New York Pita

The food came relatively quickly and tasted good. However the images would have you believe there was seating to dine in. There were no seats that you could eat on the bar counter tops. Other than standing to eat at the counters the food was not bad. It seems more of a to go place. The beef and lamb were good and flavorful not dry or too oily. The cauliflower side was really good. Very filling. The spinach pie was also different then others for the doughy texture but it wasn't bad at all.

Pita Press is our go to for the Family Meal sets for gatherings. The price and the quantity go a long way. The salads are always looking so fresh and the baklava is always a treat to eat. The pitas are delicious at Pita Press. Fluffy. Lightly seared. Gyro pitas. Not typical pitas pockets I buy in grocery stores, but gyro bread. Haloumi Cheese is the least descriptive item on the menu, but it comes with grilled zucchini, red bell peppers and tomato wedges. The sauce appears to be a balsamic vinaigrette reduction and pairs well with the fried cheese. This cheese has a mild flavor and a texture that squeaks between your teeth. I love the combo of sauce, grilled veggies and squeaky cheese so much, I will go out of my way to order just a side of this cheese and make it a meal for myself.

Today a friend and I tried Pita Press for the first time. I am no expert on Greek food by any means so this is just the opinion of someone who loves food! The staff was super friendly and kind. They took the time to explain some of the differences in the chicken dishes. I had the chicken souvlaki plate with the home cut fries. The chicken portion could have been a bit more generous 4-chunks but had the nice flavors from the grill. The fries were clearly handcut by the variety of shapes and we're good. The salad was my least favorite part and was a bit soggy. It was a bit pricey but def comparable to other lunch prices in the area. We will def be back though! Overall it was a winner!

Pita press is close to vacationing on a Greek island eating that nice juicy meat, or their gyros. I am glad its in the neighborhood. They food is very authentic, great flavors, lots of greens and proteins. Has option for vegans as well. I love their prasini salad with some grilled chicken souvlaki. It the perfect portion and size. Ive also order their family meals, and wow i had leftover for the next day. Portion feeds 4 people. Highly recommend this spot for takeout, when your fridge is low. Quality of food is on point! Update 12/22/21 i needed something that would give me energy and keep my tummy warm. I had the Greek fish soup. It was tasty, flavorful, and just the right amount. 5/5.

Their food is really delicious! We've tried the chicken and beef kebabs and I highly recommend it both!Food: 5/5

The cashier was super nice, good service and food is fresh and deliciousRecommended dishesChicken Souvlaki Plate

Delicious Greek food that feels like home cooked meals. We got the cod pita and vegetarian pita along with Greek Fries, favs beans, and cauliflower sides. All were super yummy and would recommend. I look forward to trying the smoothies and other items

Great food. I ordered the mixed grill 45$ for my whole family 4 people and we love it. Chicken souvlaki was flavourfull, lamb and beef was ok and the side potato great. The portion was so big and we give it to women on the street

This place saves me a trip to Astoria! Authentic dishes and on point flavors. Love that they have biftek for when I need a protein fix without lambie. Health hack: it’s all the flavor of a burger without the extra carbs of a bun, fat of cheese and bacon and sauces. Have gotten takeout twice since NY pause, both times food was hot and flavorful. Would like to try salad with biftek but Ritual app doesn’t give that option. Nice bench area next door to rest or eat your pita. I took mine home so I could add my extra sauces and herbs.

I ordered takeout and I ordered half rotisserie chicken with salad and hand cut fries comes with pita bread. Value: it will will feel you up but you'll pay least $11. Taste: Great taste and soft to your taste buds. It's not too salty or too bland just right. Portion size: Above average Staff: Helpful and friendly Location: Somewhat hidden. It can be tempting to go to Chipotle, Roti or Dos Toros. I will definitely return for more.
