About

Greek Souvlaki was founded in 1972 by Lee and Mary Paulos. They were the first to bring yeeros (gyros) to Utah. It was a family visit back to Greece that sparked the idea of a restaurant. Lee's brother Tasos Petropoulos owned a small restaurant serving yeeros in Pireaus and Lee noticed that the tourists loved them. At first Greek Souvlaki only sold three items: yeeros (gyro) souvlaki and beefteki. The red sauce was the specialty sauce in fact white sauce was added many years later! With Mary's home made recipes and Lee's inventive and creative mind they added many other items to their menu. The business has grown with two additional stores since Lee and Mary retired in the year 2000. Great customer service good quality products and absolute dedication was the recipe for success. Their sons Frank Leo and Chris have taken over the business and are using that same recipe for the future of Greek Souvlaki!
