Pita My Shawarma

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!!!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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 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

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!

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.

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.
