Pita Pit — Restaurant in St. John's

This place makes the best pitas. I love, love them!

Having said that I want to tell a story. A few days ago I was eating my pita, which was wonderful, when I created a mess. I have a broken left arm and hand so I was trying to manoeuvre with my right, my less dominant one. I went to washroom to clean up. Next day, at home, I realize I did not have my wedding ring. I was wearing it on the right hand and it was loose.☹️ I looked everywhere at home for it and gave up on it. My husband said he saw it on my hand at Pita pit. I called thinking it was hopeless and the ring was gone out with the trash! Boy was I wrong. Soon as I called they informed me one of the staff found it. Wow! I was happy and amazed at the same time. Kudos to all the wonderful staff. You guys rock!!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!

I will be back when my arm and hand are...

Learn some efficiency and customer service. Pay first for a menu option in the interest of efficiency. Then, get hounded by a lady in her 50s assembling wraps about where in line I'm supposed to be because they don't use a ticket system like any other restaurant. Cranky lady doesn't know what's supposed to go in the menu option wrap and there's only 4 preset options to learn. Eventually, I get my $20 wrap, after dictating basically every step of assembling a wrap to an ornery lady. No smoothies available, so had to get a sugary bottled drink. This is why people don't want to go to sandwich shops: I can assemble a sandwich for significantly cheaper and faster with less of the grief. Only went here because I had to fly in for work and there's no other "healthy" food options...

I visited there last night just as the staff person was locking the door. As I turned to walk away, she opened the door and said, "I don't mind serving you". I was surprised and told her I'd appreciate that as I was anticipating a takeout from there for my late supper. The staff person, named Lesley, was polite and unrushed even though she was just about to close and my order caused her another 7-8 minutes of time. What a delight and to be honest, it challenged my often negative work ethic of so many of our young people. Thank you, Lesley, Pita Pit is lucky...
