March 14 is National Pi Day, the annual holiday that honors pi (π), the mathematical constant that counts 3.14 as its first significant digits.

The special occasion was first commemorated back in 1988, when physicist Larry Shaw organized the holiday in San Francisco to honor the infinite, irrational number that has been utilized in mathematics and science for thousands of years.

Celebrations typically involves things like pi recitation competitions or and mini-Einstein look-alike contests. But for those of less interested in mathematics, Pi Day has become a day to indulge in pies of all types (sweet, savory, or pizza).

Of course, bakeries and restaurants across the country have learned to capitalize on that over the years, offering a number of deals, discounts, and freebies for hungry customers.
