Pitogyros Traditional Grill House is a casual, charcoal-focused grill in Oia, Santorini, specializing in pita gyros, souvlaki, kebab and handmade sausages. In a village known for expensive sunset dining, it offers a quick, filling and reasonably priced Greek meal, and travelers seek it out for exactly that reason.
The kitchen cooks over a charcoal grill, which gives the souvlaki skewers, kebabs and pork steaks a smoky char. Pita gyros is the core order, wrapped and ready for the terrace or for takeaway (Pitogyros). Vegetarians can choose from Greek salads and meat-free pitas. The menu lists a classic Greek salad with feta and extra virgin olive oil at €11.90 and a tangy politiki cabbage salad at €9.40. To drink, there is draught Greek beer, wine and local beverages. The setting is relaxed and unfussy, and the 4.7 rating comes mainly from portion size, flavor and value.
Visitor Highlights & Practical Info
The restaurant does not take reservations in the usual way. Speak to the cashier to join the waiting list for a seat or to place a takeaway order (Tripadvisor). Tables fill quickly from June through September, especially in the hour before sunset, when crowds pour into Oia. For a shorter wait, arrive for an early lunch or eat after the sunset rush. Couples on a budget can order gyros to go and eat them at a viewpoint along the caldera path.
