Caliente Pizza and Bar, Pittsburgh

Beneath the vibrant glow of its pink neon sign, Caliente Pizza and Draft House's kitchen rolls out platters of pub fare until the late-night hour of 2 a.m. Feasts of pizzas, wings, and hoagies unfold upon tabletops in the restaurant's chalkboard walled dining area, and the full bar’s more than 100 craft and import beers and 20 draft beers, specialty cocktails, and daily happy-hour specials wash down savory morsels. Customers can also create their own gourmet pizza from a choice of 25 different toppings. Flat-screen TVs line the walls, broadcasting sports games to distract guests from the urge to blackmail the chef for free meals every night.
