Pionono Peru Bakery

Baked crust of empanada so good. Chicken was okay but would've been super good with spicy sauce but I forgot to add it on. This place has been around for 2 years and apparently the South American population has been growing here.Desserts are flavorful and different than what obx usually has but obx is going to get more variety because it is just becoming that much more of an in demand location to visit or live in.Staff is friendly. No seating and take out only. A convenience type store but with Peruvian goodies.

María gets all the amazing Peruvian ingredients for at home Criollo cooking! They regularly have alfajores and empanadas (beef and chicken) on hand. They do a bunch of custom order catering desserts too like cakes and tarts. Definitely worth stopping for a quick lunch and some items to take home.

Highly recommend this place. It is next to the grocery store. A quick lunch.. delicious chicken, rice and potatoes. The potatoes had a delicious sauce . We also had a delicious beef empanada that actually had real beef not hamburger in them. Wonderful! We never had Peruvian food but definitely would go back again. They have a small counter to eat in, maybe 6 stools . They have a nice selection of desserts, although we did not try them .

Skip fast food or a diner wait and come here! We were so pleasantly surprised to find this spot on our way out of town. Amazing service and the woman who served me was so proud of all the delightfully fresh goodies she had. We recommend all of the empanadas and the amazing freshly made passion fruit cheesecake cup. FYI- our maps didn't recognize the store. It's in a strip mall near Food-A-Rama and island pharmacy. Enjoy!

This Place is Amazing!! The dessert selection is top notch. We enjoyed the owner going over the large selection of treats and definitely look forward to our next visit!
