Pitaville Mediterranean Grill

Man, do I wish I lived closer to this place. You know that you have it right when the place is packed with mediterranean customers for dinner. It is simple and delicious. I always go for the chicken kabob plate and a side of hummus.

Good food at a good price with the quickness! Give it a shot you will not be disappointed! Try the Shawarma it’s delicious!

Good Mediterranean fast food! Not fancy, just a good food strip mall joint. Will go back for sure!

I was on my way home and had a sudden craving for some falafel. Since there wasn’t a Naf Naf on my route home, I decided on Pitaville. I’m glad I did!
I went with the chicken schwarma wrap and a side of falafel (6 falafel per order, so it’s big enough for two people to split) They make the food fresh, so it took about 15 – 20 minutes for my order. When it came out though, it was piping hot. The flavor of the wrap itself was mild, but once I added a little bit of the red/​hot sauce they provided, it was bursting with flavor. I thought that the falafel were some of the best I’ve tried.
They have a huge menu so it was tough to decide on my first trip what to order. I look forward to coming back and trying more of the menu.

This place has the best veg platter. The owner is a very nice guy. We have been going there for 2 years now. I always order same veg special and Meat special with only chicken. The sauces are delicious. No more driving 35 miles to PitaInn Skokie and this place is much better than naf naf grill.

If you are the person who likes Mediterranean food then you must try this place. I was so happy when I found them in neighborhood as A Mediterranean restaurant other than Naf Naf Grill. Price wise better than Naf Naf Grill, for sure. Rast is great. I got «Dinner Meat Combo» and it was a huge meal. Rice, salad, humus, falafel comes with chicken shawarma, grilled chicken and grilled beef. It was hard to finish that plate tho :) Also you can buy yogurt drink, baklava etc some other Mediterranean foods.

Excellent food.
The lamb kafta was delicious. Service was reasonably quick. The meat feast was also a good way to try a lot of things.
I would definitely come here again.

I went to PitaVille yesterday. It was absolutely fabulous! I will definitely be going back! It’s definitely worth the drive for me! I had the veggie sampler. It was awesome! I also had the yogurt salad which was very good! The owner was very nice and explained everything! Great place!

This was my first time there, I was with a group of about 10 people. Everything was delicious. We all tried different menu items and there was so much variety to choose. I was very pleased with the quality and cleanliness of the restaurant as well. I will recommend to everyone to definitely try it out! Prices were are very reasonable and portions are very generous.

The food was really good. I personally feel that it is more «Americanized» Mediterranean food, however it is certainly very tasty.

Syo]ed here after vball. Pretty good. Huge porti I ns and pics don’t do it justice. Would have given 5 stars but the lentle soup was a little thin. Was good though. Everything else was great.

Small place for falafel, wraps and shawarmas in a strip mall. My husband and I both ordered the shawarma pita wraps. The meat was full of flavor and tasty. However, the pita was very thin and then they put it in a panini press and grilled the filled wrap. I would prefer a normal pita that is soft and not grilled until it’s crunchy. I couldn’t eat it like a sandwich as it was so well done that the pita crumbled and I needed a fork. It was very unusual in my opinion. It’s probably not a place I will come back to.

I’m pretty sure their gyro pita wrap is made from the frozen boxed gyro meat you can purchase at any middle eastern grocery store. The food here is not authentic, tastes bland, and is just not worth it. Will not be returning, what a disappointment.

This place is so so. Drive by here so many times, so finally stopped by today to see how it was. The food we tried were falafel wrap, beef/​chicken shawarma and gyros wrap. The falafel wrap was dry, beef sharwama did not have much taste. Chicken sharwama and gyros wrap was the only ones that had taste. The price is reasonable with quantity of the food, which is fine with me. Another good point when you dine in, you get 2 Sauces, to put on your food, which are good. I might go back to try the entrees.

I wandered into this restaurant because I wanted a quick dinner and had noticed the four star rating on Unilocal.I walked into a familiar feeling Mediterranean restaurant that stood out immediately to me due to its aesthetics: it had a well-​kept dining area with a tall cobble stone wall surrounding the open kitchen and graphically pleasant menu board at the front. I ordered a beef shawarma wrap with hummus and a six piece falafel on the side totaling a little over ten dollars. The man taking my order told me my order would be ready in ten minutes and indeed after ten minutes of listening to the electrifying sizzling of the griddle and the exhilarating bubbling of the fryer, my meal was ready to devour.
The first thing I noticed about my plate was that everything was colorful, from the vegetables inside the wrap to the bright red seasoning on the hummus. Upon taking a huge bite of the grill pressed wrap, I realized my mouth was full of mostly vegetables (lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, and carrots). Taken by surprise, I decided to probe the so called beef wrap only to find a handful of scraps of meat. I ended up dissecting the wrap to find the meat because the pita shell had quickly become soggy and dripping with sauce like a runny faucet. The beef that was so scarcely strewn about the wrap was cooked to perfection; however, there was one major drawback. The meat was flavorless. Next, I decided to take a shot at the falafel. I took a piece and dunked it into the small pool of hummus and took an enormous bite. The falafel had a crunchy exterior and moist interior, and the hummus was thick and creamy; it was everything I had hoped for in falafel and hummus… except for one rather large weakness. Both were flavorless. As a last-​ditch effort, I decided to try to the sauces accompanying my platter of surprisingly lackluster food. The tzatziki sauce played along ever so seamlessly with the central theme of my meal, no flavor. It seemed as if I was eating a generic Mediterranean sauce that had no place anywhere because adding it to my food didn’t enhance or worsen the flavors (or lack thereof). Standards having been lowered, I tried a squirt of the red chili sauce and tasted absolutely nothing for a few seconds and then the spice slowly emerged from the background like a subdued buildup in a dramatic movie soundtrack. The odd thing about this sauce was that although it had spice, there was no other flavor associated with it. I don’t know how it was possible to have a chili sauce that had spice with no flavor, but I wasn’t really surprised at this point.
Disappointingly reflecting on the meal I had just eaten, I felt a bit out of place because it was as if my taste buds had been taken away from me prior to this Mediterranean trek. Needless to say, there were rudimentary seasonings missing from every item I had ordered. The irony in all this being that there is a grocery store named Spice Mart that shares a wall with this restaurant. If only they had shared more than a wall. The optimist in me felt like maybe I hadn’t chosen the right items or I hadn’t come on a good time of the day or day of the week, but I realized that after this experience, I would most likely not return to search for any truth in that thought.

I was in the mood for something different. I am a creature of habit so I tend to go to some of the same places when going out to eat. I decided to try Pitaville. I like that they have a wide variety to choose from. I tried the chicken pita wrap and it was ok. Nothing to ride home about. The prices are on par with most other fast casual dining places. The service was decent and preparing the meal was relatively quick. I know you have to make it fresh so I can be a little more patient with it versus a place that is a little more busy on occasion. Overall it’s a decent place if you want a change of pace but nothing to ride home about.

If you’re craving for silky hummus with grilled kebab or shawarma over a steaming bed of basmati rice? Then smothering it with tahini or spicy red pepper tomato sauce, this is your spot! It’s a must try for quick family dinners, even my kids love it. The shish taouk plate and falafels is a must try. You get a good amount of food to share with 2 people. Came out of pitaville as a happy customer and will definitely be back.

In reality, I would give this place 2.5 stars, but I rounded up to be nice.
Honestly, I saw all my fellow Unilocal Elites giving this place three stars and I wondered why. I thought maybe they were being harsh or maybe it was bad days that they went, who knows? So I decided to give this place a shot anyway… And they were so right.
I don’t compare any place to Naf Naf because they’re a chain. A big chain at that, so yes, prices and quality can very at Naf Naf. I compare my falafel life to Falafelji in Lyons because they stole my falafel heart and continue to wow me. I mean, I drive 31 miles there and back just to hit up my homies at Falafelji. I mean, they’re amazing. So, its hard to compete.
But I really can’t say I will be returning here. I paid .75 cents for garlic sauce that I took one bite of and didn’t use again, the baba tasted like hummas, the pita was decent and nothing special, and the falafel was too fried and tasted like chicken (they do chicken nuggets… I’m guessing they use the same fryer). So yeah, I’m disappointed that I spent 20 dollars for two people and it wasn’t that good… at all.
Otherwise, décor was nice, staff was friendly, and place was clean.
Sigh. Oh well.

I was in the area and was in need of a late lunch — something quick that I could carry out, so I jumped on my Unilocal app to check out what was nearby. I had never heard of Pitaville, but words like Pita and Mediterranean always catch my eye (and my taste buds)!
The menu has a good variety. I personally tend to always choose something that includes falafel when I’m at a mediterranean joint, so I went with the Falafel Wrap! I’m not sure if I misjudged this place by thinking it was a fast casual restaurant, but the amount of time it took to prepare a wrap was disappointing and definitely not fast. I was the only one in the restaurant and it took a solid 10 – 12 minutes. Now I wasn’t expecting this to be freaky-​fast, but I just thought waiting that long for one wrap to be made was a tad ridiculous.
Regardless, I grabbed my order eventually and was on my merry way. When I got home and opened the bag I was pleasantly surprised — the wrap was a lot bigger than I was expecting! It came with two sauce containers which was also highly appreciated. In a nutshell, the wrap was just okay. I’ve definitely had better.
Needless to say I finished the whole thing, but key take-​a-​ways were how filling the wrap was and the tasty sauces. I personally thought the falafel itself was sort of dry and tasteless and the wrap was a little burnt and blah-​tasting. I would have hoped for a softer wrap and more moist falafel — to me that’s a fresh taste.
I think this place has a lot of promise, but there’s definitely room for improvement when it comes to efficiency and food quality! Maybe next time I’ll have to try a different menu item.

Well, like the majority, I’m going to have to say this place is average and prefer Naf Naf over Pitaville. Maybe it isn’t entirely their fault; my appetite has been non-​existent until the evening hours, so trying to grab something for lunch has been a challenge lately.
I entered Pitaville and attempted to quickly decide on something to eat. My usual at any place with «Pita» in their name is a chicken kebab sandwich, or something similar. But today I decided to go with a small Jerusalem salad, which contains cucumber, tomatoes, parsley, garlic, olive oil & sesame paste. I wasn’t diggin’ the sesame paste idea but I thought I’d give it a go. The man who took my order asked if I wanted pita bread with my salad and I told him «sure.»
About five minutes later, my order was ready. Now, I know I ordered a small, but I had envisioned something a bit bigger than I received. After all, it’s just vegetables really. I guess the cost would be from the olive oil and sesame paste.
As expected, my tastebuds weren’t delighted with the sesame paste. I ate about a third of the salad and gave up. So then I tried the pita bread, and unfortunately was met with the same stiff, thin, and definitely not fresh bread many other reviewers encountered. It came with a tiny container of some kind of watery sauce. To say I was disappointed was an understatement, but seeing as how I paid a little less than $ 6 for the salad and a bottle of water, I guess I got what I paid for.
The restaurant itself was clean, and fairly spacious. The man who took my order was nice, as was the employee who gave me my order. I might give this place another chance when my appetite has returned to normal, but will avoid the pita bread.
