Pita Pit is basically Subway/Chipotle but with falafel and hummus.
I had a falafel sandwich ($6.50 with tax) and it was surprisingly tasty---for one thing, they give you the option of whole wheat pita or white pita, and they also grill a bunch of vegetables (green peppers, mushrooms, onions and tomatoes) on the spot for you. They also have some super-spicy pepper sauces that they add to the grilled items which add a ton of flavor. Lastly, you get to choose other vegetables you might want, including cucumbers, lettuce, sprouts and a few other things.
The falafel pieces themselves are a bit soft (I prefer them crispier) but they are full of herbs and have a great taste. I could eat them on their own, which is the best gauge of falafel quality, in my opinion.
Their falafel sandwich is filling and easily constitutes a full meal all for about $6.
