This month, Pita Jungle debuted its latest “Seasonal Kitchen Crafts Menu,” inviting folks to throw it back and dip into the restaurant’s menus of yesteryear. 

The new/old seasonal menu titled “Bites from the Past” features a group of Mediterranean-inspired dishes with “light, fresh, and unprocessed ingredients inspired by the celebration of 30 years of Pita Jungle in Arizona.” Plus, they’ve added some fan-favorite dishes and newly inspired creations.
