Caliente Pizza & Drafthouse

Caliente’s first location opened in 2012 on a handshake. After years working in the pizza industry, owner Nick Bogacz, along with his wife Angie, had a deal in place to open their own pizzeria. After Caliente Pizza and Draft House became recognized as the best new pizza place in the city, we exploded. We took our product on the road to the industry events, and Nick's childhood friend joined the team, and not uncoincidentally, we won the Best Pan Pizza in the World with the Quack Attack at the 2016 International Pizza Expo. A year later, another GM within our company won the World’s Largest Pizza Stretch, and the list goes on with too many awards to count. (OK, one more: The Mee-Maw was named the Best Pizza in America in 2019.)
