Caliente Pizza & Drafthouse - Bloomfield

Honestly one of the worst pizzas I have ever heard, I don’t understand what the hype is about it, I am super disappointed, I don’t need a massage from the owners I am not going to try again.

Ordered a simple 8 slice pizza, after a 30 minute wait I saw MY pizza get placed at another table. Those customers proceeded to grab a slice until they realize it wasn’t theirs and placed it back down. 10 seconds later the server brought out their pizza, grabbed ours, and brought it over to my table. As in the same pizza these other customers touched.

Now for the pizza itself. It was a basic pepperoni and banana peppers 16” pizza. Worst pizza I have ever had hands down. Dough uncooked, uneven dough, overly cheesed (so much it didn’t melt all the way and was still in shreds), way too many toppings, and to top it off they managed to cut only 7 slices all of which were different sizes.

I've never been treated as badly at a restaurant in my life. I don't like to ever write a review about a business especially a bad one but... I will never be back to Sewickley even though the pizza and food is delicious. I was mortified and embarrassed they way they treated me in front of customers over my bill by the manager. Two other things to mention I waited at least 30 minutes to even to be acknowledged at the bar for a drink and with two bartenders there and not a full bar was quite ridiculous. Then my food was never ordered which accidents do happen and had to wait yet again while my friends all were done eating and left because it took so long and we were moving on to the next place.

Food was fire! Girls were kind and welcoming. Great atmosphere. Will definitely visit again!!

I’m from the tri state so I wasn’t impressed by the pizza because they don’t use mozzarella. That’s a disappointment for me. The wings were 🔥 fire (literally and figuratively).

Happy hour at Caliente is perhaps one of thee most underrated aspect of Bloomfield currently (2025). Weekdays half off drinks from 430-630, a decent selection of discounted food and craft beers, and great service - what more could you ask for in a college town?

s/o Kandace and Lindsey for being amazing servers!!!

The pizza here was nothing special - just average - but the real highlight is Dough Daddy brewery beers on tap. The beer selection was above average and definitely worth trying if you’re a craft beer fan.
Service was good and attentive, and prices were reasonable for the area, which is always appreciated.

Overall, I’d come back for the beers and friendly service, but wouldn’t go out of my way for the pizza specifically. It’s a decent neighborhood spot if you’re looking for a casual meal with good drinks.

We ordered a calzone and asked not to have any ricotta cheese in it. My wife can’t eat ricotta cheese and the waiter said it has a cheese blend but it’s not ricotta ….well it showed up with ricotta in it anyways! She wasn’t very happy and I gotta admit it was really good…lol I would definitely go back but next time I’ll get pizza or a sandwich. For an appetizer we got the pierogies they were amazing so she did not go hungry.

Heard such great things about this place so we tried it for lunch since we were going to visit a friend in the hospital down the street. We were there at noon and it was so dark in the restaurant we had to use our phone flashlights to read the menu and the music was unreasonably loud for us being the only people in the place and for some reason it was only 90s rap music. We started with zucchini strips but they didn't have any so we ordered cheese sticks. Then I ordered the chicken tenders, but they didn't have them so I had a grilled chicken salad. We ordered a godfather sub to-go for our friend in the hospital but were informed that they were out of ham and steak so I asked if they could make it with double one of the other meats. She brought out the cheese sticks but the marinara sauce was so cold that it was stiff and we asked if it could be nuked to warm it up. She took it and 10 minutes later brought it back warm but now the cheese sticks were stone cold. I got my salad and asked for another ranch dressing and was informed that there would be an additional charge for it so I just laughed and said nevermind. Not sure what all of their awards are for but we weren't impressed and don't see any reason to go back.

First time going today. GREAT pizza. The crust was thin, no greasy bottom AND THE PEPPERONIS CURLED UP AND WERE CRUNCHY. New pizza place for me/

Came in town for a game. We ended up at this location by accident. Poor girl serving inside was all alone and looked like she was struggling. They were out of a lot of stuff too on a Sunday football day. Needs serious help!
