Pita Pit — Restaurant in Boise

DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY. This place is terrible. Every single experience I've had there was awful. I'm a nice person, I like giving people the benefit of the doubt. I like the food (when it's actually made well) so I keep coming back for some reason, giving them third and fourth and fifth chances to redeem themselves. I'm never mean in the store and always try to believe that they will be better the next time. It's closest to my house so it's my preferred location. But WOW. The people working here are SO rude. No matter when I have gone in. Anytime, everyone in here has the worst manners, facial expressions, and customer service skills of any food joint in Boise. I understand everyone has a bad day every once in awhile, I'm forgiving and keep giving them the benefit of the doubt. But seriously, every time I've gone in this has happened. Now, I could handle them being jerks every time, if they could comprehend how to make a sandwich. But not only do they not know how to smile or even seem approachable, they can't even handle the simple task of making some food. Seriously. Just let me go back there and make my own, I'll even let them take the credit for it. They are the worst. I get something very simple and yet every time they make it terribly. They either give me a whole half of an avocado (which is great) or they give me as much as a regular sized lemon slice (which is not so great, especially when I ask for more considering I paid over a buck for it, and they complain that I'll have to pay another dollar for more.) Not only that, but they shove the avocado in first, into the tiny corner area of the pita. So I have no avocado for 95% of my sandwich, and then just an entire mouth full of only avocado on the last bite. These people are such idiots. I would go home, open it up, and remake it myself, but doesn't that defeat the purpose of going somewhere to buy food? That's literally their entire job, and they SUCK at it. As soon as they start making my sandwich, they rip off the top part of the pita pocket "on accident" and just keep loading up food in this broken pita. I get 4 simple ingredients in my sandwich, that's it. And yet when I ask for more lettuce, they give me the rudest looks and put in just a few more pieces. By now I'm just peeved, wishing I could walk out and leave, but I've already paid so I have to stick it out. So then they go to wrap up my broken, awfully made pita sandwich, and everything falls apart. It's ridiculous. I love the food, but being a college student and paying 9 bucks for one small pita sandwich for lunch is already a huge stretch. I could justify it if the people were nice and the food was well made. But I've given this place enough chances. Everyone I know now knows about how awful they are (in more then one way). This place could be good, but those workers are going to ruin it. I'd give it negative 3 stars if I could, but unfortunately can't post unless I give them 1 positive star. Just know, that's incorrect.

Edit: It gets worse. I just went to eat my mess of a sandwich (only because I didn't feel like wasting 9 bucks) and found that the avocado wasn't ripe and the chicken either wasn't cooked all the way through, or they just cooked a big chunck of fat. The kind that hurts your tooth and you have to spit it out. Gross. Ugh. Take my advice and don't bother...

The first time I came here a couple months ago, it was awful. The place was a complete disaster, it was very dirty like the place hadn't been cleaned in months. The service was really not all that great. When I walked in the door, there was a man setting at the table watching TV, and a woman setting on a stool behind the counter playing on her phone, neither one of them greated me. I looked the menu over and decided on a chicken build your own, and OMG when I got down to the build station, I decided to pretty much make it a Caesar. Because the food containers looked like they hadn't been changed for months either. And the romaine needed to be filled So I went with that. Well they cooked it to fast, then slopped it together. I was very un happy it cost $9.00 and was under cooked and nasty. For that 0 star. Last month a co-worker talked me in to going again. Well this time, I was greated by Kyle he was very friendly and made a very good meal. He cooked the meet and his build table looked slot better. A few things needed changed though. The store was still nasty looked the same as before. So for this 2.5 star. Then a couple weeks ago I decided to give it another try, and to my surprise there was a new lady and she was cleaning when I came in she asked how I was doing and then took my order. She took her time and cooked the meat the right way, moved the meat over. And wow the build table was super clean everything was fresh and clean. She did the veggies and then went back to the grill and my pita was amazing very good. Then she told me have a wonderful day thanks for doing in and she hopes I enjoy my meal. For her and the clean build table get a 5 star. The store cleanness gets a 1 star. Last week I came back she was working again but this time with her daughter. Well they both went above and beyond, the food, and service were absolutely amazing. They were both cleaning when I got there, the store is starting to get cleaner. The Mom and daughter team Rock, wish y'all had a few more employee' that work as hard as these two lady's. So of course five star to the mom and daughter team and two and a half star to the...

Pita Pit for lunch today. Was downtown for some appointments and it was close so it was an easy lunch decision.

I have frequented this joint quite a few times but I wanted to do something different today. My go to is the falafel but I did check their menu board and the Athens chicken sounded like a winner. My husband ordered the Dagwood.

They were working on a huge order so it did take a minute for them to get to my order. I did try to get a soda but their soda machine was completely down. The gal was kind and replaced my fountain soda with a bottle soda.

I had to modify my husband's pita. I just added peppercinis to mine. Everything listed in my Greek grilled cheese sounded tasty. I honestly thought it was ordering the pita version of the Athens chicken but it turned out to be in quesadilla form. It was perfect amount for me. I would have liked it in pita form cause you can get more veggies shoved into the pita. This is only half the pita. It was loaded with cheese and chicken. I also had olives, spinach and tomatoes in it. The cheese was crusty and burnt on the edges. It had a great cheese pull. It was good! My husband did enjoy his Dagwood pita until he found pieces of onion and olives in it. He's not fond of the two so he stopped eating it half way through.

Pita pit is a quick and easy lunch. I like that they are by the university. We have stopped here before concerts to get a fast dinner. I'm always down for an easy meal...
