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!

New Burger Place Opening in the South Loop

According to their Web site (under construction), The Burger Point will be opening this summer. The new eatery will be opening at 1900 S. State St., in the space formerly occupied by Kutting Edge Kidz.

Pita Heaven and Tribute Close to Opening

According to a recent posting on the Greater South Loop Association (GSLA) Facebook page, Pita Heaven at 1250 S. Michigan Ave. looks ready to open. As of today, they still don't have an grand opening date listed on their Web site.  

Tribute, 800 S. Michigan Ave., which is supposed to open in about two weeks seems like it has a long way to go before the space is complete. I walked by Tribute last night and noticed some pretty elaborate light fixtures that were just installed. They posted the picture below to their yfrog account yesterday. It looks like it's going to be an interesting space.
