Fresh, Flavorful Mediterranean Just Steps From the Action

Located right off University Drive in the heart of downtown Tempe, Pita Jungle is a laid-back, health-conscious spot known for its vibrant Mediterranean flavors and welcoming atmosphere. With a relaxed, artsy vibe and plenty of indoor and patio seating, it’s a favorite for locals and visitors looking for something fresh, fast, and flavorful before a night out.

The menu is packed with plant-forward dishes, lean proteins, and creative sides—from hummus platters and falafel to grilled salmon and lavash wraps. Whether you're grabbing a quick bite or settling in for a relaxed meal, this spot makes it easy to fuel up without slowing down.

Why Concert-goers love it

Just a short walk from Tempe’s major concert venues, Pita Jungle is ideal for a pre-show meal that won’t weigh you down.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that it can get busy during peak hours, especially on weekends or when there’s a show nearby. While the food comes out relatively fast, you might have to wait a few minutes for a table. Parking can sometimes be tricky near downtown Tempe, so consider arriving a bit early or using a rideshare.

The Bottom Line

For a healthy, satisfying bite just minutes from Tempe's top music venues, Pita Jungle hits all the right notes.
