ICYMI, today, March 14, is Pi Day—an annual celebration of the mathematical constant (the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter). Represented by pi (Greek letter “π”), it equals about 3.14159, hence why math enthusiasts—and dessert lovers—honor it every year on this day.
To celebrate the day, we’ve rounded up some yummy pies—both sweet and savory—plus pie-like goodies, including quiches and tarts, from bakeries, restaurants, and more...
