The Pita Pit in Decatur opened today, December 2, 2010 and was featured on the Decatur Metro, local site for community news. Long time Pita fan, Derek Kellermann and Hose Divani, after two years of looking for the perfect location opened the Pita Pit in Decatur to bring healthy options to an area that is physically active and health conscious. In addition, Decatur provided the perfect location close to Emory University and Agnes Scott College to offer affordable food choices all day long. The Pita Pit will be open from 7:00 a.m. until 10:00 p.m. is delivering throughout the area to reach both campuses and residential neighborhoods.
