If you like pita's - YOU GOTTA EAT HERE! *Warning - if you do: Come hungry darlin'! Portions are huge! Everything made fresh in store by sole- proprietor, JP, who is awesome! My first time to this hidden gem, but definitely not my last! read more

Good food. Huge portion size. Great place and ambiance for dine in but I ordered to take out. Worth the price. I tried Donair pita sandwich and chicken club sandwich. Donair was amazing. Chicken club sandwich was little too salty though. Owner is really nice and generous towards preparing food When I said it is my first time, he even gave me free sample of meat to try. Plenty of free parking in front of the location. read more

JP's Pita Deli - JP - Delis Near Me - Bowmanville, Ontario

Checked out this place due to a recommendation by a friend and I can say it did not disappoint. When you walk in, you will be greeted and welcomed warmly. Since it was our first time there, we were given samples of chicken, pork and beef to try. I ended up ordering the chicken pita. It was huge and very tasty. You get a lot of meat and vegetables. You will not be able to finish it. You can easily share between two people. My only regret is that I did not dine in and did take out instead. It gets pretty messy. I could only finish some of my pita and I wanted to save the rest of it and take it home. But it's wrapped in wax paper and placed in a paper bag. As I was eating my wrap, the toppings fell out, making a hole in the paper bag. So I couldn't save it and take it home. Same thing happened to my friends. It's a shame because the wrap was so good. read more

I had been meaning to attend JP's and finally went this past Wednesday. Now this...THIS is where you get a genuine pita. Absolutely flawless in terms of quality. The tzatziki is world class. Chicken, beef or pork - you can't go wrong. JP, you're the man, brother! I can't wait to treat my girlfriend to a world class meal in the near future. read more

It was amazing food, it's so big and so delicious, the service is amazing, food amazing, 100% coming back here

This is a tiny hole-in-the-wall place beside a Harvey's and a Subway, just off the 401 as it passes through Beaumont. As you're heading east, take the exit and loop around a corner and you'll find yourself in a little plaza with parking and these chain fast food places and then JP's sandwiched in the middle. The front window is plastered with listings of the types of pita available, and inside has a very eclectic decor with a few tables to sit at if you like. There is also a shared outside patio space in front of the Harvey's with some picnic tables for folks to eat outside. The proprietor clearly works extremely hard and long hours to keep the place going and has some dedicated regular patrons; I stopped by on my way from Toronto to Kingston on the 401 and decided I'd rather try something unique than a fast food chain. When I arrived one of the regulars and his daughter were finishing up some pitas and the proprietor was discussing the rising costs of supplies with someone who was getting take out, so I asked the regular which pita they'd recommend. "They're all great!" was the answer. He'd just had the donair pita and his daughter the chicken club, and he recommended both, but said I couldn't really go wrong with either. So I tried the donair pita and yep, it was quite delicious but also HUGE. Couldn't possible finish the entire thing, so had half left over for lunch the next day (and it was great then too). He also had a good selection of drinks available; Fentiman's Ginger Beer isn't something you'll usually find at a highway stop, but there it was and delicious also. The most amusing part of this place was the owner, however. He kept up a running commentary and is clearly quite a local personality; fridge magnets and t-shirts were available with his face plastered across them. He described how he sources all his unique ingredients from all over the place, and how he gets only about 3 hours sleep a night because he's so busy with this place. Then he asked how old I thought he was, and told me he's 70 (I'd have guessed mid 50s) and that the secret is scotch. Then asked me if I know what scotch is, to which I said definitely yes, and he insisted on pouring both me and him a small shot of Johnny Walker Red Label on the spot, before continuing with the random conversation including the price of food lately and asking whether I spoke French for some reason. Hilarious all around, this is definitely my new favourite place to stop along the 401. read more

It's a small business and JP works himself and he is excellent in starting conversations. I ordered a chicken pita which was stuffed with so many fresh veggies and so tender chicken. The sauces and chutney was absolutely mouth watering. I also got one large potato wedges which were nicely seasoned and good portion. That sandwich is good for two people although I was able to finish it myself. read more

We loved visiting JP. I got a gyro, my wife got a chicken pita. This place is authentic. Everything homemade. Be sure to take a selfie with J.P. himself. read more

Really wanted to love this place! But the meat was super dry and fatty! Did not like the fact everything was heated im a microwave overall The owner was lovley read more

My boyfriend and I visited JP's for the first time today, owner was super friendly and polite. He got our food made super quickly. I tried the gyro pita and my boyfriend had the chicken caesar pita; we both enjoyed our pitas so much. The ingredients are crisp and so fresh, and it's honestly such a great deal for so much food. Neither of us could finish our pita in one sitting so we have a snack for later now!! Their fries were served hot and crispy, can't wait to try one of their poutines next time. We will definitely be going back again!! read more

JP is a super fun guy. You can tell as much since his pictures are EVERYWHERE! My first time visit and well he claims to have authentic Donairs so I had to drop in.( I visited 2 breweries in the area what can I say.) If I had to rate the food I would give a 3. Portion size is great and the meat is tasty but the sauce is not as good as I would have liked. Put it this way, if you like mayo you would love it. The place is quite divey but most of the good places are lol. Now if I had to rate the place on the experience? 5.5 stars. JP is awesome hell my 18 yr Daughter adores the guy haha. She bought a shirt of his and he even threw in a poster for her wall lmao. Because it was our first time there JP shared different meats and even had a shot of Johnny Walker red with me. Apparently he does this with a lot of his regulars. Like I said if you want a laugh, story and a fun experience. Check this place out. If you want a Donair drive an hour west or send me a message and I will tell you where to go. I will drop into Jp's again but will try some of his other sandwiches. read more

A hidden gem just off the 401 in Bowmanville! JP's specializes in massive pitas , mostly based off a variety of pulled meats. While the sandwiches were very good (try the pulled beef with dill tzatziki), the real star of the show is the owner himself, who couldn't be friendlier or more welcoming. Not only did he let us sample several different fillings before we ordered, the kids got free popsicles at the end of the meal. The interior of the restaurant is unique, with pictures of the owner and customers covering the walls. One pita will feed two people. The onion rings are good as well. read more

So I was here today with my husband. The owner has a huge personality and I thought he was awesome. We ordered a pulled Beef combo and a falafel salad. I asked the owner to put hook me up with anything he felt should be served with the pita and the salad. HOLY!!! I will say that while I was waiting, a very picky lady was ahead of me and I must say the fellow that owns the shop was very patient with her. Changing her mind every three minutes and holding up the line..... Kudos to him because I have no patience for this type of thing. Everything was amazing and the portions were so large that we are still munching on it now for dinner. I will be back for sure. read more

Best Donairs this side of the east coast. JP is the man !!!! Love this place.East Coast DonairGyro Pita read more

Donair was amazing, wedges fantastic, very nice guy Fast efficient Small but clean read more

Tons of praise for JP, I'll reiterate that he's an awesome personality running his business. Dined here twice in two days, enjoyed it so much the first time I road tripped to the area so I could have lunch here again today. Had the east coast donair both time's. And both time's had a massive exceptionally tasting sandwich. Many kudos. On my first visit JP cracked me up. Someone tried to 'call in' an order, he bluntly told the person on the telephone no call ins, you need to come down to order and talk to me. Blunt and brave in these questionable time's for business. But that type of personality' is why I will definitely be returning to dine here when I'm passing through the neighborhood read more

Obsessed with this place and JP. Funniest guy and the food is fantastic. I have brought so many people here. It's great quality food and you don't feel bad about eating it. Everything is great chicken, beef, pork, poutine. I come here atleast 3 times a month. Hard to find places like this nowadays. read more

You gotta eat here if you're in Bowmanville. Old school character JP is worth the trip! He's got pizzaz, oozing with character and personality. The servings are more than generous.

Because it's the best. Giant pita's and I can't get over how good the Greek poutine is. Everything is amazing tasting. The owner is awesome.

We stopped at JP's on our way across the 401 and could not be happier we did! Food was amazing and service was unparalleled! We tried the seasoned pulled chicken, pork and beef and it was impossible to choose a clear winner! This place is not only delicious, but kid friendly too! JP catered to the kids and sent us on our way with popsicles for the kids, on the house! Couldn't recommend it more!!! read more

JP's Pita Deli - Delis Near Me - Bowmanville, Ontario

Read the reviews and thought this would be a great dinning experience. I now know that these reviews were probably writing by the owner as this was simply unacceptable in all areas. Food was sloppy and tasteless, with no care or service at any level. Very very poor. read more

Best pitas in the whole world! Been going there for years and it's never disappointing. Love ya JP

Best pita place ever! I ask JP to cut mine in half so I can eat it for 2 meals. Fresh ingredients and home cooked. Very friendly and fun to drop in to see JP. Love the new paint job and uniform! read more

JP's Pita Deli - This place is unreal! Everything is so fresh and delicious and the service is outstanding! - Delis Near Me - Bowmanville, Ontario

Dude. You gotta check this place out. My buddy stopped by here while travelling and it was probably the best decision that we made all week. I can't even tell you. Just go get a pita. Thank me later. Also, the dude who runs the place is a character. Great guy, best pita out there, hands down. You're welcome. read more

The owner is such a friendly welcoming character! Larger than life personality and food, the owner loves chatting to his customers. We ordered a falafel wrap and chicken wrap, great portions and the best flavoring for their meats and tzaziki sauce is second to none! Definitely recommend. read more

Fantastic service both times I went. Good, fresh and healthy food. Prices Re very good. Nice place to eat right near Toronto and if you're looking for a great alternative to the regular fast food joints on the 401. read more

The best donair I've ever had, and I've had them in Halifax! The thing weighed as much as a brick! I'll definitely be back.

Walking in only to buy some soft drinks, but the place smelled sooooo good. Owner offered samples that were so delicious, we could not resist. Got meat lover with beef, pork and chicken. Homemade tzaztziki sauce! It was so fresh and delicious. The owner is super friendly and engaging. Showed us the meat in the oven. Told us he works 17 hours a day and cooks 500 lbs of meat a week. He puts a lot of love into his food and it shows. Bonus - the fries were some of the best I've tasted, fresh hot w touch of sweetness. So close off the 401, skip the fast food joints, this is the place to go for meal break if you are not from the area. Right next to the Best Western. read more

5 days ago I visited this place and I'm still thinking how much I enjoyed JP and his spirited welcome and genuine hospitality. A hard working Armenian immigrant, this man makes a seriously good quality pita sandwich. Nothing but fresh ingredients made to order. Exceptionally good. read more

The best taziki sauce and falafels I've ever had! Super friendly service :)

What an experience!!! Such friendly service and the food... THE FOOD!!!! Everything taste so fresh. The falafels were made right in front of us. The fries were crispy and golden. The meat was juicy and flavorful. Just a great little spot when you're about to drive for the next 5 hrs... Little gem will be back for sure. Ciao Paesano! read more
