March 14 is here and that means Pi Day—a day to commemorate Pi, the infinite number that begins with 3.14.

But math fans aren’t the only ones who get to party on Pi Day. Since Pi sounds like “pie” and the number is used to help calculate the measurements of a circle, Pi Day is also an occasion to eat round treats—including pie.

Here’s a few places with Pi Day deals to help you celebrate and make math delicious:

Whole Foods

The “Whole Paycheck” joke need not apply with Pi Day deals that include $3.14 off sweet pies and $2 off take-and-bake pizza on Monday only.

Pie Hole

Shutting your pie hole is not really an option at this ode to crusted creations. Pie Hole kicked off Pi Day early and is celebrating with a Mad Tea Party of pies, namely earl grey, green tea and Thai tea. Pinkies up.

Pizza Hut

If you’re looking for a Pi deal that lasts more than one day, put your math skills to the test for a chance at 3.14 years of free pizza. Pizza Hut teamed up with acclaimed math genius John H. Conway to present their National Pi Day Math Contest. The first person to correctly solve the three math problems concocted by Conway on Pizza Hut’s blog could soon be swimming in a lot of crust and cheese.

At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.

But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.

We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.

Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
