Illinois Science Council announces its 2020 list of Chicago-area bakeries and restaurants celebrating Pi Day by providing pie specials. For 11 years, ISC has recruited bakeries, restaurants, and pizza purveyors to offer pie-related specials for the public to enjoy with their own Pi Day celebrations. As a nonprofit promoting science, technology, engineering and math, we encourage businesses offering pie specials, and customers enjoying pie on March 14, to acknowledge the importance of math, and pi, in our lives.

Participating establishments and specials are below. Send any additions or updates to Info@IllinoisScience.org
