Mediterranean Gyros Products

What Mediterranean Gyros Products does

Mediterranean Gyros Products Inc., operating as Mediterranean Pita, is a privately held U.S. food manufacturer, importer, and specialty distributor of authentic Mediterranean and Greek food products, founded in 1964 and headquartered at 11-02 38th Avenue, Long Island City, New York, with 51–100 employees. The company operates as a 'Total Meal Solutions' provider, distributing an in-house bakery line (pita, flatbread, specialty bread, phyllo dough) alongside imported and manufactured SKUs organized around gyro meat, Greek cheeses (Roussas), olive oils (Artemis, ELEON), pasta (Misco), phyllo pastries (Akropolis), desserts (Rodoula), beverages (Zagori water, El Greco coffee), plant-based alternatives (Mega Meatless), olives, spreads, frozen vegetables, and Greek yogurt under roughly 15 featured brands including a Mediterranean house brand and the partner brand Corfu Foods.

The business model is B2B specialty food distribution: the company sells directly to food service operators (restaurants, caterers, foodservice companies serving Mediterranean/Greek cuisine) and to retail channels (grocery and specialty food retailers), primarily on the U.S. East Coast, with an enterprise field sales motion and key account management for larger accounts. Pricing is quote-based and negotiated by volume, customer type, and order frequency rather than publicly disclosed. Two major distribution centers in the U.S. Northeast and Midwest provide regional logistics coverage.

Mediterranean Gyros Products maintains a long-standing alliance with Corfu Foods, established in 1997, in which Corfu produces gyro meat products using Mediterranean Gyros Products' proprietary spice blend and choice beef and lamb; the two companies together offer a combined manufactured-and-imported portfolio. There is no public listing, no disclosed parent company, no funding rounds, and no disclosed revenue. Leadership disclosed in source material consists of VP Procurement/Sales Yani Mavridopoulos and Office Manager Amalia Malamis.
