🍕 Great spot for a delicious meal!
We visited California Pizza Kitchen and were really impressed! The pizza was outstanding — thin, crispy crust, fresh ingredients, and unique but well-balanced flavors. The BBQ Chicken pizza was a standout — the sauce was amazing!
Service was excellent: friendly staff, fast and efficient, with a clean and cozy atmosphere. The interior is inviting and relaxed — perfect for a meal with friends or a casual dinner.
We’ll definitely be coming back! Highly recommend to anyone who enjoys quality pizza and good vibes.
Cpk now has the most abhorrent food ever! They have revamped the menu which is completely inedible. We will not return until they have something worth returning to.
We have been thoroughly enjoying the new CPK menu and the service. I love the new avocado rolls and had an excellent California club Pizza. We were all quite impressed as it's been 10 years since we had visited. But We like their rejuvenation!
Easy parking right downstairs, definitely will go again soon,!
Well, I took family out, and we had 3 main dishes. For me, I had the chicken Piccata, i would say 7. The taste was on the 🍋 side chicken, somewhat stiff. The pasta was good. Wife had shrimp scampi zucchini she rated it an 8 zucchini missing flavor. My girl had garlic fettuccine rated it a 7 missing flavor. I loved the wacamole and chips. Would have loved more refills, but they hardly came to check on us. Lighting and ambiance were good. In short, I would come back, just not the same food choices.

Terrible service, the food always takes a while to come out but this time was ridiculous. Definitely will not be going back.

They always take a long time to bring out the food. This time they took about an hour. There was not a lot of customers and they had plenty of staff which makes me confused why it took so long.
Nothing to write home about honestly the wait was insane with over an hour and 30 minutes to get food, after being seated. We didn’t get our entrees until about 30minutes.
ordered two pepperoni pizzas, one Macc and cheese. One shrimp jambalaya, came out to $150 total. Like I said nothing here to really write home about. You’re better off. Going to a local or traditional family pizza train if you don’t want to go ahead and waste money and time. This is gonna be an easy 5.5/10

Walked in to the restaurant to greet myself to the hostess (went out of my way to clearly get a table) her attitude was at least positive. Then ordered my food, came in reasonable time, hot and delicious. Although everything looked good, I didn’t find a single piece of chicken bigger than my nails…. As I was thinking of asking if it was usual, the manager asked me if everything was ok. I explained and he did a phenomenal job on offering me more! He himself told me the cooks are lacking on the sizing and they will work on it. My experience was unique enough to give me reason to write this and post it. Hope y'all enjoy this review as the consumer and the people who work at this company!
P.S. The picture is a reference of the biggest piece chicken I got

Unfortunately, I have to leave a negative review about California Pizza Kitchen. Every time we order, the pizza looks different, and the dough is always rubbery, not soft, and very hard to chew—it’s so bad that my gums hurt afterward. The last time we ordered, the pizza was drenched in oil, as if it had been fried in a pan with a huge amount of grease.
On top of that, there’s often an issue with the drinks. I order a regular Coke, but I’m served Diet Coke, which is often watered down. We’ve closed our eyes to these issues before, but once again, we were disappointed.

Very average food, had to wait a long time for the food to come and it was average at best. Definitely unique but for the price not worth it for me.
