Why Choose Extreme Pita?
As Alex Rechichi pointed out when he first founded Extreme Pita, the sandwich business is booming and not going anywhere. However, though the sandwich business is booming, there aren't a lot of fresh, healthy and fast sandwich options, hence the pita.
Pitas are inherently healthier than bread, but what sets Extreme Pita apart is its dedication to fresh, high-quality stuffings. Customers, when they order an Extreme Pita pita, know they're going to get a filling and flavorful wrap they can feel good about. These pita wraps are less about the bread, unlike many sandwiches, and more about what goes into them. This is evident in the brand's Signature Pita Menu, which includes Thai Chicken, Buffalo Chicken, BBQ Steak and Chipotle Chicken.
In addition to a reputation for delivering high-quality food products, Extreme Pita has 20 plus years of franchisor experience backing it. Its current parent, MTY Franchising USA, offers top-notch training and ongoing support to all franchisees.

History
Brothers Alex and Mark Rechichi, both entrepreneurial by nature, founded extreme Pita in 1997 after raising $60,000 through odd-jobs, which also happened to put them both through school. They opened their first outlet in Waterloo, Ontario in Canada.
For the first two years after opening the first store, Alex worked as a sales associate for an industrial supply company. However, in late 1998, he decided to focus exclusively on Extreme Pita and quit his job to invest 100 percent of his time into his business. A year later, Mark, an accountant, joined the company full-time.
Since then, the pair have opened 200 outlets across Canada and expanded into the United States. The brand differentiates itself from other sandwich joints by sautéing meats and vegetables on the grill rather than in oil on the stove and steering clear of processed meats and cheeses. All sauces are low in fat.
Extreme Pita incorporated in the U.S. in 2001.
