March 14 is National Pi Day, and while some may think of desserts when they hear “pi,” others might think of pizza pies.
Pi Day is an annual celebration of the mathematical constant π, or pi. Pi Day is observed on March 14 because 3, 1 and 4 are the first three digits of pi.
There are several pizzerias in Corpus Christi, but here are six of the Caller-Times’ favorites that you should check out to celebrate the holiday.
