You can’t do a search for a simple pie chart tool?  Here is one that Google 
offers:

I’m not sure why that matters so much.  You have a set of numbers you want 
to turn into a pie chart graphic.  That’s just not something that screams 
for a GUI much more advanced than drag and drop.

For some things I agree that makes a lot of sense.  But if it is truly 
“nothing fancy” as you say, I don’t understand what is so difficult about 
grabbing a template file from a free SVG site and just editing the text to 
give the specific results you want.
