OUR STORY
What Makes Our Square-Pan Pizza So Genius?
Pan-style pizza has a fascinating backstory that begins with American troops returning from Europe after World War II. Many of these servicemen had developed a taste for the deep-pan pizzas they enjoyed while stationed overseas, and upon their return, they longed for that hearty, satisfying pizza experience. This growing demand for a robust pizza inspired enterprising entrepreneurs to create a new style that would capture the essence of the European pizza they had grown to love. They innovatively repurposed deep, rectangular pans originally used in the automotive industry to bake their pizzas, which allowed them to achieve a uniquely thick and crispy crust. By spreading cheese all the way to the edges of the pan, they created a caramelized, savory layer that became the defining characteristic of the square-pan style pizza, quickly gaining popularity and becoming a cherished local favorite.
At Pi Squared Pizza in Hendersonville, we are dedicated to celebrating and preserving the rich heritage of this pizza with authenticity and care. Our dough is expertly crafted to achieve the perfect combination of a crispy, golden-brown crust and a tender, airy interior, reflecting the traditional texture that defines this iconic style. We use only the highest quality, locally-sourced ingredients, including a specially selected blend of cheeses that enhance the rich and satisfying flavor profile. Each pizza is carefully baked in seasoned pans to ensure the signature caramelized edges that are so beloved. With every slice, we aim to offer a genuine taste of square-pan pizza, honoring its origins and the innovative spirit that led to its creation. We invite you to experience the delicious legacy of this remarkable pizza style, crafted with the same passion and attention to detail that first brought it to life.

What’s in a Name?
Pi Squared is a name that cleverly combines a nod to the mathematical symbol “π” and its connection to the concept of endless possibilities with a playful twist on pizza. The term “pi” symbolizes a mathematical constant that represents the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter, reflecting the idea of precision and perfect balance, much like our approach to pizza-making. By squaring it, we emphasize the idea of taking this classic concept and elevating it to new dimensions. We proudly serve pan pizza that is famously square, too. The name “Pi Squared” thus represents our commitment to both honoring traditional pizza craftsmanship and innovating with creative, delicious combinations that push the boundaries of what pizza can be, all served in a square shape that celebrates the iconic pan-style pizza.
