Pi Day Piestravaganza

March 3, 2016 by Marketing

pi-pie Calling all geeks and nerds, math enthusiasts, and lovers of fruit filled pastry — Pi Day is coming! Do you want to save exactly $3.14 on all your Pi Day delivery orders? Of course you do. Do you want to surprise your office with gorgeous locally made sweet pies or savory pizza pies? The answer is 3.141592653589793238462643… AKA: YES!

Pi Day is celebrated on March 14th (3/14) around the world. Pi (Greek letter “π”) is the symbol used in mathematics to represent a constant — the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter — which is approximately 3.14159 (ect.). Pi has been calculated to over one trillion digits beyond its decimal point. As an irrational and transcendental number, it will continue infinitely without repetition or pattern. While only a handful of digits are needed for typical calculations, Pi’s infinite nature makes it a fun challenge to memorize, and to computationally calculate more and more digits. Or you can just eat some pie and think about how lovely it would be to have an infinite amount of pie. Pie infinity.

Every year we max out on pie deliveries on March 14th. So get your orders in soon!

National Pie Day – Another Reason to Love Pie!

January 14, 2015 by Jon Elias

Pie Day is a magical time of the year. It’s like a whole day was dedicated to bringing you back to your grandmothers house, when the egg timer dings and suddenly the kitchen is filled with the smell of browned crust and hot apple filling.

That’s right folks, National Pie Day is coming up! Unlike Pi Day, which has a mathematical undertone, Pie Day has no subtleties about it. January 23rd is all about the baked deliciousness you know and love, meaning you can enjoy these goods math free (which, if you had the math experience I had in high school, is a good thing)

This year, Pacific Pie Co. and Portland Pedal Power are teaming up to bring you free pie delivery on National Pie Day, Friday the 23rd. If you order a pie from Pacific Pie Co. to be delivered on the 23rd, Portland Pedal Power and Pacific Pie Co. will cover the cost of delivery, ensuring there are no barriers between you and your pie.

We also want to hear about your Pie Experiences! Have you had an especially delicious Pie from Pacific Pie Co? Have a saucy story about last year’s Pie Day? Or maybe you just have a picture of a delicious pie you just took out of the oven, and have been waiting for the perfect opportunity to share. This is your opportunity!

Posts Your Pie pictures and stories by Thursday, January 22rd and tag Portland Pedal Power and Pacific Pie Co. on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram, and our judges will award a lucky pie enthusiast a Free Pie in addition to their free delivery. Yes, you did read that right. Free Pie, Free delivery, all for showing us your enthusiasm for pie. What’s not to love?

Dinner at Pacific Pie Company: What a Treat!

October 2, 2014 by Jon Elias

There are some things you can only experience in PDX. We’ve got bridges up the Wassu, the Made in Oregon sign, the Rose Festival, and the Swift Watch in September.

This last week I had the opportunity to go see the Swifts do their nightly dance out at Chapman Elementary, and it was a sight to behold. We were running a bit early, so we decided to drop by Pacific Pie Co. for an early dinner.

We sat down and quickly discovered just how indecisive we are, especially when confronted with such a tempting menu. We went back and forth from their Sandwiches to Entrees to Sausage Rolls, and finally decided that since we were eating at Pacific Pie Co., we simply must try their pies.

To start off, We decided to try the Moroccan Spiced Lamb Meatballs, which came out in a delicious creamy sauce and soft pita bread. It was certainly spicy, and I found myself trying to steal a little more than my half of the plate.

I decided on the Beef and Mushroom Pie along with the Rhubarbarian Cider. The pie itself was delicious, and has a great Onion Gravy. My only regret was I didn’t order two.

My compatriot went for the Thai Green Curry Chicken Pie, cooked with green coconut curry sauce, zucchini, bell peppers, and cilantro. If this isn’t making your mouth water, I don’t know what will.

And oh lord, the pie crust: I have not enjoyed such a good crust since grandmas apple pie of my childhood.

Afterwards we grabbed a Chocolate Salted Caramel Tart Pie to enjoy as we watched the Swifts tumble into their home. Never have I been more content at watching birds than with a Chocolate Salted Caramel Tart pie.

So as we continue to enjoy the fall weather, be sure to treat yourself this fall! While the official Audubon Swift Watch technically ended September 30th, there’s no reason you can’t drop by Pacific Pie Co. for a great dinner. Or if you feel like staying indoors, drop us a line! We can bring some of your favorites right to your door.

Post Your Pi(e)!

March 6, 2014 by Jon Elias

You don’t have to be a Mathematician to appreciate Pi Day! Most of us were required to take a bit of math in school, and depending on our experience in that class, Pi can either bring back fond memories or flashbacks of darker times. Whether you can recite Pi out to two hundred digits, or whether you had to Google why I didn’t use an “e” for Pi Day, I think we can all recognize one thing:

Pie is delicious!

That’s why for this upcoming Pi Day (March 14th, 3.14… get it?) Portland Pedal Power and Pacific Pie are teaming up and challenging you to Post Your Pi(e) on Facebook! We want to see how creative you can get by posting a picture of your Pi(e), whether it’s your favorite homemade slice of pie, a pie shaped like pi, a mathematical masterpiece of fine cuisine… whatever Pi(e) Day means to you!

Wow us with your artistic skills, and we will return the favor! The top three Facebook posts using the hashtag #PieDay and tagging both Portland Pedal Power and Pacific Pie will win a free sweet pie from Pacific Pie, to be delivered on March 14th by 3pm. Judging will be on creativity, quality, and peoples’ choice through shares and likes. To add a cherry to this sweet deal, just for Posting Your Pi(e), you’ll win a coupon for a free delivery from Pacific Pie, as long as you’re within our delivery area!

Submissions must be posted to Facebook by Wednesday, March 12th at 5pm and both Portland Pedal Power and Pacific Pie must be tagged in your post. Show us what you’ve got!
