At Gyrova, they press and cook it to order on a traditional saj grill, before filling it with your choices and folding it into a wrap.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It bakes quickly,&#8221; their spokesperson says. &#8220;We have the dough ready to put it in a dough presser, it takes 15 seconds to prepare.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Prices range from $9 for a pita sandwich, to $10.50 for a wrap, to $12 for a bowl.<\/p>\n<p>They also have dolmas \u2014 grape leaves stuffed with a seasoned rice mixture \u2014 plus falafel, French fries, and sodas. They do not serve alcohol.<\/p>\n<p>Expansion is definitely in the works: The west Fort Worth location opened on August 10, but they already have a second location teed up at 8561 N. Beach St. in a former Subway, which they say will open later in August.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A new fast-casual Mediterranean concept has debuted in Fort Worth: Called Gyrova, it&#8217;s serving bowls, wraps, and pita&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":403960,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[116,118,117,8456,423],"class_list":["post-403959","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-fort-worth","tag-fort-worth","tag-fort-worth-headlines","tag-fort-worth-news","tag-mediterranean","tag-openings"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/403959","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=403959"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/403959\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/403960"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=403959"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=403959"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=403959"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
