Finally got by here and it didn't disappoint! I had the falafel wrap with a side Greek salad and then got some stuffed grape leaves to go. The wait staff was quick and friendly and the food was as good as I had been told. I will definitely be back!Vegetarian options: From the vegetarian stuffed grape leaves to vegetarian friendly wraps, salads and other entrees, they have plenty of options!Parking: Parking may fill up at peak times but I was there in the middle of lunch and found a space immediately.
Recommended from a local. Amazing food. I had the gyro platter it was amazing. Very flavorful. The tzatziki sauce was so delicious. You can tell the food was fresh. The waitress was super friendly and chill. Good came out pretty quickly which was awesome bc I was starving. Can’t wait to return so I can come back to this place.

Is it the nicest looking place? Not really. Is it the best Mediterranean you’ll have? More than likely. Affordable and insanely good. We got the Copy Cat Wrap with a side of fries and a chicken burger with a salad and both blew our minds. The waitress was kind and funny. This place is a hidden gem that should be visited more

Automatic deduction for credit card service fee. They try to pose it as "cash discount" but this is a tax deductible business expense being passed on to customers. Will not return due to this alone. Food was fast and good, service was efficient. Parking was a bit tight, not enough spaces.

I live over an hour away. Had an appointment in Columbia and was looking for a bite before driving home. Food was great, and everyone in the place seemed to be regulars. People knew the staff and the main cashier/server was very sweet with everyone. I got there around 230p and they close at 3pI wasn't rushed, and will definitely be back when I'm in the area.

The most outstanding mediterrainian food in Cola. There are others that are good, but pitas takes it over the top. The presentation, the attention to detail, and the overall quality of the dish. I am so happy to have them in our community!
This was our first time at Pita's and my wife and I both enjoyed our meals. The lunch portion for both platters was plenty of food for the price and everything was delicious. Friendly and fast service. We will definitely be back!
Added response to owners' comments:1. Everything I described was my impressions. I have no knowledge of the kitchen processes and that makes no difference. The food bordered on inedible. I was able to eat it which is the only reason I did not give this zero stars.2. The abundant seating does not take away from the fact that the dining room is dismal. Get some new booths and tables at the very least.3. "Dinning room" might actually describe the dining room's environment, as others have complained about the noise level, but I suspect this is a misspelling.4. The pita bread was scarce and not fresh. A pita oven is not a requirement for decent pita bread. My impression is that it is not very good to start with and was reheated after being in the kitchen for some time. Chewy and dry.5. French fries are not French. Crinkle cut is mostly an American thing. I have had better out of the freezer section of the supermarket.6. A broth holding tank will not lead to moist chicken. The salt in the broth will dehydrate the chicken. Chicken usually is dry when the proteins coagulate and encapsulate the natural oils and moisture, in short when it is overcooked by heat and/or brining. Try switching to a no salt broth for starters, if you really need to hold it.7. The server was fine which is why she got a 20% tip. The service includes greeting, seating, etc. We got "sit wherever you want" grunted at us. Not a nice greet and seat.8. I mostly don't bother with 2 to 4 star reviews. So, of course, about half my reviews will be 1 star. I like to warn people away from certain restaurants with personal gastronomic impressions, and I like to lead people to other restaurants with personal gastronomic impressions. Not much sense in telling patrons that a restaurant is mediocre but acceptable.9. Your restaurant shows a distinct need for improvement. Your attitude is off kilter. You should consider a negative review as a blessing.Original review : I cannot imagine a worse Mediterranean meal. I had the falafel platter. This included 8 pieces of charred and burnt falafel that tasted like it was made from a box mix. It had four meager pieces of pita which reminded me of very stale store bought pita bread. The pita did not even seem to be heated up or toasted, just straight out of a plastic bag. The bulk of the salad was sliced domestic cucumber. They couldn't be bothered to find Persian cukes. It was said to have Lebonese pickle. The pickle was not Lebonese. It tasted like store bought garlic dill pickle, specifically much like a Clausen kosher dill pickle. I picked at the salad to find anything remotely Mediterranean or Middle Eastern without success. The hummus was bland and grainy. Grainy hummus is common from a lack of rehydration of box mix ingredients. Moving on to my wife's chicken platter. This had breast meat chicken pieces that must have been reheated from much earlier in the day. Dry as a bone. Not tasty. The salad was similar to mine except for the addition of a few crumbs of feta cheese. Her platter included crinkle cut french fries that were cold, mushy, and very American. In all, a very disappointing dinner of leftovers from earlier in the day that were poorly kept, poorly reheated, poorly prepared to begin with. My last complaint is the environment. We tried to sit at two different booths but the tables were too large so not enough room. We ended up in a booth with more room but the seats seemed to have no padding. Dismal dining room.
