History
Established in 2006.
M. Yahya “Medy” Sanadidi, PhD, a professor of computer science at UCLA, founded Bella Pita in 2006 in partnership with his son, Ezedin Sanadidi. Originally from Egypt, they were thrilled to find growing demand for Mediterranean cuisine everywhere they traveled. After years of perfecting some of the current Bella Pita menu items at home (2003 to 2006), Bella Pita opened its doors for customers at its first location at 960 Gayley Ave in March of 2007. A second location at 3013 S Figueroa Street, close to USC, started to provide the same menu in September 2013.

8 months agoBella Pita is right near UCLA. Parking is for a fee and can get pricey. The food is amazing. They have the best pita sandwiches, all made to order and all served warm with fresh pita bread. We Love the kind service and they are fast. You order and pay at the counter and there are a few indoor seats to eat. Many people get it as take away. There is not one thing we don't like there. The prices are fair. Have fun.

a month agoWhen I first asked if they had anything vegan they said no! And then when I asked if their falafel, Hummus, garlic sauce and hot sauce is vegan, they said yes, lol. Tasty and reasonable. Had the falafel sandwich.

a year agoI really liked this place! The prices are reasonable (around $10-13), and the food is fresh. The restaurant staff were also very warm and friendly. We ordered the classic falafel pitas and a falafel bowl; getting to add our own toppings and sauces was a creative idea!

a year agoFast and fresh and affordable. I usually get the chicken wowshi (hot and crunchy baked to order pita). They have a toppings and sauce bar where you can load up on your fav combos. More of a grab and go place since there's 3 seats total inside.

2 years agoThe very best on Gayley ave SO FAR! The small portions keep me in shape and fill my body with nutrients needed to still go to class while not too stuffed and full; ready for nap time. I went in asking for a plate and they suggested the Wowshi and im glad. Rice makes me sleepy lol
