Pita & Company | Our Story
Made From Scratch, Served With Heart
In Kenner, Louisiana, Pita & Company is doing something beautifully simple: owner-chef Shadi personally makes every dish from scratch, right in front of you, every single time.
Authentic Mediterranean flavor starts with fresh, healthy ingredients and hands-on care, with the owner involved in the kitchen to ensure every meal is crafted with quality and made the right way.
A Corner of Kenner, Louisiana
Minutes from New Orleans, in a strip mall that hides what's inside, Pita & Company opened with one promise: real Mediterranean food, no shortcuts. The rotating pita oven — golden, pillowy bread pulled hot daily — says it all.
Behind the Counter, Every Single Day
Owner-chef Shadi is there for every order — grilling, seasoning, assembling — with the hands-on care of someone cooking for family. He'll walk you through the menu and make sure you leave happy.
The Food That Keeps People Talking
All-lamb kufta kabobs with no fillers, chicken shawarma with perfectly charred edges, hummus guests call "to die for," and house-pressed juices that catch everyone off guard. Zero throwaway items — even the salad dressing has fans.
A Following Built One Plate at a Time
Regulars come three times a week. Out-of-towners vow to return before they finish eating. A 4.9-star rating across hundreds of reviews and a Restaurant Guru nod didn't come from marketing — they came from food that genuinely delivers.
First Visit or Fiftieth, You're Welcome Here
Whether it's your first shawarma or your fiftieth visit, you'll be greeted warmly and served with real pride. That's not a policy — it's just how Shadi runs his restaurant.
