Craft Pita Craft Pita is a Mediterranean restaurant located on Fountain View Drive, known for Lebanese-inspired tacos and hearty rotisserie chicken dishes. Its rotisserie chickens are marinated in shawarma spices for over 24 hours and cooked on a rotisserie machine for 90 minutes to achieve a golden crust, served with fries or the guestโ€™s choice of side, along with garlic aioli and hot sauce; pickles and turnips are recommended as add-ons. The menu also highlights classic favorites such as Fattoush Salad, made with organic greens, crisp vegetables, fresh herbs, and toasted pita chips for a bright, textured bite.

๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡ง National Arab American History Month

My father Hatem Nasr moved to America during the Lebanese civil war in the 80s. He is the ideal American immigrant story. Moved to Houston, graduated from University of Houston with an engineering degree, eventually a doctorate from University of Minnesota. Worked for Honeywell, NASA, and started his own business.

Thankfully he moved to a community here in Houston that thankfully has a great and rich Arab American community.

My earliest food memories are visiting Phoenicia Deli and Droubis and while those experiences are core to my identity, for my father that food was a connection back to his homeland. We spent nearly every summer of my childhood visiting Lebanon and that formed me to be the chef I am today.

What people say

Craft Pita on Fountain View Drive brings a fresh, flavorful take to Mediterranean dining in Houston. The menu highlights bold, well-executed classics with plenty of attention to ingredients and preparation.

One standout is the rotisserie chicken, marinated in shawarma spices for over 24 hours and cooked on a rotisserie machine for 90 minutes to develop a rich, golden crust. Itโ€™s served with fries or your choice of side, along with garlic aioli and hot sauce. For an extra punch of flavor and crunch, the pickles and turnips are an excellent add-on.

Salads at Craft Pita are just as impressive. The Fattoush Salad pairs organic greens, crisp vegetables, fresh herbs, and toasted pita chips for a bright mix of textures that feels light but satisfyingโ€”simple in concept, strong in flavor.

Overall, Craft Pita delivers the kind of Mediterranean comfort food that tastes thoughtfully made every time, from savory mains to refreshing bites.
