Pita BBQ began as a humble family-run spot in the late 1990s, founded by brothers Samir and Kareem in a small corner shop. Their goal was simple—bring the rich, smoky flavors of Middle Eastern barbecue to the local community. Word quickly spread, and within a few short years, Pita BBQ expanded into multiple locations, each carrying the same warmth and authenticity that made the original so beloved. As the restaurant grew, so did its menu, introducing creative twists on traditional barbecue while keeping its heart rooted in time-tested recipes.
Today, Pita BBQ is best known for its flavorful lineup of grilled meats, fresh pita wraps, and vibrant sides—but what many don’t know is that a secret menu exists, packed with unique off-the-menu favorites cherished by longtime fans. Still, the restaurant’s original signature shawarma plate continues to be the star, proving that classics never fade.
