Caliente Pizza and Draft House

On craft beer, the page says the business became known as the place to go for hard to source specialty drafts and bottles from around the country and across the globe. The location pages describe "The Hottest Draft Lists in The Burgh" and say the tap lists are updated on a regular basis.

The awards stated on the page are: winning "the Best Pan Pizza in the World with the Quack Attack duck pie at the 2016 International Pizza Expo"; a year later, another general manager within the company won the World's Largest Pizza Stretch; and "The Mee-Maw was named the Best Pizza in America in 2019." The page adds there are "too many awards to count." The homepage separately uses the phrase "10X WORLD PIZZA CHAMPS" without listing the individual years. The company says it represents Pittsburgh with The World Pizza Champions Team.

Services published on the site include dine-in, pickup and delivery ordering, a catering menu for pick up and delivery, party room rentals for private events, a Cash Cow fundraising program for organizations, and a take-home Caliente Pizza Kit. The menu page lists categories including Pre-Game Starters, Award-Winning Pizzas, Gourmet Pizzas, Grandma's Pies, Brooklyn Style, Detroit Style, Chicago Thin Crust, St. Louis Style, Pan Pizza, Build Your Own, Craft Burgers, Wings, Hoagies, Fresh Salads, Desserts, Beverages, Kids, Beers To Go, Daily Specials, Happy Hour and Caliente Catering.

The homepage advertises happy hour "Weekdays 5:00PM - 7:00PM" and "Late Nights Friday and Saturday 9:00PM - 11:00PM." To contact the company, the site provides a contact form at worldsbestpizza.com/contact-us and a phone number for each location. Menus and prices change, so confirm current details with the location directly.

Lists Holiday, Liberty, Hampton, Chicago, Detroit, Bloomfield, Brooklyn, and Buffalo as a location. Names Pennsylvania and United States as a service area. Areas beyond these are not published.

Group pizza pricing is listed as Five Pizzas - Any Way at LG 100 and XL 120, and Ten Pizzas - Any Way at LG 190 and XL 220. Bone-in wings and boneless wings are both listed as "Market Price," so the cost for wings is not fixed on the page. Salad Dressing Quarts range from 14 to 24 depending on the dressing, and a Wing Sauce Quart is listed at 14.

These are the rates as published on the menu page; menus and prices change, so ask the location for a current quote or estimate. To place a catering order or ask about cost, call the location directly or use the contact form on the site.

Caliente Pizza and Draft House rents party rooms for private events. The room rentals page is headed "The Perfect Space for Your Special Occasion" and states the starting price verbatim: "Starting at just $9.99 per person for One Topping Pizzas and Unlimited Soda!" The page links to a "PARTY ROOM RATES PDF" for the full rates.

Booking is handled through an online interest form rather than an instant reservation. The form collects a group contact person, email, phone, group name, number of people, event date, and the location. The locations selectable on the rental form are Bloomfield, Mount Lebanon, Aspinwall, Crafton, North Hills and Dough Daddy Brewery. After the form is submitted the page states: "This is just an estimate. A representative will be in touch with you to finalize any details. Payment Information will be collected based on a post-consultation agreement." So the published process is: submit the form, get an estimate, then a representative contacts you to schedule and finalize the booking.

The form prices upgrades per person on top of the base package. Listed tiers are $3 upgrades (fresh cut fries, garden salad, breadstix, tater tots, custom 4 topping pizza, or any 4 gourmet pizzas, plus donut ball desserts), $4 upgrades (breaded zucchini, mozzarella sticks, hushpuppies, pierogies, loaded fries, buffalo ranch fries, antipasta, mediterranean salad, cheesinators, hoagies, meatballs, chicken fingers), $5 upgrades (salads and boneless wings), $8 upgrades (bone-in wings) and $1 wing upgrades (ranch, bleu cheese, celery).

The page does not publish room capacities, room sizes, minimum guest counts, deposit amounts, cancellation fees or which dates are open. Rates change, so treat the figures above as what the page published and confirm the cost with the representative who handles the booking.

To book a fundraiser, the site provides a form asking for the organization name, contact name, phone, email, the location wanted, the date (only Monday through Thursday), and whether the event runs all day or a specific time frame. The locations selectable on the fundraising form are Bloomfield, Hampton, Mount Lebanon, Aspinwall, Monroeville, Sewickley, Crafton and North Hills.

The page does not publish a minimum group size, a cost or fee to run the fundraiser, how far in advance to schedule, or which dates are open. Confirm those when you contact the location to schedule the event.

Ask anyway — the agent will say plainly that it is not published rather than guess.
