How to Build the Perfect Greek Order (and Earn Points Doing It)

The perfect Greek order is about exploring bold flavors, fresh ingredients, and authentic Greek recipes, and at Greco, we make it easy for every guest to create their ideal meal. Whether you’re savoring a pita stuffed with tender meat or loading your plate with classic sides like tzatziki, there’s something for every craving. For those in Greater Boston and Washington, D.C., this guide will show you how to build your ultimate Greek food experience while earning rewards along the way. From pitas to salads, we’re here to help you craft your perfect order.

What to Order if You Love Pitas

A pita is more than just a wrap–it’s the heart of an authentic Greek meal. At Greco, we serve warm, fluffy pitas filled with some of the freshest options you’ll find.

  • Pick Your Protein: From juicy pork gyros to grilled chicken or spiced bifteki, you can choose whatever suits your taste. Each protein is marinated with traditional Greek seasonings to deliver bold, savory bites.
  • Add a Sauce: Enhance your pita with classic Greek spreads like tzatziki (a creamy yogurt-and-cucumber staple) or hummus for a nutty, smooth finish.
  • Pile On the Extras: Complete your pita with fresh additions like tomatoes, onions, and fries for the perfect combination of texture and flavor.

Pair your pita with one of our sides, and you’ve got a meal that delivers on every level.

Build a Flavorful Plate Meal

If you prefer meals, you can savor bite by bite; a plate is your go-to option. Plates combine all the best components of Greek cuisine in one beautiful presentation.

  • Choose Your Base: Choose rice, salad, and/or fries to start your plate. Each base offers a unique twist to your meal, from light and crisp to savory and hearty.
  • Customize with Protein: Whether you go for tender lamb souvlakis or a vegetarian-friendly option like squash fritters, the flavor is always authentic.
  • Round It Out: Plates come with plenty of fresh toppings, spread options, and extras, so you can customize everything to your liking.

Plates are great for anyone who wants a little bit of everything, while still enjoying that perfect balance of protein, vegetables, and carbs.

If You’re Craving Salads, Try These Options

Greek salads are vibrant, fresh, and packed with wholesome ingredients. They’re a fantastic lighter option that doesn’t compromise on flavor.

At Greco, our salad menu includes favorites like the lemon chicken and rice salad with romaine, lemon rice pilaf, tomato, pickled red onion, lemon-dill beans, crumbled feta, olive oil vinaigrette, tzatziki, and chicken souvlaki. Another crowd pleaser is our classic Greek Salad, with tomato, cucumber, red onion, olives, crumbled feta, olive oil, red wine vinegar, tzatziki, and chicken gyro. Pair your salad with a side of zucchini crisps or a cup of avgolemono soup for a satisfying combination.

Don’t Forget the Sides

Sides, or “meze,” are essential to creating a complete Greek meal. Add one or two to take your order to the next level.

  • Greek Fries: Crispy, golden fries dusted with sea salt and herbs, paired with a dip of your choice.
  • Spanakopita: A flaky pastry stuffed with spinach and feta that’s perfect for sharing or savoring on your own.
  • Dolmadakia: Stuffed grape leaves make an excellent complement to any meal.

These small plates are perfect for rounding out your meal with traditional flavors that pack a punch.
