Review from Meena A.
5/25/2012 1 Check-in Here
4 days in a row I have ate here.
Conveniently located on Bloor W and Spadina right outside Spadina station.
This place is a godsend.
Don't plan to eat here though. In terms of seating, they only have one long counter beside the window and it seats 4 at best. I usually sit under the trees at Bloor and Spadina behind the Hot Dog stand guy.
I like their Chicken pita best but everything else is fine too. The staff are nice and efficient. Also, how is it possible that I can have an entire filling meal in under $5?
Far more delicious and fresh than any other Pita place I have ever been too. This is my new favorite spot. -

This location is super busy (right across from U of T) and understaffed, but if you know Pita Pit, all that doesn't matter because of their Pitas.
I had to wait a little while for my food, but the woman behind the counter was doing the best she could to help every one and was very nice. I always go here when I feel like a cheap, healthy, quick, and cheap lunch that reminds me of undergrad. -

Undergrad Nostalgia.
Way back in the day, the Pita Pit used to be the after-bar stop for those McMaster students fortunate enough to live on the west side of campus (the aptly-named Westdale neighbourhood). I stopped into the U of T location that I can only imagine serves the same purpose for a new generation of drunken twenty-somethings one metropolis over.
I wasn't sure what to expect walking in for stop ten on my birthday bender at about five on a Saturday afternoon, but I was hungry and there it was. Had the Chicken Caesar pita; the chicken was grilled fresh and the toppings were cool and crisp. I was well-served by the lone pita-man, but then I was the only one in there, so he was hardly as overwhelmed as I remember the Hamilton location being at 3:30AM.
My one regret is my flavour selection. This is a delicious, garlicky pita, but it bites back for hours. I'm pretty sure my friends didn't appreciate Caesar's return later in the evening when the effervescence of my beer blended with what had not yet been digested to deliver a unique form of aromatherapy every time I burped.Listed in: Epic Birthday Bender

Harkening back to my university days, I had a craving for a late night pita, post drinking. A quick detour on my bike up Spadina and along College brought me to Pita Pit, though not one I've ever been to. (I went to Ryerson so frequented the Gerrard St Pita Pit)
The purveyor of pitas was a friendly, innocent looking girl, however it quickly became apparent that she knew nothing of the pita business. I don't blame her however as this is an obvious lack of training by management.
I got my classic choice of a Chick Crave pita: grilled chicken and ham with melted swiss. I also got sauteed mushrooms and onions which makes for a delicious combo. Unfortunately however I had to instruct on the whole sauteing process, and asking for the swiss to be melted over the chicken was completely out of the question.
Nonetheless, this combo of ingredients should provide a tasty snack once rolled into one delicious bread based receptacle. Unfortunately putting the ingredients into the pita seemed beyond the ability of this poor woman and it ended up completely broken apart. I biked home and had to eat it with a fork and knife. I will say though that, aside from the superfluous iceberg lettuce, most bites tasted delicious. It just takes the fun out of a late night hankering when it has to be shoveled in piece by piece with a fork.
I may just have to bike back to Ryerson some night to finally satisfy my craving that still remains. -

Okay fine I lied. I came back here today.
It seems the less lunch I make the more dillema there is about where to eat everyday. Finding rather healthy cheap fast food around UofT is a challenge in itself but I realized that Pita Pit is probably one of your best bets (sadly).
For $6.50 I got a whole wheat pita stuffed with healthy vegetables and chicken breast, al-beit it was about half a chicken breast worth. Their veggies aren't really as fresh as I'd like (you could see them becoming soggy and discolouring). But what's a student to do when he doesn't want Ken Ho's for lunch everyday!
*Ken Ho refers to the chinese food truck that lurks outside of the engineering buildings at UofT waiting for oncoming students to attack with its heart-attack inducing food.Listed in: The UofT Student / Resident
