Pie Deals for Pi Day All Add Up to Yum

Find your gooey confections and saucy pizza specials on 3/14, or, yes, 3.14, if you prefer.

What to Know

  • Thursday, March 14
  • The Pie Hole, California Sun, Winston's Pie...
  • Several $3.14 slices and mini pies are available around town

If you started counting out the numbers of pi on the last Pi Day — so Mar. 14, 2018 — you would, of course, still be naming numbers.

You're still going, we'll bet.

And you're still going.

And you haven't stopped yet.

But the deals that are hot and super-fresh from various ovens, on Pi Day, each and every year? Those are far more finite, which means that, rather than going on and on and on and on (and on), as if they're counting numbers, a pie person needs to strike while the cherry pie filling or mozzarella cheese is hot.

For, yes, Pi Day is also all about pies. And any eater knows that pie is the rare edible that can be eaten at dinner (a slice of pizza pie) or dessert (any cream-packed, fruit-laden pie).
