High Risk NYC Grade: Pending

Pita Grill has been inspected three times since 2023. Inspectors last stopped by on Mar 16, 2026. Diners may want to take note: high risk reflects issues that a health inspector considered important.

The trend has not been favorable: recent inspections average around six violations each, up from closer to two violations before.

Looking across the full record, “hot TCS food item not held at or above 140 °F” is the recurring theme, flagged two times.

Compared to other Manhattan restaurants (averaging 77), there's room to close the gap. There are enough flags in the record to merit a second thought.
