Location: New Plymouth Store I have Coeliac Disease so finding somewhere I trust to eat from that won't gluten me or have issues with cross contamination from other gluten foods can be an extremely difficult task as many places just simply don't understand or assure you things are okay and you later discover this isn't the case. The New Plymouth Pita Pit staff are amazing and when I place my order saying the gluten free option they always ask if it is caution gluten or Coeliac. Once I tell them Coeliac they then pass this straight to the person that is cooking for instance the chicken for my order. They use a brand new piece of lunch wrap type paper and the chicken is cooked on top of that on the grill plate so there is no risk of the previous food cooked on the grill coming into contact with my chicken. The gluten free pita themselves are kept on a different shelf in a sealed container well away from the non gluten pitas so there is no risk of any crumbs or anything coming into contact with the gluten free pitas. At the order station there is a sticker that lists all the sauces you can add to the pitas if they are gluten free it clearly says so beside each one so there is no confusion as to what is and isn't. Also the printed menu and menu board on the wall clearly state beside each item what is and isn't gluten free so not having to question every menu option is really appreciated and doesn't make it a struggle to know what you can and can't have. I find the staff very pleasant and have often thanked them for having the gluten free option for me and the extreme care they take each time with my order! have watched them many times prepare my order and never have there been any need to worry bout cross contamination of gluten. The food is fresh and enjoyable and there is a great range not only gluten free but no gluten free pitas. You can purchase two different size pitas and then decide what meats, fillings and sauces you want to add to them as well as whether you want it fresh or toasted. The New Plymouth store has plenty of tables to sit down inside or out if you want to dine in or you have the option to takeaway. Pita Pit has a reward card system that you can sign up for which is free you then swipe your card each time you make a purchase to earn rewards towards future free items. |

Store: Rototuna, Hamilton I love Pita Pit and have been several times since discovering it about a year ago, it is always such a yummy and healthy takeaway option and it actually fills you up unlike some other fast food joints which still leave you feeling hungry afterwards. The Rototuna Pita Pit is in such a great location, situated on Thomas Road in the block of shops,it is only a few minutes drive up the road from my house, but even better it is in the same building complex as my partners parents house, which means we do get Pita Pit quite a lot. Pita has a great easy to use, guided step-by-step ordering system in place where you first choose the size of the pita you want, wither regular or petita and whether you want it plain or wholemeal (I think they also do gluten free pitas now to), or if your not wanting the pita itself there is an option to get it as a salad, this is also where you can pick out what meat you want. Once your pita has been selected you make your way over to the spreads and then to the salad bar which is always filled with such fresh produce such as lettuce, tomato, corn, olives, carrots, beetroot and pineapple, best of all you can choose as many or as few as you want and if you want more of an ingredient the staff are more than happy to do this for you, and with no extra cost (mind you the staff here are VERY generous with the toppings so it's not often that you need more). After selecting salads, there are arrange of cheeses and sauces available to finish off your pita. The pitas are wrapped in such a way that I can never do myself at home and then toasted or left fresh if you wish. As well as serving up pitas and salads, Pita Pit also has an arrange of cold drinks and smoothies available as well as Ma Higgins chocolate brownies and cookies, wedges and pita crisps which are made in store, we have brought these a few times and they are tasty, however the dip that comes with these in tiny and doesn't come near to being enough for using with the bagful of crisps sadly. There are options to create combos by adding drinks, wedges or pita crisps to any pita purchase. They also have mini pitas for children with 3 fillings of choice which Miss 3 just loves! Pita Pit is well worth trying especially if you after a healthy takeaway option, and with so many meats, cheeses and salads to choose from i'm sure there is to be a combination that you will love. I know I will definitely be returning to the Rototuna staff, and I love how friendly the staff always are. Most pitas range from $8 but I find they are well worth the price. |

Store: Henderson, Auckland Pita Pit opened outside my local mall just after New Years, 2013, and I have been going there since. We go there about once a week, so long as we have the funds and shall continue to go. The main thing that I love about this store is the staff, the couple who run it are really great and so friendly. They're always happy to see us and know us all by name now (and starting to remember our order off by heart -lol- ). They're even happy to, every now and then, charge us just for a pita on it's own, for my special needs daughter, who loves the pita. The food is always well done, we have only had a wrong order three times and that forgetting to put the Garlic and Herb seasoning on our meat. Any time the pita breaks to much when they are wrapping it, they get a new one so that you don't have to deal with a cascade of food upon your lap. A great store and great food. |

Store: Henderson, Auckland. I first went here not long after it had opened, so I have been going there for about five months now. The first thing that you will compare it to is Subway, and it is very similar. You pick what filling you want, my favourite is Chicken Ceaser (Chicken and Bacon), you then pick between plain or wholemeal pita and then a spread. Go down the line to pick what veges you want, they also have pineapple and beetroot. Then cheese, two sauces, salt and/or pepper and lastly if you want it grilled or fresh. What I like about this particular shop is the staff and the couple that run the shop. We have been often enough, and they care enough, that the owners now know me and my family by name, and all the staff always greet us with a big smile and hello and always say goodbye, no matter how busy the shop may be. The food always tastes great, is filling and just how I like it. The staff are fantastic and always has us feeling welcome and important. Pita Pit is now our favourite takeaway store. |
