My recent visit to Perfect Pita in Arlington unfolded as a culinary experience that, unfortunately, left much to be desired. Positioned as a destination for Mediterranean-inspired delights, the restaurant, regrettably, fell short of expectations in both taste and efficiency.Commencing with the culinary aspect, the offerings at Perfect Pita, while embodying the essence of Mediterranean cuisine, failed to deliver a taste that stood out or left a lasting impression. The flavors, while acceptable, lacked the vibrancy and distinctive profile that one might expect from a venue specializing in this culinary tradition. The menu, although comprehensive, did not showcase the innovative and memorable elements that elevate a dining experience from the ordinary to the extraordinary.Adding to the culinary disappointment was the pace of service, which appeared to be in need of improvement. The speed of servings left much to be desired, contributing to a sense of prolonged waiting that detracted from the overall satisfaction of the dining experience. Addressing the efficiency of service could significantly enhance the appeal of Perfect Pita for patrons seeking a quick and convenient dining option.On a more positive note, the ambiance of the restaurant was pleasant, providing a casual and inviting setting for patrons. The atmosphere contributed positively to the overall dining experience, offering a space where one could enjoy a meal in a relaxed environment.However, the challenges related to taste and service efficiency overshadowed the positive aspects of the ambiance. Perfect Pita has the potential to carve a niche for itself in the realm of Mediterranean cuisine, but a concerted effort to elevate the flavors and streamline service processes is crucial to achieving this.In conclusion, Perfect Pita in Arlington, while providing a comfortable setting, is in need of enhancements in both culinary execution and service efficiency. Elevating the taste profiles of the offerings and addressing the speed of service could transform the restaurant into a more compelling destination for patrons seeking an exceptional Mediterranean dining experience. It is my hope that Perfect Pita takes these considerations to heart, aspiring to create a culinary journey that stands out in the diverse landscape of dining options in Arlington.

Customer service was nice and the food was fresh! Something lacked but will attribute it to the sandwich and not the sandwich maker.Would try again on occasions and if you are a hummus lover would recommend due to so many to go options!

I simply love this Perfect Pita location. I have been coming to this location ever since someone recommended to me over 10 years ago. I also have a Perfect Pita right underneath my apartment building in Crystal City and never receive the level of friendliness and quality of product I've been receiving from this location. These ladies are absolutely amazing and I greatly appreciate them always remembering my order etc. Today they were so quick with my order I couldn't even believe it was ready. For lunch today I enjoyed my usual lunch pita, "BLT on wheat". I have tried mostly everything on the menu but this became my favorite. They have daily lunch specials and take call ahead orders so don't miss out on trying when in the area.

Good food, especially for a quick option. But double check your order. The falafel sandwich says it comes with a side of hummus but they gave me tzatziki instead. I asked for the hummus and she said the tzatziki is vegan. I asked what the base is and she said sour cream.... Otherwise, yummy food!

2 stars for fast and kind service, but I tried the falafel sandwich and it was dry no added souse inside although they wrote in the menu it becomes with Hummus but it wasn’t.

I just had a pre-sliced gyro at another place and wanted a real gyro, so I tried "perfect pita."It was worse, with pre-sliced gyro refrigerated hey then heated in the microwave. Piled with sliced iceberg lettuce, a winter tomato slice. it was insipid even when I piled on the second half to the first. The gyro had no flavor at all. The young Hispanic women who made the sandwich probably had no idea what it traditionally tastes like, plus they are paid so miserable they don't care. Plus all the food in the front of the store sits in plastic boxes or bottles. Don't bother.

The Veggie Delight and Spinach & Feta are perfectly delightful
Someone walks in after me and orders a steak and cheese.I had ordered a BLT and they get their food first and gone a few minutes before I get my food. I have a problem with that.

Nothing perfect about this pita. The pita was straight out of the bag not heated up or toasted or grilled, super dry. There was a load of mayonnaise on this sandwich nothing Mediterranean about this place. It was a gross mayonnaise sandwich just on pita bread. Took to bites and threw it away, so sad I spent my money here.

Tried to order a sandwich that came with two types of cheese and substitute avocado for the two. They want to charge extra even though I was excluding the cheeses. Two cheeses not just one. The humus is good. But the avocado has a funny taste. Among the better vegetarian options in a courthouse neighborhood but there aren't enough. Not a good choice for vegans.

First time hearing of this place and decided to try it before the movies across the street. The food was tasty and I would go there again. Megan's customer service was exceptional! Very friendly, explanatory, and professional. She deserves a raise!
