Today is Pi Day, aka the day we use an infinite number as an excuse (not that you need one) to dish on the dessert. So grab a plate, we’re rounding up spots to celebrate.
The Rhu
Pastry chef Mallory Foster is offering a stellar selection of treats, including chocolate cream pie, Atlantic beach pie, strawberry hand pies, and last but certainly not least, pimiento cheese + candied bacon hand pies. The cafe is going all out with wine pairings for each pie and pie-flavored coffee creamers on special.
New Stock Pantry
They’ve got dinner and dessert covered — head to the pop-up at Oak and Grist for free savory pot pies and sweet slices, and whole pies for sale. Of course, it’s a tough choice with options like banana pudding, tangerine-key lime swirl, and chocolate chess, so the sampler is a great way to go.
Baked Pie Company
Head to the Arden shop to indulge in a slice for, you guessed it, $3.14. Dessert devotees can show off their confection affection with Baked’s special Pi Day t-shirts.
Mattie Lou’s Cafe and Bakery
The new bakery is ringing in its first Pi Day with a stacked menu of sweets. Try out unique spins on the classics, like miso caramel apple pie and yuzu cheesecake. Bonus: There will also be plenty of St. Patrick’s Day treats.
Whisk AVL
The adorable drive-thru bakery will have three flavors available for the special day.
Rocky’s Hot Chicken Shack
Add some spice to your celebration. Opt for the savory style with a creamy filling underneath the buttery, flaky goodness on top.
If you need to crush your sugar rush, bust a move at Shakey’s with 3.14 hours of music, or save your energy for the UNC Asheville Math Club’s Pi Run on Sunday, March 16.
