Thoughtfully sourced Mediterranean dishes, fresh ingredients, and flavorful wraps
"At this fast-casual Lebanese spot, takeout doesn’t mean skimping on flavor. Chef Rafael Nasr channels his family roots into craveable dishes built for the road: creamy, spicy hummus, cheesy man’oushe flatbreads, and Tex-Med Lebanese tacos topped with fries and pickles. Larger orders travel well, including a $55 family spread with rotisserie chicken, rice, hummus, salad, and pita. Bonus: Weekday happy hour deals (4–6 p.m.) make pickup extra appealing with half-off starters and $4 drinks. Whether grabbing lunch or feeding a crowd, Craft Pita delivers comfort, spice, and ease." - Brittany Britto Garley
"This Mediterranean fast-casual restaurant is gearing up for Thanksgiving with its turkey shawarma bowl and sandwiches. Offered starting on November 4, the bowl features turkey shawarma, Lebanese rice, tabbouleh, cabbage, turnips, garlic aioli, and cranberry sauce, while the sandwich features turkey shawarma, garlic aioli, lettuce, tomato, red cabbage, and pickles. Diners looking for a turkey spread can reserve a slow-roasted, whole Leabanese-style turkey breast that’s marinated in shawarma spices for over 24 hours. Turkey is available for pick-up the day before Thanksgiving (November 27), plus sides, salads, spreads, sauces, and desserts like baklava. Both locations of Craft Pita will be closed on Thanksgiving and Black Friday." - Brittany Britto Garley
"I saw that Craft Pita will offer a limited-edition Scary Habanero hot sauce for $10 from October 25–31, and the West University location will host a pumpkin patch giving diners a complimentary pumpkin with a meal purchase (first-come, first-served) plus free pumpkin decoration kits for on-site decorating." - Brittany Britto Garley
"With a major focus on local ingredients, Craft Pita prides itself on offering a fresh take on classic dishes. Score feta and tomato salad, traditional Lebanese kafta that’s made with wagyu, and super-creamy baba ganoush. The menu also incorporates owner Rafael Nasr’s family’s own olive oil from Lebanon, which is swirled into picture-perfect plates of hummus and labneh." - Brittany Britto Garley
"At Craft Pita, everyone has their own space, from the lone soul donning headphones and hacking away at a falafel pita to the family of six that prioritizes the seasonal special and french fries. The large Mediterranean restaurant in West University is where people come to sit in their bubble while having mezze samplers and rubbing sticky baklava bits off of their fingers. There’s a neighborhood joint feel. At some point, a staff member will come from behind the counter to check on their favorite regular or ensure newcomers have everything they need. Come here when you need a quick meal or are in the mood for booza ice cream and want to stay in one spot." - Gianni Greene
