Product Description
Product Description
The standard 18 cm round. The pita that fits every pan, wrap, and fridge.
Stamatis pita bread in the 18 cm format is the everyday round — the size that works for a single wrap, fits a standard dry pan without trimming, and goes into the freezer as individual pieces without wasting half a pack. This is the pita you will find stacked at every souvlatzidiko in Athens: the neighbourhood souvlaki shops where the grill runs from midday to midnight. Not a supermarket approximation. The same bread, made the same way: stretched entirely by hand, round after round, which is why no two look exactly alike. That slight irregularity in shape is not a flaw. It is the mark of a pita that has not been fed through a machine.
The texture reflects that process. Soft but with structure: enough give to wrap cleanly without cracking, enough body to hold a generous filling without going limp. Warmed on a grill or a dry pan for thirty seconds, it develops a light toasted note on the surface and stays pliable and warm through the whole meal. No preservatives. No artificial additives. Vegan-friendly.
How to use it
- Classic souvlaki wrap — grilled pork or chicken, tzatziki, tomato, onion, and paprika-dusted fries, wrapped tight and eaten in hand, as they do it in Athens
- Single-portion wrap, any filling — the 18 cm round is the right size for one person: falafel, roasted vegetables, halloumi, eggs, whatever the fridge offers
- Meze and dips table — torn and served alongside hummus, taramosalata, melitzanosalata, or any spread worth eating with your hands
- Grilled flatbread base — brush with olive oil, grill briefly, top with feta, cherry tomatoes, and dried oregano
- Freezer staple, used one at a time — separate rounds before freezing; heat each one directly from frozen on a dry pan in under two minutes, no thawing needed, no waste

Storage guide: getting the most out of each round.
This pita is preservative-free, which means the storage method determines how long it stays at its best. The 18 cm format is particularly well suited to freezer use: ten individual rounds that can be taken out one at a time, with no need to defrost the entire pack.
How to store it correctly:
- At room temperature: keep in the original sealed packaging, away from heat and direct light. Consume within 3 days of opening.
- In the refrigerator (0–4°C): extends shelf life to 6 days. Keep sealed or in an airtight container to prevent drying.
- In the freezer (–18°C): up to 12 months. Separate rounds before freezing so you can take them out individually. Store in the original packaging or in a resealable bag.
Freshness timeline:
- Sealed, at room temperature: up to 3 days
- Sealed or well-wrapped, refrigerated: up to 6 days
- Frozen: up to 12 months — quality fully preserved
How to heat from frozen — the one rule that matters:
Do not thaw before heating. Place the pita directly from the freezer onto a hot, dry pan, grill, or barbecue. It will warm through in 1–2 minutes per side. Thawing first and then reheating results in a softer, less structured pita. Straight from frozen gives the best result, and the 18 cm size means it heats evenly in a standard pan with no overhang.
Product details:
- Format: 10 hand-stretched rounds, 18 cm diameter each
- Brand: Stamatis
- Origin: Greece
- Allergens: contains gluten. May contain traces of soya, mustard, celery, lupine, and sesame.
- Suitable for: vegans and vegetarians
Each round is stretched by hand, which is why the shape varies slightly from piece to piece — the clearest sign that no machine was involved.
