Pita Pitaki

So let me start by saying, that I am originally from Chicago. So I know a good gyro when I get one. This spot is hands down the best gyro spot I have personally tried in all of socal. It literally beats the breaks off of all the more bougie gyro spots in Lbc/LA. The teziki is super fresh and delicious, as I'm a (teziki s1ut lol) ;) The fries are seasoned to perfection, the pita is always soft and tastes very fresh. And the meat. Omg, the lamb gyro is so good. I eat myself full sick, cause I can't stop myself from picking at it after I'm already full. That also leads me to my last thought on the food. The portions are very generous. The gyro combo is enough for two meals. If you can stop yourself from eating the whole thing. Hahaha. Literally I can not say enough good things about this place. If you haven't been, all I can say is GOOO! It's a hidden gem. Now let's get into the service. I've been probably around 5-10 times now. However, by my second time ordering over the phone for pick up. The awesome green haired girl Sophia already recognized my voice and my order. She always has a bright smile and is very welcoming and friendly! And her right hand girl Christina, is on point putting together the orders and making it happen for the customer. Seriously. I can't rave enough about this place. You are missing out if you haven't been there yet!

Went on a weekend and got the Lamb Gyro Pita with fries & drink. Fifteen bucks for the combo but it stands out in three particular areas: 1) The gyro meat and tzatziki sauce were seasoned perfectly hearty, 2) fries were seasoned accordingly, and 3) they give you big portions. Doubt you'll leave here hungry. Cannot recommend this place enough if you're looking for a Greek Gyro.

This place is fabulous! Food was delish! The customer service was on point! They took the time to explain what items had ingredients that I was allergic to. The young man who took the orders was friendly and even checked to make sure our food was okay. This is a place I definitely will be revisiting, as there are many things on the menu that I must try!!!

I love this place hands down it's the best Greek Mediterranean spot I know west of Greece! 😉 I cannot get enough of their food so much so that I have to try something new every time I visit Pita Pitaki. I usually get the chicken kabobs and an order of their feta fries. When we went in we had a few different entrees we ordered and every seemed very pleased with their food selection. The feta cheese is some of the best and softest cheese I've ever had along with the oil and sprinkles of herbs on top. I will definitely bring my loved ones back to this place so they can experience the goodness we have here in Long Beach at Pita Pitaki!

I have been a faithful customer since they opened. I used to come at least once every week. It was one of my favorite restaurants in Long Beach. I liked the food and before what happened tonight, I was very happy with their customer service. I ordered a lamb gyro. While I was eating it, I felt at least three times that I was biting a very hard piece of unknown origin. I mentioned unknown because lamb is supposed to be soft. I opened the gyro and found a couple of burnt lamb slices. I mean, totally burnt to the extent that they were not eatable. I felt extremely disappointed that Pita Pitaki dared to serve me two slices of beef that belonged in the trash can and not in my gyro. I felt insulted and disrespected. Whoever made the gyro clearly noticed that what he was putting in my gyro was pure garbage. There's no excuse for what he did. It was obvious that the slices of burnt lamb were left in my gyro on purpose. Most likely the person who made the gyro assumed that I would enjoy eating a piece of garbage. I am extremely disappointed with their quality control and inadequate customer service. A couple of times in the past I got cold fries and very hard fries in my gyro and now another big disappointment. After being coming to Pita Pitaki since they opened, I have decided not to come back. I would rather drive an hour to Papa Cristo in L.A. and have a great meal that I am 100% sure I won't regret. It is a great Greek restaurant in which food quality is the main priority.

This place gets five stars for everything. Food is delicious and portions are generous, staff is friendly and accommodating, service is always great. The atmosphere is inviting, fun, and relaxed. I no longer live in the area, and I still drive over 30 minutes to eat here.

Wow so good! And so friendly! It was my bf's and I first time trying Mediterranean food. Although we did get a little intimidated by the menu on how to understand the names, we are glad we still tried it! It was delicious and the employees were so friendly, we sat outside and one of the girls helped by turning on an outdoor ceiling heater. Very good food and service!

I'm Greek originally and I just had the pleasant surprise to taste the food here for the first time yesterday. A friend recommended it and wanted my "expert" opinion. I was thouroughly impressed with the authenticity of the food and the great flavors. Can't wait to go back soon :). Great atmosphere and service too. Bravo pedia! Sinxaritiria :).

Amazing food for great great price And lots of food .. The best ... The feta fries are awesome The salad delicious

We may have overindulged a little since we are not often in the area. We literally tried some of everything. The food here is really good, but what makes this place even better is it's family run. The lamb was my favorite item. Fresh, crisp salads. Great hummus and baba ghanoush. Some of the meats we got were a little overdone and on the drier side which is the only reason for 4 stars since I can't say I enjoyed everything we ordered. Can't go wrong with the skewers! The baklava comes in a big square piece and was spot on! The restaurant is casual with limited seating, maybe 6-7 tables. Parking: Small private lot.

Casual Greek establishment with good portion sizes and prices. Women servers here are friendlier than the men. Legit Athens-style pork gyros with fries inside. I've had the beef gyro but enjoy the pork gyro way more. I had one underwhelming meal on Mother's Day when the women were given a day off.

I have been to this restaurant a while back and I had the Moussaka, and it was delicious. The flavors were great, and the portion was a decent size and it was definitely a good value. This place was recommended recently recommended by a Foodie Facebook Group, so I thought I would give it another try as part of my Mediterranean Long Beach food tour where I tried various dishes at over a dozen Mediterranean restaurants in a 6-month period. When I recently returned, it was a completely different experience. Since they don't have beef Kabos plates, I tried the gyro. The meat of the gyro was dry. When I was here last time a friend ordered the gyro plate, and my gyro looked different from my previous visit. The ambiance is chill. The restaurant is in a small strip mall with its only parking lot, so parking was easy.

This is authentic, well-made fresh Greek food. I am Greek and know when I'm being served the real deal and this is definitely it I've tried everything on their menu (except for lamb, which I don't eat) and can recommend it all. The service is fast and presented in generous portions -- either for take-out or eating in. I love this place! Easy access to the 405, Cherry exit, and free parking in the small lot in front of the entrance door. Try it!

Thanks Pita Pitaki for a quick pick me up. I was greeted immediately upon entering the restaurant and the staff was ready to accept my order so again, thank you for being prompt. The restaurant isn't the largest, but it has ample seating for your lunch or dinner needs. We chose carry out in order to eat at home and after a 20 minute drive the food was lukewarm and delicious to say the least. The gyros were not soggy from the sauce at all, the flavors joined together well. I must add that I had stepped outside the restaurant to take a phone call and while I was ready to walk back in to get my order it was walked out and placed in my hands. Wow what great folks!

Simple and large portions! Got the eggplant appetizer, chicken gyros and beet salad with chicken. Total was $45 with tip. The one comment I would have is the ingredients of the salad were so big, it was hard to eat, I wish they cut the fig, tomatoes and cheese up a bit so it was easier to eat. We ordered for 2 people and we were stuffed with plenty of plenty overs. The service was great, super friendly and asked how we were doing after we got our food. The place is pretty small inside but they have two booths and two small tables and a few tables outside as well. We wanted to try their desserts but we were so full we will have to come back again to try.

Second time here for lunch Both meals have been outstanding and great value I had pork gyro and Greek salad. Better selection of fresh vegetables in this salad and homemade dressing Gyro had moist and flavorful meat - a two hand meal A drink comes with combo Small strip center parking but I have found a spot both times

Fantastic. Had the dolmas and tzatziki which delicious. Hubs had the lamb shank with orzo and I had the gyro platter with Greek salad. Everything was well prepared, service was fast and nice. We expected much less from "fast" food and were happily surprised. Def will return when we come to the antique market

This place is a little gem. Quality and Service are great! I recommend the lamb gyro! Its perfect size

Good local spot for all the Mediterranean eats. Quick service. Small eating area. Worth it.

My boyfriend and I recently tried this place and we were blown away (more importantly him because he had a different favorite place before we tried here). The staff were very friendly and the food was incredible! I found the prices to be pretty reasonable as well. Definitely is going to be added to our rotation!

Delicious!!! The food is beautifully presented and tastes so good. I happened upon this gem and am so happy I did! Most only is the food delicious, the staff is extremely nice.

I ate the 1/2 lemon chicken and almost cried from how nourishing and delicious and incredible it all was. This food is medicine for the soul. Everything from food to the friendly and proud service.

Everything was GREAT! We found the restaurant which is only nominally on Cherry and actually faces away from Cherry onto its parking lot. The restaurant features a gyros sandwich combo which is both fairly priced and delicious. Moreover, the staff is cordial and helpful.

Our 2nd time to this hole in the wall Greek food in Long Beach. We enjoyed the food, authentic and tasty. Big portions and reasonable price. Descent service

We come here every week without fail. One of our favorite Mediterranean places in LB. Greek Salad w/Chicken is 10/10 and baklava which is quoted as being "the best I've ever had" by my wife, so.... Highly recommend!

Best Greek restaurant in Long Beach! 100% Authentic & Greek owned. Pitapitaki is located off Cherry and Wardlow tucked away in the middle of a small shopping plaza.The ambiance is casual, clean with a nice traditional "taverna" sit-down. When you walk in you immediately see the menu. The interior is nicely decorated with Cycladic pieces (the white and blue color style). Outside are more seats to eat al-fresco. The bougainvilleas are a nice greek village touch. Overall atmosphere is a 10/10. You feel as if you're in Greece with the greek television in the background. Service: The staff are very sharp, attentive and hard workers. They can explain the menu and are quick to understand what anyone is looking for. When I am in the area I frequent the place and the occasional little greetings by the cooks are what makes it feel like home. The staff are very friendly. Experience: This is by far the best and most AUTHENTIC Greek establishment in the area & in Long Beach. Look no further, TRUST ME, I have done the trial and error process. The menu has variety. It includes traditional Mediterranean dishes with authentic items: Gigantes, Avgolemono, Tyropita, Gemista, Mousaka etc. If you see these dishes on the menu, 80% chance the menu is authentically Greek. The variety and quality of the menu is well developed. For dessert, do try the Baklava Cheesecake if you're a fan of both desserts. It's an embarrassment to riches. Ingredients: Nothing but the best bang for your buck. Genuine Greek olive oil, fresh produce, and amazing, generous feta. Greek food is all about the freshness -- it's what makes it taste good. In my books for mediterranean food I pay attention to the freshness, oils, and especially the feta if it is a Greek restaurant. Beverages They have greek wines available to purchase as well as Greek beers. I prefer a nice cold assytriko for lunch -- which they have for sale by the bottle. I love how frappè (greek style cold coffee) and Greek sage tea is available. One thing I don't recall seeing is Mastixa?, a greek liquor digestive However that is obscure to find on the west coast -- I highly recommend it if you like earthy, pine liquor tastes to finish off the meal. What Catches my Eye: Attention to detail here speaks for itself when you walk in. You immediately see it from the decor and the usage of their space. As for Greek food, the best litmus test is how one cooks lamb chop and octopus. They cook both well without a doubt! Also the lamb burger is such unique offering. I recommend it, the burger would fit right in at a upscale gastropub. $ Value $: The best bang for your book for the speed, quality, and convinence. Expect the main dishes to be from 15 - 20$ / per main plate. You get authenticity and freshness than spending 20$+ at a haughty sit down. Pita Pitaki is a good deal for what it offers. It's priced well, but do not let its casual chic presume its cheap either. Overall & Recommendations: Fantastic robust all around place. If you asked me for Greek food in town, this is the first and only stop I would reccomend. The prices, ambiance and quality is harmonious. I recommend trying the Lamb Burger, moussaka, and of course the pita sandwiches. Do try the tyrokafteri if you like a little feta creamy spice. For what the establishment is, I would not change anything. However, some cool dishes or concepts to add is a Greek breakfast and Greek espresso. Possibly try introducing regional greek specials. Perhaps even adding Mastixa/Greek liquor. The cherry on top for ambiance is live music; a bouzouki player would make the establishment twofold charming than it already is.

Why do you call this Falafel wrap ? Plane hummus not falafel !? Glad they provided a salad on the side

Came in tonight (Halloween) and the girl working the counter was awesome. Very friendly ( she had dyed blue-ish green hair) service was perfect. She even brought candy for everyone to pick out! I had a falafel plate /w potatoes and it was all fantastic, only knock I have is there was a couple pieces of pita that tasted stale. Rest of the plate was phenomenal. I usually don't eat the bread anyways. ‍ Interior is small but serviceable. Everything was very clean and organized.

Good Greek food at a decent price. The Gyro deal has French fries inside. Maybe not authentic but dang good. Good authentic Moussaka and other dishes .

Thank you Penelope, Valerie and Sofia for the amazing service. They helped me order the Youvetsi and side salad. It was delicious

The food is always amazing! Authentic Greek food that you can't find at most places. Great portions and friendly staff!

Delicious!!! Super casual spot with very high quality food. HUGE portions and great selection. I have had a hard time finding Avgolemeno soup that matches up to my memories of childhood meals at Papadakis, and this is almost there. Love their Greek dressing, and their chicken gyro was super flavorful and moist. Will be back for sure

Authentic Greek food everything on the menu is amazing super friendly staff I recommend this restaurant to anyone in the area and not in the area

If you're on the hunt for delicious Greek fast food, look no further than "pita pitaki". This gem offers a mouthwatering selection of traditional Greek dishes, souvlaki and appetisers. , All served in generous portions at wallet-friendly prices.

Absolutely the best lunch special in Long Beach. Delicious and consistent every time, especially love the salad and generous crumbled feta.

Ordered pick up the last few times. Each time I had the gyro! So yummy! A bit different because they add French fries on the top which is actually tasty! Great service and ready when they said.

This place is a hidden gem in Long Beach! The food and service were fantastic! 5 stars! Everything we tried was delicious and well served. We will definitely be going back again soon!

I would give Pita Pitaki 10 stars if Yelp allowed it! This is our favorite restaurant. We go weekly with few exceptions. Christina, Popi, Valerie, Estefan, Chris, John & the cooking team are all great! If you haven't tried it yet, order some takeout.

Not sure why it took so long for us to check out Pita Pitaki. Technically, we briefly tried it once a year or two ago. We were snacky and stopped by for some dolmades. They were good dolmades. But that's all we had and it took us another year or two to finally revisit Pita Pitaki. Now that we've had a legit meal here, I think this might be a regular spot for us. In fact, that meal was so good that we came back 2 weeks later for another yummy dinner. That's how much we love this place! It was the Veggie Plate that sold me. It comes with 2 dolmades, tabouli, hummus, a veggie skewer (bell peppers, red onion, mushroom, tomato), and falafel. Let me tell you about their falafel...it might possibly be one of the best falafels I've ever had. The texture is different than other falafels I've had. The falafel here has this smoother texture on the inside. The way that it's fried feels lighter than what I'm used to so it doesn't have a crunchy hard shell. Just enough brown on the outside to satisfy the crisp. This plate also comes with pita but the staff was kind enough to inform me that it contains dairy. So they offered me their homemade bread instead and OMG, their homemade bread is totally worth the carby-carbs! It tastes like they toast it right on the grill and the flavor is addicting. Generous portions for a $14 plate. https://bit.ly/43u0675 Glad to have found a quick service go-to Mediterranean spot in the area. We predict frequent visits in our future :)

I have been on the hunt for a really good Mediterranean food for a while and finally decided to give this location a try. Highly recommend, I've gone back twice in the past month and I've tried their 1/2 Greek chicken and lamb gyro plate. I've also tried their side of feta fries and, I have been more than pleased with everything I've ordered thus far. They give you a ton of food, it's enough for two people almost, and the feta that they put on their fries is soooo fresh and they also give a lot compared to most restaurants I've tried. Definitely keeping this restaurant on my rotation for Greek food

I don't know why I've slept on this spot. For a long time, almost all of the Mediterranean spots that I've been to in Long Beach were acceptable (Panini Kabob, Green Olive, that doner place in LBX, George's, and Taboon, and I'm sure I'm missing others). But none of them slap like my 3 favorites: Open Sesame, Ammatoli, and King Mediterrano (in Torrance). So finally, we decided on Pita Pitaki because we keep seeing it and I kept hearing about it. We did go once but that was purely because I was on a dolma kick and Pita Pitaki did have good dolmas, but I really didn't want to write a review on one to-go item. This time, we made a conscious effort to dine in. Definitely a family-owned spot and casual. But man, the food was fantastic! Everything tasted fresh and the staff was helpful in making vegan substitutions as necessary on their dishes for my SO (their pita has milk powder, so ask for the homemade bread as a substitute). I ordered the dolmas because they were fantastic the last time I was here. The street fries though, are amazing! Just stacked and piled with toppings and fresh fries, you can't go wrong with it! This was big enough to be a meal in of itself. The gyro, probably drier than I like, was probably the only knock and it's not even enough of a knock to drive a point down. I'm so glad we found Pita Pitaki...it's now added to our rotation of regular spots (so far this list includes Thunderbolt Pizza, La Taqueria Brand, Lola's, MeeMa's, and Grilled Fraiche) as locals. We will be back!

Super cute restaurant!! Food was delicious and fresh, the service was really friendly and welcoming.

So good. Fair prices and fast service. A must try in the Long Beach area. Chicken is amazing.

We come to this spot alot and always slaps, pork gyro is amazing with the fries or greek potatoes.... Sometimes it's hard to make up my mind. Haven't had anything that we didn't like. Service is quick and attentive its a nice cozy place

i stopped by here based on a friend recommendation. the restaurant was very clean and inviting. i have seen this place millions of times patronizing surrounding businesses. the cashier Michael was very helpful. I ordered a 1/2 Greek Lemon Chicken. w/Potatoes to go. My order was up quickly. When i got home the order was perfect! the food is fresh, savory and filling and the prices are reasonable. I will be back.

This place is one of our new favorite places for Mediterranean food. The plates are delicious. I usually get the lamb gyro plate with potatoes, comes with salad, pita bread & creamy dill sauce. My husband orders a rotisserie chicken plate, it is soo tender. The food is fresh. We both love it here. Haven't tried anything else but we will definitely be back!

YUMMMMM!!! Went here today for the first time for a late lunch, ended up with dinner too! Generous portions! Beautiful and colorful display of food. Good quality. Very friendly and helpful staff. Restaurant clean and well maintained. Highly recommend!!!

The food is Always delicious and fresh! Every single time I've eaten here or picked up food it's always on point. Extremely friendly staff who operate like a well oiled machine. Will be back.

The food was freshly made and always delicious. We were a party of 5 and everyone had a great meal. The chicken skewers with their great salad and greek potatoes were delicious, all of our meals were. I recommended them highly. From the lamb to chicken, salad, soup, pastitsio, you can't go wrong.

Great food and great prices! Friendly service and I love that it's family owned. I usually order food to go so I've never sat down to eat but I always see a good amount of people enjoying themselves. Can't beat their chicken pita sandwiches or their baklava!

Food is fresh but chicken skewer had no flavor. Luna grill has tasty chicken. It was fresh chicken just cooked on grill but no true enhance taste you would expect. Maybe the chicken Gyro might be better

Very delicious and authentic food in generous portions at a reasonable price. A cute ambience and the Greek owners are there.

Delayed posts but this place doesn't disappoint. We've ordered take out several times and love it.

In my opinion still is one of the best Mediterranean eatery around LBC , As always delicious , fair prices , good service & plenty parking space

Yummy yummy!! This place is good. The pita bread was crispyy. I got the Kefeta sandwich and the fries on top were kinda the star of the show. I ate all of them before I started on the sandwich. The price is good for the meal. It was $11! Bathroom is clean and you need a key from the front. No baby changing station. The people were nice and were patient with me.

The food was good. Not overly salty. The young lady at the register was a doll. Since they sold wine by the glass I asked if I could try one before committing to a glass. The grumpy lady behind the counter told me she was not going to open an entire bottle so that I could taste before deciding. That set a bad tone for me. It would have been nicer if she mentioned I don't have reds open but if you would like to try a white I have those available. She did come back a couple of times to ask what wine I wanted since she had white open. At that point she has already ruined my experience. I am accustomed to the excellent treatment and courtesy we have always received from George's Greek. Her attitude does not make me want to return since there are so many other Greek options in the area. The interior is small. Not for groups. But cozy. The fans keep the air moving but also make for dirty seating. Our table was cleaned but not the bench. After wiping the bench I had a dirty napkin. They do have a few seats outside. There is a small and tight parking lot. Would be better for take out in my opinion.

Located in a small strip mall, with a variety of food to choose from, we definitely made the right choice for lunch. We had our dog and were hoping for outdoor seating and we were happy to see that there were three small tables avaliable outside. I immediately saw the lunch specials posted before I entered and chose the Lamb Gyro, which comes with a drink and side salad for $14. The gyro was delicious! The portions were filling and the gyro was filled with shaved lamb, onions, tomatoes, and tzatziki sauce. I also discovered a couple of seasoned fries inside which made me love this gyro even more. The side salad was so fresh, topped with cucumbers, onions, tomatoes, olives, bellpepper and a generous portion of feta. We also ordered the Chicken Kabob plate which comes with a choice of rice or fries, a side salad, and pita bread with Tzatziki. Portions were generous and included a skewer with vegetables. The chicken was cooked perfectly, but we were not a fan of the seasoning used. The pita bread was fluffy and so delicious! Overall, service was good, the food was delicious, and the portions were filling. We'll definitely be back to try more.
