California Pizza Kitchen Reviews
Nice place to dine. Hanging out with my family.
I ordered focaccia, but received pizza crust instead. The two are completely different. Focaccia is soft and spongy, whereas the pizza crust was too dry and tough to eat. I threw it away because it was practically inedible. I do not understand how a pizza restaurant has no clue what focaccia actually is. If you don't know how to make it correctly, remove it from the menu, instead of falsely advertising the dish.

California Pizza Kitchen receives mixed reviews. The restaurant offers good pizzas and pastas, with specific meals like Spicy Buffalo Cauliflower, NEW Crispy Chinese Dumpling Salad, Steak House Salad, Salmon Fettuccine Piccata, and Upside Down Cheesecake described as a very good feast. The Burt ends bbq pizza was delicious and came out fast. Service is inconsistent; some guests found it good and fast, with one waitress described as awesome, attentive, polite, and friendly. Another reviewer praised a staff member for being amazing, pleasant, and kind with a to-go order. However, other experiences report poor, very slow, and inattentive service. Issues include obnoxious children running around, management not handling the situation, and a server wearing a mask with nose exposed. The atmosphere reminds some of Applebee's, not in a good way. The pizza is considered mediocre at best and overpriced for quality and quantity. While the food is delicious and tasty, it is overpriced. One guest felt welcomed and found the restaurant beautiful, clean, and well maintained, and will definitely return.
