Celebrate Pi Day With Pie
We're all about celebrating March 14th as Pi Day, and showing some love for our favorite irrational number. But, you say "pi" and we hear "pie." Not to be confused with National Pie Day, however, today does also happen to be a red letter number day for pi-with-an-e. We love pie; we talk about it a lot, and even have a few recipes up for grabs. It's not the right season for berry or peach pies, but it's always a good time for Coconut Cream, Banana Cream, Key Lime, or Apple pie. While you can get a slice of pie at Marie Callender's today (with purchase) we suggest the venerable Pie n' Burger in Pasadena for where to get your pie today. Then there's Apple Pan, House of Pies, and countless others. Who's got the best pie in Los Angeles? You tell us!
One year ago, Congress voted to defund public media, eliminating a critical $1.7 million from our budget every year going forward. But they couldn’t silence us, and we’re not going anywhere. LAist is now 100% community funded and that means we’re taking our future into our own hands and turning to you to keep local reporting strong.
