Caliente Pizza to open restaurant in Green Tree
Caliente Pizza & Draft House will open a new location in Green Tree this spring.
Locally owned and operated, the Green Tree spot is Caliente’s sixth since opening in Bloomfield less than eight years ago.
The 6,500-square-foot space is near the intersection of Mansfield Avenue and Noblestown Road, not far from the parkway. Locals may know it as the Hop House.
Nick and Angie Bogacz, who founded Caliente in 2012, have rapidly expanded the restaurant chain throughout the Pittsburgh region.
“This will be our first location in the western suburbs, so we’re looking forward to joining the Green Tree community,” said Nick Bogacz. “We know the Hop House was a popular spot for Green Tree residents, so we’re excited to bring gourmet pizza and unique craft beers to the neighborhood.”
As with its other locations in Bloomfield, Hampton, Aspinwall, Mt. Lebanon and Monroeville, Caliente will offer its full menu for dine-in, take-out and delivery options.
One of Caliente’s signature items is the “Mee-Maw” pie, judged the 2019 Best Pizza in America at the Pizza World Championship in Parma, Italy. It was created by chef Eric Von Hansen and named after his Italian mother and grandmother.
The “Mee-Maw” pie is topped with porchetta, rapini and aged parmesean.
The opening date for the new Caliente location in Green Tree has not been finalized yet.
