Okay so I don’t write reviews often but this place was off the charts amazing. We ordered the meat pies, zatar and cheese bread and a hummus and let me just say my husband and I were shocked at how amazing everything tasted. We literally went in 11 minutes before close and yet everything was soooo fresh. The staff was extremely kind and when we told them the food was amazing, while we were heading out, the owner handed us two pieces of baklava for free of charge because we’re new to the city and we were new to their shop. Honestly, this place is a gem. I’m a foodie. I travel the world quite a bit and I try all sorts of amazing foods and this place is in my top foods. The price, customer service and food, everything was just spectacular. I will be back like every week. Please go and try them out or you’ll miss out!

I've just come across this place. Pure fate and what a beauty of a day to find such a gem. I walked in and was greeted by the owner who was coming out from the kitchen with a flat bread with meat on it...cut up like a pizza so that customers could try. I did....and usually I'd swear here but out of respect I'll just say this was easily one of the tastiest thing I've ever had. EVER! I am a cook by trade and I'd like to think I've tried quite a bit of food from all over...this was easily one of the tastiest things that I have ever had. Seasoned to perfection meat on a most perfect Flatbread...served with a big fat juicy wedge of lemon. I can not wait to come back and try everything! I'm so so....sooo happy I found this place. Thankyou

I really wanted to try this place and when I did I was extremely disappointed. I heard that they have really good meat pies and pita bread. We ordered meat pies to go since you can no longer eat there because of Covid-19 and we also purchased some pita bread. First the meat pies were taste less and very very oily. To the point oil was dripping everywhere. It was just gross. We needed the pita bread for our dinner that night and when brought home bread it smelled awful. We were told that they were baked fresh that day, which definitely was not true. To top it all off we were also overcharged for meat pies and the bread, as they charged as for an incorrect quantity of products. To sum it up I will not be returning here.

Since moving to BC 10 years ago, I just visited Calgary again after a 4-year absence. Not having anything close to the kind of food you get in Calgary when it comes to Middle-Eastern flavours, I was looking forward to my favourite pita place. The meat pie is as outstanding as ever and although the price has risen quite a bit, the size of the pie is the same and the freshness and flavour first-class. I’ve tried duplicating the taste at home but it’s just not the same thing. The personnel are lovely and the store has lots of interesting items. Another great mainstay that is run by the same people and has the consistency and staying power we support and love. Thumbs up!!

Visited on a recommendation for a meat and cheese pie. I arrived and I had a great chat with the fellow behind the counter. He offerred the meat pie and add cheese as a first time visitor. I ordered 3 for the others I was getting them for. Turn around time is quick. Within the 5 mins being there, 15 other people had come in. There was no stacking of people waiting. All orders came out fast. They then offerred home made hot sauce and olives to take with me. When I got hime and tasted the pies, they are delicious. The hot sauce added a zip and tang that complemented wonderfully. Will be visiting again and would recommend anyobe else to try it.

This place is legendary ! I. Primarily we came for the meat pies, but everything village pita makes is delicious. About 4 years ago I started coming back to this place only now with my children and husband . This place hasn't changed one bit. Food is delicious, the ownership is the same (the same wonderful family own and operate this business) and the prices are practically the same! Hands down best bang for your buck. Honest work..... honest price. That's why this place is always busy. Check it out. When I ask the family what should we go for.... the answer is akways " mom , can we go to to village pita"

Amazing and very underrated family owned bakery. I have been coming here nearly my entire life and the quality of their food has remained incredible through good times and through bad. Pita bread is fresh and absolutely delicious, and their meat pies are hands down one of the most delicious lunches I’ve ever had. There’s sometimes a bit of a wait, but really it’s not a big deal and completely understandable seeing how busy they usually are. You can even order many of the dishes frozen, and keep them at home for lunch or dinner throughout the week. Love everything about this place.

I haven’t had any meat pies since I’ve moved here from Ontario In 2018. Being pregnant I started craving it out of no where and search the net and based on the reviews apparently this was the spot! Ppl were talking about coming there at the age of 7 now they’re bringing their kids so I said to myself I must try this spot. Today I came in. Got a couple of meat pies and before I can even drive off I had to try it for myself and I must say it was amazing. This will be my spot from now on

One of the best places for an awesome meal. A true hole in the wall that opens to a heavenly taste. I love the food, the family that runs the business and the generosity of the owners. The chicken pocket, the labneh (cream cheese i think) and the meat pie are great choices. I highly recommend this place and make sure you ask for olives with every meal (thought not the best olives, but still tasty) hope the owners maintain their prices and quality. again, best quality food for best value

All their dishes are a must try. Of course don't forget the pita bread (they also bake other variety of bread). There are 4 or 5 dishes that I thought only mom knows how to prepare! Most of all, their mini beef pies are a must try, usually packaged in 12-pc packages, and are great to take to a party. They are so good I am always tempted to keep them for myself, but instead, I give them to my friends who rave about them as well. Yummy Yum, thank you Village Pita Bakery

The food was good initially but I actually warmed up the food the next day and my family member was saying it had old beef smell and it tasted off. Also the employees have bad customer service. Some of them preparing the food were not even wearing masks. On top of that I heard some of the female employees talking/laughing and saying stuff about some of the customers in Arabic when they were trying to order, which was messed up. Not coming back here ever again.

Good food, good customer service, and very quick at getting fresh food ready for you. Alot of variety with zatar to Philly cheese stake. I had the Philly cheese stake and now, while writing this review I think that will be my lunch destination for today.Parking infront of the shop might be hard to find but alot of parking beside the shop. Enjoy good warm food and have a prefect start to the weekend.

Never recommend that place they are psycho, I went to there to pick up a pie they gave to me afer an hour and 35 minutes(one pie) every time I ask them about it they smile and shake their head, the girl and the other big guy they were just laughing, after that they brought the pie rockhard and it was cold, I just ate it because I can't throw food, In general stay away of these weirdos.

I had an Iranian business partner take me for meat pie here maybe 20 years ago now. And ever since I have been going back for those meat pies. Its a large pita with a meat spread served nice and warm and perfectly crispy but still soft inside. They give you olives to go with it and I recommend the hot sauce and lime juice added in moderation. It is outstanding. Highly recommended.

Best place for fresh delicious meat pies, cheese pie, potato,chicken pocket,steak and cheese made to order always fresh. They also carry middle eastern groceries and fresh every day the best pita bread. Hummus, dalmotas, tabhouli, these are all fabulous! This is truly a great experience if you've never been you have to try it, you'll be treated well by a wonderful friendly staff.

Very good prices for good quality and delicious food with great customer service. Very good selection of pies to choose from and all of them are very yummy! My personal favourite are Spinach & Feta and Zataar with 4 cheese. My kids love chicken, meat and cheese pies here. So we pretty much always get these 5 pies. They’re very busy lunch time so I usually try to go after 2pm.

This place holds a special place in my heart. My dad took my family here every once in a while to have meat pies. It’s the only thing we ever got because we all loved them. He passed some time ago but I took my family there the other day and got to enjoy the food. They also carry a nice small variety of food as well. I always love picking up canned goods while I am there.

Great customer service, so friendly and welcoming. We had the Spinach and Feta and the Mhammara with cheese. They came with delicious olives and fantastic house made hot sauce. Both were absolutely delicious and the pita is crispy yet chewy. We couldn’t resist taking home some whole wheat pitas for wraps. Highly recommend paying a visit to this friendly establishment.

Top place for Manakeesh in calgary. The topppest! The dough they use is immaculate. Perfect flavour and light. The cheese is delicious. The meat is out of this world. This is lebanese breakfast at its core! Manakeesh! If I could tell a store I love you I would. Thanks village pita! Also the beautiful lady working the cash gave me a piece of baklava to try. Thank you!

A nice older man in a suit greeted me and took my order for a meat pie. One short wait later and I was enjoying my pita in my car. A line had built up after I placed my food order even though it was 1:30pm. The pita was grilled to perfection - crispy crunchy. The meat spread perfectly complimented the pita. Definitely will be back to try the rest of the menu!

This hole in the wall is a hidden gem!!! Fresh made pitas are absolutely delicious. Even more delicious when you stay and have them with a meal. I highly recommend the meat and cheese pita, simply amazing. Service here is excellent, the staff are very friendly and took the time to explain to me the different selections. Clean establishment, mini cafe/deli.

Honestly the best place in Calgary to buy your fresh pita bread and pies. They are made fresh everyday with love. Love buying from this place because the amazing quality, service, and prices. Coming here will never be a regret as they make you feel you are in Lebanon eating a fresh pie in the sunset. would recommend this place and will always be returning.

Falafel was really good. But worst experience . I went there with my husband. There 5 men were sitting and chatting loud in their language (arabic) - - owner and his friends or family members they were rude. We wanted seat but Dddn't offer chairs . Three men's were stairing at us made us very uncomfortable. I don't recommend. WeI will never go back again.

I once loved this place - they have gone down hill Very Greasy pies and the women employees are unfriendly and have seen them roll their eyes at people who have to ask for anything and talk about you in their language- I KNOW THE LANGUAGE!! Olives are gross- wilted and taste old Have to ask for napkins Took my business elsewhere and won't be back!

Worth the drive! I grew up in the Middle East and this is my comfort food. My entire family lives for their pies. We make a the trek over there regularly. My kids could love on their cheese pies. The staff is and has always been lovely and welcoming. The place is charming. I have loved everything I have ever had from here. It’s a gem!

Delicious pita pies. Super helpful in helping us decide on order and offered to cut our pies in half so that we could share. Order comes with briny green olives. Large bottles of hot sauce and lemon juice on tables for you to add. Limited seating, but wasn't a problem for us as it looks like most people take food to go. Recommend.

Love this place. Friendly owner, fresh baked goodies. To me it does not get better. Big size pies and excellent taste on almost all the pies, I never got to try the Kishk - they seem to always out, or may be I come late. The cherry on top is the cup of olives they give you for free with your food. Nice touch. You'll love it.

Been comming here for years for the spinach or meat pies, amazing family run business that is surely gonna hit that hunger spot, stay in or take out they have a full menu, dont forget to grab a couple of bags of pita on your way out it's the best in town done right. Thank you all and see you again soon!

Didn’t know what to expect but our experience has been amazing. The food is lovely and delicious. I highly recommend. It’s a family that runs the place and they make everything with love. You have to try the pies to believe. I was able to catch a picture of the pie’s before they were long gone …

They make very good Maneesh/fatayer, note that they are very large in size compared to other places. They taste very good I would definitely recommend the spinach and cheese as well as the meat fatayer those are for sure the best two. The staff is also very sweet and friendly with customers.

Tasty pitas at a great price but service is disorganized and extremely slow. They lose track of who’s ordered what and who has paid if 3 or more customers. Need a number/ticket system like places like Edo have even if they have to number manually. Try here but only if you have lots of time

The staff is very friendly and helpful. If you are unfamiliar with Lebanese food, ask for a recommendation. I usually get a meat pie and a mahamurra with cheese pie. That’s a huge lunch. You could have 1 of those and be happy. Don’t forget to buy a bag of pitas. Very fresh and affordable.

For my entire life, they've been the same with the greasy, hairy everything. They can improve by wearing gloves, a beard/hair net and avoid the grease. They will never change and they ignore any kind of bad review. WELL BAKE is my go-to from now on, they're amazing 10/10. …

Been coming here a lot - food is great. Tonight the lady working automatically tipped herself $2 before even handing me the machine for tap. Also no hummus on order so I went back in to buy one.... Got home to see on receipt I was charged for it on original order. Not impressed.

Bad service ever if you want to order u need to book appointments from day before otherwise you need to wait 2 hours. Plus that tall guy they hiring too Lazy when you give him the order he didn't tell them in side to make it ready 1 star is to much for them …

Love this place....I used to hate lahmajeen until I tried theirs...now I'm addicted....everything so fresh ...I've tried few things now from there...they never let me down...very impressed. The service is awesome....and quick ...you don't wait long to get your fresh food.

I Loved cheese and steak pie. I also tried cute little meat pies which were yummy, but prefered the steak one.I wish they pay more attention to cleaning. At the first glance,the door was that much dirty I even didn't like to open it!!! but the inside was clean :)

I love going to Village Pita Bakery! The meat pie with veggies is wonderfully exotic with flavours! I look forward to getting many more and trying the other items on the menu. If they're half as good as the meat pie with veggies, I wouldn't be surprised!

Last week I bought Pita bread and it was so old bread not as I expected fresh, the olives in the big jars are the worst, the cheese was so salty and the manakesh weren’t the best. Definitely not happy with the experience and never going there again..

It has been over 20 years since we have visited Village Pita. Of course during that time the location has changed but the pitas are still as good as ever. Great place to stop for a quick lunch or to take pitas home. so glad we found the bakery again.

My mother and I discovered this place over a decade ago when I was still a kid! I've tried a few meatpies around the city, but the ones at Village Pita Bakery are hands down the best! They're always made fresh and their red hot sauce is delicious.

Great crispy pita only take out small selection

Meat Pies, Meat Pie with Veggies, Pita

Excellent pita bread - perhaps some of the freshest and best tasting pita I've ever had. The staff is also really friendly - they allowed me to come in and shop even though it was just past their closing time. I'll definitely be coming back!

We had a meat and a cheese pocket. They were delicious; tasted just like Grandma made them. There fatayer are also delicious. It's the best I've had in the city. Service is quick and the restaurant was busy, which is always a good sign.

Amazing since day one. Was 6 or 7 when my dad took me here for my first meat pie. Now many years later my kids are enjoying their first meat pies. Inshallah my grand kids will enjoy meat pies in years to come! Keep up the great work!

The best meat pies, spinach and cheese pies...you must try them with their in-house hot sauce. I wish they bottled and sold this sauce. Try their other baked goods. You will be stuffed and happy! Perfect lunch spot with free parking.

Thank you for sponsoring our event. Aside from the generosity of the owners, I come here weekly to stock up and bring meat pies to my mom & tot meet ups. It’s always a hit for every person at every age. Nowhere can beat this quality

I've been going to this bakery for years. The same deliciousness is always servered. Their steak & cheese pies are my favorite, a little on the thicker side though. A thin crust or somewhat of an healthier option would be more ideal

Deadly good. Ingredients must be authentic! Never had a better Mediterranean sandwich in my life. I ordered the chicken pita sandwich and my friend the steak and cheese. First time here - will be back. Good portions. Good service.

Stopped by here for lunch, my first time trying out their Pita pies. The steak and cheese was delicious!! The meat pie is massive - definitely good for sharing and for only $4.75!!! Definitely check them out if your in the area.

This is one of my favorite places to visit.. the staff are very friendly and the food is incredible. They have some great take out options.. and as some have mentioned the meat pies are amazing (make sure you get the hot sauce!)

I've been going to village pita for over 30 years...back when they were in the old Northgate village mall. They haven't changed at all, infact they keep getting better and better. Zaatar and Cheese is still my absolute favorite

Good Lunch Deli. They make flat bread pizza, empanadas and wraps. Selection of cold beverages All the fresh baked pita and fresh baked Afghani naan. Small selection of Mediterranean foods. Very busy so that tells you something.

This is a little hidden gem in Calgary. The best fresh pita's in town, and while you pick them up you must try the meat pie. The food is very simple but fresh, clean and prepared well, don't deprive yourself of this experience.

Best Pita!! And the meat pies are delicious!!

Beef Meat Pie, Pita

I have been going to Village Pita for 10+ years and am amazed at how consistently good their food is. The meat pies are the best in the city, period. Taste and texture are perfect every time. This is pure comfort food.

I’ve tried lots of places for zaatar and meat pies bit this one is the best! Since I tried this place I haven’t been to any other place. The pies are crispy, delicious and the prices are great. Totally recommended.

Very nice people! But not for manakeesh! We were 7 guys and no one liked it. Washroom’s light didn’t work, not enough seating area for more than three. It’s good for Arabic grocery shopping that’s pretty much it.

Best cheese pie soo faaar. Very delicious.

Cheese Pie

Been coming here for a while now, service is always good and food is amazing, you can never go wrong with the lahm ajeen here. Highly recommend for anyone looking to get lahm ajeen in Calgary this is the place.

I used their whole wheat pitas for a pita pizza tonight and oh my... THAT WAS THE BEST PITA PIZZA I HAD IN MY ENTIRE LIFE. These pitas are so good, you gotta buy some (and obviously their delicious hummus too).

Somewhat a hole in the wall if you don't know about it. Their baked goods are simply amazing! So fresh and tasty. Great to drop by and grab something quick to snack on. Decent location and ample parking space.

The eggplant is the best... anywhere, and the meat and spinach pies are amazing. I stop there at lunch to pick up supper, if I wait until after work they are usually sold out. And of course, awesome pitas.

I like the place for there delicious freshly done meat pies. They carry balady bread as well and other Mediterranean products. There meat pies remind me with Nineveh style meat pies. مثل لحم بعجين الجندول

I am coming to Village Pita since 1997 and still love the place like the first time I was there. Meat and potato pie is my fav. Prices are still very decent and you get free olives.. good job guys …

Had this for the first time today. Was aaaamazing. So filling. My friend brought me 3 different ones so I ate half of each. A meat and cheese. Spinach and feta. And cheese. Will return on my own soon !!

We got the meat as well as the cheese pie and both were delicious. Service was also great! The nice man at the till gave my kids some date bread. Highly recommend it and definitely will be back!

We've been coming here for years we moved and now come from out of town just to eat. The food is absolutely delicious and the customer service is like being with friends. The son is so friendly.

I love this place! The service is excellent! The food is oh so delicious! If you are on a budget buy the meat pie.. its cheap and really yummy! I love the employees... they are super friendly

Best Shish Taouk in the city! You have to order it ahead of time but definitely worth it. The Sujouk pie is a must try also. This bakery is a regular for us and the staff are very friendly.

The absolute best food in Calgary! You Ha e to go here, it's an institution. I've been going for 20 years and they make incredible food with even more options available now. You. Must. Go!

My favorite place for meat pies that are also halal. Small family owned location. Their bread is the freshest than of big box stores. Good source for common middle eastern grocery as well.

They have the best pies in Calgary!! Theyre always fresh and have the best taste. I can always count on them for a yummy breakfast or a snack when I'm in a rush. Great establishment …

Best man2esh in town ,especially the cheese pie. staff are friendly and nice , you can find a variety of Arabic stuff to buy from this place they are cheaper than others store as well

I've been going here since I was a kid and its maintained its quality, prices and has improved in the layout over the years too. Family run, so you can get to know the folks working.

Seriously delicious meat pies. The pita was perfect and the spices were great. As a first time customer the staff were very helpful! I would go out of my way to shop there again.

Love the pita from this place. They make a variety of authentic Lebanese fast food / finger food. I have tried almost all of it over the years and I always had a good experience.

First visit. Had a meat pie & was impressed. I want to go back and try some others from the menu that sound good. I also got some fresh hummus and of course pita bread. Thanks!

Freshest and best Pita Bread in town! They also have the best Meat Pies, Zataar pies and cheese pies. The prices are great and the staff is amazing. Highly recommend to all.

I've been eating here for over 20 years for a reason. A great family owned business with tasty and fresh eats. The meat pie and the olives are my faves. Great sweets too.

The best meat pies in Calgary bar none! Generously portioned, well seasoned and are heavenly when eaten freshly out the oven. Very reasonably priced and friendly service.

Excellent customer service, friendly and helpful! Hot snacks and wraps especially the spinach &feta and the steak & cheese yummy good! Highly recommended …

Best spot in Calgary hands down ! Great service and the food is really good and authentic specially the cheese and meat pies. I would highly recommend you trying it out.

This is a very traditional Arabic bakery. The best meat and cheese pies you can find in Calgary. There is no space to sit down so I truly recommend you to order to go.

Love this pita place! Have been coming here since I was a kid. The owners are the nicest people and the prices are great - try the meat pies , they're the best …

Excellent Supplier of fresh and affordable pita bread. Better than byblos.. by a long shot. They also serve lunch in forms of authentic lebanese oven baked thin pies.

Delicious fast and affordable place for lunch. I usually get the meat pie, zatar, or spinach and feta. Haven't tried the other options but they look really good too.

You gotta try Cheese pie(KadaSirk in Kurdish) and meat pie, best test, quality and price. Freindly staff, Anytime we visit Calgary this is one of must go to Bakery.

A must. For high quality bakery . The bread is fresh. The meat pies soooo good. There deserts are so tasty. I stop there all the time. Good service. Great staff.

Delicious fresh pitas and meat pies. We always go there when we are in the area and all my chicken nugget eating toddlers love the meat pies just as much as I do

Friendly and generous counter staff. Every time we’ve visited, they have treated us with something new to try for free! The breads are fresh and and delicious.

I love the meat pies, especially with the lemon juice they provide with it. The traditional breads are always fresh and seem like they're right out of the oven

It's very hearty Lebanese food, good for a quick snack or lunch, maybe dinner if you have two like me. My favorite it's the cheese pie and the spinach and feta

It’s actually the best place to have Fatayer in Calgary! The crust and flavours are on point! They serve you olives with your pie... fresh baked all the time

Yum yum yum. Great Mediterranean fast food. Spinach and feta pizza, chicken wrap, mango juice and it's a great lunch. Great value, great food. A good choice.

Delicious meat pies and Zaatar pies (a thyme mixture great for vegetarians). Very consistent quality and taste since first trying them almost 14 years ago.

I've been going here since they opened. Best place to go for meat pies I really enjoy the za'atar and cheese. Service is always prompt and friendly A++

Great place to buy a hot meat, zaatar or cheese pie. Fresh out of the oven. Good selection of middle eastern products too and always fresh pita bread.

The best meat pies in Calgary. Run by a lovely family, they make you feel welcome and serve you efficiently. Great selection. You gotta eat here!!!

Food is amazing, tried for the very first time! Great customer service!!! walked in and the server greeted me and also explained the types of pita!
