Pi Day is an annual celebration of the mathematical constant π (pi) that's held on March 14. The date can also be written as 3.14 — which are, of course, the first three digits of pi — and festivities center around a feast of the obvious food: Pie. And what's a better way to cozy up to mathematics than with comforting desserts? Even if math was your least favorite subject in school, you'll have a newfound love for arithmetic by making and devouring one of these 10 delicious pies on this clever holiday.
