NYC's Best Pita Maker Shares His Recipe for Soft Sourdough Pita | Food Curated

Discover NYC's Best Pita Maker: Pomp & Circumstance 🥙

Welcome to Pomp & Circumstance, a hidden gem in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, where the art of pita-making reaches new heights. Known for their incredible sourdough pitas, Pomp & Circumstance offers two unique styles: Rye Sourdough Pita and Seeded Semolina Pita. These pitas are soft, fluffy, and tangy, boasting perfect rounded domes with crisp, burnt edges. Located across from the Lorimer stop on the L train, this Middle Eastern and Italian inspired restaurant has quickly become a favorite among locals and pita lovers for its exceptional quality and flavor.

Pomp & Circumstance, affectionately known as P&C, was opened in 2019 by Chef James Ahearn and his wife Melissa Morales. The name "Pomp & Circumstance" reflects their philosophy that every meal should be a great celebration. After years of working in large restaurants, they went after their dream to build a smaller, more intimate dining experience focused on detail and product. Their vision stems from James's Armenian and Sicilian heritage, bringing together flavors and ingredients that seamlessly complement and celebrate both cultures.

At Pomp & Circumstance, the commitment to quality is evident in every dish. They serve natural wine, savory mezze dips, handmade Italian pasta, fresh seafood, game meats, and savory cocktails designed to pair perfectly with their unique cuisine. Here, everything is made from scratch, including their famous pita which is made to order and lands steaming hot at your table. Don't miss the chance to experience the tastiest and most pillowy pita in NYC. (We swear by it.) Enjoy the story behind Pomp & Circumstance and discover what makes their sourdough pitas so special!
