The Apollo takes The Classic to new heights. 💙

If you like a little kick with your Real Greek Street Food, the Apollo is the one for you. Built with our flame-grilled Chicken Souvlaki, Zesty Tzatziki, fresh tomatoes, red onions, hand-cut fries, and Feta cheese, it’s fresh, bold, and just the right amount of spice. 🌶️🥙

Every Chicken Souvlaki skewer is grilled fresh to order, bringing smoky, juicy flavor to every bite. Paired with our warm pita and house-made sauces, it’s easy to see why the Apollo has become a favorite for anyone looking to switch things up from the classics.

Looking for even more flavor? Pair it with Greek Fries and don’t forget to grab a side of Tzatziki for dipping.

Stop in and give the Apollo a try today! 🇬🇷

It’s been just over two weeks since we got back from vacation, and we just wanted to say thank you. We’ve loved seeing so many familiar faces back in the restaurant and getting back to doing what we love most: serving Real Greek Street Food. 🇬🇷💙

A few quick updates:

• We won’t be at Celebrate Lancaster this year, but it’s always a great event with amazing local food, vendors, and businesses. Be sure to check it out! Our restaurant will be open all day if you’re craving your favorite Pita sandwich, bowl, or fries.

• We will, however, be Beer Fest the following week, so come find us and say hello!

• Catering is back in full swing. If you have weddings, office lunches, parties, or other events coming up, we’d recommend booking early to lock in your date.

• Lastly, the Portokalopita has been incredibly popular, so thank you! With that just know that if we’re sold out when you stop in, know we’re restocking as quickly as we can to keep up!

We can’t wait to see everyone throughout the rest of the summer. Thank you for continuing to support Souvlaki Boys. 💙

Portokalopita is one of those desserts you just have to try for yourself 🍊

Flaky phyllo, bright orange flavor, and that perfectly syrupy finish in every bite.

If you know, you know. And if you don’t… this is your sign to stop in and try it. 🇬🇷

The Athena has always been a wise decision, and a customer favorite 💙

You can make the Athena, or any of our Signature Pita Sandwiches, into a Greek Bowl for days when you want all the flavor of your favorite pita sandwich, but over a bed of rice, fries, or lettuce instead 🥙➡️🥣

Topped with spring greens, tomatoes, cucumbers, red onions, Feta cheese, our House-Made Tzatziki, and your choice of protein, the Athena Bowl brings together the bright, fresh flavors that make Real Greek Street Food so memorable.

Whether you choose our traditional Gyro, carved fresh from the rotisserie, our flame-grilled Chicken Souvlaki, or one of our other protein options, the Athena Bowl is one of those meals that is as fresh as it is filling. We suggest trying it with Grilled Halloumi next time! 😊

Stop in and try it today! 🇬🇷

At Souvlaki Boys, we love sharing a little Greek education alongside the food itself 🇬🇷

So here’s the breakdown for 3 of the most important words in Greek Street Food:

Gyro (YEE-roh) refers to the meat (& how it’s cooked).
Traditionally in Greece, Gyro refers specifically to the seasoned meat cooked on a vertical rotisserie. It slowly spins while roasting, then is shaved thinly from the spit and set as the centerpiece of your favorite pita or plate. The overwhelming majority of places in Greece serve pork as their standard Gyro meat. We proudly do the same, using local pork from Groff Meats in Elizabethtown.

Souvlaki (soo-VLAH-key) is skewered meat.
Usually pork or chicken grilled on a skewer over open flame. Order it to eat off the stick, or put it in your favorite pita. ** Bonus ** Souvlaki is also often used as a general term, referring to Greek Street Food as a whole.

PITA (PEE-tah) is the sandwich itself. It’s also the flatbread used to wrap all the goods together.

So the Pita Sandwich is the warm pita wrapped around Gyro or Souvlaki with toppings, sauces, veggies, fries, and everything else that makes it magic.

In Greece, you’d typically order a “Pita Gyro” or “Pita Souvlaki,” because the pita is the sandwich and the protein is what’s inside it.

In the U.S, over time, many people started calling the entire sandwich a “gyro,” which makes sense because that’s how most people here were introduced to it. You’ll hear both depending on where you are.

At Souvlaki Boys, we keep the traditional wording because we are committed to an authentic Greek experience and want to keep the culture and meaning behind the food. Plus, we think it’s worth sharing this bit of knowledge with the wonderful people who choose to dine with us.

So when you order here, or on vacation in Greece, remember this:

Gyro = vertical rotisserie-roasted pork
Souvlaki = grilled, skewered meat
Pita = the sandwich (also the bread itself)

Same delicious meal. Just a little more Greek food knowledge to go with it 💙
