Again, it's usually a plate, with shaved or chunk meat, some veggies, rice, and pita bread on the side.

Hmm -- that doesn't match my experience. When I see simply "gryos" on the menu, that typically connotes the shaved meat in a pita sandwich, with toppings inside. What you're describing, I'm used to seeing as a "gryos platter". (And in practice, I most often get a "gryos salad", which is basically a greek salad with the shaved meat on top.)

I suspect it varies regionally. (As nearly everything does in the US.)
