There’s a first-rate new shawarma restaurant in Plano. And if it weren’t for the coronavirus pandemic, it might not have opened.
We’ve heard many, too many, stories about restaurants closing because of the virus. Pita Town’s story is the opposite. For years, the business operated at local farmers markets in Dallas, McKinney and Coppell, selling freshly made hummus to go in a variety of flavors. But then the commercial kitchen in which the owners prepared their hummus closed because of the pandemic.
At first, all they wanted was a new space for hummus-making. What they found instead, on Spring Creek Parkway in Plano, was a small restaurant ideally laid out to sell sandwiches. So Pita Town moved in, installed vertical spits for shawarma and started cooking, opening its doors Sept. 28. The result is one of the best and most affordable sandwiches in Plano.
