Local bakery serves up sweet treats for Pi Day

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Tuesday is International Pi Day and there are plenty of ways to celebrate, from pizza pie to sweet pies, as well as some tasty and fun deals.

Pi is the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter and is an infinite number. The first three digits are 3.14, therefore Pi Day is celebrated every March 14. People around the world love celebrating this infinitely long, never-ending number.

Clarissa Morley, the owner of Pots & Pans Pie Co. on College Avenue in Indianapolis, says there’s an influx of customers every Pi Day.

“Our big special we do for Pi Day is called a ‘Frankenpie.’ It’s a slice of each pie on our menu all together in a pie tin to make one whole pie,” Morley said.
