March 14th is a day proudly celebrated by mathematicians, scientists, and all those who appreciate their work. It's Pi Day! Since pi is approximately equal to 3.14, it makes sense to celebrate this mathematical constant mid-March. So, how does one celebrate an irrational number? One option is to eat a pizza from a top Rockford restaurant. Here are a few pizza restaurants our real estate agents recommend visiting for the occasion.Â
- Pino's on Main Pizza: 2511 N. Main St., Rockford, IL 61103
Pino's on Main Pizza is an authentic Italian restaurant that has served Rockford residents for more than 30 years. Their pizza features a thin and crispy crust, flavorful cheese, and bountiful toppings. You can eat it in-house or opt for carryout or delivery.
Pino's allows you to choose your pizza sauce. Alfredo sauce, barbecue sauce, and garlic butter are delicious and unique choices. If the default thin crust isn't your thing, you can instead opt for stuffed crust or thick crust. They even offer a gluten-free option.
- Opsahl's Pizza: 3301 11th St., Rockford, IL 61109
Stop by Opsahl's Pizza to celebrate Pi Day, then visit some Rockford homes for sale while you're in the area. Opsahl's is a family-run restaurant with a full bar, gaming machines, and laid-back atmosphere. It's a great place to go with a big group of friends. The restaurant even serves a huge, 24" pizza called the Big Kahuna.
Another favorite at Opsahl's is the Chicken Ranchero Pizza, topped with refried beans, ranch dressing, green peppers, onions, mozzarella, and cheddar. The Meat Lover's pizza is also popular.
- Marie's Pizza of Rockford: 1513 Charles St., Rockford, IL 61104
Marie's Pizza has a long and rich history. The restaurant first opened in 1986, and to this very day, they make their food using traditional Italian ingredients and recipes. They offer thin crust pizza, pan pizza, and stuffed pizza. So, regardless of your pizza preferences, you're sure to have them satisfied here.
Marie's is a great place to dine in since they also have a full bar with a great selection of desserts. Celebrate Pi Day with pizza and a slice of cheesecake, or even pizza and a cannoli.Â
- Woodfire Rockford: 408 E. State St., Rockford, IL 61104
If you prefer wood-fired pizza, Woodfire Rockford is the place to celebrate Pi Day. All of their pizzas are baked in a real, high-temperature, wood-fired oven, which gives them that characteristic crispiness and char.
The Margherita Pizza at Woodfire Rockford is a simple but enjoyable favorite. Guests also rave about the Sausage and Mushroom Pizza, along with the Artichoke and Gorgonzola Pizza. Don't leave without trying the Apple Pie Pizza for dessert! It's a must-have, especially on Pi Day.
- Mamma Mia's Pizza: 1139 N. Alpine Rd., Rockford, IL 61107
Mamma Mia's Pizza is a good choice if you'd rather order delivery on Pi Day. While they do have a dining area, it is small, and most of their business is takeout. They serve traditional, New York-style, thin crust pizza, which isn't that easy to come by in the Rockford area. Guests also enjoy their gluten-free and cauliflower crust pizzas.
Mamma Mia's has a good assortment of creative pies, such as their Mama's Mobster Pizza made with Italian beef, meatballs, Italian sausage, and giardiniera.
