Another holiday coming up is Pi Day, the celebration of the mathematical constant pi \u2014 whose first three digits are 3.14 \u2014 celebrated on March 14 each year.<\/p>\n
Celebrations often include eating pies, baking, or enjoying circular foods as a pun on the word \u201cpi.\u201d<\/p>\n
Here in Long Beach, we have plenty of options to celebrate this holiday, including lots of traditional pizza places that sell both sweet and savory pies. Here are a few of my favorites.<\/p>\n
A couple of newer restaurants, including Anna\u2019s Joint at 5315 E. 2nd St. and Mooney\u2019s have great pie; while classic Long Beach pizza spots include Speak Cheesy and Domenico\u2019s.<\/p>\n
When it comes to sweet pies, I\u2019d say the top Long Beach locations include Jongewaard\u2019s Bake n\u2019 Broil, Polly\u2019s Pies, and Hof\u2019s Hut in the Los Altos area.<\/p>\n
I, though, prefer a savory pie. Here are some amazing local options:<\/p>\n
A PCH, at 2ND & PCH, serves an amazing upside down pot pie. It\u2019s only available on Mondays and Tuesdays.
\nThe Social List\u2019s in Retro Row serves a pot pie with a wonderfully light and airy crust.
\nThe Ordinaire in downtown serves chicken pot pie bites that are almost finger food.
\nCalli Chilli at 4111 N. Viking Way serves a butter chicken pot pie that falls into the International comfort food category.<\/p>\n
Watch Me! Sports Bar<\/p>\n
This Saturday, the popular Watch Me! Sports Bar located in The Marketplace on Pacific Coast Highway will be hosting a queer line dancing event and Pi Day celebration.<\/p>\n
The event will feature a happy hour from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. with food (including their famous fried pickles) and drink specials for the line dancers, according to a Watch Me! social media post. Then from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m., the bar will host line dancing lessons for newbies, and advanced dancers will be invited to the floor from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m.<\/p>\n
Aside from the line dancing, the bar will also be serving pie by the slice to help fundraise for<\/p>\n
They will be serving up pie by the slice to raise funds for Trans Defense Fund Los Angeles, a mutual aid organization that supports trans people across L.A.county with safety kits, self-defense training, and other resources.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe invite you to bake a pie, pick up a Costco pie, or convince a pie-baker in your life to make one for the cause,\u201d the bar wrote online.<\/p>\n
Wristbands are required to participate in the dancing, which you can get when you check in with a team member.<\/p>\n
