Our Bread
What Makes Our Pita Special
Baked Fresh Daily
Our pita is made from scratch every single morning using a simple recipe of flour, water, yeast, salt, and a touch of olive oil. No preservatives, no additives -- just honest bread.
Perfect Puff Every Time
Each pita is baked at high temperature until it puffs into a perfect pocket. This pocket is what makes our pita ideal for stuffing with shawarma, falafel, and toppings.
Simple Ingredients
Our pita contains just five ingredients. No enrichment chemicals, no dough conditioners, no preservatives. It is bread the way bread has been made for thousands of years.
Warm to Order
Every pita sandwich is warmed fresh when you order. The pita comes out soft, pillowy, and slightly charred with that unmistakable aroma of freshly baked bread.

Four Ways to Enjoy Bread at Taza
Stuffed Pita Pockets
Our classic presentation. The pita is split open to create a pocket, then stuffed with your choice of protein, fresh vegetables, pickles, and sauces. Everything stays contained and portable.
Dipping Bread

Manaeesh Flatbread
Our Lebanese flatbreads are topped with zaatar, cheese, or ground meat and baked in the oven. They are a different bread tradition entirely -- more like Lebanese pizza.

The Heart of Lebanese Cuisine
In Lebanese culture, bread is not just a side dish -- it is the centerpiece of every meal. From the morning manaeesh picked up at the neighborhood bakery to the pita that accompanies every dinner spread, bread connects food, family, and tradition.
Common Questions
Pita Bread FAQ
Is the pita at Taza made in-house?
Yes, our pita bread is made fresh in-house every single day. We use a simple recipe of flour, water, yeast, salt, and olive oil. No frozen bread, no day-old leftovers -- every pita is baked fresh each morning.
What is shrak bread?
Shrak is a traditional thin flatbread from the Levant. It is rolled extremely thin and baked on a convex dome called a 'saj.' The result is a soft, slightly chewy bread that is perfect for wrapping generous portions of shawarma and falafel.
Is your pita vegan?
Yes, our pita bread is vegan. It contains only flour, water, yeast, salt, and a small amount of olive oil. No dairy, eggs, or animal products are used in the recipe.
Can I buy just pita bread to take home?
We primarily serve our pita as part of sandwiches and dip platters. However, you can order a side of pita with any dip purchase. Ask our staff about availability for larger quantities.
Do you have gluten-free bread options?
Our pita and shrak bread both contain wheat gluten. For a bread-free option, try our bowls -- they serve the same delicious proteins and toppings over rice or mixed greens instead of bread.
