The service was very friendly and good. The food is delicious. There are only plastic utensils on the table, but when we requested a real knife for this calzone, we got it quickly. It's a nice laid-back atmosphere. They have a pretty large beee draft selection and always have a rotating Arsenal Cider on tap, which I love.

a plate of chicken wings

Used to come to caliente often prepandemic for wings and the beer selection especially. First time since the pandemic and first time at the relatively new crafton location near where I work. $16 all you can eat wings on Tuesdays and $4 Great Lakes cans. Each day there is a special of some kind. The cool runnings sauce was exactly how I remembered it. The cry to mommy ghost pepper was sadly more mellow than I recall. Always compared the aroma to a stuffed pepper and heat that made you struggle a bit. This was way more mellow than I recall. Overall positive experience and attentive bartenders. Beer lineup was solid and offer flights which I appreciate.

First time coming in! Immediately greeted & sat, service was great! Restaurant had bar with big beer selection, large TV's- only negative to the atmosphere was the tables were a little too close together. Need a little more space between customers for privacy & space. For the food, definitely a 5/5! Ordered a large pepperoni pizza & the 10 bone in honey siracha wings. Both were big portions, served very hot, and tasted amazing! Ranch was delicious as well! Overall great experience and amazing food!

Holy moly our pizza was huge! We wanted something a little different from our norm so we landed on the Grandma Sunseri. Our server was so kind as to customize half of the pizza so that I didn't have to pick off the black olives. There was a good crunch to the crust and the toppings complimented the pie wonderfully. We both ordered beers from quite a larger selection of both draft and cans/bottles (mine wasn't one that I was crazy about....but that's no fault of the Draft House). We love the location in Robinson as it is easy to stop in on our way home from the burg, and we always get seats at the bar immediately.

Bayou Cajun Fries
J E.

Having just arrived (flight was delayed) and staying at a hotel in the area, I came here on a Sunday night for dinner... There was only one other patron in the joint when I got there, about an hour before they closed. I sat at the bar and the bartender was helpful and friendly and explained the menu nicely... he also checked on me during my stay. The food was awesome! I really liked the fries that came with Cajun seasoning and ranch on them... I got a side of their extremely hot sauce, called "Cry to Mama" and that stuff was VERY HOTTTT!!!! But it wasn't just straight, silly heat, like so many other hot things, it had a very nice, smokey flavor to it too! I am glad I got it on the side though, as I was able to dip my fries in it, rather than deal with having it on all my fries (Tip: Get it on the side!!). I also ordered their Luca Brasi pizza, as I wanted a little flavor and spice for my pizza. I had been to a Caliente (the one in Sewickley) before, but had a sub, so I never had tried their pizza and I wanted to give it a try. I have to say that the toppings, sauce, and assembly was great... The only issue was the crust was too thick for a hand-tossed-style pizza. They could have knocked off a ¼" of that crust and the ratio of toppings to crust would have been so much better. Overall - Highly recommend stopping in to a Caliente! This is my second visit to one of their joints and I really liked both!

Afternoon sun on a March Sunday

Food 5 stars. Ambiance 1 Asked to sit at table, was an issue, so sat at bar. Courtesy is to give a napkin. I don't want to open a plastic set to eat in. Also WTF do you have Styrofoam containers? Absolute cancer to the environment. Now I'm stuck with them. Loud bartender and coworker who sat at the bar the entire time and never stopped talking. I've never heard more "tripping balls" than hanging out w my bf and his friends. Maybe this is "the karening" of me, but I LITERALLY had to leave to have a moment without that nonstop voice!!! Yeah, I had a long couple Days working a similar job, and wanted to come out and relax. But the nonstop inescapable musings of the wisdom of someone who sounds like Pamela Anderson, I just could not. If you're not seating people, and a mature couple comes in, chill on the loud bat stories maybe? Nobody is impressed. Did I just become ancient? Bonus, thanks for the 2 free Long Islands for my partner!!

Brooklyn pepperoni pizza
Nena U.

The fresh cut fries are absolutely perfect and the Brooklyn pepperoni pizza makes me weak in the knees!!!!!!

Garlic parm fries
Natalie S.

We ordered for pickup and it was ready in about 20 minutes! Started off with the garlic parm fries but disappointingly they lacked the garlic. The fries were fresh cut and delicious. We HAD to get the meemaw based on the description alone but unfortunately we were underwhelmed by the flavor. It boasted of "a five-day, fermented pan dough. Topped it with a little bit of extra virgin olive oil, 3-year-old aged Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese and rapini, which is a green grown in Italy. It's cooked with onions, shallots, pepper bacon and crushed plum tomatoes. Then it's topped with porchetta, which is made in Italy. I sliced that and put it on the pan pizza then I topped it with shaved parmesan, a little bit of black pecorino, truffle cheese." All of those wonderful cheeses, truffle cheese, flavorful porchetta just fell short. We'll definitely try again and hopefully the flavor will be worth the price

Todays tap selection
Tom M.

Good times at Crafton Caliente's! We were here on Saturday afternoon. Although they were moderately busy, the service was prompt and precise. The waitress offered several good drink selections based on our likes. I had 3 different drafts and all of them live up to expectations. The draft selection is well balanced and thought out. We had fresh cut fries as appetizer and they were thick, properly deep fried with the right amount of salty flavoring. It had an inviting vibe. After about 90 minutes the vibe changed. I noticed a few tables getting subpar service. Then I felt ghosted so we decided to move on and take the good time wow where else. Maybe the staff should consider teamwork.

Very disappointed. $65 for a pizza and 10 wings. The pizza had all kind of extra junk on it and the wings were undercooked.

Great pizza and a solid beer list. The bartender was knowledgeable about the beers, which is important for a place serving craft beer.

The food is so yummy. This is my favorite pizza in the Burgh. I loved my server and the overall classic vibe of Caliente!

Overall really enjoyed this place. I think it is family owned - the owner and his ~10 year old son…read morewere sitting at the front of the restaurant.l at the hosts desk. His son took me to my table. The waitress was attentive and very friendly. I ordered the honey pecan crusted salmon and opted for carrots and broccoli as my side. The waitress brought bread and a garlic/oil dish to dip the bread in. The garlic/oil was so yummy, I could've just ate the bread without any dinner! I was also surprised to see I got a large portion of food when the plate came out! Most places these days you don't get much bang for your buck. The salmon was delicious, and so were the carrots and broccoli. My soda was flat and I asked the waitress about it and she fixed it. I ordered the flourless chocolate torte for dessert and liked that too. I wonder what the ingredients were, because there was a bit of spice to it that I couldn't quite place my finger on. The only improvements I think could be made are the ambience was loud. There was a large party in the dining room next to me and they were a loud family with children running and screaming all over the place (I understand this isn't within the realm of control for the restaurant). That itself wasn't unpleasant, it would just be nice if there was some strategic sound dampening. On their website I had signed up for a $10 coupon that never came in my email (not sure if I'm supposed to wait days for it...?). Another thing I noticed on their website is that they charge $10 for a split plate. I'm assuming this means if you come as two people and decide to order one plate of food but split it, they charge for that. That seems really weird. People shouldn't be charged for splitting their food, if that's what that is. They also charge you a transaction fee for using a credit card. Next time I'm in Pittsburgh I'll be coming back. It was nice to eat something that wasn't a burger and fries, since there are so many of those types of places in Pittsburgh.

Dropped in yesterday around 5:30 and were promptly seated. The restaurant still looks much as it…read moredid when it was another restaurant by name. The service was very good with descriptions of the menu items that allowed us to make informed decisions. The stuffed hot peppers were as good as I have had anywhere. The sausage was spicy the way I like and the portion was enough to be an entree. Will go back just to order this again. There were four of us and everyone was very pleased with the look, taste, and amount of their meals. All of us had take-home which was packaged by our server. DeBlaze at 131 highlights the variety of very good restaurants to be found in Carnegie.
