Pita My Shawarma

Had a great experience trying Pita My Shawarma’s new mezze & wine flights! I got a flight of red wine, the handcut zataar fries (with a side of garlic), falafel, mixed nuts, hummus, and lebne! Perfect for a date night to share or if you’re hungry but can’t decide on a main course to order!

The person taking our order was really nice and made sure I got fries in my shawarma just the way I wanted! The food was amazing I wish I had taken a picture, but I was too hungry and couldn’t wait to eat 🤣. I’ll definitely be going back to try more items from their menu!

I hadn’t been here in years and decided to try the chicken shawarma rice bowl, but unfortunately the quality has gone down. Chicken was a bit dry, it was mostly lettuce, and they forgot the red sauce I paid extra for. It didn’t seem like this was worth $16 for me. I’m a rather tiny person, 100 lbs, and I’m still pretty hungry after eating what I could..

Stopped in for some lunch and had the pleasure of meeting and having a conversation with Jason. The food was amazing as always and the restaurant itself was as well. Jason is a very nice stand up guy who shows a lot of care and effort in making everything he serves to the best of his ability. Best shawarma spot in all of Pittsburg!!

Had a below average experience at this place with my family! Ordered their chicken over rice shawarma and chicken shawarma. The shawarma came with a very bland chicken filling and the garlic sauce had a very strong acidic flavor that had a strong burning flavor to it. Chicken over rice quantity was soo less compared to other places that offer them. We came here after seeing promotions of their page but ended up disappointed

I did my research and it paid off- Pita My Shawarma has the best Shawarma Fries in Pittsburgh. This is not hyperbole. The Zataar seasoning adds so much flavor and complexity that you don’t find a lot around here. Getting even more to go. We’ll be back A LOT.

Unfortunately the shawarma was cold because they don't use a grill after wrapping it. The service guy just disappeared. Good thing is they accept sats.

6/5 stare, so tasty! Amazing shawarma! My husband had never had shawarma before and left pita my shawarma raving. If you want something healthy and hefty this is definitely the place to go. We had the supreme and chicken shawarma pita with fries. Mohammed prepared all of our food with so much care! We will definitely be coming back

Randomly found this spot while driving around and thought the store had a catchy name. Finally decided to try this spot and omg! My wife is addicted to this place now. We have order from here through Uber Eats a LOT! Got the chicken shawarma rice bowl and chicken shawarma! The bowl is DEFINITELY filling! This is the closet to the real shawarma I've tried. Love the pickles they put in there! Ooooo and if you like garlic like really really like garlic they have a nice strong garlic sauce they put in the food! Will definitely be back! If you are a shawarma fan you should try this place! Haven't tried the other items but will be back for those!

I remember when this place first opened! This little Mediterranean eatery in Lawrenceville was (still is!) a great addition to the area. While Pita My Shawarma serves a limited menu, and doesn't have a ton of seating options, it makes up for those things by serving up flavorful meals. They serve shawarma, salads, and classic dips made with hummus or baba ganoush. They also serve fries, which reaaaaaaally tempted me last time I stopped by...but my coworker only ordered a salad, so I followed her lead. She kept hers completely vegetarian by topping it with falafel, while I opted for chicken. Our meals were prepped and brought out to us quickly, which we appreciated since we knew we had to go back to the office in a reasonable amount of time. It was a bright but cool fall day outside, so we opted to sit indoors and enjoy the sun through the large front windows. I'd definitely come here again...and next time I'm getting fries!

The are the best / legit shawarmas around! It's a fast-casual spot and the food is made to order. The store now has a wine bar featuring a large variety of wines from their vendor, alongside a delicious new mezze menu.

I ordered Pita My Shawarma and had it delivered so I definitely want to try this place again in person. Based on what I ordered and what I received, I think it's slightly overpriced but I'm wondering if it's different in person. I ordered the chicken and rice bowl and it was $16. Fine, but it was a very small container and the portion was definitely on the small size. Almost $10 for a cup of fries was a bit much to me too. Overall, the food was pretty good. It was cold but that's because of delivery. So like I said, I want to try again in person because I'm hoping I'll have a better experience.

Everything was very delicious! Service was quick and the meal was very filling. Would definitely go back!

If I could give this place negative stars I would. It was one of the worst dining experiences I've ever had!!! The service was terrible. The young man at the counter was extremely rude and clearly didn't care about customer service. The food was not good either. I had a chicken shawarma salad that had very little chicken and the bacon was so hard you couldn't chew it. The shawarma wrap was very dry and not good either. I definitely don't recommend.

You can definitely tell that this food is good for you! Very fresh and makes you feel good when you eat it. Showed up at my door and couldn't wait to dig in thanks to insider eats!

This was my first time trying this restaurant. I'm a big fan of shawarmas in general and had heard from some of my friends that this was a spot worth investigating. So like the food detective I am, I decided to stop by on one of my walks and take it home with me to properly savor it. I was not disappointed. The first bite let me know everything I needed to know. Pairing it with extra garlic sauce was a great decision that I recommend. You can tell the chicken is fresh and spiced very well. I know it's a small thing, but I also appreciate how they heat up the pita bread before assembling the shawarma. It's a small detail but I think it adds a lot of value. This is definitely a spot worth stopping in and grabbing a shawarma to go. I wouldn't say I was particularly inclined to sit in the restaurant. In my opinion, this is a more grab and go type of establishment. Nonetheless, I think it's a restaurant worth trying if you haven't already. 4/5

Food was super bland. I got the chicken and hummus and it was not great. The food had no seasoning and it didn't taste like anything. Service was also not great. Definitely not worth the price either. I got a combo and it was almost 30 dollars for a small portion of essentially hummus topped with a quarter cup of veggies and a few pieces of chicken. On a positive note the outside of the restaurant is cute and the pita was good. I definitely won't come back.

I ordered takeout from here last night and it was so good! I can't speak to the restaurant itself as I door dashed it, but delivery was quick and the food was great. I got extra chicken, and I'm so happy I did because it was so good. The hummus and garlic sauce was amazing, and I loved the pickles!

This place looks cute but I was pretty disappointed. There was no AC inside on a super hot summer day. Everyone says it's expensive here and it is for a basic chicken pita wrap since it ended up being $14 for just chicken and lettuce in a pita. I am low fodmap and the food here isn't really that low fodmap friendly. I had the garlic sauce on the side that I didn't end up using. Inside the stale wrap was chicken and lettuce. It had little to no flavor and the chicken was not what you normally get at Shawarma spots I've been to in NYC. It felt more like grilled chicken. It didn't feel like the pita was heated up either, the whole wrap was kind of cold. Definitely have had better shawarma from a cart on the street.

You walk in and immediately smell deliciousness and can see meat on a spit being made at Pittsburgh's most authentic shawarma. Pita My Shawarma located in Lawrenceville, serving up Lebanese street food, falafel, Halloumi fries, hummus and more. Started as a food truck and has evolved into that plus a storefront. Absolutely incredible food. They have some seating indoors, some outdoors, offer pickup and are available on food delivery services as well. Super clean space, very friendly staff and you can watch them make your meal as the kitchen is exposed. Tried their hummus dip and pita which is fresh homemade hummus with two loaves of fresh pita bread- may be one of the best homemade hummuses I have had! The Chicken Shawarma & Rice is a fresh, hand stacked, & rotisserie shaven chicken over Lebanese rice with fresh veggies and a garlic sauce. This was delicious and the portion was a decent size (I had leftovers)! Had to taste their hand-cut Zaaatar fries- wow were these good. Hand cut fries with sesame, thyme seasoning and kosher salt with a side of ketchup and aioli to dip! Couldn't leave without tasting their Baklava- with an order you get two pieces of this sweet dessert made with filo dough, walnuts, simple syrup and pistachio crumbles. I am jumping on the bandwagon, Shawarma Is Life!!!

It was exactly what I was looking for! Wanted something that didn't cost too much, had a good bit of protein, and wasn't too fatty, and this fit the bill!! The pita was overfilled with lean chicken and surrounded by lettuce and pickled veggies. There was also this great garlic sauce on it that really tied everything together. Nice location well decorated.

Easily the best, THE best shawarma fries I have ever had. The guy at the counter was chill and made the food fast. I could talk about these fries for days. The seasoning, the hummus, the chicken, absolutely phenomenal. Top notch in every field imaginable. Great drinks too. I personally got Mexican coke, but they have a wide variety of other stuff.

First off. It was $42 for only two people. I was expecting this would be really good. But man was I wrong. We got the shawarma bowl. It had chicken that was rubbery. And tomatoes that were huge. The worst was the dollop of garlic sauce they put right in the middle that absolutely ruined the taste. I had to soak mine in hot sauce just to over power the garlic. The fries could've tasted good if they weren't soggy and undercooked. Overall paid a lot of money for a really dissatisfying meal. End up throwing most of it away. Save your money go somewhere else.

Kind Owner, Incredible Food -- Get the Loaded Fries! Pita My Shawarma is one of those rare spots where the food is amazing and the people make you feel like family. The owner is truly one of the kindest I've ever met--always welcoming, generous, and clearly passionate about what he's serving. Everything is fresh and flavorful, but if you only get one thing, let it be the loaded fries. They're hands-down the best thing on the menu--crispy, perfectly seasoned, and piled high with juicy shawarma, creamy garlic sauce, and all the toppings. It's comfort food done right. Whether you're a regular or a first-timer, this place hits every time. Highly recommend

We just had a chicken shawarma and a falafel at Pita My Shawarma. The owner was very friendly and the food was delicious. I had the falafel, which was fresh and tasty. I love the Pittsburgh twist of fresh crunchy pickles in the falafel. I heard that the chicken shawarma was good too. The fries were good too. But the best part of the meal was baklava. It was crunchy with a tinge of sweetness.

I ordered a build your own falafel pita. It was excellent. Fresh, tasty, and filling. My only extremely minor issue was that the garlic sauce is strong enough to kill an elephant. I'd like it toned down a bit. I think that next time I'd go w/ sesame sauce. My wife was less than thrilled w/ her falafel and Shwarma bowl. She felt that the falafel was too dense. I'd happily go back. Jason - the chef / order filler / do it all guy was pleasant and working hard. The restaurant isn't much to look at but it's bright and clean.

My husband got the supreme shawarma and I got the chicken shawarma with salad, add feta and siracha aioli....WOW...these exceeded our expectations and we will be back! HIGHLY recommend!

It's a halal place in Pittsburgh, which is nice. But, I was pretty disappointed with my wrap from this place. The chicken shawarma was not what I expected it to be, and just left me really underwhelmed. First, the prices. Most reviews will mention the price, and yes it's definitely on the expensive side. I'd be okay with paying the premium if the shawarma was incredible. But, it's not. The chicken had a somewhat rubbery, chewy, odd texture and the flavor was also off. The pita itself was somewhat stale and I've definitely had far better pitas at other locations. Highly doubt that this is homemade (for a price like this, it definitely at least should be homemade pita). A few pieces of tomato. Barely any garlic sauce, as if it wasn't even included. Chunks of pickles that were pretty decent. They did follow my order instructions to not include the lettuce, which was nice. All in all, would not recommend. Very underwhelming, especially for the price! The flavor, portion, and prices are all off. Would rather drive to Mt. Lebo for Laziz's incredible wrap.

Not recommended. Your money will be wasted. And you'll have a strange taste in your mouth all day long. And of course, You may need to go to the toilet 3-4 times

Delicious choices on a limited menu. Vegetarian and and Vegan options. Good food and large portions. Nice outdoor dining options, both on the sidewalk, plus a cute side garden. The front door is sticky, everyone struggled to open it. I thought it was locked. Fast, courteous service.

The food great! My personal favorite was the chicken shawarma! (Get the Zaatar seasoning) Food didn't take long and overall good for a quick meal.

Ordered to-go food from here last week. Everything was quick and so, so fresh! I got a salad, hummus and the baba ganoush. Love that the pita they serve is from a local business also!

Last night, we wanted to eat something different so we decided to try Pita My Shawarma in Lawrenceville. So glad that we did! Both the chicken and the beef (only available on weekends) were so well seasoned and so flavorful. The beef really packed a punch. Loved the garlic sauce On the beef. The French fries were hand cut fries and really good. We liked the chicken best. Next time, I'll either get the loaded fries with chicken or see if they could put chicken on the Halloumi Fries. The reviews said the Halloumi Fries were really good. I love cheese so I'm in. Check them out. There is no space to eat inside but they're little patio is open. There is also a table in the front we ate on. Masks are enforced which is good.

Conveniently located on Butler St, I've been wanting to try this place countless times that I've passed by, so I finally stopped in last evening to grab a meal to go. I ordered the falafel wrap and baba ganoush dip while my friend ordered the chicken shawarma. Their pita comes from Pitaland in Brookline, another local favorite. The food is phenomenal, but the lack of a/c and unfriendly demeanor of the staff was just ok. I will be back to try some of their specialty fries and baklava, the outdoor space looked nice.

I stopped in last night for a falafel wrap and a side of hummus and it was very good! I really haven't been able to find good falafel in Pittsburgh and this is definitely the best I've had! We ended up taking these to Arsenal park and ate it there and we had a great time. This is definitely a good place to come if you're craving a falafel wrap! I also really appreciated that it noted which items were vegan right on the menu. More places need to do this!!

We had takeout the other night and it was crazy good. It was our first Lebanese food experience and we'll definitely be back for more. The flavor was incredible, from the grilled smokiness of the chicken to the depth of all the sauces and pickled vegetables. They accommodated any requests I made (sauce on side etc) and were quick with the delivery. Can't wait to try more!

Me and my daughter got the chicken shawarmas and they were very good. They are very salty so a minute made acuas Frescas mango was great with it. We also got the loaded shawarma fries with chick which was also good but even saltier. The service was nice and quick and the ambiance in the little restaurant was nice and refreshing, a little more expensive then you'd think, but overall a very good experience

I came across this place on my Instagram and I couldn't believe we have a legit place right here in Pittsburgh. My Shawarma experience comes from Germany (Turkish and middle eastern eateries) and Israel. We got Chicken Shawarmas and mine came with an addition of Hungry Jess Sriracha Aioli. The pita was crispy outside and soft inside with the chicken just melting in your mouth. Loved the spice blend and took me back to Israel! It was really filling although I was sad when I took my last bite. I don't have any other places in Pittsburgh to compare with and I know it's a little bit more expensive compared to other prices. I am not sure I will try any other places just to save a few bucks.

A neighbor has been working with several area food trucks to come and set up shop in the neighborhood once a week. Tonight, Pita My Shawarma was the scheduled food truck (if the food truck is sent from a different location than Butler, my apologies). I like shawarma. My kids are too finicky to try something new, and my wife isn't one for it, so I don't often get the chance to pig out on the stuff. So when I heard this food truck was coming, I eagerly awaited it. Scheduled my dinner around it, actually. It was our understanding that the truck was supposed to arrive at 5PM. 5 o'clock rolls around, no sign of any truck. 6? Still nothing. By 6:30, I had to make other dinner arrangements, and apparently others did as well. Eventually I find out the truck eventually DID show up. Just shy of 7PM. Okay, shit happens, so be it. Maybe I'll still be able to grab one as a snack for later? No. Why? Because whoever was in charge of the truck for the day decides to pack up and leave at 8 on the dot. So you're two hours late, and then you only stay for an hour? What the hell guys?

I've loved them since they were still a good truck. Being able to go to a brick and mortar spot is even more special. We've been here several times since the opening and have never been disappointed. The authentic flavors and love put into the food takes me back to the same style home cooking of old family friends.

Stopped in the afternoon and picked up a chicken shawarma and a falafel wrap for the wife and I. Food is made to order and was made up in just a couple minutes. It smelled so good that it took every ounce of my self-control to wait to eat until I got home! The falafel was light yet flavorful, and loaded with fresh vegetables. The chicken shawarma was also very tasty and worked well with the sauces. Food is reasonably priced and I'd definitely come back when in Lawrenceville!

So I went back at the request of the business. And I must say. He treated me really well and gave me a try at their chicken schwarma sandwich and fries. From my last review I barely got fries. Barely got a sandwich with warm meat. This time. Much much different. They have worked the kinks out and are now able to not only provide fresh and warm meat but they didn't run out of chicken. Which I must add is seasoned perfectly and tasted out of this world. I wish I had pictures to post but I killed half the hot fries on the way home. The portions are much fairer now and quite large. I'd say they would challenge five guys in terms of how many fries I got. The sandwich itself. Perfectly cooked and seasoned chicken. Veggies and a sauce. It was simple and traditional but delish. I wish they did add more sauces / a hot sauce though like you see on those foreign Instagram food posts. Would be a sick addition. All in all def will come back for that giant chicken sandwich. So good.

The wraps here are delicious! They have chicken, steak, falafel and hummus. I got the falafel which was excellent. The falafel was nicely prepared--not overly deep fried at all. Everything tasted very fresh. You can order online from their website. The staff was all very nice as well.

Nice place to get a quick, satisfying meal in Lawrenceville. We tried the chicken and rice bowl and chicken loaded Shawarma fries. Personally, i loved the tenderness and seasoning of the chicken. I was also in love with the garlic sauce they added on top of both dishes. However, my friend thought it was too garlicky. The portions are generous. Their inside seating is a bit limited (bar stools) but they have outdoor seating next to the building. I would come back to try their wraps.

Really good grab and go food. Something a little different but not too different for people who may have a more meat and potatoes palate. I got the chicken shawarma, a side of fries, and baba ghanouj. I liked how they put pickled in the wrap. I love sauces and condiments so I ordered extra garlic sauce on the side. Be warned if you may be getting this for date night because the garlic is STRONG! I really enjoyed it though! The fries were fresh cut and had a really nice amount of salt and seasoning on them. I wanted baklava as a well and was sad that they were out of it, but I'll just have to get it next time! A little on the pricey side, but nothing to deter me from coming back.

This place is so expensive. The pita isn't even homemade $20 for a hummus wrap and small fry because you were sold out of falafel at 630. It's insulting really to pay that much for a hard pita and a small amount of hummus and one pickle. At least the fries were hot

I first tried pita my shawarma through a yelp event and absolutely fell in love with the falafel pita. When I was in the area and was looking for something to pick-up for dinner, I knew I wanted to visit Pita My Shawarma again. I ordered through my yelp app which was super easy and gave me an estimate on when I could come pick it up- super easy process. We tried the falafel and the chicken shawarma- both of which were delicious. Will def. order take-out again soon!

The food was great. Shawarma was exactly as it should be and filling. Service was quick and courteous. We ate inside as it was windy and cold out. Place itself is small but works as it is not a sit down restaurant anyway and that was not the expectation. Chicken in every bite, flavorful and wholesome and satisfying.Will definitely make this our stop when the Shawarma craving hits.

YUM! This local spot has some great shawarma. Very fresh food. Highly recommend getting the chicken shawarma bowl, great portion size. The cheese type stuff they put on top is so good. We got take out but they do have an outdoor patio area and some indoor seating. Check their social media for some great deals!

I don't find enough authentic middle eastern food in the city! The food was rich in flavor and made by heart right in front of you. The environment is more of a grab and go with limited indoor seating, but an outdoor patio when weather permits. Lots of vegan/vegetarians options are available! You're definitely eating the rainbow here. Comfortable environment and reasonable prices. I'd go back again! Check it out

This place is amazing! This place is right beside Cantina in Lawrenceville on Butler. Its a cozy place with great outdoor seating. They have an nice size many with lots to choose from. You can order a regular size Pita or a mini shawarma for eating there or to go. Make sure you order the "hungry Jess Shawarma".

Really nice authentic food! Not my typical but it's awesome! Give it a try when you want something different than normal!

Best mediterranean food in Pittsburgh Food was amazing. I tried chicken and beef and they were both nicely seasoned. Fresh cut were great. Food made freshly and you can taste it. Shawarma is great. Falafel is top notch

I wanted to get the chicken but they ran out as it was the end of the evening, I ended up getting the falafel and was really impressed that it wasn't meat and all veggies based. Would return again. Fast and quick service. Few spots to sit inside and they have outside patio seating which is nice.

We were visiting Pittsburgh last weekend and wanted to try this restaurant. We had a chicken shawarma wrap and a falafel humans bowl. Both were delicious! Also a side of cheese sticks with chili dipping sauce and some french fries. The food tasted so fresh and was seasoned to perfection! Afterwards we walked in the area and enjoyed the fun shops! This is a fun and delicious area to visit!

Oh boy. What a great lunch. My first time here and I had the chicken hummus shawarma and it was delicious!! So I noticed as I was leaving that they come in two sizes, sorry I didn't get the large. Food was ready in minutes. Will be back tomorrow as I am working a project in the area.

Great flavor, had the chicken wraps and fries. Good for a quick casual bite but a little more pricey
