Editorial Review for Extreme Pita – by Rhonda Aburomi
In Short
Located a few doors from the Cine-Capri is a fast-growing find. Eclectic jazz is as inviting as the staff, and owner Joe Roth happily makes recommendations from the entirely low-fat menu (23 pitas with less than four grams of fat.) While the fare ranges from traditional grilled chicken to vegetarian falafel, a best-seller is the Chicago Gyro--a blend of lamb and beef with Greek tzatziki sauce that's popular with Midwestern transplants.

Insider Tips
Save TimeThis joint is jumping right around lunchtime, so call or fax your order ahead of time and skip those long lines.
The ExtrasPitas are served "naked"--the extras are all up to you. Choose from sauteed mushrooms, Cajun hot sauce, or even baba ghanoush (eggplant dip) at the cold counter.

The shop is clean and bright, and the menu has some 'healthy' options, so it has some things going for it. However, the fare doesn't exactly scintillate. They don't give you very much of your filling choice (gyro, chicken or steak), relying on your 'fixins' to fill the sandwich. I'm sure it helps reduce fat calories for them, but it also left me wanting more taste. Not bad, but I won't go out of my way for it.
Pros: Clean, Mostly Healthy
Cons: SLOW when busy, Low bang for buck

I love places like Extreme Pita, because when you go into one, and I have been to this one they talk to you like pitas are a new invention, and they talk to you like a child. And it's not really a good deal, and they really don't make a good pita. It's a franchise that is using someone elses idea and running with it. The one thing I do like about places like Extreme Pita is that it's a place for yahoo's to go to instead of the better places like Aladins on Via Linda. You want a pita that is true to it's nature go there, but not all of you!!!
Pros: diversion
