This adventure into the world of Greek Food began on March 25th 2011, when two brothers opened the doors of Pita Press, ready to welcome guests and future friends.

In reality the journey started long ago when as children they grew up playing amongst the cooks in their parents restaurants. Always been intrigued by the tastes and aromas of the old country, always trying the old recipes made like new again.

The basic idea behind Pita press was to create simple honest Mediterranean fare from the best available ingredients but with a modern touch in a fast pace, convenient setting. The store on Cedar Street in Manhattan’s Financial District is designed efficiently as a clean well put together kitchen, very much like the one the two brothers grew up in under their mother’s watchful eye. With ingredient from the local markets as well as some flown in from Greece, Jerry and Telly strived to create a menu featuring traditional sliced meats served on freshly baked pita flat breads, mouth watering pastries, fresh salads, hearty sandwiches and plenty of vegetarian options.
