Exploring The Flavors Of The Crazy Pita Rotisserie and Grill

The Background

Crazy Pita Rotisserie and Grill is a fast-casual Mediterranean restuarant chain based in Las Vegas, NV. With a total of three restaurants in the Las Vegas / Henderson area and a fourth on it’s way to Texas, Crazy Pita has enjoyed measured success since it first opened it’s doors back in 2006.

Featuring a menu that ranges from pitas, skewer plates, rice bowls, salads, and rotisserie chicken, Crazy Pita offers a solid selection of Mediterranean options to choose from.

Outside of the menu, something that really stood out in the Downtown Summerlin location was the way you order. While there was the traditional employee at the front that occassionally took orders, there was another screen with someone that was taking orders virtually. I’m not sure if it’s the wave of the future but it was definitely different!

The Experience

Besides the ordering aspect, everything else is what you’d expect from a fast casual restaurant. You pay, get a number, find a seat, and wait for the food to come out. You’re provided a number and find a place to sit. While waiting for the food they provided some cinnamon and sugar pita pieces.

These were good! They really just tasted like bite sized churros. If they came out freshly made these would be amazing, without a doubt.

While munching on the sugary pita pieces, the food came out shortly after. The service was great and the food came out quickly.

I wasn’t overly hungry so I went with the Chicken Pita and fries, thinking it would be lighter. The pita consisted of marinated chicken, hummus, roasted red bell peppers, marinated tomatoes, cucumbers, and romaine lettuce. Defintely a fairly healthy lunch! I mean, minus the side of french fries that comes with the pita. All in all, a good sized pita sandwich and a side of fries for $12.99 isn’t a bad deal.

There’s a lot of veggies packed in the pita with about 4-5 chunks of chicken in it. The chicken is tasty – it has that great char taste – and the seasoning is very flavorful. The veggies are fresh, and coated in a dressing similiar to Italian.

The pita sandwich provides so many layers of textures with every bite. The softness of the pita, the different crunchiness of the veggies, the tenderness of the chicken, it’s fantastic.

I got some Tzatziki sauce on the side and drizzled that on every bite while adding some Cholula sauce too. Adding these other sauces amps up the flavor of the pita sandwich overall. The hummus sauce included in the pita sandwich is good on its own, but I liked the extra sauce. I’m just a big sauce kind of person though.

The Verdict

Crazy Pita offers a nice variety of Mediterranean fare at reasonable prices. Service is great and the food is fresh and flavorful. The Chicken Pita was a good size, chalk full of veggies, with well-seasoned chunks of chicken. It’s a tasty pita for sures.

If you’re in the mood for some Mediterranean food in the Las Vegas area, Crazy Pita Rotisserie and Grill is certainly worth a visit!
