T

al Sasson, 33, was born 
in Tel Aviv, Israel, and 
moved to America 
almost 10 years ago. Sasson is 
the proud owner of the Pita 
Post food trucks but still held 
onto his dream of owning 
his own brick-and-mortar 
restaurant.
Sasson started his first 
Pita Post food truck in 2013, 
beginning his journey to 
restaurant ownership. Sasson 
took the Pita Post food truck 
around the state of Michigan, 
attending festivals, serving 
lunch at office complexes and 
providing catering. The Pita 
Post is also a permanent food 
truck at the Detroit Fleet in 
Ferndale.
The chance to open his own 
brick-and-mortar restaurant 
finally presented itself at the 
Maple Theater in Bloomfield 
Township.
“We knew Bloomfield very 
well and knew that it was the 
best territory for our food,
” 
Sasson said. “The owners 
(Jon and Lauren Goldstein) 
used to book our food truck 
for events, and they gave us 
the opportunity to showcase 
our food here, and we’
re very 
thankful for this partnership.
”
Customers came out and 
celebrated Sasson’
s opening 
of the Pita Post at the Maple 
Theater on Nov. 20. “The 
turnout was better than 
expected and now our 
customers are able to enjoy 
our food all year-round,
” 
Sasson said.
The Pita Post restaurant 
serves the same fresh 

and healthy “modern” 
Mediterranean cuisine that 
customers have grown to love 
from his food trucks. But, 
Sasson has spiced it up and 
has added some new items to 
the menu. He is also planning 
to incorporate special meals 
on certain days and begin 
hosting brunches on Sundays. 
“We put our own twist 
on our ingredients and our 
presentation,
” Sasson said. “We 
also pride ourselves on our 
pocket pitas, which are not 
like the wraps you see at most 
places. Our pita is also hand-
crafted and is all-natural with 
no preservatives.
” 
Sasson still plans to run 
the Pita Post food trucks 
throughout the summer, but 
until then, be sure to check out 
the new brick-and-mortar.
