Disastrous Experience at California Pizza Kitchen, Garden State Plaza. My family and I had an incredibly disappointing visit to California Pizza Kitchen at Garden State Plaza. The incident that unfolded during our meal was distressing and highlighted the staff's lack of care and professionalism, particularly from the manager, Kwadair Towsend.

Based on the reviews, California Pizza Kitchen is a restaurant with fresh and tasty food. The service can be fantastic, with staff who are friendly, attentive, and great at guiding customers through the menu. Specific servers like Peggy, Dave, Travis, and Terri are mentioned for providing excellent care, making the ordering process a breeze, and showing the right amount of attention. However, service can be affected when the bartender runs the whole show, as one person may not be enough, and the restaurant needs to hire more staff. The restaurant itself feels open and airy with outside seating in the bar area, plus bar seating and big screens. It is always busy, so placing a reservation online is recommended for a fast seating experience. Some menu items have changed, and the key lime pie is no longer available. The allergen menu on the app is helpful for gluten-free diners. The chopped barbecue chicken salad is a favorite. A return trip is definitely worthwhile.
