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:

Blaze Pizza
The fast, oven-fired custom pizza spot is serving Pi-priced pizza at participating locations on Monday. Get a pizza pie for $3.14 all day in-restaurant only.

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.
