The Counter That Montclair Built Its Lunch Around
A small storefront on Church Street — easy to walk past, impossible to forget. Beyond Pita has been quietly doing one thing exceptionally well since 2009.

Twenty Nine and Still Lining Up
Some of the best places are the ones you have to know about — and Montclair has voted with its feet since 1997. The line at the counter tells the whole story.
Recognized by the Community
Beyond Pita has earned the attention of local press and neighbors alike. Featured in The Montclair Times, Chef Jerry Sayigh's commitment to fresh, from-scratch cooking and authentic family recipes has made this small counter a standout in one of New Jersey's most food-savvy towns.
A Small Spot With a Big Following
Compact and easy to miss, Beyond Pita sits right in the middle of one of New Jersey's most walkable downtowns. The crowd already knows where to find it.
Three Things, Done Right
The menu centers on chicken kabob, shawarma, and falafel — and the kitchen treats every one like it matters. The depth of flavor and the size of the portions make the priorities clear.
No Seats, No Problem
No dining room, no décor — just a counter, a menu board, and food made to be carried out and eaten immediately. Counter service isn't a limitation; it's the whole point.
A Neighborhood Institution
Steps from The Wellmont Theater and surrounded by independent shops, Beyond Pita fits naturally into a downtown built on character. This one has been earning its loyalty every day for over fifteen years.
