Pita’s Republic’s tuna pita melt is one of many delicious healthy pita sandwiches on their menu.
Pita’s Republic, 3970 Tampa Road, Oldsmar, Florida, has an interesting menu that includes gyros, lower carb pita pockets, wraps and salads.
Pita’s Republic has 10 locations in Florida. The company opened in 1990.
For my Pita’s Republic review, I taste-tested the tuna pita melt. The pita melt, made with a pita flat, can also be ordered with chicken or turkey.
The pita flat used for the Pita tuna melt was the fluffy, thick kind also used for Gyros. The pita was served with lettuce, tomatoes and purple onions. Optional items would have included sprouts, cucumbers, olives, hot peppers, pickles and banana peppers.
The tuna pita melt was heated up and served in a foil wrapper to keep it steaming hot until I got home. I was extremely impressed with the Pita’s Republic tuna pita melt.
