Caliente Pizza & Drafthouse

Best pizza in the Burgh! I love the vibes in there and I always have a great server. One of my go to spots.

Let me tell you about my adventure at Caliente Pizza & Draft House, where I ventured for a slice of their Motor City Madness pizza. First things first - the pizza? Absolute perfection. Imagine a pie so loaded with cheese, toppings with a touch of honey, and flavor that it could make a Detroit native shed a tear of joy. The crust was that perfect mix of crispy and chewy; the sauce had just the right amount of zing, and the toppings... well, let's just say they didn't skimp. This was a pizza that meant business. But then, there's the "modern convenience" side of things. You know, the part where you try to post a picture of your glorious pizza on Instagram or check your messages while you wait. Yeah, that's where things went a little sideways. I swear, as soon as I walked in, my cell signal went AWOL like it was dodging a draft. And the WiFi? Let's just say it was more of a suggestion than an actual service. If you're trying to check emails or stream a show, you're better off drawing pictures on a napkin. So, here's the deal: If you're in the mood for some Motor City Madness that's so good it should come with a seatbelt, Caliente Pizza & Draft House is your place. But if you're planning to catch up on your social media while you wait, maybe bring a carrier pigeon. Because when it comes to WiFi, this place is still stuck in dial-up.

We really like Caliente's pizza. We have been to two other ones around the city. This was our first time here. First of all parking wasn't too bad. There was a parking lot across the street but we got here on a Sunday late afternoon and got street parking. We walked in and it wasn't too busy. So we went to the bar. Football was on so we got good seats. The bartender greeted us and we got drinks right away. I think this Caliente's is our favorite one. The atmosphere was good and I like the bar and eating areas a lot better than the other ones that we have been too. We usually get the vegan pizza and this pizza was better than the other restaurants too. They put the vegan pepperoni under the cheese which helped it not get too crispy and burned. That was my one compliant at the other ones. It was too crispy and burned. I don't know if they always do that here but I will request it next time. Overall we really like this restaurant and the staff was pleasant. We will be back to try this one again very soon.
