3 Fairfax Businesses Celebrate Pi Day With Special Deals

FAIRFAX CITY, VA — Several local businesses in the Fairfax area will be celebrating Pi Day on Saturday, March 14 with special deals on pies.

The first Pi Day was organized in 1988 by Larry Shaw at the Exploratorium in San Francisco as a way to celebrate the mathematical symbol π, which is used to calculate the area, volume, and circumference of a circle.

Pi Day is celebrated on March 14 because it occurs on the third month of the year and on the 14th day, which is abbreviated 3/14, the first three figures of π (3.14159).

Matchbox’s guests can buy any regular priced pizza and get another for 50 percent off in store or online with code PIEDAY at checkout. The deal is available at the Matchbox located in the Mosaic District at 2911 District Ave. Suite 120, Merrifield.
