Fantastic food, service, location, and price! This place is perfect. I am a regular and drive all the way from Maryland to frequent this location. The staff is super courteous will make your pita anyway you like it. Everything on the menu is fantastic. You can't go wrong. They even sell fresh hummus in house made that you can buy and take home for later. Breakfast, lunch, or dinner you won't be disappointed. #EnjoyGoodPeople. read more

I enjoyed eating my Perfect Pita which was the TCB Chicken and Route 99 BBQ chips. Food was a solid four. The service was chilled the ladies greeted and took the order. I thought well what a great experience overall. They appeared to perk up at different times during my visit, which was interesting to see. Not really over the top for anyone but all in all overall experience was really okay. Thanks PP definitely plan to support this one in the future, recommend. read more

I have been coming here for years. I have tried the Gyro, Steak and Cheese, Breakfast and Tuna Pitas. All are delicious but my most frequent buy is the regular Gyro Pita. When I call ahead my orders are always ready when I arrive. The ladies are always friendly. They have a basic dining area, plenty of tables and chairs for you to enjoy your meal or wait for your carry out order. Whenever I am in OT I make a stop and I hope you do too. read more

So nice to have this kind of place available when you need something quick, fresh and tasty. Since my office is only a few blocks away, this little shop has become a regular visit for me. I've never been disappointed. The staff is friendly but incredibly efficient - they don't have time for small talk! And please note this is a TINY place. There are no tables and I guess you could eat standing up if you had to, but it's designed exclusively for takeout. Just writing about them is making me hungry... read more

This my favorite Perfect Pita location. Great place for lunch & catering. I always enjoy the steak & Chicken pita or the chicken salad pita. Always good food. read more

The Perfect Pita - a brick building with a clock tower - Greek Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

Chicken and steak pita was disgusting, ground and shredded meat, who knows what it is. Does not taste like chicken or steak. Gross!!

Overall, this place could be considered mediocre for its food offerings. While it is clean and has quick service, the meals are generic and seem mass-produced with profit maximization in mind. I ordered a chicken Gyro, which came with fresh bread, a few chicken small pieces likely sourced from a frozen bag, a lot of lettuce, and an ambiguous sauce. I won't be returning! read more

Steak and cheese pita sandwich was hot, fresh, delicious. I will return if im in the area read more

Good place for a quick takeout meal. Been here twice now after visiting the dentist. Menu is straight forward. The seem to make just a few things and that is generally a good sign. I saw people ordering pizzas as well. I always get the gyro. read more

Food is yummy! Halal options :) Great place to come and grab a bite. The staff were ok.

This place is highly overrated. I wouldn't say averaged either. The pita is a pocket pita bread then they add toppings. For eight and change. The sauce isn't original either I guess if you like to eat very little for a big price then this would be a place for you. I have to say it is clean inside and we had quick service. read more

The Perfect Pita - I took two bites it's almost gone. - Greek Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

I've been eating at this Perfect Pita location for 25 years and love it today as much as I did then. I love everything on the menu from the unctuous Chicken & Spinach Pita, to the remarkably Italian Boardwalk Pita (with red wine vinaigrette), to the monstrous Hummus Veggie Pitas (how do they jam a whole salad in that little pita?), the fresh Gyro Pita with the sumac marinated onions, the generous Mediterranean Samplers and the extraordinary Hummus that you can only get at Perfect Pita. They've ruined me for all other Hummus at this point, seriously. For pickier eaters, like my husband, the individual pizzas never disappoint. I love everything on their menu but I do miss a couple of pitas that came and went that I would love to see back as 'specials' some day: the Lentil Pita and the Smoked Salmon Pita with Fresh Salsa. The Lentil Pita was filled with delicious seasoned lentils that were just damp enough that when baked in the pita would reanimate the dough in such a way that I truly believed there was cheese in there. It was so hearty and filling on a winter afternoon. The Smoked Salmon Pita was cold-smoked salmon (pricy I'm sure) probably with lettuce, onion and a side of the red salsa (Shepherd Salad). OMG, it was such a smoky, fresh, delight. Sorry for the tease - maybe the owners will read this and bring them back one day! read more

I was over at the Holiday Inn for a conference. During our lunch break I looked on Yelp for a place to eat and found.... The Perfect Pita.....4.5 stars!!!! It's a Pita! QUESTION: How good can it be? (I make the short walk over and peek inside) No seats or tables inside!?!? Are you kidding me?!?! This place is clearly over-rated. Hmmmm....I guess I can just eat my lunch at the Park across the street. I ordered my Falafel Hummus Veggie Pita ($5.99) and at that price , I guess I expected to get something like a taco from Taco Bell. After just a couple of minutes of waiting my order was ready and when I picked up my order it nearly dropped to the ground like a dumbell...well not quite but I was quite surprised how heavy this pita sandwich was. Positively enough to satisfy my appetite. I sit down at the gazebo across the street, and enjoyed my pita. ANSWER: The pita was damn good. Definitely going back. read more

Probably my favorite place in Old Town Alexandria! Service is quick and the staff is very friendly. Not to mention the cost is very inexpensive. I've had the breakfast sausage, egg and cheese pita which was great and the chicken gyro with added tzatziki sauce and it was AMAZING. The pita is never dry and nice and fluffy! The Perfect Pita is officially my Togo place! read more

The Perfect Pita - Chicken Gyro with tzatziki sauce - Greek Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

I got takeout this evening with some friends, so while I can't comment on the atmosphere of the restaurant itself, I can comment on the food. I got the grilled salmon pita. I'm not entirely sure what the sauce was that was included since I didn't see it listed in the item description, but it was pretty good. Likely a side-effect of ordering takeout, my pita was somewhat soggy by the time I got it home and started eating it. I enjoyed the pita itself--chewy and held together fairly well, though it did eventually fall apart in areas where more of the sauce absorbed into the bread. The salmon was well cooked--not dry or overdone--and there was a healthy quantity--making this priced very well. Iceberg lettuce and several tomato slices made up the rest of the sandwich. Solid for a stop in Alexandria if you're in the area, but nothing overly special. read more

I typically love this place but I was very disgusted to see not one employee, including the cook, wearing gloves, mask or most importantly a hair net because there was hair in my salad. I understand COVID may be over for most but we are still living in a pandemic. read more

They made the best Mediterranean food that I have ever eaten, I highly recommend the chicken shawarma. The chicken was so flavorful and soft in the most beautiful way. I have been daydreaming about coming back to have more ever since we ate here two days ago. Our server was so nice and attentive and it is nestled right in the heart of old town Alexandria just walking distance from the water. Please give this place a try; you won't be disappointed. read more

I like the soup. Everyone goes for the Navy Bean, which they have everyday. But I'm a big fan of the Chicken Pasta Veggie soup available on Mondays and Tuesdays. Other favorites, try the Bacon Hummus Veggie, Chicken and Cheese, or the Spinach and Cheese w/ Chicken. They also sell Route11 chips. The best chips ever, They are made in VA. read more

This place is great. I went here for lunch. The food is so good and tasty. I thought the prices were good and there was a variety of different choices if you don't particularly want Pita. The only issue I had was that there isn't any water that you can fill up to drink. I don't want to purchase a water since it is normally free at a restaurant. Other than that, I would eat there frequently. read more

I went there two times for lunch. just feel a little expensive than ordinary lunch. I ordered the Mediterranean sample plate. added a stake ( it takes about $4 for just adding the stake ), and there are no tables for you to sit down and eat. if you only order one entry, without any other side food, you may feel did not eat enough food for a lunch. read more

I'll give it a C. Yelp almost never lets me down and unfortunately this place was just mediocre. Maybe I'm spoiled with the options we have in Chicago. I ordered the veggie falafel pita without feta cheese. The falafel was well seasoned and decent, but the rest of it was just, meh. The hummus was a bit bland, the cheap lettuce should be at the very least romaine, and there was no tzatziki since that was another $.50 upcharge. Considering I paid $7 for a pita without meat, I'd expect a little better quality than iceberg lettuce and shortchanging on the sauces. No israeli salad and the veggies were not even chopped up. They were sliced-- making the flavors blend less than if they were all chopped together. I will not be returning for mediocre, overpriced pitas. And to think Subway had their 5-dollar footlongs this month that I passed up for something of the same quality. read more

Rancid. Don't go here... just keep walkin'... The staff did not have a commanding knowledge of English.. Terrible pita. Really bad. There are many mixed reviews about this place. I am very comfortable with giving this place a low review, and side with all others that have given it a low review. Keep walkin'. read more

Saturday's St. Patrick's Day parade left me starving. And like a shining beacon of St. Patrick himself, The Perfect Pita appeared on a street corner. My grilled salmon pita was delicious (though it could've been seared a little better), and the sides (white bean salad and grape leaves) were fantastic. The counter service was also very warm and welcoming. Check out this hidden gem next time you're in town - I know I will! read more

The food here is good but not necessarily what I was expecting of a pita place. Got the chicken gyro after reading the reviews but was slightly confused when my meal was a chicken hoagie in a pita, with lettuce, tomato and mayo. Where was the tzatziki it said it came with? The chicken is not over cooked like at a lot of fast food-ish places and there was definitely a lot of it, but it also didn't have the flavor of gyro meat. My taste buds said the combo worked, but my mind was playing tricks on me (Geto Boys...anyone? anyone?) -- that's not how a gyro is supposed to be. Didn't want to judge too quick so I went back for a pita sandwich. Figured it has "pita" in the name just like the place, so maybe it'll meet my expectations. Chose the falafel which came with hummus, cheese, tomato, cucumber and lightly grilled green bell peppers. The bell peps were a nice touch and the flavor of this worked a lot better for my mind/belly. And then I felt just like a fiend, it wasn't even close to Halloween (ok, dating myself again with the old school lyrics). Not exactly sure why the pita sandwich was more expensive than the gyro-hoagie at $6.50, esp since it's veg. But it was tasty and I'll prob go back for it again since it's so close to home, plus seemed a lot healthier than the uber mayo/meaty gyoagie. Street parking here is always easy since it's far enough off King but it does irk me that there aren't any seats inside. read more

Pita puuuurfection! This might be the second best thing about doing "professional development" courses in Alexandria (eating by the river would be first). When I found out my company would comp my lunch, I tossed my bagged lunch and ran for the Perfect Pita, two days in a row. Yesterday, I got the chicken hummus pita, which was so overwhelming: so warm; the pita so crisp; with grilled chicken, red onions, green peppers, feta, and lucious hummus that leaves that smoky flavor aftertaste. Mmmmm... Problem was, I don't think I can process feta, so although the sandwich was damn tasty, I wouldn't recommend it to my fellow lactose intolerants (You'll be *begging* for a trip to the loo. Quel uncomfortable.) Today, I went with the Sir Ceasar, basically, a chicken Ceasar salad in a pita. Delicious! The only thing I would have done differently was gotten chunks of chicken instead of slices, but other than that, it was tastytasty, well seasoned, and the dressing was so creamy and delightful. The fact that there's nowhere to sit inside the Perfect Pita is so not a minus. I'd recommend taking your sandwich down to Tide Locke park, sitting by the Potomac, and letting the wind caress your face as you stuff it with pita deliciousness. read more

White pizza with chicken is really good and it comes with hummus to dip your crust ! This is a walk in place with no seating so If its cold out and you don't have a local office to go back and eat at you'll end up sitting in your work van and grubbing out like a loser...Yep , thats what I have to do, but its worth it. The gyros and pizza are good and the staff has always been friendly. Go in the summer get your food and walk down to the waters edge at the potomac . It hardly feels like your in a city at all.. read more

Pretty good pita! It was more americanized, but still delicious. I had the Turkey Hummus Veggie which was definitely filling and flavorful. The items in the menu are however a tad pricey. Then again, they do load up their pitas to the point before they start to explode. I'm in love with their motto: "You are what you eat, so why not be perfect?" Besides the restaurant itself, the location is a pain to get to. The parking right in front of the restaurant is reserved for Sports and Health club members only. I ended up parking at the Target on Skyline Drive... after having to get a ticket on the way in (never done that for a Target before). Thankfully it was free parking (stayed less than 2 hours), but just a pain. read more

3.75 stars which rounds up to 4..... I'll tell you what this place is pretty damn good. They have tasty gyros and a number of other different things going for it. There is a wide variety of Salads, Hummus, Sodas and the like as well. They have a nice outside area for dining when the whether is good but the establishment itself is rather cramped. I will say I have had better gyros before but not in the DMV area as I don't think the DMV area particularly does well with this kind of food. This place is an excellent choice for lunch and I'm not really even sure if it's open for dinner. Also, for all of you health nuts out there this is a great choice as they have many foo foo vegetarian options as well. If you're in Old Town and want a decent lunch, try this joint out. read more

The pita is good. What's inside, not so much, at least the chicken. Mostly mayonnaise and shredded iceberg lettuce. Tastes like a McChicken. Seriously. The falafel is cold and soggy, not warm and crispy, and served with hummus. It should be fresh and served with tahini, not hummus. That's like dipping French fries in mashed potatoes. Absurd. read more

I'll confess, I'm a regular. They had me at "BLT"... You get such good value at the perfect pita (which is why the place always has a good crowd ordering). BLT pita comes with a very generous portion of bacon. The Mediterranean sampler salad is also a favorite (generous size and comes with full pita). I'm basically back and forth between the two each week. Note, there is no seating available. Order at the counter and take it away. I'm surprised I haven't dreamed of these pitas yet....maybe tonight...i can only hope... read more

Is Amphora's Gyro better than Perfect Pita? Reason I am comparing is because I had Amphora just a week ago and can provide a pretty fair assessment. Lets go toe to toe shall we? Amphora: Tender A Bit Crisp Overstuffed Halal Meat Feta Included Meat was spiced right and engulfing the pita bread Abundance of Yogurt Sauce French Fries were Plentiful Perfect Pita: Barely Any Meat! Pita was Engulfing Meat Barely Any Meat Meat was Dried and Lacking any real flavor Limited sauce which contained more onions than anything else Just lettuce, lil meat, and plenty of bread No fries just chips Most of my meal was bread ): *Who would ever think a 24-hour cafe in Vienna could make better food than an Alexandria hot spot? O well, ive since worse... read more

I had The Perfect Pita for the first time yesterday. They catered a lunch at my job. There was a few boxed lunches leftover so I ate the Sir Ceasar. OH MY GOODNESS!!! It was delicious! It was amazing pita bread, well-seasoned chicken, lettuce, dressing. It was filling and healthy. My boss even wondered where the lunches came from and how they compared price wise to other places we have cater. They are very comparable, if not a little cheaper for your sandwich & chip boxed lunch. I just placed an order for catering this coming Tuesday. What a delicious place for a wonderful, healthy sandwich!! If you have never eaten here or gotten take out, DO IT! =] read more

When I worked in Alexandria, this was definitely my favorite place to go for lunch and grab a sandwich to go. They had a lot of stuff on the menu that I liked, but for some reason, I couldn't get over the chicken hummus veggie pita. I was tempted to get it every single time I went; it was that good. All the ingredients were fresh, and even the salads weren't bad either. It can get really busy during the prime lunch hours, so calling ahead and ordering your sandwich is not a bad idea. I miss it. read more

Gyro Hummus Veggie on Wheat, no tomatoes and Jalapeno hummus inside. Thats my order! lets make it a thing. For those who aren't familiar with Perfect Pita. They sell pita sandwiches. The stuffed ones are generous but I'd be lying if I didn't think they're still overpriced for a sandwich. Anyways, a a few tips for everyone is get the stuffed ones. 1.You can order any of their hummus' as the hummus part of the sandwich. 2. White or Wheat Pita 3. Call ahead before you walk. It will be ready when you walk in there. (Limited standing room) 4. Mama Zuma's chips are awesome. 5. Don't order tomatoes. They're bad for you and disgusting. ;) read more

While trying to find an apartment, we stopped in for lunch. Two days later, we were back for more. Excellent flatbreads with tasty toppings made in what I can only describe as Greek-inspired Middle Eastern. I need to find an excuse to go back! read more

The 3 stars is not a bad sign at all okay? Just comparatively to others, The Perfect Pita gets a solid 3. This is a grab-and-go type of place. I love the selection and variety of hummus but they only give you one pita bread. You need at least 2 pieces of pita for that whole side of hummus. It's bread - don't be stingy Love the portion sizes, flavors and menu prices. Great place to grab a quick bite for lunch. The girl taking our order was a bit spacey. She was confused when we asked for utensils, then *ding*! Ohh.. right, we need forks. and OH~!! YES we ordered & paid for a side of jalapeno hummus. Check your bags before you grab and go! read more
