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.

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.

Meet Edison Juste: An Outstanding Singer

Beyond the chaos, in the heart of the desolation, there are voices that resonate. They shatter the silence, depicting the macabre reality of everyday life in a thousand shards, thus defying evil to give meaning to life and make each day a place where hope flows like a stream of honey. Edison Juste’s voice is one of them: it sings of hope, of love, while praising God. It was in Carrefour, 27 years ago, that the young singer’s sun rose within a family of four children. Edison Juste is the youngest. Between the diplomat, the lawyer, and the entrepreneur that he is, singing remains his greatest passion for this young married man. Like many Haitian singers, Edison Juste took his first steps at a very early age in a choir—Yahvé Shama—alongside children his own age. He would later become the lead singer. This was in 2010. Asked about his first real encounter with music, he replied: q~It was in 2013 that I really started singing. It was during a competition organized by Styl Doz at the Évangélique de la Grâce church,~q, says the active member of the group YES (Yon Enstriman Sen), who also expresses his gratitude to singer Joseph Rhousteau, who inspired and coached him for several years. Edison Juste stands out not only for his style, but also for his versatility. His ability to make the notes vibrate with a moving candor seems limitless. Yet, he has his preferences: q~There isn’t a single style that characterizes me. I see myself as a liquid: I take the shape of the container. Even if I remain haunted by Worship, Compass, and Jazz, he confides. Today, the Carrefour native boasts a rich and varied musical repertoire. From 2010 to 2025, he has grown both in maturity and in renown: five competition wins, his first song recorded in 2018, joining the band YES, his participation in the second album, Se pou m beni, a collaboration with Amos César in a musical, and his contribution to the album Anprent by maestro Berwin Sydney. For him, this journey is already a great source of inspiration. Edison Juste never does without the presence of God, whether in the creative process or during his stage performances: "What influences and motivates me the most is always the presence of Elohim, and the audience’s desire to savor and appreciate my work," he says.

Haiti, dream space.

Between dream and Haitian reality: A call for unity and action Many men have dreamed big for Haiti. Toussaint Louverture and Jean Jacques Dessalines are examples. Although torn apart by invisible hands, the social fabric of the country had always been considered the greatest project to be set in motion by men of letters. Until then, the history of Haïti remains and remains for Haitians the most appropriate space to dream and propose full and complete freedom. Indeed, Toussaint Louverture had the dream of improving the lot of slaves. Dessalines, for his part, sacrificed himself for the independence of our island (Haiti-Saint-Domingue). After our liberation from the French, men of letters had to take other paths to safeguard the dignity of the country. This situation showed another form of revolution like poets of the patriotism school with supporters such as: Louis Joseph Janvier, Anténor Firmin, Demesvar Délorme and the Generation of the Round with Fernand Hibbert, Georges Sylvain also the indigenous school with Jean Price Mars, Jacques Stephen Alexis, Roussan Camille etc... who express their discontent by pouring ink. By describing or painting the situation of the country. Several years which were first conceived and then born the idea of ​​giving the country its sovereignty, its own bicolor, its army, etc. it was not easy and did not continue like this. Haïti needs for the moment men of dreams, men who love their countries, but not the wealth of this country, men who love the happiness of their country, but not its misfortunes, men who have viable projects , but are not specialists in carnage who are only interested in their pockets, rather for the happiness of our two-tone, men who must fight against corruption, against waste, against the invisible hands of foreigners, against this form of public administration which targets only a small group of people in the country to the detriment of the population, this form of insecurity planned by the state, the so-called bourgeoisies, economic powers from abroad such as: France, USA, Canada, Brazil. q~Haïti in 1979 with full power. Maître Fevry is said to have declared: The dream of Haïti cannot support, nor accept improvised solutions ~q. The Haitian’s dream must always be a team effort. A team of men of skill, vision, good will, reflection and meditation. q~ Men who can place their personal and private interests over public interests. Men who want to make a new start to achieve the dream of Jean Jacques Dessalines and that of Henri Christophe who aimed that Haitians will not envy any other country in the world so that all Haitians can be happy in their own country, chanted Professor Lesly Saint Roc Manigat.~q Our dear Haiti, which was once the pearl of the Antilles, is no longer present today. For this we ask all Haitians: children, young people, adults and old people, let us unite our arms, our strength, our voices and all that we could do to liberate our dear homeland Haïti Chérie. Let’s change our reality together! Long live Haiti, long live freedom for the whole world.
