The Pita Pit

I think I met the owner/ manager. I don't know. He was standing outside greeting customers, and when I was inside he was in the back running around doing stuff. Either way you can tell he really cares about the business and wants his customers to be happy.

The girl at the register/the girl that made my food, can't say the same for her. I went in to look at the menu because I had never been there before, never had a pita. She comes in and stands behind the register and stares at me. I could feel her staring a holes through my head. I didn't have a question as I was just reading the menu, but in an instance like that I suggest come one in customer service or food service start asking questions of making suggestions. That staring was not cool. When she did speak to me I felt like she was talking to me like an idiot. The nice thing is when I saw her later she asked how my food was, so I guess the way she was earlier was her version of customer service? It needs improving.

As for the food, it was ok. I'm not sure about the onions. Red onions carry salmonella and their red onions looked old and gave me the creeps. The ones on the side where they take your order looked fresh and new. The ones on the side where they make your food looked left over from the day before. But this is all speculation so take that with a grain of salt. The turkey on the inside of my pita was cold. I guess I didn't have such a great experience.

If you are looking for Mediterranean (Israeli. Lebanese,Palastinian) falafel you will be very dissapointed. They do not make thier falafel there but they get it delivered and then they put it on the griddle to heat up and squirt oil on it.  The falafel was warm on the outside and cold and greasy on the inside. Not sure about anything else on the menu.  

If you have been out drinking all night long and need something to fill your stomach I guess you will be OK.

I was so happy to discover this place in Fort Lauderdale!! It brings me back to my University days in Canada where we had one on campus and one right downtown.

So, if you happen to be wandering the streets out downtown and maybe had a little too much to drink, well make a pit stop at Pita Pit. In the heart of downtown, close to all the bars the place is always bumping (especially after 2:30am when the bars are closing). Prices are reasonable and the staff is always friendly even with the many intoxicated patrons.

Overall, it's a great place if you're wandering downtown hungry for a late night snack. If you are stopping for lunch, beware there is only street parking.

Follow These Steps to enjoy a delicious pita:
First, Choose which meat/or protein you want, they grill it fresh for you,
Second, Choose either a white or whole wheat pita.
Third, Choose as many fresh veggies and toppings as you possibly think  can fit!
Fourth, Stuff your face, but you might want to bring your own bib, it can get quite messy (especially if you've had a few cocktails) ;)
