Ever since the first Pita Pit location opened in Kingston in 1995, the chain has provided fresher, healthier alternatives to traditional fast food items. "The founders wanted a fast food place that people could come in, get healthy food quickly and go about their day," says Peel, who has owned the Georgetown location for three years. "There's nothing to feel guilty about when you come here to eat." Pita Pit's wide variety of pitas and ingredients have a lower sodium count and are lower in calories, carbohydrates and fat than traditional fast foods. The pitas contain vegetables that are prepared fresh every day as well as grilled meats and sauces. In addition to pitas, Pita Pit also sells fruit smoothies year round. Each smoothie contains low-fat yogurt and high-quality juice and fruit with no added syrups or sugars. The vegetarian-- and vegan-friendly restaurant delivers and caters lunches and dinners. The Georgetown location also supports local schools with a school lunch program. Pita Pit is located at in the same plaza as Food Basics at 235 Guelph Street in Georgetown.
