35 Crescent Dr, Pleasant Hill
Earlier this month we learned that Gotta Eatta Pita was opening their second location in downtown Pleasant Hill and they are now open. (Their first location, in Danville, opened last December.) I had a chance to stop by for dinner recently and was impressed with the offerings and reasonable pricing. This seems to have hit a chord with locals as they plan on opening more Gotta Eatta Pita locations (one per month!) throughout the Bay Area including San Francisco. Next up, Pleasanton, on Owens Drive.
The ordering reminds me of Chipotle. After choosing between salad/pita, and shawarma, falafel or the combo, you walk down the line towards the register adding various sides and toppings such as eggplant, purple cabbage, hummus, cous cous and tahini sauce. They kept stuffing more and more that I was getting nervous how I was going to eat it and on top of that at the end they went back and stuffed more falafels on top. They place it in a cardboard box in which the top half can be ripped opened allowing for easy eating. Check out their menu here.
