Celebrate Pi Day

Here are seven places to celebrate Pi Day in the Lowcountry

Happy Pi Day, Charleston. Today, March 14, is an annual recognition of the number pi, the number with the most known digits counting toward infinity — the first three of which are 3.14. Pi is the ratio between the circumference of a circle and its diameter... which in our opinion matters most when talking about local slices of pie.

To celebrate pi, let’s eat pie. Here are seven places in the Lowcountry where you can indulge. Do you know of a place that should be added to our list? Let us know.

Kaminsky’s Dessert Cafe | 78 N. Market St., Charleston

This sweet spot is offering all pie selections for $3.14 per slice for dine-in only from 4 to 6 p.m. Pro tip: There is one limit per guest while supplies last.

Pie King | The Citadel Mall Food Court, 2070 Sam Rittenberg Blvd. Ste. 200, Charleston

You can indeed find pie at a place called Pie King. All of the pies sold are made from scratch in small batches and use local ingredients when possible.
