Pita Pit Launches Resolution Solution Campaign to Cater to Health-Conscious Consumers

National Chain Continues Work with 'Healthy Dining' to Offer Guests Healthier Menu Options

Coeur d’Alene, Idaho (PRWEB) January 06, 2014 - Throughout its nearly 20-year history, Pita Pit has maintained its category lead as a healthy alternative to fast food by encouraging consumers to feel good about what they eat and offering better-for-you options. Through its work with 'Healthy Dining', Pita Pit aims to provide consumers with simpler solutions and healthy choices when dining out.

"We want to accommodate consumers who want to maintain a healthy lifestyle but still enjoy the convenience of dining out," said Peter Riggs, VP of Brand Promotion for Pita Pit. "Through our partnership with 'Healthy Dining', we are able to provide consumers the opportunity to customize their own pitas for their caloric needs."

Endorsed by 'Healthy Dining', this year’s campaign allows guests to build their own pitas through three simple steps: pick a pita, choose five toppings, and select one preferred sauce.

"Our ample menu includes protein heavy options as well as vegetarian options and we’re thrilled to be able to provide dietitian-approved selections while maintaining fresh and refined options."

Other Pita Pit options included on the 'Healthy Dining'’s website have all gone through a nutritional analysis conducted by 'Healthy Dining' registered dieticians, which helps ensure every option has a good source of nutrients.

"By joining 'Healthy Dining', we’re able to better educate our customers about the numerous low-fat and low-calorie options that we have at Pita Pit," Riggs added.
