Summary:
Lettuce isn’t traditional (doesn’t grow in Greece).
Lettuce is a filler that takes up valuable intra-gyro real estate.

Report back on standard gyro fixings at lunch.

Agreed.
Just make it a lettuce wrap with the gyro stuff inside, if you’re trying to cut bready calories. Or, better yet, not being a huge mess, just eat it with a fork, no wrap at all.

We have visited Greece a few times over the last decade (Athens, Santorini, Naxos, Koufonisia) and the gyros never had lettuce. Same with the souvlaki. Its just not a thing in Greece.

gyro was:

pita
lamb
tomatoes
cucumber
red onion
tzatziki sauce…

and like 3 shreds of lettuce. Why bother?

There’s a local restaurant that serves a kale caesar salad.

Lettuce isn’t traditional, and i voted “no”, but i think it would improve a gyro.

now that you are retired do you have time to go through old threads?

No lettuce on any of my sandwiches, with a broad definition of sandwich, to include burgers, hot dogs, tacos, gyros, and anything pita related.
