Holiday mode at Caliente Pizza & Draft House

It’s December and we’ve switched into full holiday mode here at Caliente Pizza & Draft House! All three of our locations in Bloomfield, Mount Lebanon, and Hampton Township will be bringing you a month’s worth of events that not only showcase our joy for the season, but bring you an opportunity to grab some swag, meet a pretty big beer personality, and, as always, wrap your hands around some of the best beers available.

As the final month of 2017 winds down and we get ready to wipe the slate clean, we’d like to take this opportunity to thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for visiting Caliente throughout the year. We strive to deliver the best pizza, best beer, and best experience to you 365 days a year and without you, following through on that mission wouldn’t be worth it. We look forward to seeing you more in 2018 and sharing some incredible pies and adult beverages with you.

But before we get to 2018, let’s have some fun in December! Here’s what we have on tap at all three locations this month:
