The House of Pita: Fresh, Flavorful Mediterranean Eats in Downtown Stockton

By Sungyeon Park

The House of Pita is a Mediterranean restaurant located at the Waterfront Warehouse – 445 Weber Avenue, #126 – in Downtown Stockton. Opened in September 2024, this new dining spot is already winning over customers with its flavorful dishes and inviting atmosphere. Known for its popular spicy garlic pasta and chicken shawarma, the restaurant also offers flexible menu options depending on different diets, including vegetarian and vegan choices. All chicken and gyro meat served here are halal, making it an excellent choice for those seeking halal-certified meals. Additionally, they serve a variety of drinks with a stylish bar area, making it a perfect place for dinner.

Bringing The House of Pita to Downtown Stockton was a personal decision for the owner, who is originally from Stockton and wanted to share her love for Mediterranean cuisine with the community. The restaurant’s location at the Waterfront Warehouse adds to its charm, offering beautiful waterfront views. Dining on the patio offers a great view of the Stockton Arena and Banner Island Ballpark, making it a perfect spot to enjoy your meal.

The House of Pita has exciting plans for the future! Live music performances will be held on the patio during spring and summer, making a lively dining experience. Customers can also enjoy weekend specials, happy hour deals every day, and Taco Tuesdays. The owner is also planning to launch Sunday brunch, expanding the menu even further. She encourages the community to explore what Downtown Stockton has to offer, saying, “Support small businesses in the downtown area! Come and visit the downtown waterfront and enjoy Mediterranean food, from kebabs to pasta.”

If you’ve never tried Mediterranean food before, she has one simple message: “Give it a try! Mediterranean food is healthy, and we have something for everyone.”
