When I worked our building had a lobby with restaurants and one was run by a Greek family - they always said "year-o". Many Italian restaurants here say the same thing.

My understanding is that was the root of the hero sandwich.

I'm in the rural midwest. I grew up hearing "JIE-roh". I know now that it's supposed to be pronounced "YEAR-oh", but still nobody around here does.

Now you got me craving one! LOL! I haven't had one in a long while either.

I have been told the correct pronouncation is e ro. I dont know and I dont have to know because I would never order one anyway since they are made with lamb.

Yee-ro. Chain of Greek fast food resturants here.

I’m so glad to read this. I have always pronounced it “Jī-row”. I never heard it said any other way.
Now I have to get my brain and mouth in a new gear.

So you already knew the answer???
Am sure many different areas pronounce it many different ways. So unless you're in Greece, does it really matter? And even there, could be different dialects.

Funny thing, when we lived in Crete, Greece, we called them Pitas, one of our favorite places to eat was the Pita Stand!
