    Definitely my favorite of the locations. I think this place does the crust just right. Love a margarita pizza, maybe sometimes it's a little skinny on the mozzarella, but overall very good.

    We decided to try dine-in at Caliente tonight. We have had awful experiences ordering pizza for take out in the past, waiting upwards of an hour after the pick up time. Tonight was just as painful. We ordered 2 pizzas… 45 minutes later we received a barely warm cheese pizza that we saw waiting at the window for almost 10 minutes before it was brought to us. 20 minutes later we left, never getting our second pizza. It was another extremely disappointing outing and we won’t be going back. We can find over priced pizza somewhere else.

    This was a first at the Rte.8 Caliente's where they had only one server and she was new and very lost. It was very busy and we felt bad for the server. She took or order quickly but we never got anything including our drinks after about 20 minutes, she went into the kitchen and never came back out. We left after about 25 minutes. Other people in there that we talked to were having same problems.

    Cool place! We had the pizza and we loved it. The crust was thin and crispy which is how we like it. The service was ok, but it was extremely busy so that was to be expected. Overall was a great experience for us.
