## Story

“We are thrilled to be opening our new location in such a highly coveted area and further expanding our New York footprint into a new area of Manhattan,” said co-founder Dave Presso. “We are very fortunate to have this opportunity to expand during such pressing times, and we look forward to introducing the Upper East Side to The Hummus & Pita Co.”

Since 2011, the Brooklyn-born Hummus & Pita Co. has been delivering guilt-free, homemade cuisine to the masses. The concept has taken the best dishes from all over the Mediterranean region, including recipes that have been passed down generation to generation, and built a seamless menu that works for all taste and dietary preferences.

All menu items are made from scratch on the premises at each location, using only the freshest ingredients available to ensure high-quality, flavor-focused eats for every guest. The fast casual leader stands out from other Mediterranean concepts for its freshly-baked pita and laffa breads, wide variety of innovative vegetarian and vegan dishes, meats cooked in a traditional taboon oven, and signature hummus-based dessert offerings like the Chickpea Chiller, which has been recognized by national media outlets including ABC’s The Chew, People Magazine, Business Insider, PopSugar, and more.

The Hummus & Pita Co.’s Upper East Side location will be open Monday - Saturday 11:00 AM - 08:00 PM and Sunday from 11:00 AM - 08:00 PM for dine in, takeout, and delivery. Advanced ordering is available through the app which can be downloaded in the Apple Store or on Google Play. Additionally, a wide variety of catering services featuring The Hummus & Pita Co’s favorite Mediterranean eats will be available to accommodate events or parties of any size, including individual packaged catering meals.
