Will there be any pie in your Pi Day?
-
@ottaross I work at a pizza-software company and Pi Day is statistically a "pizza attracting day" (most customers are in the US).
Seems like more of a US thing, but pizzas are regularly called pies, even outside of Chicago-style ones.
It's also my birthday and I'm going to Pizza Nerds with my family so I'm doing my bit.
@insom it's the Italian influence:
"When the moon hits your eye
Like a big pizza pie,
That's amore."

@brooke seems to meet the crust and filling requirement. There's a very low bar.

@ottaross Pi day totally flew under my radar this year, but for some reason I felt compelled to get a saskatoon berry pie at Farm Boy!
Must have been the gods whispering in my ear!

@zazzoo well done. I might need to walk over and get something to bulk up the blueberries I have in the freezer to make a suitably robust pie today.

@ottaross Side note, I'm always drooling over your baking photos. Have you ever considered picking up the torch that Life of Pie dropped?

@zazzoo thanks! Don't know what 'Life of Pie' was, but I'm happy with the little tidbits of fame my odd bread gets me.

@zazzoo oh the shop near Sunnyside area – I thought you were referring to something online. I've heard of it but never visited. Didn't know they closed! 🫢

@ottaross Yeah, they've turned into a real sit-down restaurant for Roberto's Corners which is itself a fantastic Italian sandwich place that used to be (still is?) run out of the back of a gas station on St.Laurent.
Still, I was in Toronto last week hanging around Kensington and brought back a pie from Pie in the Sky, there. Sad to say it wasn't in the same league.
