Oh my gosh, I love Crazy Pita and I frequent all three of the locations in town. This is truly a local business, with a trio of locations owned by one guy. All three have their strengths and weaknesses, but all three serve absolutely delicious food.
If you're looking for healthy eats, this is your place. Sure, you can get a plate of french fries if you must, but the grilled skewers, Mediterranean vegetables, hummus with olive oil, Greek salad, and fluffy couscous are good for your body! My go-to here is the mixed skewer plate ($15) with chicken and shrimp. The plate comes with a hearty skewer of grilled chicken breast, a skewer of grilled shrimp, couscous with tasty veggies (including squash and zucchini), an amazing feta salad (topped with olives, chopped tomatoes, cucumbers, and feta), and a little side of hummus with pita bread (white or whole wheat).
The portions may be hearty but the prices certainly are hefty. I like to eat here before or after a movie and dinner for two with sodas runs a little over $40.00 with tax. That's almost as much as eating at a sit-down full service restaurant!
But as the old adage goes, you get what you pay for, and the food is seriously top notch. Quality ingredients make for a happy tummy. I've also noticed that the employees at all the locations are a cut above most fast food workers. Think In-N-Out quality employees.
There are a couple of minor negatives, however. First, let's talk about the hummus. I know Crazy Pita probably has wants to have dumbed-down hummus that appeals to non adventurous eaters, but their version is pretty lame. It's also so watery and thin that it doesn't even taste like or resemble traditional hummus (I want thick hummus topped with olive oil)! They do provide a communal olive oil container by the soda machine, but it's low quality oil, or at least it tastes like it. Second, I really, really hate how when you place an order at the register and pay via credit card, the system automatically prompts you to add a tip. A tip? For what?! I despise how so many places are guilt tripping customers into tacking on 20% or more to reward a person for simply doing their job. I have to tip someone taking an order? No thanks.
Overall Crazy Pita is the tops. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Yes, it's expensive and can get pricey really quickly (if you order soda or sides). But give it a try, I know...
Read moreI was born and raised in Las Vegas and was there for the grand opening of the very first Crazy Pita and I’ve been hooked ever since. There couldn’t be a nicer owner either. Mehdi (I hope I spelled that right) is amazing, friendly and truly cares about the quality of food his restaurants serve. Not only is the food incredibly delicious the people who work there from kitchen to the front are outstanding! If you like Mediterranean food, you will love Crazy Pita! My favorites are the vegetarian pita the chicken and steak skewers are so tender and flavorful the couscous has butternut squash and veggies the baba and hummus are outstanding and I love the Mediterranean salad even the feta cheese they use and the Greek salad dressings are tangy and robust making the flavors spark joy on the palate! The atmosphere is casual fun and trendy and good for family dining and don’t get me started on the catering! I love this place so much I highly recommend it. I’m even considering buying a franchise to open up my own location! There’s a wide variety of options to choose from even for the pescatarian, vegan, and vegetarian. They have shrimp and salmon they even have lamb so whatever you’re craving I guarantee in my opinion that you’ll be pleased! Check it out and let me know what you think! I forgot to mention the unforgettable crisp delicious French fries that have a unique and fresh taste and incomparable flavor! Thank you for all of the amazing meals that I have enjoyed at your establishment over the many years you’ve been in business! Your food has brought me comfort and joy. I wish you many more years of success! I’m already looking forward to the next time I get to eat...
Read moreThis was such a good place. 2 hours later I'm still full. I was so hungry I got to take a picture. I had a rice bowl thing and it came with a kind of yellow rice which was amazing. It also came with this hummus that was pretty good as well. On the side it had like this cucumber and pickle mix that was reaaaaaally good.also I got the steak typed meal so it came with steak and it wasn't like cheapy tasting steak either. It was really juicy. Cooked perfectly for most people. Personally, I prefer my steak rare or blue rare but this was cooked all the way through. Not well done. Just want to make that clear, but cooked and amazingly juicy. My dad got the same thing but he got chicken instead of steak. I didn't try it but he enjoyed it. We also got these pita bread things to share. They were good. Triangle and medium small sized. They weren't stale either like some places. Over all I was surprised at how good everything was. The inside could be a little nicer for how good of a place it is but I won't knock any stars for that. It looks more like a fast food place inside and don't get me wrong, the food was fast. But it was just really yummy. Also they have one of those soda machines where you can pick from like a million sodas. They also had lemonade and pink lemonade. Would be super cool if they put fresh fruit in those and maybe got...
