Once a year it’s officially all about pita, and Pita Jungle is celebrating big this year for “National Pita Day” on Friday, March 29.
In addition to the national holiday it’s also Pita Jungle’s 25th anniversary, and it’s running a promotion called “The Golden Pita.”
Think of it as a Willy Wonka-inspired event because everyone will have the chance to win prizes if they’re lucky enough to score a special golden wrapper. The golden wrapper will be hidden under the regular wrappers, so you’ll need to be on the lookout.
For one lucky winner, the grand prize is food from Pita Jungle for an entire year. There will also be 24 other winners throughout Arizona who could win $50 in Pita Dough (a Pita Jungle gift certificate).
The prizes are only valid with dine-in orders on National Pita Day.
Also if you’ve won, don’t storm out and proceed to dance in the streets with excitement because you’ve got to let management know you’ve won before leaving.
There are two Pita Jungle locations in Tucson found at 5340 E. Broadway Blvd. and 7090 N. Oracle Rd. For more information, visit pitajungle.com.

More about MattAt a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.
He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.
