Back in the day, pie shops used to be all the rage in the South. Tending to stick to more traditional recipes—peach, apple, key lime, strawberry rhubarb—pie shops kept it simple and delicious. But we have one pie shop in Florida that is revolutionizing the pie recipes we know and love. Not only is this tiny pie shop a true gem where you would least expect it, but the pies are so good they sell out fast.
Lo and behold, the tiniest pie shop with the biggest flavors in South Florida, Fireman Derek’s Bake Shop.

Fireman Derek’s Bake Shop is not a large pie shop by any means—you’ll be lucky to fit more than 20 people inside comfortably.

However, it’s important to keep in mind that big things come in small packages, and this pie shop is no exception.

Fireman Derek’s Bake Shop originally began when Derek Kaplan, a city firefighter in Miami, began selling key lime pies to local restaurants.

The pies from Fireman Derek were so delicious, the idea spiraled into a tiny pie shop in Wynwood, Florida which opened in 2014.

Today, guests can visit the pie shop and indulge in a delicious and often rotating selection of pies that you cannot find elsewhere.

Everything is made from scratch, from the very bottom of the pie pan…

…all the way to the decadent toppings that bring the whole pie together.

You can grab a slice for one, or take the whole darn pie, this is a pie judgement free zone.

Just remember to get there early—these soul-satisfying pies sell out faster than you can say “Key Lime.”

Meanwhile, I couldn’t think of a better pairing with pie than some of the most delicious tacos in South Florida.
