I waited for ten minutes in the restaurant and no one came to greet me! I called a waiter and he said he was only responsible for the drinks and had nothing to do with ordering! The overall service atmosphere is very poor!

Under any conditions... Pizza. On a stormy Saturday night we traversed a treacherous journey on a scooter and stumbled in, soaking, to this CPK. A warm and welcome safe haven from the torrential downpour, we were ready for a slice or two. Sam Smith echoed overheard as we made our way to the table; a booth for two. The menu, while sticky, was well priced and expressed a great variety of items - some classic... some questionable. A trip to the bathroom to wash the mysterious menu substance off my hands revealed a restroom in which everything was slanted: leaning to one direction. The ladies restroom appeared to be the victim of a large earthquake but nonetheless functioned properly. The men's restroom, as per my partner, exhibited none of these symptoms. Our waiter who I found needed a Xanax was very accommodating and quick to take our order. For drinks we got an endless sunshine and a strawberry mocktail. For food, we shared The Works, a pizza with... The works. As we waited for our food to arrive we noticed that the tables were being immaculately cleaned and polished by one of the quickest bussers this side of the Mississippi. Whatever he's getting paid isn't enough for his vigorous cleaning and shining. Moments later our food arrived. The journey had drained us and we were ready to replenish our spirits with pizza. We dug in and it was only within a matter of minutes that the pie had vanished. Ravenous we may have been, but that was not a true reflection to the nature of the pizza. Although satiating and a generally enjoyable eat, it had a hint of frozen pizza nature. Although abundantly clear that it was cooked fresh with near front row views of the pizza oven and the chef, we couldn't help but shake the feeling that we could've thrown a frozen one in the oven to achieve the same result. Our drinks had a similar but expected chain restaurant sweetness. A little TLC, salt in particular, helped address the syrupy sweetness. Nonetheless we found the drinks enjoyable although we wish the cocktail was boozier. We felt that maybe we had outgrown the taste for CPK. It seemed that every other patron was stopping in after their high school winter formal. Wet, hormonal, and ready for pizza.

Good salads but overpriced for what you get. Service is good, place is well organized.

Very slow. Cashier guy said 10 minutes and we wanted 30 minutes to get pizza. It takes them a long time.

The food is always good. But our waiter forgot one of the drinks and didn't really check in. They were not super busy.Kid-friendliness: Kid menu is always good. The activities keep them entertained.
Oddly empty. Food was good and service was good. Prices increased tho.

Quality of the food is is nowhere near the hayday of CPK. Tastes more like microwaved packaged food than actual restaurant food.

The bbq chicken salad, no chicken add avo, Is by far one of my favorite salads in Santa Barbara. I go to other CPK locations and even though it's the same ingredients it never tastes the same. Maybe that's just me. Iv tried to mimic this salad at home but i don't have that magic CPK touch. I also love the hours at this location, I know I can go in for a "late night" meal, I think they close at 10 :/ They're typically not too crowded and you barely ever have to wait to be seated.

Nice location of CPK at Paseo Nuevo. We came here for lunch, and the service provided by Angel was great- very friendly. We all enjoyed our dishes- chicken piccata, margherita pizza, and lunch duo of wild mushroom pizza and chopped salad. The lunch combo is perfect in that you can get 7" pizza and either a salad or soup. Sandwiches are an option also.
Sad that the one in Fresno closed. Love CPK!
