You can’t celebrate National Pi Day without indulging in a slice of pie whether it be sweet, savory or a pizza pie. We have crunched the numbers and found places with deals for 3.14 Day.

What is Pi Day?

March 14 (3.14) is a chance to celebrate Pi, one of the most important numbers ever, representing the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter.

Although Pi is typically rounded down to 3.14, it can go on forever. According to Guinness World Records, the most accurate value for Pi is more than 62 trillion digits (62,831,853,071,796 to be precise). It was calculated last August by the University of Applied Sciences in Switzerland.
