What you want is a disjunctive number, also called rich number or universe number.

It is an infinite number where every possible sequence of digits is present, and therefore, such a number contains the code of a self aware program, as well as the complete description of our own universe (hence the name "universe number") and even the simulation that runs it, if such things exist.

We don't know if pi is a disjunctive number, for what we know, though unlikely, the decimal representation of pi may only have a finite number of zeroes. It means we don't have the answer to your question.
