Pita Deli - a little treasure of an eatery

Pita Deli

Pita Deli is a wonderful place in Whitby, ON (on Thickson Road, just north of the 401). We used to call it "the big-assed pita place" because the pitas they serve you are enormous and very filling. We used to go into "meat comas" after eating them ... your body would slow your regular activities to a crawl just to focus on digesting all the food! But it is so yummy! After a while, I stopped ordering pitas with meat, and just asked for a pita filled with fatoosh (delicious herbed salad with crunchy pieces of sun-dried pita) and taziki. Marvellous!!!!

This place is family-owned, and the husband is a jovial kind of guy who throws in good-humoured insults and ribbing for free. People must not mind it, because this place is PACKED during lunch hour!!!

The family is originally from Lebanon; there are beautiful framed photos of Lebanon along the north wall of this restaurant.
