Here is how you can create a 3D pie chart. 

This a based on my previous blog here:
How to make a Pie chart
In the Pie Chart post, you will learn how to create and divide a pie chart using percentages of data.

​Start with basics in the pie chart blog to make the pie chart, then pick up here to work on the 3D.

In this version, I divided the "donut" into multiple sections, then used the Divide function in the Pathfinder panel. The ungroup the sections to be able to change the color of each.

Change each section of the pie to a different color. You can use bolder colors as you will see later in the steps. They will be changed to a lighter color.In this version, I divided the "donut" into multiple sections, then used the Divide function in the Pathfinder panel. The ungroup the sections to be able to change the color of each.
Picture
Select all the sections and squish the shape vertically to create an oval. 

Picture
With the oval selected, hit the return key to call up the Move dialog box. Set the vertical movement to a very small amount. In this case a negative number will the copy up. Press COPY to duplicate the shape.

Picture
Once you perform the Move, duplicate the shape (COMMAND + D) several time (LOTS of times) to create a stack of shapes to create dimensions.

Change the top layer to a lighter version of the color on the top of each shape to create a lighting effect and the darker colors remain on the sides.
