| - A previous reviewer described this franchise as the subway of pita sandwiches. What's the major, glaring difference? The food here tastes about ten times better.
It's not exactly cheap, as a pita tends to run anywhere from 6-8 bucks. You can do the extra meat or whatever if you're feeling extra hungry. Obvious bear says what? (What?!) This particular location largely caters to the UNLV crowd right across from the street and the workers appear to be students themselves. They've been polite and helpful everytime I stopped by-- making sure to answer questions and describe menu items that were unclear. Business seems modest here but I imagine they are getting by just fine during the rush hours.
The basic business model is this-- you pick the type of meat and then customize it in front of an assortment of chopped vegetables ala subway. I love that they offer a wheat pita, and alfalfa sprouts. Other choices include romaine lettuce, roasted tomatoes, cucumbers, and banana peppers. Among sauces you can opt for a tsatziki sauce (a good idea with chicken souvlaki), hummus, or various other sauces including chipotle mayo, ranch etc. Among cheese options, they wisely include feta and pepper jack.
The local special is barbecued chicken, grilled with jalapenos and onions. It went well with chipotle mayo and green peppers.
I've also tried the chicken souvlaki, and I thoroughly enjoyed the grilled steak. Depending on how much, or what sort of sauces you choose to add to your creation, you can leave with something that is pretty darn healthy for fast food and doesn't taste half bad. If you are at all conscious about what sort of foods you eat, you'll find this place to be a refreshing choice.
