“ Got the Gyro Pita and it is absolutely massive! Very delicious, the meat has a very smoky flavor. Definitely worth a trip, wish I lived in the area so I could go back. ”
“ Was craving a quick fix for Greek and this place hit the spot. I got the gyro that had thick, moist slices of gyro meat with lots of feta ($1 added charge) tomato, cucumber, lettuce. Yum. It's nestled away in a gas station parking lot. I hope this place gets well-deserved traction despite the kinda hidden location! The restaurant is a humble, clean establishment. Has chairs for seating. Service was prompt and friendly. Will be back 9/10! ”
“ Came here yesterday and the gentleman who helped me was very respectful and quick to make my food. Great customer service....no complaints there. Problem is, my Gyro wrap was super salty. So salty, I could not eat it all and had to give a lot to my children. Thankfully, they enjoyed it. I haven't ever encountered a restaurant that had made my food too salty, so this was a first. I'll come again, but just request less salt. ”
“ It's been years since I first tried Pita king. It was and continues to be the best gyro I've ever had. There is absolutely no better place in Escondido to get a gyro. Must get with feta! It's so creamy and smooth. The gyro meat is so flavorful with the perfect char. The pita chips are excellent made from their pita bread which is great. The gyro is massive and easily 2 meals! You pretty much get a salad on top of it and when you get to the bottom of that there's a pile of gyro meat! The people are always friendly and now I live closer to it so I'll be supporting the business more often now. Thanks Pita King! ”
“ Gyro King of Escondido. This strip mall location, which is behind a gas station, has been serving up piles of tasty gyro for over a decade. Locals know this place very well. It's consistently fresh and tasty. Price is affordable for their large portions. Their gyro meat and rice both have a very distinctive flavor. I find it unique and delicious. Not much ambiance - There's a dining area, but this place does a brisk take out business for a reason. - Massive gyro sandwich ”
“ Every time we are in San Diego, we stop by Pita King to get our favorite Greek food! It's their Gyro Plate with hand carved beef or lamb for $17 regular/$20 Large. Pita King never disappoints! Portions are huge and the Gyros and sauces are fresh and delicious. You can eat in as there are clean and comfy chairs and tables for diners. Or you can have your food to go as I always do. The service is great- fast and easy. It is a casual Greek place and it's clean and big enough. It's right across from a gas station and convenience store so everything is there for your convenience. Great place to stop by if you're on for a long drive to Vegas! ”
