Blaze Fast-Fire'd Pizza will celebrate Pi Day on Monday, March 14, by inviting guests to build their own pizzas for $3.14 at any Blaze Pizza location, according to a company press release. Originally imagined as an unconventional "pop-up" event three years ago, Blaze's Pi Day celebration has become a fan favorite and annual tradition for the company. Last year on March 14, Blaze's restaurants served more than 75,000 pizzas for $3.14 each; this year, they expect to serve twice that number of their celebrated pizzas, according to a company press release.

The company will also use Pi Day to officially launch its new Snapchat channel, with a "Be There Or Be Square" flash promo as part of its March 14 Snapchat story (user name: @blazepizza). Blaze's Snapchat channel will feature peeks behind the scenes at restaurant openings, pop up "pizza party" events and occasional takeovers by guest Snappers.

"Pi Day is an unconventional sort of holiday. For us, it's all about encouraging folks to think outside the box," said Jim Mizes, president and COO. "At Blaze, our guests find that they can have it all — pizzas with house-made dough and carefully sourced ingredients, crazy fast speed, and affordable value. Plus, with our recent move to nitrite-free meats and all-natural olives, our journey to clean food is now almost complete. We're changing the game in this industry, and we think that's a great reason for a giant pizza party."
