Pita Heaven Opens on S. Michigan

Pita Heaven at 1250 S. Michigan Ave. opened rather quietly last week. After much anticipation, those who’ve had the opportunity to eat there are bound to think it was worth the wait.

Chicken dinner special; the oven potatoes are perfection.

According to their Web site, Pita Heaven “brings authentic Eastern Mediterranean cuisine to downtown Chicago.” We’re no experts on Eastern Mediterranean cuisine, but all the menu choices seemed appealing to us. We sampled the chicken pesto panni with lettuce, tomatoes, pesto sauce, mozzarella cheese, and grilled peppers. The portion was more than ample and the ingredients were fresh and tasty. We also sampled a chicken with pita special. Again, the portion was generous and the chicken was flavorful and carefully prepared. A big shout out for the oven potatoes, which are as good as any you’ll find this side of Greektown.

Pita Heaven offers dine-in, delivery, and carry-out service.

Pita Heaven offers dine-in, delivery and carry-out service. The interior is comfortable and nicely appointed. The fireplace is a nice touch; it will surely be the place to be on a chilly winter’s day…or maybe a not-so-warm day in June!
