California Pizza Kitchen offers a cozy atmosphere with great service. Guests appreciate the polite and attentive staff, particularly a server named Crystal, who is noted for her kindness. The food and drinks are served quickly and are delicious, with highlights like the Red Berry Sangria and Mexican Street Corn. The lively vibe makes it a perfect spot to unwind. Some servers may not be as quick, but Andie's exceptional service stands out. Customers also enjoy unique offerings like the ketchup-pizza combo, which has a crispy crust, rich sauce, and a surprising ketchup twist that many find addictive. While the restaurant maintains a fun and lively environment, some find the atmosphere noisy and feel the pizza quality has declined, with opinions suggesting that the concept no longer feels as innovative. Despite occasional wait times—sometimes around 30 minutes even with available tables—guests generally find the pizza and pasta tasty, and the friendly service makes up for the delays. Overall, it remains a popular choice for pizza lovers and those looking for a casual dining experience.
