Renowned restaurant Caliente Pizza & Draft House has opened its 8th Pittsburgh location at 2125 Babcock Blvd. This new location marks a major expansion for Caliente, continuing the cherished legacy of Silvioni’s Restaurant, a Pittsburgh staple for 67 years.
The five-time World Pizza Champion is known for its gourmet pizzas and craft beers. Caliente was founded in 2012 and its Mee-Maw Pizza earned the title of Best Pizza in America in 2019. Caliente also serves at Acrisure Stadium, PPG Arena, PNC Park, Beaver Stadium and Pegula Arena.
The new location off Babcock Blvd. will feature Caliente’s well-known selection of world championship pizza styles, an extensive draft list, and the same commitment to excellence that has made Caliente a fan favorite.
Nick Bogacz, founder and CEO of Caliente Pizza and Draft House, expressed enthusiasm for this new chapter: “We are thrilled to extend our reach further into the North Hills, a community close to our hearts. The transition to Caliente Pizza and Draft House will bring new life to Babcock Blvd, continuing the rich tradition of Silvioni’s with our unique flavor and service.”
