The Heat is On: Why the Cali Burn is Retro Pie’s Boldest Creation
If you’re looking for a pizza that brings the heat without sacrificing flavor, look no further than the Cali Burn at Retro Pie Pizzeria in Manteca. While we are famous for our signature artisanal crusts and unique toppings, the Cali Burn is specifically designed for those who crave a little extra "glow" with their meal.
The Flavor Profile
The Cali Burn isn't just spicy; it’s a masterclass in balance. It takes inspiration from the vibrant, bold ingredients that define West Coast flavors. While it sits alongside our other fan favorites like the Signature Pies—which brought in over $31,628 in sales last quarter —the Cali Burn is in a league of its own for spice enthusiasts.
What Makes it a "Burn"?
The secret is in the heat. It features a blend of peppers that provides a radiant, slow-smoldering burn that hits fast and lingers just long enough to keep you reaching for your drink. It’s the perfect companion to one of our 1,252 craft beers served last season.
