Middle Eastern eatery serving inventive pita pizzas and fresh dips
"An Iraqi-owned operation that moved to a larger West Village space with room for dining; shareables like labne and pita work well for groups, but for takeout the merguez sandwich — spicy lamb sausage with lettuce and tomato ($18) — is a satisfying portable option, while a falafel sandwich provides a budget-friendly vegetarian alternative ($12)." - Melissa McCart
"Egghill only does breakfast sandwiches, and they do them well. We get The Mustache, named, we can only assume, for all the stuff that undoubtedly graces your upper lip as you eat it. These fluffy eggs come with bacon, fontal cheese, onion jam, and a dijonaise that happily employs a bit of whole grain mustard in there. Or, you can go simple and get Egghill’s namesake sandwich, with cheddar, greens, and “good sauce” (a mayo/ketchup combo with grilled onions and seasoning) topping your scrambled eggs." - ann walczak
"This Middle Eastern restaurant — the owner is Iraqi — has been around for 35 years and moved not long ago from somnolent Bedford Street to hopping Seventh Avenue South. It claims to have invented the pitza — a freshly made pita with toppings that range from finely ground lamb to a puree of green herbs to conventional pizza toppings of tomato sauce and mozzarella. Ten bread dips to be eaten with freshly made pitas constitute another desirable meal option, and there are grilled meats, too." - Robert Sietsema
