EXECUTIVE TEAM

The key to Extreme Pita's ongoing success has been its people. Co-Founder's and owner Alex and Mark Rechichi have added an energetic, seasoned group of managers and now, Extreme Pita is a Popular Pita, with nearly 200 locations across Canada and the U.S. with plans for Extreme Expansion throughout the next several years. We believe this is due to one fundamental belief:

"Think like a customer, deliver outstanding food value and work closely with our partners."
