The spinach pie from The Gyro Co. has countless layers of crispy phyllo, folded into two-bite triangles. The thin, lighter-than-air dough marries perfectly with the creamy filling of spinach, fresh herbs and salty feta. Each order of six pieces is served with a cucumber tzatziki sauce, a perfect counterpoint to the piping hot interior. Pro tip: Call ahead and ask them to put an order aside for you before you arrive, as regulars rarely leave without at least one. We get two: one for the car ride home and the other to share. Greek goddess Demeter would be a fan.
