The Pita Pit

Back when I was in college, I discovered a tasty gem across the street from the building where my program was housed.  I stayed in a studio for 2 years learning how to be an interior designer and my class rarely left this room during the school year.  Being prisoner to a certain area and having to park a mile away from my classes I needed to find food that was close by.  I got tired of Subway and the surrounding eateries, so I tried the Pita Pit one night.

I was very surprised and then hooked on the chicken Caesar wrap.
In fact, that's the only wrap I've ever had from there.  Since it's so hard to find these places, I can only get my fix every once in a long while so I don't mess around and go to my favorite.

First I will say, yes, they are hard to find, but they do have more and more locations popping up across the country.  The interiors are very colorful with red and yellow walls and little cartoon ingredients and wraps dancing across their walls.  Very charming and cute I think.

The food is very good and they have a lot of healthy choices so you don't feel like your cheating your diet.
You order a wrap at the counter - let's say chicken Caesar for plain deliciousness.  You pay, then move over to where the grill is.  You start with a wrap, either white or wheat, then pick whatever you want to go into it.
Now the chicken Caesar wrap comes with chicken and bacon, which gets tossed on the grill in front of you, but you could easily ask for no bacon.  Traditionally, it's romaine lettuce, the chicken and bacon, Parmesan cheese crumbs, and a little Caesar dressing thrown in.  When it's done they half wrap it for you and taadaa, you are ready to eat it.  If you're taking it to go they just fully wrap it and off you go, but most of the time I just eat there, because I can't wait to dig in.

Pardon my coupon here (it's not printable - I just needed a picture).  But doesn't that look delicious?  It's not the chicken Caesar, but the Dagwood, the newest wrap.  Don't take my word for it though, here's a few more wraps they offer on the menu:
All pitas include choice of cheese, sauce and toppings

The chicken crave - chicken, ham and melted provolone.  This will be my next favorite I'm sure.
Club - ham turkey and bacon
Philly steak - beef, grilled onions, and green peppers
Gyro - seasoned beef strips
Chicken Souvlaki - Greek seasoned chicken
Chicken breast - add what you will
Turkey - add anything you like
Prime Rib - see above
Tuna - etc.

You get the idea, but they also have breakfast pitas served any time (which I haven't tried yet)
Ham N' Eggs - scrambled eggs, black forest ham, hash browns, grilled green peppers, onions & mushrooms
Chicken Classic - scrambled eggs, chicken breast, hash browns, grilled green peppers, mushrooms & onions
Awakin' with Bacon - scrambled eggs, bacon, hash browns, grilled green peppers & onions
Morning Glory - scrambled eggs, avocados, sauteed tomatoes, hash browns, grilled green peppers & onions, your choice of cheese and sauces.

A major plus is that my mom doesn't get sick when she eats here with me and she has Celiac's disease (an allergy to Gluten [wheat] so she can't eat breads, pastas and anything else with barley, wheat, whey, malt, etc.)  Somehow the pita bread they use doesn't bother her so it's a great place for me to take her out to eat.  You should try it, I think it's really high quality good eats!
