Pot’iwa Pizza opens its doors in Brooklyn (New York)

Pot’iwa Pizza, a Haitian company renowned for its pizzas with authentic Haitian flavors, continues to expand its international footprint with the imminent opening of its fifth restaurant, located in Brooklyn, New York. This new opening marks an important step in the growth of Pot’iwa Pizza and demonstrates its undeniable success since its creation.

A 100% Haitian company

Founded in January 2015 in Pétion-Ville, Pot’iwa Pizza has seduced pizza lovers with its unique specialties such as aransò pizza, topped with herring, and griyo pizza, inspired by the traditional Haitian fried pork dish. In addition to these classics, Pot’iwa offers around twenty other varieties of pizzas with flavors as diverse as they are original, delighting the most curious gourmets.

On January 13, 2023, Pot’iwa Pizza made history by becoming the first Haitian restaurant company to open a franchise in the United States. This first foray onto American soil took place in North Miami, Florida, where the Haitian community and lovers of exotic cuisine welcomed the brand with enthusiasm.

With the opening of the Brooklyn restaurant, scheduled for Saturday June 1, 2024 at 5 p.m., Pot’iwa Pizza is strengthening its presence in the American market. This new restaurant joins the four existing establishments: in Pétion-Ville, in Les Irois, in Cap-Haïtien, and in North Miami. This rapid and strategic expansion demonstrates the growing popularity of the brand and the quality of its products.

The Pot’iwa Pizza team is extremely excited to share the delights of Haitian cuisine with residents of Brooklyn, as well as those in neighboring states like New Jersey, Connecticut and Pennsylvania. By bringing a touch of Caribbean flavor to the New York culinary scene, Pot’iwa Pizza hopes to not only delight the taste buds, but also promote the cultural and gastronomic richness of Haiti.

The grand opening in Brooklyn promises to be a memorable event, celebrating not only the opening of a new restaurant, but also the extraordinary journey of a small Haitian business becoming an international culinary ambassador. Pizza lovers and the curious are invited to join the party and discover the best that Pot’iwa Pizza has to offer.

A symbol of Haitian pride

For Jude Vaillant, CEO of Pot’iwa Pizza, this new opening is much more than just an addition to the restaurant chain.

The design of the restaurant, the standard, the quality of the pizzas that will be served, the music that will be played... everything has been designed with the aim of making Haitians proud, commensurate with the glorious past of the first republic black people in the world

, declared Jude Vaillant.

The choice of New York also has personal significance for Vaillant. In 2014, he left New York to return to Haiti, where he founded Pot’iwa Pizza with his associate and partner Rock André. Ten years later, the opening of this restaurant in Brooklyn represents a true "comeback" for him, symbolizing his dream come true to bring back to New York something precious, designed and born in Haiti.
