Founded in 1988, and recognized by the U.S. House of Representatives in 2009, Pi Day celebrates the mathematical sign pi and fosters an appreciation for math and science.
Pi Day is an annual national celebration of the mathematical concept, which is the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter and equals 3.14...
March 14 is also reportedly the birthday of theoretical physicist Albert Einstein.
On Thursday, restaurants and businesses nationwide will be celebrating one of the "nerdiest" days of the year with deals on actual pie, pizza pie and other delights.
Here are some of the deals you can take advantage of this Pi Day:
