Minority-owned businesses to support during Pi Day

March 14, or 3/14, is Pi Day, a celebration of the mathematical constant π (pi), which starts with 3.14.  

But let’s be honest, for most of us, Pi Day is really about indulging in pies of the edible variety.  

Whether you’re craving a savory pizza pie or a sweet dessert pie, today is the perfect excuse to treat yourself. And what better way to celebrate than by supporting minority-owned businesses in the Indianapolis area specializing in all things pi? 

Pi Indy 

If you’re looking for a pizza pie that’s as innovative as it is delicious, Pi Indy is the place to go.  

This minority-owned pizzeria offers a creative twist on classic pies, with toppings that range from traditional to adventurous. Their commitment to quality ingredients and unique flavors has made them a local favorite. Celebrate Pi Day with a slice (or a whole pie) from Pi Indy.  

Order online at eatbetterpizza.com or at 317-602-6314.   

The Cheesecake Lady 

Who says pie has to be circular? The math does, we know, but that is beside the point.  

The Cheesecake Lady specializes in decadent cheesecakes that are so rich and creamy, they might as well be called pie. This woman-owned dessert shop offers a variety of flavors, from classic New York-style to inventive creations like salted caramel, turtle and red velvet. Perfect for Pi Day, their cheesecakes are a sweet way to honor the holiday.  

Although The Cheesecake Lady is closed on Fridays, be sure to get your cheesecake fix this Pi Weekend by calling 317-721-4266. 

Pots and Pans 

Another hidden gem in Indianapolis is Pots and Pans, offering a fusion of Caribbean and American flavors.  

While they’re known for their savory dishes, their dessert menu features pies and pastries that are worth the trip. Their sweet potato pie, in particular, is a crowd-pleaser. Observe Pi Day by trying something new and supporting this minority-owned eatery.

Brozinni Pizzeria 

For a classic New York-style pizza pie, Brozinni Pizzeria is the go-to spot.
