How to Order a Pita at Greco

If you’ve ever walked into Greco Truly Greek and felt overwhelmed (in the best way) by the smell of grilled meat, warm pita, and fresh herbs—you’re not alone. Greco is one of those places where everything looks delicious, but knowing how to build your pita can make all the difference. Here’s your simple guide to ordering a pita at Greco like a local.

Step 1: Choose Your Protein & Sauce

First up: what’s going inside your pita? Here are your main protein choices:

  • Pork Gyro
  • Chicken Gyro
  • Lamb Gyro
  • Beef ‘Bifteki’
  • Halloumi Cheese
  • Zucchini Fritter
  • Pea Protein Kebab

Then it’s time to pick your sauce: tzatziki, spicy feta, honey mustard, lemon chive yogurt, charred eggplant, or garlic skordalia.

Step 2: Pick Your Toppings

Greco’s signature pitas come with traditional Greek toppings, but you can always customize them. The usual suspects include:

  • Tzatziki – classic cucumber-garlic yogurt sauce
  • Tomato
  • Onion
  • Hand-cut fries (yes, inside the pita—this is the Greek way!)

You can ask to go “traditional” or build your own by mixing sauces and toppings. If you’re unsure, ask the staff—they’ll steer you in the right direction.

Step 3: Make It a Combo (Optional but Worth It)

You can upgrade your pita with:

  • Avgolemono Soup – traditional Greek egg-lemon soup
  • Greco Fries – feta and oregano
  • Lemon Rice Pilaf
  • Mixed Beans – chickpeas, red and black beans, parsley, olive oil
  • Lentils – lentils, bell peppers, cucumber, fresh herbs
  • Pita and Dip 
  • Zucchini Chips – served with tzatziki
  • Halloumi – served with hot honey
  • Greek Salad – tomatoes, cucumbers, red onion, kalamata olives, dried oregano, feta cheese, olive oil vinaigrette

Perfect for lunch or an easy dinner.

Step 4: Grab and Go (or Stay a While)

Greco is a fast-casual restaurant, so you can order to go, eat at the counter, or grab a seat outside if the weather’s nice, depending on the location. The service is quick, but the food is made fresh, so don’t be surprised if your pita comes out steaming hot and dripping with goodness.

Bonus Tip: Try the Loukoumades

If you’ve got room, order the loukoumades for dessert—Greek-style honey donuts, warm and crispy, sometimes topped with Nutella, nuts, or ice cream.
