Gyro Sandwich

Gyro Sandwich

Everyday

Gyro is a traditional Greek sandwich featuring seasoned, thinly sliced meat—typically a lamb and beef blend—served in pita bread with fresh vegetables and tzatziki sauce. The meat is vertically roasted on a rotisserie, creating a contrast between crispy exterior and tender interior while concentrating flavors. This protein-rich dish derives significant saturated fat from both the meat and creamy yogurt-based sauce, with sodium levels heightened by seasonings and sauces. Traditional gyros use wheat-based pita and dairy-containing tzatziki, requiring modifications for gluten-free or lactose-intolerant diets.
