March 14. Just a regular day? Not quite! It’s Pi Day (3.14) – and what better way to celebrate than with a delicious taste of pie. Here’s where to go to grab a slice in Edmonton.
Vi’s for Pies
This hidden gem is an Edmonton favourite for pies! Fantastic flavours like key lime or the traditional apple pie, get them by the slice or just take the whole pie (after all, you know you’ll want seconds…or thirds…).
13408 Stony Plain Rd, Edmonton
Fife N Dekel
When people stand in line just to grab a slice, you know the pie is good. And there’s nothing like Saskatoon rhubarb or flapper pie at Fife. Plus, you’ve gotta check out their rotating pie of the month – March is paradise pie.
