I've had a few styles of shawarma and I think they're similar but shawarma is in a tortilla-like thing, while gyros are in pita bread or something. More of a burrito vs taco.

Hmm interesting. I might he more confused because they do it non-authentic around where I live. I usually see it in a pita, too.
