Pita Grill, the Lebanese purveyor of shawarma in Irvine that we highlighted in an Eat This Now post a few weeks ago and in our current print issue, has suddenly shuttered.
According to a comment I received from a reader this weekend, Pita Grill's last day was last Sunday. When I went to check it out yesterday, the signage has been removed from the building and the windows blacked out.

Though phone calls made to the store have been unanswered, the commenter on my personal blog, Monster Munching, said that, “According to one of the employees, they might re-open in a month or so somewhere on 17th Street in Tustin.”
