SAN DIEGO (KSWB/KUSI) – What better day to indulge in a slice of pizza or pie than Pi Day on Thursday, March 14?
Pi Day honors the mathematical constant π or pi — the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter (approximately 3.14) — on a date appropriately abbreviated 3/14.
As reported by the Associated Press, Congress designated every March 14 to be National Pi Day in 2009, hoping to spur more interest in math and science. Fittingly enough, Pi Day is also Albert Einstein’s birthday.
To celebrate, pizzerias, pie shops and other businesses typically join in on the festivities by offering discounts and sometimes even free slices.
Here’s a look at some Pi Day deals around the country:
BJ’s Restaurant & Brewhouse: The restaurant chain will be offering one-topping mini pizzas for $3.14. The deal is only available for dine-in customers.
Blaze Pizza: Enjoy any 11-inch pizza (with toppings or without) for only — you guessed it — $3.14. To receive the Pi Day deal, customers will need to join the Blaze Rewards program for a coupon.
Bronx Pizza & Pints: Celebrate the mathematical marvel! Get a large cheese pizza for just $10 or a large pepperoni pizza for $11. Who says math can’t be deliciously cheesy?
Burger King: Prefer sweet treats over cheesy? Then you should take advantage of this fast-food chain’s Pi Day deal. Customers can indulge in a free slice of Hershey’s Sundae Pie with any purchase that equates to at least $3.14.
