Plus, the re-organization that we have done, I'm not really liking. Nothing is more annoying than spending 3-4 hours re-organizing and then deciding the new organization stinks and you want it all back the old way... (I haven't made that decision yet, but I am leaning in that direction).
We also painted the downstairs bathroom. Emptying the closets, cleaning them, taping them, then painting them took all day. By the time we were finished with painting and had both showered, it was dinner time, but we didn't have the energy to go out (or cook, not even grilled cheese or instant noodles). So we had the usual discussion - do you want to order in? Should I run out and get something? Chinese? Pizza? Nothing sounded appealing.
Then SP remembered Fuji Sushi so we tried to find an online menu (no luck) but when I was on Urbanspoon reading some unfavorable reviews of Fuji Sushi, I clicked on 'restaurants near Fuji Sushi' and found a place we've seen when we drive by and we always say "oh we should try them, wonder if they're any good" and then we never remember: Olympos Gyros. They are located on Route 60 in Robinson and opened in January 2010. Here's an article about Olympos Gyros from The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.
Suddenly, we were energized. A bit. Olympos Gyros has a Facebook page and their menu can be found there (however, the menu there is a tad outdated as grape leaves are no longer part of the platter special and the prices have increased slightly for a few items). We chose our meals, SP called in the order, and then he left to go pick it up (we didn't want to wait for delivery and risk the delivery person getting lost or confused, which seems to happen a lot with our house since many GPS systems incorrectly identify our location due to some Crafton/Robinson zip code/road name similarities).

The menu has Spinach Pie (not spanakopita) and we decided to try it. It's very tasty. I don't think there's feta, but I did taste dill and it was yummy! The phyllo dough was nice and flaky, it was warm. We'd definitely get the Spinach Pie again.



But the sauce - oh the sauce it what makes these so darn yummy. It's not a yogurt-cucumber tzatziki sauce but instead they make their own tzatziki sauce using sour cream, four spices, and extra virgin olive oil. Oh my. I can totally see why they offer extra sauce for 50 cents.
For his meal, SP chose a 'Platter,' which includes your choice of meat (gyro, marinated & grilled chicken, souvlaki, fried chicken or steak), a pita, your choice of tzatziki sauce flavor, French fries, lettuce, tomato, onions, a small Greek Salad, and for an additional 50 cents a grape leaf. Unfortunately, they were out of grape leaves last night.





We are so excited to have a non-chain place like this in Robinson, right down the road from us, where we can eat in, take out, or get our food delivered. And that tzatziki sauce -- soooo good!!!!!
