Reviews
This is a no frills restaurant. No cotton table cloth, no fancy decorations or lighting. You walk to the counter order from the menu, grab a drink from the cooler, pay, and pick a table.
Service is great! Staff was helpful.
Then the magic happens. My food was presented at the table, and condiments brought.
Now, the real reason I picked this restaurant. The food looked amazing, smelled so good, and tasted truly great.
I got exactly what I came for, a really good meal! Never have I been disappointed. Come and see for yourself.
I am from Houston, TX but I was told to visit. I never got the chance to take pictures because after blessing the food it was about gone. I ordered fried mushrooms and gyro fries with white cheese, olives and chopped tomatoes 10/10. The service from the gentleman in the front was friendly and very pleasantly calm demeanor. It is not a very big establishment but there also was not a lot of ppl. Great place to come do game night and eat, quiet mellow music and vibes. It was filling so I took my fries to go and they actually tasted good the next day! 😋 I will definitely be back. I appreciate the awesome flavors and hospitality. Maybe next time I can get pictures. 😆
Usually the food is great, but someone dropped the ball today. I ordered a gyro, my daughter ordered a pizza, which they told us would be 15 minutes. They brought it all out together. I can only guess that someone made made sandwich and then left it sitting on the counter while the pizza cooked because my sandwich was luke warm all the way through as were the French fries. I've had food still be warmer than this when I got it home 30 minutes away.
I love this place. Great food, great staff, reasonable prices. Everything I've tried has been delicious, and I was astonished at how amazing their hot wings were too - possibly the best I've EVER had, and that's saying something. Keep up the awesome work!
Ordered two gyros over the phone with extra meat and extra tzatziki sauce. The total was $37.43 which was what I was told when I walked in to pick it up. I've ordered food from Pita Alley and have set in the restaurant to eat many different times, but this time, the price was way too high without sides or a drink. The manager was really nice when I spoke to him and told him, there wasn't enough food provided for the price paid. I won't be eating there again, it wasn't worth it to me.
Very disappointing! We used to love this place but things have changed. Firstly, a huge amount of trash is created here each day. Everything is served on disposable dishes (plastic, Styrofoam, aluminum). You can’t even get a glass of water unless you want it in a plastic bottle. There is no place to recycle either. Secondly, The atmosphere has never been great but the food made up for it. However, our food today was not good at all; the rice was cold and dry, the falafels bland, and the baba ghanoush was the worst I’ve ever had. I actually feel like I wasted my money.
The quality has definitely plummeted. We will not be returning.
Pita Alley is one of our favorite places! The food and the staff are always perfect! I cannot recommend their delicious food enough. I could never have a single bad thing to say about this place.
The food is pretty good but pretty overpriced for what you get. And when I say pretty good I don’t mean gourmet stuff. I mean when you eat it you say this is good. Just not great or outstanding. If it was cheaper I’d give 5 stars. But it’s just so expensive for what you get.
