The menu at this SoMa spot is straightforward: choose either falafel, spit-roasted lamb, chicken, or beef in a pita or as part of a platter that comes with rice and salad. Both are solid, but we prefer the pita with its generous slick of hummus and a thick drizzle of tzatziki. The rice in the platter doesn’t add much. There are also a few sides, but they’re skippable—fries are soggy and dolmas are bland. But with a prime office-adjacent East Cut Crossing location and plenty of picnic benches, Pita and Gyros is still a decent pick for escaping your desk and marveling at how all of the pickleball players find time to hit the courts mid-workday.

Gyro
Our favorite thing on the menu. The pita is soft and chewy, and every protein option is always moist and tender. Just make sure to keep a lot of napkins nearby.

Gyro Platter
Think of this as a deconstructed version of the pita sandwich. While you’ll still get the meat—what Pita Gyros does best—the side of watery vegetables and flavorless rice aren’t worth the extra couple dollars.

Dolmas
Middling grape leaf-wrapped rice that will get the job done in a pinch.

Fries
Soggy and not worth your money.
