| - I'm not sure where the address comes from. This place is on Normal (it's in the Memorial Union).
Anyway, I come here relatively often when I'm on campus, and I have to say that I quite enjoy the place. The food is all relatively fresh, there is a broad menu selection, and tons of fillings to choose from!
I almost always go for the $5 combo. It's a regular veggie pita, pita chips, and a drink. Fill that sucker up with veggies, hummus, garbanzo beans, peppers, and toss on a dressing (maybe a bit of italian), and you've got a tasty, health, quick, and cheap meal. It beats the hell out of the Taco Bell around the corner on freshness and nutrition. Taco Bell may win on price, but this place wins on value (since you're, you know, getting food and what not instead of, well, Taco Bell).
If you're not going the $5 veggie route, it loses a bit of it's appeal since a lot of the other stuff can get up there in price. I've tried other things, though, and they've all been good so far. The meat, when I get it, is usually very fresh (they grill it right there).
Oh, and I know this is weird, but I like their packaging. The pita's are wrapped in a handy two-piece wrapper. You tear the top 2/3 off and are left with the bottom as a nice handle. It's very neat and clean, especially when you get something liquid in there (like a dressing). It also makes it easily to walk with it if you're in a real hurry.
All in all, not a bad choice on-campus. It's a good meal at a good price, and way healthier than pizza or burgers. Don't make a trip to the Tempe Campus for it, but if you need something while you're already there, you can't go wrong at the unfortunately named Extreme Pita.
