With all this St. Patrick’s Day (week, you mean?) drinking and partying, sugar, and carbs are a necessity. Then, what’s more suitable than taking advantage of Pi Day and grabbing a delicious slice from one of our favorite bakeshops in Chicago? From gourmet popcorn to countless signature desserts from Chicago restaurants, Chicago never fails to impress the sweet teeth roaming the city. Therefore, I suppose it’s time to think about your top 3 favorite pie flavors since you can’t eat all of them!
PS: If your definition of pie is pizza slices, check out our list of the best deep dish pies in Chicago!
