I was here multiple times several years ago, and I realize the absence of a review sets a poor example for younger generations of Yelpers or even those who might enjoy an archive chronicling today's fast-casual Greek establishments. I got the beef-lamb platter and didn't realize it was just regular meat, not a gyro. I enjoyed the tzatziki and salad, plus the lemon potatoes, which are more readily found in Astoria-type classic restaurants rather than quick-serve spots. Years ago I liked the horiatiki. I don't recall all of my legacy dinners but I'll use this as a teachable moment to write quicker reviews. read more

Got lunch take out today, and although the food was pretty good, I felt it was way overpriced, even by Manhattan standards. I got the Greek salad, and it had good flavors, but the lettuce was a bit yellowed and the portion size was pretty small. i also had the vegetarian pita, which was good as well, but again, smallish portion size. The meal was a bit over $30, and I was left feeling hungry. I probably wouldn't reorder from Pita Press unless i am really craving Greek food and I can't find anything better in the area before then. read more

Overpriced $25 for Horiatiki salad with souvlaki chicken. Chicken was ok but the salad was sandy. Every bite was with sandy bits. Needed better wash and rinsing I guess. Did not enjoy but trying to eat all the chicken as I type so money not wasted. Will not go back. read more

I had $16 to burn so I dropped by this fast largely take out spot to light a match. The chicken souvlaki sandwich was fine - unremarkable in most ways, fresh ingredients, nice pita, but nothing more or less. Chicken, dry. I probably won't go back, but if you are craving a chicken sandwich on a pita and can't get to a place that charges less than $10, like the stands under the 31st Ave w or n train in Astoria(which is much better) than I guess you can blow your $$s here. read more

Good delivery option in FiDi because the food is fresh, delivery is quick, and none of those horrendous fees you see on the apps. $1.50 fee for delivery, that's it. I have been ordering the zucchini plate for years and it's still good for $14.95. read more

Delicious but overpriced. $25 for a shrimp kabob side of halloumi cheese and drink. Not filling, I could've easily eaten two of them but that would cost a lot. Love the food, not the prices or portions. read more

Pita Press Greek Rotisserie - Greek Near Me - New York, New York

Not a Greek food. They had zucchini balls instead of chickpeas balls( falafel). Quantity was good. Very clean .

Scam. Prices are not as posted. Charged 6.99 to add grilled chicken to salad even though price posted is 4.75.

The food is subpar. I did take out and they sent RAW chicken. Upon calling to get it sorted out, the woman told me to call tomorrow. She refused to refund. She also refused when i said i would come back and get another meal. They are refusing to make this okay. I do not recommend this place at all. read more

Growing up in and around Astoria, I get really weak for Greek and food sometimes. There are only about 2-3 spots for Greek food in the area, this being one of them. But it's not at the popularity level of Uncle Gussy's or GRK, mainly because of the shady-looking location--tell me I'm wrong. I've been here twice now and it does the job if you're craving Greek food. I am somewhat biased, as I've been spoiled by amazing Greek food in Astoria, but the quality here is average--you're also paying Manhattan prices and Manhattan lunch quality, so don't expect too much. I liked the juicy, tender cuts of the lamb and beef gyro, but it was heavily lacking in flavor. There wasn't enough tzatziki sauce and not much seasoning in the meats either. The serving size is also on the smaller side, so best to order a meal or a side if you have a big appetite. It seems that they heavily rely on online and phone orders, which I suppose the one of the reasons this place stays afloat. There aren't many customers ordering during lunch time and it's probably because it's so hidden. OK for a grab 'n go bite, but not my top choice for Greek in FiDi. read more

this is so sad to write after I just left a review based on consistency, but the last two times I ordered they forgot to include my add ons in my order and my food was cold when I received it. Also my potatoes in my last order were severely undercooked. So upsetting. read more

Provides great, well-priced Greek food with generous portions and helpful staff. It is great for pick-up orders which come well packaged for transport. There are two outdoor tables available, rarely occupied, which are generally acceptable if one wants to eat immediately. The family combo items offer great value for money. read more

I used to order takeout from this place all the time. I stopped by today to order a salad and I was shocked at the drop in quality and the increase in price. I got a simple Greek salad with chicken. It was $15.87!!! Not only was the price ridiculous the quality is much worse than before. My tomatoes were half rotten and inedible. The feta cheese was not that fresh. I was extremely disappointed and I will not be returning. The Greek truck on Wall Street has much better food at half the price! read more

They have a nice layout with a bright blue section for counter seating. Their zucchini fritters dish was tasteful. I wish there were like 2 more of those fritters! 3 was not enough. So good! By the way, they have a variety of pre-cut dessert in plastic to go containers as well, so this could be a good dessert place too. read more

They can do so much better. This place needs to make its food fresh . My lamb and beef gyro tasted great but was not hot enough to enjoy . The meat is actual meat and not sausage which is a plus. The service was awkward and the cashier didn't seem excited that I was there. read more

Using Yelp to search for Greek pitas my food travels takes me to the Financial District. My one pork pita $7.40 was very messy and the lettuce does not appear fresh. The Tzatziki sauce was mediocre. My pita was wrapped in a roll to be consumed on the go New York style. Desserts and traditional Greek sweets of Baklava and Kataifi are available including the popular rise of Greek yogurt. Note: No restroom facility on site. No utensil counter or napkin freely out in the open to dispense as all is distributed in your order. Since there are no restroom facility on site Pita Press should at least provide moist towelettes for patrons who do dine-in. Bring your own moist towelettes or hand sanitizer. Pita Press contains very minimal ledge (not table) seating available with stools as this eatery is designed for takeout. I am not overall impressed. read more

Good gyros. Would definitely return here soon for sure. Love the taste. Hard to get a good gyro these days.

I love Pita Press! I always order the lamb & beef plate with cucumber tomato salad as the side. The food is fresh and warm and the service is fast. Two tips: 1) Order via Ritual to collect points. You also save a dollar and a few minutes :) 2) Opt for the lamb & beef instead of the chicken. read more

Pita Press Greek Rotisserie - Lamb and beef plate with cucumber tomato salad. - Greek Near Me - New York, New York

We regularly order Pita Press at work. My favorite dish there is the vegetarian pita wrap with the zucchini and pita fritters. There's the perfect proportion of veggies to fritter to Tzatziki. The pita is never soggy, and is wrapped in a way that it doesn't drip all over you. I also really like their vegan fritters with the fava bean dip. The only reason I gave this place 4 stars instead of 5 is because I wasn't a fan of their Baklava, which tasted stale and overly greasy the one time I ordered it. That said, I wish I could've given a 4.5! read more

WOW TOTALLY BLOWN AWAY!! 5 STARS!! I used to order from this place quite a bit but haven't in a while. I cannot get over the price what an amazing deal!!!! I was hungry coming back to the city after a huge storm last night and we decided to give them a go and try a family deal and added on to that. WOW there was SO much delicious food we will have lunch for days. The portions are unreal, my husband thought I ordered catering! The fritters were so delicious, the watermelon feta salad was so fresh and divine (so hard finding fresh greens during covid), lemon potatoes were so lemony melt in your mouth good, fava bean dip is always a fave and amazing pita. Smoothie we added on was good as was my husbands rotisserie lamb. Baklava for dessert was also delicious! Will absolutely be ordering from here again!! 5 STARS!! read more

I ordered the chicken souvlaki platter during my last visit here and I'll have to say that it was mediocre at best. It wasn't the worst Greek platter that I've had, but it certainly wasn't the best. Upon walking in, I was greeted by a lady at the counter who wasn't exactly the friendliest. No biggie, since I came here for the food and not the service. Like I mentioned earlier, the platter did not exactly blow my expectations away. The "tzatziki" was especially disgusting since the consistency was reminiscent of old butter or cottage cheese. It was definitely bound to clog my arteries for sure. It was like chewing a stick of butter. Other than that, the pita bread was nice and warm and so was the rice. The chicken was a bit on the bland side but was also overpowering with the amount of herbs they used to season it. Not sure if that made any sense or not. Overall, I'd say skip Pita Press unless you really have no other options. There are far better Greek places in the city such as Souvlaki GR and GRK. read more

Pita Press Greek Rotisserie - Chicken souvlaki platter - Greek Near Me - New York, New York

I was at Cedar Local, the bar next door when I suddenly had an urge to eat. Someone told me there was a Greek spot next door so I gave it a try. I went in around 9:30 pm and it was practically empty. I asked the woman at the counter what she would suggest, and she told me to try the chicken souvlaki - so I did. I got the chicken souvlaki in a sandwich (there's an option to get it with salad) and it was just alright. There was nothing really great or special about it. It was pretty basic actually. Just a few pieces of chicken, tzatziki sauce, and tomatoes in a pita. Especially for $10, I didn't think it was worth it. Yes I was full after eating, but I don't see myself coming back. read more

Pita Press Greek Rotisserie - Chicken souvlaki - Greek Near Me - New York, New York

Came here for lunch with a friend near my job the other week. It's nothing special. Nothing bad. I ordered a chicken souvlaki pita. The meat wasn't the juiciest ever. I enjoyed the cucumber yogurt sauce that dripped all over me. Napkins are placed behind the cashier, which was rough with frantically looking for some. My friend went with a lamb and beef plate that comes with a side salad and pita. It was good and relatively inexpensive ($6.50 for a chicken sandwich/$9.75 or $8.75 for a plate pending on what meat you go with) but nothing wowed me. What I think surprised me the most for being a little greek take out place, they don't sell falafel. They do sell zucchini fritters, but no falafel. Wtf. Seating is limited and it's a tiny place, so it's best to take your food to go. read more

Tasteless, dry and dried out. I will never return there. I never like to leave bad reviews. But I don't know where these other reviews are coming from. Don't waste your money or time. read more

I had the beef/lamb platter with beans. The woman in front wasn't very nice. The salad which accompanied it was fine though the dressing lacked some flavor. The pita was a little cool. I mean I don't mind having generic pita but at least heat it. In terms of the meat, it was actually pretty good. There was a good mix of fat and flavor. The side that came with it, the beans/gigantes, were OK. It had a light tomato sauce which didn't add much but at least the beans were soft. I might go back but this area has a ton of halal carts with much cheaper food with better service also. I'll go back when I am in the mood for something sweet or for their (pricey but delicious) sour cherry soda. 2.5 read more

You will definitely really like Pita Press. This place is unbelievable. Every thing that I have purchased was really great and I would come again to have it again! The staff was outstanding and very accommodating. I almost hate to give 5 stars cause I want to keep Pita Press a secret. read more

This place is seriously delicious affordable Mediterranean food! They make these family combos that feed 4-6 people and are a great price! Absolutely love the good vibes and amazing food!! Would order weekly if I could read more

Just stop it - you gals and guys are too good at what you do. The delivery is always way on time, the ingredients are fresh, and the taste is consistent each and every time. The spanokopita salad with greek yogurt dressing is my summer-body staple. Each leaf in the salad is precisely cut to fit into my small mouth. The portion of the greek yogurt in the dressing is accurate - not too saucey, not too dry. I may sound like I am exaggerating, but I am not, I am just happy to find a healthy delivery place that is satisfying. read more

I'm assuming people get this confused with Pita Express... only explanation why this place doesn't have a full 5 glowing stars.... God I love the Vegan tomato mint fritters. There was a time I ate this for lunch and dinner when I lived in the area. The fava dip it comes with is a velvety and heavenly. Only wish is that Horta was a side on it's own instead of just part of the Mediterranean Health Salad! read more

Love ordering delivery from here. The portions are generous Tomato Mint Fritters: I love these and get them almost every time. 10/10 Cucumber Tomato Salad: Classic Greek salad, love the taste and also order this often. 7/10 Chicken Souvlaki Plate: Very good. always fills me up. I made the mistake once of getting the Chicken pita and was disappointed. I recommend the chicken souvlaki plate over the chicken pita. 8/10 Baklava and Kataifi: heavenly!

We usually get food from Pita Press for lunchtime meetings. I have had their chicken with roasted potatoes, salad and tzatziki. I live how they season and cook the chicken! The potatoes are good too, but sometimes they are undercooked. The salad and tzatziki are my favorite, as well as the pita bread that usually comes warm. I have had one of their sandwiches too, it was very flavorful but it felt small for a lunch meal. read more

I came here for lunch and I was excited to finally try this place because I knew that this was a very popular lunch spot. I opted for the chicken souvlaki platter. They give a side salad when you order when you order a platter in addition to another side. I thought that was a great deal. Unfortunately, my whole meal was burnt. Everything that could be burnt was burnt. The pita was burnt and my chicken was burnt. The lemon potatoes were subpar. As I was eating this I was super sad. Hungry me kept picking around the burnt parts hoping to salvage some pieces. I then took a bite into a piece of chicken that I saw was bloody. I immediately threw it away! Bloody chicken is completely unacceptable. I'm hoping that this was just an off day for them, but I will not be returning. read more

Ever since my first visit, this hopped onto my mental top 10 FiDi Hotspots list. It also happens to be located less than 4 blocks from work, which is gold because my bldg is surrounded by landmarks (and the corresponding tourist mobs). I normally alternate between the tomato fritters plate or sandwich, depending on how hungry I am, but have tried the zucchini feta fritters plate and the Zeus greek yogurt smoothie once. The zucchini fritters are equally crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, but not as flavorful as the tomato kind. The Zeus smoothie (with berries, cranberry, ground walnuts, wheat germ and cinnamon) is probably good but a tad too sour for my tastes. Unfortunately, I have yet to add Greek yogurt to my food vocabulary and cannot say much on this. My favorite remains as the tomato fritter plate with their lemon potatoes as the side. I love the fresh zesty romaine salad it comes with and the pita is always addicting. The quality of food given at this quantity just can't be beat. If you like croquettes (and c'mon, who doesn't), get the fritters! My friend has told me their salads are worth trying so when I don't feel like stuffing my face in the summer heat, I will go down that part of the menu. Fig and goat cheese salad with toasted almonds, grilled portobello, and balsamic vinaigrette sounds about right. read more

I have visited Pita Press twice for lunch. I have not eaten there. This place is efficient. Even when the line was long, they kept people moving and called out their numbers very quickly. I first sampled the zucchini feta fritter plate (complete with lemon roasted potatoes.) It was really, really good and really, really filling. It came with pita, salad, and tzatziki sauce. This was a lot of food and it was all very well prepared and seemed very fresh. The fritters are REALLY good. The second time I visited, I had the Greek fries, which were deliciously crispy and very nicely seasoned with a bit of feta, oregano, and perhaps some lemon as well. I munched through the entire bag on my walk back to work. The best thing about the fries is that they are crispy and not at all soggy. I'll keep coming here. The food from here is great! read more

This review is strictly on delivery. I have never been inside this establishment. I order delivery from here when I am at work a few times a month. I LOVE their food. For my side I nearly almost always get the giant baked beans. Those are absolutely my favorite. If I ever find a nice young greek man, whose parents come from Greece, I'm doing everything I can to win him over so he can introduce me to his Greek family, and I can go over for dinner. That's how this place makes me feel. This place makes me want to go Greece and it makes me want to marry a handsome dark haired, light eyed, greek man. I know it's crazy how food can do that to you. I've tried all the options listed under plates. I have zero complaints. My favorite is the roasted chicken. So moist and flavorful!! Today I tried the Bifteki. It was good, but I'm not certain what meat they used to make the burger. Maybe if I knew greek, I would know. Where is that Greek Man when I need him? Haha. The only complaint I have is that they put their food in cardboard boxes and then wrap it in plastic wrap to deliver the food. You can't do that. It makes the cardboard damp and soggy. They need to fix this method, & I'll change my review to 5 stars. read more
