Putting Pittsburgh Pizza on the Map: The Caliente Story
‍
My first day in the pizza industry was in 1996 at a pizzeria in Hampton Township, not far from my home. While making my very first delivery, I wrecked my car. Fortunately, my mother was able to lend me hers so I could finish the shift and save some face. Rather than get me down, though, the moment taught me two important lessons: Keep doing your best, even when life throws obstacles in your way, and you can always rely on your family. We follow those lessons here at Caliente Pizza & Draft House, where roadblocks don’t stop us from following our dreams, and everyone is part of our ever-growing family. That includes you, too. I guess you can say we made it, but we’re not going to rest. We’ll keep doing our best to get better and keep Pittsburgh on the global pizza map, as we now also represent our city with The World Pizza Champions Team, made up of elite pizza makers from all over the world. Caliente’s just getting started. Oh, and welcome to the family.
