As What Now recently reported, Pot’iwa Pizza, a Haitian pizza brand currently operating in Port-au-Prince, is planning to open a restaurant in Miami Gardens. A representative of the company tells What Now, however, that the brand’s arrival in South Florida includes not one but two locations. A second Pot’iwa Pizza will open in North Miami.
The two upcoming Pot’iwa Pizza locations are:
- Miami Gardens: One location is planned not far from the intersection of Miami Gardens Drive and South State Road 7, at 18138 Northwest Second Ave.
- North Miami: A second restaurant is planned on the southeast corner of NE Sixth Ct and NE 125th St, at 12485 NE 6th Ct.
In Port-au-Prince, Pot’iwa Pizza’s pies feature a variety of toppings, including seafoods like Herring, Salt Cod, Shrimp, and Lobster; meats like Chicken, BBQ Chicken, and Griot; and classic pizza toppings like Cheese and Pepperoni. The Port-au-Prince menu also features dishes like Chicken Wings, Pot’iwa Chicken Soup, and Chicken Paté.
The Miami Gardens location will open first, the representative told What Now on Thursday morning. It is expected to open by November 18.
The second location, in North Miami, sits opposite NE 125th St from a busy retail center that houses the St. James Acting Studio and the Nanay Community Center, plus eateries like Tomato & Basil and Rustic Hondureña.
I ordered 2 legume, one griot, and a seafood pizza. The legumes was nasty as hell. It smelled stink after 2 hours. I couldn’t believe how stink the food was. I threw it away. I believe they gave me yesterday food that was sitting out. I will never return. So discussing. The pizza wasn’t all that. How you open a new restaurant and serve nasty food.
Tonight My wife and I went to eat at Pot’iwa. We parked on the other side of the street. Our first impression was that the place is clean and continually maintained. The bathroom is clean too. We ordered a large pizza mix and chicken wings. The cheese and the ingredients was well distributed over the pizza. No blank spot, specially the Aranso in the middle, genius. It was not too salty or too greasy. The owner and every body else was friendly. We can’t wait to come back and try something else. So far I give them 5 stars (*****)
