Construction Begins on Pita Inn: First Chicago Location Takes Shape at Six Corners

By Socialhood News · Il/Chicago/Portage Park · November 27, 2025

Exciting progress is underway at Six Corners as construction officially begins on Portage Park's newest dining destination. Permits were issued on November 7th for the highly anticipated Pita Inn restaurant at 4045 North Cicero Avenue, marking a significant milestone for this popular Mediterranean chain's first Chicago location.

The core and shell permit allows developers to start construction on the restaurant space, which is part of the larger Six Corners redevelopment project on the former Sears Auto Center site. The development will also feature a Burlington department store and a Wells Fargo branch, bringing fresh dining and shopping options to the neighborhood. The Mediterranean restaurant chain currently operates five suburban locations and has built a strong reputation for its authentic cuisine, making this expansion into Portage Park a welcome addition to the area's growing dining scene.

Residents eager to follow this exciting development can attend the next Portage Park Advisory Council meeting on Monday, November 24th from 7:00 to 8:30 PM for more information. As construction progresses, this project represents another positive step in the ongoing revitalization of the Six Corners shopping district, reinforcing Portage Park's status as a vibrant destination for local dining and retail experiences.
