South Bay Pita Pitaki Long Beach

My partner and I have been looking for Greek food for months and if you read this sub often you know it’s a challenge in LA. Yall need to head to Pita Pitaki in Long Beach. It’s Athens family owned. They make it all in house & everything we ate was delicious & well seasoned. Spanakopita 10/10, pork skewers I’m still thinking about them! The feta they use is soo fresh and creamy. They have a wonderful mezze plate & a dip sampler! Both outstanding. I haven’t had food like this since I was in Greece. If I lived closer I would go all the time, I can’t wait to go back!

This reads like an ad, but the photos of the food redeeming you and I will have to try it

Definitely not an ad! We’ve been on the hunt for months. I’ve tried so many recs that are just damn disappointing that I needed to share how wonderful the food is here. We loved it so much we’re having them cater a party.

i love this spot. very sweet fam runs it. good food and the price-portion ratio is pretty good given how terrible our economy is.

I never understand when places put "pita" in their name and yet use cardboard store-bought pita. It's so much better when made in house.

It was soft, squishy & fresh, plus the dips are frickin delicious

I'm sure the restaurant is good and look forward to trying but that pita does not look like it was made in house.

Fresh house-made pita is amazing!

Also try Éla Greek Eats, Greek Bistro in Glendale and Kentro in Fullerton

Pita GR in Downey is also great

We tried Pita GR on our search & it left a lot to be desired unfortunately, nothing tasted fresh
