Today, Stacy’s offers avariety of pita chip flavorsin addition to pita thins and bagel chips.
As a fan of this beloved snack, I decided to put several options to the test.
Each 7.33-ounce bag cost me $4.29.

There was a slight variation in color across the chips, with some having darker baked spots than others.
The taste:This is exactly what I’d expect from a multigrain pita chip.
The flavor was earthy and slightly nutty with a touch of salt.

The taste:Surprisingly not very cheddary.
These weren’t bad by any means.
They just weren’t what I was expecting from a snack labeled as “toasted cheddar.”

Some were so caked with seasoning that the entire surface area was dark brown.
I prefer a dip vehicle that’s a bit more subtle.
The look:These pita chips were light in color, presenting a shade that resembled sand.

They were also dusted with seasoning and dark green flecks of parsley.
Instead, the most prominent element was the garlic.
As previously mentioned, I taste-tested these straight out of the bag.

Each chip was speckled with cinnamon and shimmering with tiny sugar crystals.
The taste:Perfect for the fall.
The flavors of cinnamon and sugar shined through without either ingredient being overpowering.

As with the appearance, the taste reminded me of of cinnamon graham crackers.
These pita chips are made with dried tomato, spices, and basil.
Flecks of herbs, presumably basil, were also scattered across the surface.

The taste:The flavor of the pita chips aligned with the name.
They were savory and slightly herbaceous, while the tomato flavor was noticeably present.
There was also a slight smokiness to them, which I appreciated.
This is Stacy’s plain option, which is seasoned with sea salt.
The look:Thin, crispy, and golden brown.
This is what I think of when I hear someone say “pita chip.”
The taste:Call me boring if you want, but the plain variety was my favorite.
These pita chips were perfectly crunchy and savory with a hint of salt that doesn’t overwhelm the palate.
This option is a versatile blank canvas just waiting to be dressed up with a dip like hummus.
However, these chips were pretty habit-forming on their own.
