Whisk together the balsamic vinegar, olive oil and minced garlic in a small bowl.

Brush the tops and bottoms of the portobellos with the mixture until they are well coated. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Assemble the sandwiches by slicing a pocket into the pitas and filling them each with a grilled portobello and a portion of the tomatoes, basil and fresh mozzarella. Drizzle with any of the remaining balsamic vinaigrette.
