While math lovers come together every year on March 14 to celebrate Pi Day, it can also be an opportunity for others to reap the benefits of special restaurant promotions.
Representing the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter, pi is approximately equal to 3.14159 — but its digits go on forever. In school, you might have used it to calculate the area of a circle or the volume of a cylinder. But the applications of pi are endless and part of every corner of our world.
The holiday was created in 1988 by Larry Shaw, a physicist at the Exploratorium science museum in San Francisco, to celebrate math.
Due to the number’s association with a circle, restaurants have been able to get creative through offering promotions on their circle-shaped items, whether it be pizza, pie or cookies.
From 7-Eleven to Burger King, here are all the best food deals for Pi Day.
