Happy Pi Day! We can think of way more than 3.14 reasons why today is a little sweeter than most, and most of them involve flaky crusts and decadent fillings. Every March 14 (also known as 3/14), we dish up a little celebration for the number known as Pi, which, as you likely remember from geometry class, is usually shortened to 3.14 despite being an infinite number. And there are many infinitely delicious ways to show appreciation for this mathematical constant, from slicing into a classic apple (a la mode, please!) to digging into a savory stew bubbling beneath a crackly shell. Read on for our timely ode to the glory of Pi—and, of course, pie—and then pick up these mathematical munchies on Walmart+.

For less than $3 you can dig into this homestyle classic, with tons of white meat chicken, peas, and carrots all suspended in the same rich and gooey filling you’ve loved since childhood. This is comfort food at its finest.

2. Shepherd’s Pie

The British certainly know a thing or two about satisfying food (hello, enormous basket of fish and chips), and the shepherd’s pie is among their finest culinary achievements. Ground beef and corn are covered in a blanket of mashed potatoes, resulting in a homey, hearty concoction that’s been beloved for two centuries. While this nine-pack may seen excessive, we guarantee it won't go to waste.

$78 for nine at Walmart

3. Peaches & Cream Pie Soda

Thirsty? Don’t worry, there’s a pie for that, too. This carbonated tipple is reminiscent of the old school flavor combo you know and love, and just like the crust-and-filling version, it’s made with pure cane sugar. Oh, and make sure to check out their other flavors of pie soda, including Lemon Meringue, Cherries and Cream, and Apple. Bottoms up!

4. Chocolate Pecan Pie Popcorn

If you like your pie extra nutty—and a little tongue in cheek—this crunchy, crave-able spin on pecan will have you happily snacking until Pi Day 2023 and beyond. Kernels of popcorn are coated with brown sugar and butter, then drizzled with milk chocolate, resulting in a salty-sweet nibble as good as anything Grandma used to make.

$2 at Walmart

5. Cherry Fruit Hand Pies

There’s no arguing with this handheld icon, which has been gracing kids’ lunchboxes for decades. Crisply golden on the outside, gooey and fruity on the inside, there’s no human alive—kid or grownup—who can say no to these nostalgic beauties.

$1 at Walmart

6. Chocolate Cream Pie

No pie list would be complete without a satiny chocolate number, and this version takes the cake—or, well, the pie. With a chocolate crust, chocolate and vanilla cream layers, and a triple-threat topping of Hershey’s syrup, whipped cream and chocolate chips, this pie is not kidding around. Best of all, it comes with two slices (which means you don’t have to share).

7. Pumpkin Pie Mix

Have you been thinking all this time that you’re only allowed to eat pumpkin pie on Thanksgiving? If so, think again. This holiday classic is just as delicious on a crisp March afternoon as it is on Turkey Day, and it’s far easier to make your own than you might think. Start with this pumpkin puree, add eggs and evaporated milk, pour into a pre-made crust, and voila: a Fall favorite you can enjoy all year round.

$3 at Walmart

8. Caramel Apple Pie

As we mentioned, you’ve had the classic apple pie topped with ice cream—and we all know it’s a classic with good reason. But if you haven’t taken apple pie to the next level by drizzling it with caramel sauce, you’re in for a real treat. This bakery style pie’s flavor factor is also leveled up with a crumbly golden topping, making this a double whammy of deliciousness.
