The Pita Pit

Driving to Cobb’s Creek last Thursday, many of us began discussing delicious restaurants in the Philadelphia area. While this conversation caused extreme hunger, it also made me curious as to how environmentally friendly such restaurants were. Questioning this, I came across The Pita Pit, located at 1601 Sansom Street. In July of 2008, The Pita Pit was awarded as a Certified Green Restaurant. In order to meet the certification requirements, this delightful eatery began an extensive recycling program, implemented technology to limit water consumption, and purchased bio-degradable materials (such as cutlery, cups, and lids). The Pita Pit, meeting certification requirements, also took the extra step to install florescent lighting, utilize non-toxic cleaning supplies, and purchase local produce. They even offer sustainable food options, providing vegetarian and vegan food options.

The Pita Pit menu can be viewed on their website. Though I’ve never been to the restaurant, the food options look absolutely delicious! I definitely plan on visiting The Pita Pit soon. Anyone interested?
