National Pita Day is observed worldwide every March 29, celebrating pita, a yeast-leavened flatbread popular in Mediterranean and Levantine cuisines. The holiday honors both types of pita: those with an interior pocket, known as Arabic bread, and those without, sometimes referred to as Greek bread. People typically enjoy pita by using it to scoop dips like hummus and baba ghanoush or as a wrap for various dishes, including gyros and shawarma. Although the origins of National Pita Day are unclear, it has gained popularity on social media since at least 2021 and is celebrated by fast food establishments in the United States and Canada. To mark the occasion, individuals may purchase pitas or bake their own at home, often sharing their experiences on social media with the hashtag #NationalPitaDay.
