It's often said that cooking is an art and baking is a science, so enjoying a baked good on a mathematical "holiday" like Pi Day (March 14, whose digits, 3/14, are the first three of pi) is apt. To abet your gluttony (we don't judge), we've gathered places in the Chicago area that offer pies. We focused on sweet pies, not hand pies or tarts. We also didn't include restaurants that aren't focused on pie, even if they might have a slice or two on their dessert menu. 

We will update the list if we learn of any new specials. Email us at [email protected] if we missed one of your favorites.
