Jerk chicken, oxtail and a pizza oven.

Jamaican plates and hand-stretched pizza from one kitchen on Bound Brook Road.

Jamaican flavor, by the slice

The two halves of this kitchen meet on a pizza. The Jammin' Jerk Chicken Pizza starts with a jerk sauce base, then shredded jerk chicken and fresh mozzarella on a hand-tossed crust. The Oxtail Pizza goes the other way: garlic butter and a hint of oxtail gravy under slow-braised shredded oxtail.

Both come by the slice as well, so you can try one without committing to a whole pie.

What our customers are saying

  • This food was very good! I got the brown stew chicken with rice and peas and everything has so much flavor. The chicken had just the right amount of heat. The cabbage and carrots were a 10 out of 10. Will be coming back soon.

  • I went here with my family and it was a 10/10 experience. The lady working the cash register was very kind and attentive. The service was great too. The food was delicious. We got a medium pie and some curry chicken. The chicken was tender and well seasoned.
