Pita PitakiA-Worth Trying

3401 Cherry Ave, Long Beach, CA 90807 · Greek restaurant, Mediterranean restaurant · 4.8/5 Google (657 reviews)

Delivery · Takeout · Outdoor seating

Casual Greek spot delivering standout gyros, generous plates, and fast, friendly counter service at fair prices, with minor consistency and occasional service hiccups.

Why it gets an A- for overall quality

Pita Pitaki delivers exceptional food quality anchored by authentic pork and lamb gyros that draw repeat customers across town, supported by strong service warmth and impressive speed. The strip-mall setting and tight seating limit ambiance appeal, while occasional consistency variations in falafel and meat preparation prevent grade A territory. This neighborhood gem competes well with respected local favorites through reliable execution and genuine hospitality.

Restaurant Summary

The room feels warm and bustling, a tiny counter-order spot where plates fly out fast and staff greet regulars by name. One diner raved, "Closest to Greece style pork gyro I have had," while another called it a neighborhood gem. Seating is limited but turnover is quick, and the strip-mall setting keeps the focus on the food. The cooking leans traditional Greek comfort: juicy pork and lamb gyros, soft pita, bright tzatziki, and a lineup of dips and meze. Expect hearty portions and straightforward flavors over cheffy flourishes; octopus, spanakopita, and feta fries draw fans, with occasional quibbles about falafel texture or the odd dry slice when busy. For families, this is an easy win with kid-pleasing choices like fries, rice, pita, chicken skewers, and mild dips. There is no dedicated kids menu, but the menu’s familiar items make sharing simple. Space is tight, so earlier meals are smoother with children.
