Pita Pit - Fort Lauderdale

Inexpensive and does the job when I'm tired of my same pizza spot and empanada spot. The staff always greets you with smiles and welcomes you. Service is quick and professional. Better than your average fast food option for this type of food. I wish they were open even later than they are.

My experience is for a take out order that was for 10 people. Set up is similar to a Subway or Chipotle where you order at a counter, select your toppings. Drinks chips are self service. Small pitas are about the size of a McDonald's burrito. Salads come in a square cardboard box. Sandwich meat is processed chicken gyro meat that is not very flavorful. Toppings are fresh plentiful. For the price quality, I would choose Mini Pita Mediterranean Cafe where everything is authentic, freshly made to order and no processed foods.

I came here after a night of drinking with my boyfriend and best friend. My best friend ordered first. She took her banana and chips. I ordered for my boyfriend and I next. We sat down at the table. I don’t even know where to start. My friend was standing talking to the lady. I didn’t know she was picking her toppings for her pita. My friend is friendly, so I thought she was making small talk. Meanwhile, the man working walks up behind me and asks me if I took the half eaten banana that was on my table. I told him no. And he questioned me, “So, who did?” I replied that my friend did. I was confused, didn’t he take her order? Then when my friend got her pita I told her what just happened. She started laughing because the man never even noticed she took the banana without paying cause he was too busy flirting with her. We waited awhile for my boyfriend and my pitas. The people after us got their pita first. Now I was really getting frustrated. I questioned the two working and they had the nerve to ask me, “What did you order?” ARE YOU KIDDING ME? First of all, you took my order. Second, is it that busy for you to forget? There was literally my friend, boyfriend, me and a small group of three there. I had to repeat back my order. The man replied to me saying that I had to stand there, which is why my order took so long. Mind you, the people after us who order and still received their pita before us sat right down after paying. They did not stand by the glass to tell them the toppings. Additionally, this was my first time here, don’t you think you should mention this to me while you saw me sitting there the entire time? I just told him put everything. I should’ve received my food already and just wanted to eat. I didn’t care anymore. He tried to offer me a beer or smoothie on the house, like that was going to make up for the accusation, delay, and mistreatment. I wish I knew their name. I got their picture, however. GREAT FOOD THO! Thai burrito was okay.

Ordered pitas for 5 people. Order came on time and receipt was correct. NONE of the orders were correct and the pitas were cold. Shouldn’t be surprised since this happened in past orders. There must be illiterate people who work here, because it isn’t hard to follow simple instructions. It says online if there is an issue with the order to call the store directly. That would have been great if their phone worked. I tried to reach them for 30 min and each time the phone would go to a busy dial tone. NEVER ordering from this location again. Would rather make the trip to the Fort Myers, Florida location. Never had an issue there.

The Pita Pit in downtown Fort Lauderdale appears to be a franchise. I need to visit another location to see if this one reflects the overall standard, but if it does, it's definitely worth checking out. The restaurant is conveniently situated in the heart of Fort Lauderdale, close to bars and nightclubs. It's clean, and the staff is very welcoming. I ordered the chicken Caesar Pita as part of a combo with a drink and chips. Everything is made fresh, and there is minimal wait time for orders. The topping bar is impressive, featuring a variety of fresh vegetables and cheeses to customize your meal. The prices are reasonable, and the beverage station offers a good selection, including soda, tea, and fruit juices. Overall, it's a winner!
