For Pi Day on March 14, East Village Pizza in New York City is shunning the traditional low-priced promos and instead offering a luxury twist on a fan-favorite menu item: its first-ever limited-edition 24K gold-speckled Margherita pizza.
The premium pie will be available for one day only, while supplies last, and costs a princely $150, with no single slices available. “Each pie is designed to offer patrons a dining experience that’s as memorable and unique as it is delicious,” the company announced. “The meticulous attention to detail—the hand-tossed dough, fresh high-quality ingredients, and the carefully placed 24K gold flakes—highlights the pizzeria’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of culinary excellence and customer satisfaction. Known for seamlessly blending tradition with innovation, East Village Pizza is taking this year’s Pi Day celebrations to new heights with this unique creation.”
“I’m excited to debut this first-of-its-kind pizza,” adds Frank Kabatas, owner and operator of East Village Pizza. “This gold-speckled creation is our way of celebrating Pi Day in true East Village Pizza style—combining our tradition of quality with a unique spin on our best-selling classic to create a truly unforgettable, high-end dining experience for our customers. We’re excited to offer a little ‘slice’ of luxury to our customers with this exclusive pie.”

Despite its luxury Pi Day LTO, East Village Pizza in New York City—located in the East Village neighborhood of Manhattan—has garnered a reputation for serving no-frills pizza to locals and visitors alike. When precious metals aren’t involved, East Village Pizza loads pies with a generous portion of toppings, ensuring every customer receives maximum value with each slice.
The restaurant is also the birthplace of several signature dishes, including the double-stacked pizza and cheesy garlic knots. While showcasing these creations, East Village Pizza has earned over 1.7 million followers on its Instagram account and more than 1.5 million likes on TikTok.
In addition to specialty items like the 24K LTO, East Village Pizza serves traditional best sellers like Margherita and Pepperoni pies. The pizzeria has received praise as the Best Pizza in Manhattan by Good Day New York‘s Best of the Boroughs competition. It was also recently featured on Good Morning America and in the New York Post.
