What diners are saying
Diners have mixed but passionate reactions to this Haitian-inspired pizzeria, with many celebrating the unique fusion concept and supporting a Black-owned business. While some guests rave about the flavorful toppings and distinct, naan-like crust found on the Pitiwo seafood pizza, others find the heavy cheese overwhelming and the seasoning inconsistent, particularly on the Oxtail pizza. Service experiences vary significantly, ranging from warm, educational interactions with the chef to frustration with front-of-house staff, though the pikliz remains a standout flavor enhancer for many.
