Thanks to your middle school math teacher we all know that March 14, or 3.14 is the official “Pi Day.” To celebrate, you could dig up that TI-83 calculator that everyone said we would need later in life, or you could just head to one of our favorite spots for pie in the city, and snap shots of the holiday-appropriate desserts with your handy calculator/camera a.k.a your iPhone. We are rolling our eyes just thinking about 8th grade algebra; hand over the pie!

Bang Bang Pie Shop
A cult favorite here in Chicago, Bang Bang Pie Shop tops our list. With two locations in the city (Logan Square and Ravenswood) and a revolving menu of pies such as key lime, chocolate pecan, chocolate chess, tart cherry, you can’t go wrong. Our favorite is hands down the restaurant’s chocolate pecan inside a graham crust.

Hoosier Mama Pie Company
Another Chicago pie staple with a cult following, Hoosier Mama Pie is another one of our favorites thanks to their crispy, flaky, buttery pie crust. Their pie of the month, the chocolate peanut butter crunch pie has potato chips in it, so expect some unique pie options to choose from!

Baker Miller
After splitting from Bang Bang Pie five years ago, Baker Miller has grown to become a fair rival in the pie department. With classic and original pie flavors to choose from, you’ll be overwhelmed by the options, just make sure to get there before they run out. Our favorite? The chocolate chess pie.  If you can’t stop in for Pi Day, we strongly recommend grabbing a slice after brunch.
