Piononos

"The Dish: Strawberry Pavlova This strawberry pavlova has been to more anniversaries, bah mitzvahs, birthday parties, housewarmings, graduations, and yacht parties than most Miami socialites. It’s truly a classic Miami celebratory dessert. Evenly sliced strawberries are kaleidoscopically fanned out over layers of whipped cream, dulce de leche, and walnut meringue. No occasion, victory, or apology is too small for purchasing one. They even come in personal servings so you can celebrate making your bed, or simply having a successful lazy Sunday.

"Piononos is a Key Biscayne bakery where there’s almost always a line out the door. And, as far as we can tell, that line is mostly because this place makes a pavlova the way Prince ripped a guitar solo: flawlessly. If you come here and don’t leave with at least one slice of that pavlova, you have erred. It’s made from thinly sliced strawberries, dulce de leche, whipped cream, and a walnut meringue that melts in your mouth. So order one, please. But also don’t ignore other good things here, like their titular pionono, a sponge cake rolled with dulce de leche. Or, their chocolate volcano pound cake with a ganache center." - ryan pfeffer, mariana trabanino

"Key Biscayne’s famed bakery is open for all strawberry pavlova cravings. Anyone in Miami long enough has had this sweet delight, and those who haven’t should remedy that immediately. Don’t be surprised if there’s a line (there almost always is), but we promise the pavlova, topped with dulce de leche and thinly sliced strawberries, is worth it." - Olee Fowler, Amber Love Bond

"A hidden sweet gem on the island. Inconspicuously located on the second floor of the a strip mall, Piononos is a fan favorite of the island residents. Their signature dessert, the "Pavlova" is a mouth watering layering of meringue like crust, dulce de leche, cream, topped with strawberries. If you're into monochromatic palettes their desserts are a must. Make sure to call ahead or you'll be waiting in line (you've been warned)." - Maas Studio
