Pita Pit and falafel are both saviors for the vegan on the go. Falafel is pretty easy to find here in Columbus, OH. Pita Pit makes a good one, though. I had mushrooms, alfalfa sprouts, spinach, romaine lettuce, hummus, onions, green peppers and the secret sauce in my pita. I can't remember what's in the secret sauce, but an employee told me all of the ingredients and it's vegan friendly.
I had an interesting conversation while at Pita Pit. I asked an employee which items are vegan because the menu says vegetarian. She told me she is an almost-vegan (still eating cheese). So we discussed veganism and she was really helpful. She informed me that the cucumbers at pita pit are treated with beeswax, so I avoided them. She scraped the grill of for me, so there was no meat residue on my falafel. It was around 9 PM on a Tuesday, so there wasn't a whole lot of food being made. During busier times, they can microwave the falafel, though.
Pita Pit is delicious, fast and pretty cheap. I think my falafel was less than 6 dollars. I am pretty bad at making my own falafel, plus they have good condiments, so it's definitely worth it.
Here's the nutrition info for my pita (from their website):
Carbs: 73g
Sodium: 1287 mg
Protein: 20g
Cholesterol: 0mg
Fat: 28.5g
Fiber: 9g
Calories: 731
It's a bit high in sodium for the number of calories, but I'm okay with that. The hummus and babaganoush pitas are worse.
I would recommend Pita Pit's falafel to any omnivore or veg. It's so good and I'm sad that I never experienced it before giving up meat.
