Ingredients

pita · pork · tomato · onion · tzatziki · french fries

*Pita Gyros Diplo (Διπλό)* is the upsized order: *diplo* means "double," and depending on the shop it buys you a double round of *pita*, a double portion of meat, or both. It is the same sandwich as a standard *pita gyros* scaled up for a bigger appetite, and the only variable that matters here is structural: more load, and whether the bread is built to carry it. That is the whole question this entry turns on.

Done properly, *diplo* is more than a heavier filling stuffed into the same round. The honest version uses two *pita* nested or a single sturdier double-thickness round, both well griddled, so the base can take a doubled weight of carved meat, *tzatziki*, tomato, onion, and *patates* without blowing out at the fold. Good practice keeps the proportions intact as it scales: more meat, but also enough bread and a little more *tzatziki* and tomato so the thing stays balanced rather than becoming a fistful of dry shavings. The roll has to be packed tight and the base sealed firmly, because a doubled cone carries far more juice and will leak faster if the wrap is loose. Sloppy execution is the giveaway here: a single thin *pita* overloaded until it splits and dumps its contents, a doubled portion of meat with no extra sauce or vegetable so it eats dry and one-note, or a cone so heavy and badly wrapped that it collapses before you are halfway through. Reheated, greyed meat is twice as obvious at this size.

The point of *diplo* is portion, not recipe: it exists for people who find a standard *pita gyros* too small, and it is judged on whether the shop scaled the structure honestly or just charged more for a fragile overstuffed round. Some counters price *diplo* as double meat in a single reinforced *pita*; others genuinely fold two rounds together; a few read it as the full *apo ola* set in a larger format. The standard *pita gyros apo ola* it scales up from deserves its own article rather than being crowded in here; what matters at this entry is the doubling itself and whether the bread underneath was built to survive it.
