Issa’s Pita Chips (Cinnamon Sugar)

“Perfect balance of crunch and taste”

Issa’s Pita Chips are not new, but we had not noticed them in the store until recently when they were on sale. Pita chips are typically a hit for the parents of the Snackin’ Family, but the kids have never appreciated them in the same way. So, when Snackin’ Mom purchased the Issa’s Pita Chips in cinnamon sugar flavor, she suspected she would get to eat most of them.

What Are Issa’s Pita Chips?

Issa’s Pita Chips are, for the most part, what you expect from pita chips. However, they seem thinner and crunchier than the standard pita chip. The Issa’s Pita Chips bag highlights that these chips are flame baked. Above the window in the bag that lets you see the chips (a rare feature on chips bags), it says “thin & crispy, flame baked pita chips.” The back of the bag explains that the flame baking is what creates the “perfect crisp” of Issa’s Pita Chips with additional details about the appearance, texture and taste being the result of “an old world baking technique that’s been passed down from generation to generation.”

Issa’s hopes the crispiness and texture are part of what differentiates Issa’s Pita Chips from other pita chips, and they are right. Issa’s Pita Chips are the perfect thickness and crispiness to provide a satisfying crunch.

What Do Cinnamon Flavor Issa’s Pita Chips Taste Like?

We sampled Issa’s Pita Chips in a cinnamon sugar flavor. Each pita chip had a light coating of cinnamon sugar. It was enough to offer a great cinnamon flavor without being too sweet. It also didn’t leave cinnamon sugar on our fingers, like can sometimes happen with sugar coatings.

The sweetness was appreciated by the Snackin’ Family kids. Snackin’ Mom thought the kids would just think the Issa’s Pita Chips were okay, but the kids loved them. The Snackin’ Family kids gobbled the pita chips up in just two sittings, leaving only a few for Snackin’ Mom and Snackin’ Dad to enjoy.
