Pita Pit Inc. has continued to be one of the fastest-growing quick-service restaurant franchises in the country since opening its first restaurant in the U.S. in 1999. The massive popularity results from Pita Pit’s signature grilled ingredients, providing a healthier and more flavorful alternative to traditional fast food. Pita Pit’s made-to-order pitas feature a customizable mix of the freshest grilled meats and vegetables, as well as cheeses and zesty sauces, all flavorfully packed into a delicious soft pita. And for consumers who prefer meatless alternatives, Pita Pit has recently added Beyond Meat substitute, which has become the latest Pita Pit craze.

Founded in Ontario, Canada, in 1995, Pita Pit now boasts more than 600 locations in 13 countries, with more than 170 in the U.S. alone.
