Sometimes I can't find all the ingredients that I need, such as the pita bread that is used, or the traditional meat. Any advice on ways I can get it to taste good when I can't find all the right ingredients?

What is the best way to make a gyro at home?

The best way to experience a gyro is by dinning in or at at your favorite local Greek restaurant.
But if trying to make a gyro at home, my thought is as long you have authentic Greek pita bread that is heated (on a grill) and tzatziki with properly seasoned Greek style meat or chicken this should do the trick!

The seasoning for gyro should be readily available in any super market, the trick is to have the butcher slice the meat for you super thin before you broil it. Also, if you don't have access to traditional pita bread, you could use syrian pita as a substitute. It doesn't taste the same but there are souvlaki/gyro shops in Greece that use this alternative pita.

I know it can vary by region but my go to Gyro and Souvlaki seasoning is: Kosher salt, black pepper, Oregano, Garlic Powder, Cumin & paprika. Be generous with the spices!!!

I agree, especially if you want to get a classic pork gyro. Chicken souvlaki is a bit easier to make at home, but the consistency of actual gyro is super hard to replicate.The best way to experience a gyro is by dinning in or at at your favorite local Greek restaurant.
