Where to get Pi Day deals around the country

SAN DIEGO (KSWB/KUSI) – What better day to indulge in a slice of pizza or pie than Pi Day on Thursday, March 14?

Pi Day honors the mathematical constant π or pi — the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter (approximately 3.14) — on a date appropriately abbreviated 3/14.

As reported by the Associated Press, Congress designated every March 14 to be National Pi Day in 2009, hoping to spur more interest in math and science. Fittingly enough, Pi Day is also Albert Einstein’s birthday.

To celebrate, pizzerias, pie shops and other businesses typically join in on the festivities by offering discounts and sometimes even free slices.

Here’s a look at some Pi Day deals around the country:
