America’s nerdiest but, perhaps tastiest, holiday is right around the corner. Pi Day falls on March 14 and celebrates the ratio of circumference to diameter in a circle. This essential number is helpful in geometry and also plays an important role when calculating pizza-math. Celebrate with Pi Day with pie of all kinds.
Blaze Pizza will offer their signature build-your-own artisanal pizza for just $3.14. Since their “pop-up” event three years ago, Blaze’s Pi Day celebration has become a fan favorite and annual tradition for the company, and this year they expect to serve close to 250,000 pizzas on Pi Day.
“Math can sometimes be complex, but we think pizza should be simple,” said Jim Mizes, president and COO. “That includes serving fresh, never-frozen dough that’s made in-house daily, using just a few simple ingredients. Because simple ingredients simply taste better.”
Blaze Pizza is located at 643 North Fair Oaks Avenue and 667 East Colorado Boulevard. http://www.blazepizza.com/locations/pasadena/

Although it might not make the best breakfast, this pie is a beautiful snack.
