We just heard that Pita Jungle, which has a collection of Mediterranean-smoothie fusion cafés in the Phoenix area, is planning on opening a Tucson branch in the old 58 Degrees & Holding location at Williams Center, Broadway Boulevard and Craycroft Avenue.

Andy Seleznov of Larsen Baker tells us the restaurant is optimistic about an April opening, but there’s remodeling to be done.

We dig the tasty, healthy and affordable menu. Our pals at Phoenix New Times named it Best Vegetarian and Best Restaurant for Kids this year. If you’re not familiar, get a taste here.

    Well, Jim Nintzel, Red Star is not familiar at that place…

  2. I fear people will go to Pita Jungle expecting Pita Pit prices. That’s what I think of when I see Pita in a shop’s name anyhow — perhaps I’m insulated from the wide world of pitas.
