I had to drop by Stehly Farms on Morena and as I parked my car I really couldn't believe my eyes…..
In the location that used to be Little Caesars Pizza I saw the "Coming Soon" sign…..followed by Zgara Greek Grill! Could it be? Zgara when it opened in PB was a weekly stop; for real-deal gyro…not the processed stuff, but made from scratch….the best I've had outside of Greece. I was quite sad when they closed.
So, still dealing with the sadness that Island Style Cafe is closing, perhaps this balances the books for now?
In case you don't remember what the Pork Gyro Sandwich at Zgara looked like; here's a reminder.
I'm waiting with bated breath. Here's hoping…..
1229 Morena Blvd.
San Diego, CA 92110
Interesting… that stretch of road seems to constantly accumulate stops for me… Catalina OP, Stehly, and Costco a bit down the road. Add in a good gyro establishment and I might have to spend a whole morning + lunch down there! I still reminisce about the gyros I had in Athens 20 yrs ago.
Oh man,i literally started salivating reading this. I LOVED their pork. Definitely tentatively excited.
hmmm…would be nice if they are opening:)
Don’t forget Birdrock Jason…..lots of changes coming to Morena in the next couple of years.
I was surprised to see the sign Derek…..now I’m kinda excited too!
It really would be Kat!
Great looking sandwich! I visited Island Style Cafe yesterday. I’m gonna miss the kalbi, fried rice, and shaved ice.
I’m hoping ISC finds a new home soon Soo. Zgara, when they were in PB was my go-to for Gyros. hopefully, this place will be just as good!
Great news!
Yes it is Jan!
Oh man. That gyro looks like the good stuff I used to get when I lived in Astoria, Queens. I haven’t had a gyro that good in many, many years.
This would be fantastic. Zgara made it basically impossible for me to enjoy the beef-lamb type of gyros offered at places around town, so I would be happy to frequent their restaurant. In an easier to get to place, even!
They used to make some really good stuff Dave!
This is really great news Derric….man, I really missed the gyros when Zgara closed.
Awesome! Definitely an upgrade over Little Caesars!
Not even in the same league Junichi! ;o) I’m hoping they are just as good as I remember!
Awesome news! Thanks Kirk
Yes, I’m excited about Zgara reopening Kerri. I hope it’s as good as I remember. Hope all is well! Take care!
Looks like it may open as early as 8/13 or 8/14
That’s awesome Stacy! Thanks for the update.
That’s the same owner and it’ll be the same good gyro 😋😋
Thanks for the info Arben!
