Small-Batch Virginia Peanuts, Made in Reston

Pi’s Peanuts is a Reston, Virginia small business making Virginia peanuts in small batches. Each batch gets a crisp, sweet-and-salty candy coating, with flavors ranging from no pepper heat to some of the hottest peppers in the world.

The name “Pi” carries a bit of family history. It was the nickname of both my grandfather and my father, and for a brief time during my youth basketball years, it became my nickname too. As a kid, I clearly remember him frequently grabbing a handful of peanuts from the can. They were his favorite snack.

Pi’s Peanuts brings those memories together in every batch: family tradition, Virginia peanuts, a satisfying crunch, and flavors ranging from mild and sweet to seriously hot.
