Pizza Pita Prime — Restaurant in Côte Saint-Luc

If you take a pita, and spread sauce and cheese on it do you call it a “Pizza Pita” or a “Pita Pizza”. On the one hand you might think it’s a “Pita Pizza”, since after all when you substitute pizza dough with matzah you call it “Matzah Pizza”; but on the other hand if you substitute pizza dough with a bagel, you call it a “Pizza Bagel”. There are two seemingly conflicting views on the naming scheme of “pizza” dishes.

Approach A) You name it based on what sounds better, pita pizza sounds better and therefore it would be pita pizza.

Approach B) Pizza = Bread Sauce and Cheese | Pita = When something is spread on a pizza.

Bowl of chummus is a chummus dish because it is not spread on a pita, Stuffed pita dish is not a pita dish because the pita acts as a mere carrying utensil. Rather something spread on the pita becomes the pita dish.

Therefore pita with sauce and cheese spread on it is both Pita and Pizza, it is impossible to use this argument, saying “this is really pizza” or “this is really pita”, because you will go in circles.

Approach C) The important part of the pizza is the bread, therefore in order to name this you revert to how one would name a dish made with such a bread. Example: tuna bagel, matzah brei; these two are key examples; pizza bagel is called such because the bagel is the most important part of a bagel dish, therefore the bagel names goes at the end (Cream cheese bagel, tuna bagel, pizza bagel, cream cheese and lox bagel). Matzah on the other hand is a substitute bread: you want French toast, you can’t have it, you make matzah brei; you want pizza, you can’t have it, you make matzah pizza. In naming a pita dish the pita name comes second, as pita is an important part of the dish, therefore in a pita dish the name comes second. Pizza Pita.

My opinion: In naming a dish you want to give it a name that best describes it, although pita pizza is easier to say, pizza pita best describes it.

Mayhem. If could sum up my experience in one word it would be mayhem. I came for lunch and left feeling like I just went to war. My experience began when I had a craving for pizza and looked this place up on google. Upon entering I was met with a torrent of about 30 people packed into a small ordering room. I placed an order for a chicken burger and poutine, an order that I though would be pretty straight forward and easy to fulfill. After paying I was directed to wait over by the ice cream station. After waiting for about 15 minutes, I figured something was wrong and was told that I in fact had to direct them how to make my sandwich, something that I had not been told. I then waited longer to finally have my turn to have my sandwich made after which I was directed to talk to "the ice cream lady" for my poutine. This lady of course had no idea what I was talking about when I asked for poutine at an ice cream station and left to the kitchen to prepare my poutine. Having finally received my whole order after about 45 minutes I left to eat my mediocre, over priced lunch. Any 5 star review you read from this place must be from members of a cult whose sole purpose in life is to promote this sorry excuse for a pizza place. Other than their pizza and burgers they also offer dishes like sushi for some reason though I would highly recommend against ordering them purely based on how they seem to barely be able to execute the dish their restaurant is named after. They also have a fridge which is stocked with ice cream sandwiches that will cost you a days salary for a single box. Everything seriously overpriced, please stay away for your own good, you have been warned. Was quite the...

Where do I start? When giving out my order the lady did zero effort to explain the menu when asked about their subs. Zero eye contact, you'd have the impression you are talking to yourself. I said maybe she had a bad day, it is ok not a big deal. Then at the sub station, it was so slow, it took him 17-20min to make 2 subs! By the time he finished the second, the first was ice cold. He had no idea what sauces he has and didn't know what my order items were (French fries, onion rings drinks etc). The food wasn't tasty. I ordered a 'Shawarma sub' you call that Shawarma? I am betting one day someone will take you to court for false advertisement. The fries where soggy and didn't taste good, I mean how can you go wrong with french fries?! The onion rings were nice and tasty, but you get 8 rings for 4.5$+. But hey you can't go wrong with a coke! PS: Si vous parlez juste le français, ce n'est pas un restaurant que vous voudriez visiter. J'ai voulu placer ma commande en français mais j'ai eu de la misère à comprendre et me faire...
