Not All Pita Is Created Equal
Why Taza's Pita Is Worth the Drive
Bagged pita from a factory sits on a shelf for days before anyone eats it. Ours goes the other way: our pita is baked in the oven right here in our kitchen -- and you can taste the difference from the first bite.
Baked in the Oven
Our pita is baked in the oven -- you can watch it puff on the oven deck. It comes out soft, warm, and puffed, nothing like the stale, bagged pita you find at grocery stores.
Stuffed to Order, Never Premade
Every pita pocket is built when you order. Shawarma carved straight off the vertical spit, falafel fried to order, and the toppings you pick at the counter. In store, you tell the crew which of the 14 free toppings you want and they build it in front of you.
Fresh Ingredients, No Shortcuts
Lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, mint, parsley, pickles, olives, pickled turnips, tahini, garlic mayo, olive oil dressing, hummus, and baba ghanoush -- pick any of them. Online, you choose up to 6 of 11 toppings for pickup through Clover.
100 Percent Halal

Our Pita Sandwiches
Three Pita Pockets, All Stuffed Fresh
Every pita is baked in the oven, stuffed to order, and finished with the toppings you choose. Pick your protein and make it yours.
Falafel Pita
$8.95Falafel fried to order—crispy on the outside, herb-green on the inside—tucked into a warm pita pocket. Topped with lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, pickles, and drizzled with creamy tahini sauce. A vegetarian Levantine classic.
Chicken Shawarma Pita
$9.95Tender, marinated chicken slowly roasted on a vertical spit until perfectly caramelized. Carved thin off the spit and served in a warm pita pocket with garlic sauce, pickled turnips, fresh vegetables, and a drizzle of tahini. The classic shawarma sandwich.
Beef Shawarma Pita
$9.95Marinated beef, roasted on the vertical spit until deeply flavorful and tender. Carved thin and nestled into a warm pita with lettuce, tomato, cucumber, onion, pickled turnips, and a generous drizzle of tahini sauce.
Prefer a Wrap?
Shrak Bread Wraps: The Thinner Alternative
If you love pita but want something lighter and thinner, try our Shrak Bread wraps. Shrak is a traditional Levantine flatbread baked paper-thin on a hot dome. It wraps around the filling like a second skin -- chewy, delicate, and impossible to put down. Bigger format than pita, different texture, same halal ingredients.
Falafel Shrak Wrap
$9.95Crunchy falafel, fried to order, wrapped in traditional thin shrak flatbread with creamy hummus, fresh Arabic salad, pickles, and tahini sauce. The shrak bread adds a delicate, chewy texture that pairs perfectly with the crispy falafel.
Chicken Shawarma Shrak
$11.45Chicken shawarma carved off the vertical spit and rolled in soft, thin shrak bread. Layered with garlic sauce, pickled vegetables, fresh greens, and a touch of sumac for a bright, tangy Levantine finish.
Beef Shawarma Shrak
$11.45Beef shawarma carved off the vertical spit and rolled in shrak, the paper-thin Levantine flatbread traditionally baked on a domed saj. Finished with tahini, garlic sauce, pickled turnips, and fresh vegetables.

What Makes a Great Pita Sandwich?
The Bread Matters More Than Anything
A pita sandwich is only as good as its bread. When pita is mass-produced in a factory, shipped across the country, and sits on a shelf for days, it loses everything that makes it special. It becomes flat, dry, and chewy in the wrong way. It cracks when you try to open the pocket. It falls apart the moment you add toppings.
At Taza, our pita is baked in the oven on-site -- you can watch the rounds puff on the oven deck. Each pita puffs up into a perfect pocket -- golden on the outside, soft and steamy on the inside. When you tear it open, it holds its shape. When you stuff it with shawarma and pile on the toppings, it does not collapse or leak. That is what good pita is supposed to be.
The Filling Has to Match the Bread
Good pita deserves a good filling. Our chicken and beef shawarma are seasoned with a blend of warm spices -- cumin, coriander, turmeric, paprika, garlic, lemon -- then roasted on a vertical spit. When you order, we shave it directly off the spit into your pita. The meat is juicy, caramelized on the edges, and deeply seasoned.
Our falafel is the same story. Made from chickpeas mixed with herbs and spices, then fried to order. The outside shatters when you bite in. The inside is bright green, moist, and packed with flavor. Paired with tahini and fresh vegetables inside our pita, it is a filling vegetarian sandwich, halal and meat-free, in Northern Virginia.
Pita vs. Shrak: Which Should You Choose?
If you have never had Shrak bread, think of it as the thinner, larger cousin of pita. Where pita is a pocket that you stuff, Shrak is a paper-thin flatbread that gets wrapped around the filling like a burrito. It is baked on a curved dome, which gives it a slightly chewy, flexible texture.
Pita gives you a better bread-to-filling ratio and more structural integrity. Shrak gives you a bigger portion and a lighter bread experience -- you taste more of the filling. Both use the same proteins, sauces, and toppings. There is no wrong choice. In store, both come with 14 free toppings, your choice, built at the counter.
