Capital Pizza & Doner Gyro Shawarma

Halal Gyros

Gyro Catering — Greek & Mediterranean Gyros for DC & NoVA

Classic Greek and Mediterranean gyros—slow-roasted, tzatziki-topped, and delivered hot for offices, weddings, and events across the DMV.

Service Overview

Gyro catering is one of the most requested menus at Capital Doner Catering. Our gyro program blends the Greek-American tradition most DMV guests know—generous seasoning, tzatziki, red onion, tomato, and warm pita—with the vertical-broiler technique we've built our reputation on. The result is a gyro platter that eats like a proper sit-down meal, not a quick-serve wrap warmed in a tray.

We built our gyro menu specifically for catering. That means seasoning that holds up to a 45-minute drive, sauces packaged separately so pita stays soft, and portioning designed for buffets and boxed meals rather than counter service. Our gyro is certified Halal, which makes us one of the few caterers in DC and Arlington that can serve gyro to mixed-audience events—corporate, government, university, and interfaith—without a second vendor.

Whether you need 20 gyro wraps for a working lunch in Ballston, a 150-guest gyro bar for a Georgetown wedding, or a recurring weekly gyro platter for a Tysons office, we scale the same recipes and the same service standard across every order. Gyro platters travel in insulated hot-hold carriers and are portioned to serve family-style, buffet-style, or individually boxed.

Frequently asked questions

What is a gyro?+

A gyro is a Greek dish of seasoned meat—traditionally beef and lamb, or chicken—cooked on a vertical rotisserie and shaved off in thin slices. It is typically served in warm pita with tzatziki, red onion, and tomato.

Is your gyro Halal?+

Yes. Every gyro protein we serve is certified Halal and sourced from vetted DMV suppliers.

What's the difference between gyro and doner?+

Both use a vertical rotisserie, but gyro leans on oregano, garlic, and Greek seasoning with tzatziki, while Turkish doner uses cumin-coriander-oregano blends and lighter sauces. We offer both.

Yes. Our gyro bar is one of our most popular formats. We supply meats, wraps, sauces, and toppings for guests to build their own gyros.

What sides come with gyro catering?+

Standard sides include oregano-lemon potatoes or rice pilaf, Greek salad, hummus, warm pita, and tzatziki. Additional mezze and desserts are available.
