California Pizza Kitchen at Paramus

The wild mushroom pizza with thin crust was exceptionally nice as were the cocktails. Very attentive service. Thank you for a lovely night out.

My son's sandwich came with mayo we didn't want mayo and it wasn't in description on menu. Plus ham was old, had a green skin rind. My pizza with salad on top was mixed with ranch dressing, that was not on menu description. My husband pizza was OK. 1hr after we arrived home I had chills teeth chattering and vomiting and the rest of what is/ was food poisoning. Iwas so sick and still next morning. It was food poisoning. Never will go back here. Waitress was nice.

Angel, the bartender was exceptional. She went above and beyond to ensure an unforgettable experience! Although we just stopped in for a quick bite and drink, from start to finish she treated us like family. Will come back just for her!!❤️❤️

Served nasty smelling expired beer and when I told the manager he said “you don’t have to drink it”

The wild mushroom pizza is my go-to, but most of their specialty flavors are also pretty good. CPK Paramus is located in Garden State Plaza. Great for takeout. Also very kid friendly, offering smaller kids pizzas. Highly recommend.

We’ve been regular customers at this California Pizza Kitchen location, but after our most recent experience, we will never be coming back.

We ordered a cheese pizza with no basil, but it arrived with basil on it. When we politely mentioned the mistake, the manager responded with unexpected hostility. Instead of calmly resolving the issue, he snatched the pizza off our table, gave us a dirty look, and stormed off—only to aggressively throw it into the trash while continuing to glare at us.

His behavior was completely unprofessional and uncalled for, especially considering we did absolutely nothing wrong. It honestly felt racially charged, and the experience left us shocked and deeply uncomfortable.

This kind of treatment is unacceptable anywhere, especially in a restaurant we’ve supported regularly. Management should take a serious look at how their staff is treating customers

Stopped in this evening after some shopping at the mall with the family. What can I say - great food, great service. Alberto was great as well. Always enjoy going here. The key lime pie is the bomb!

The food is delicious and always fresh and hot. We get various pizzas, and the salads are a healthy treat. I have a food allergy, and the kitchen is very careful to keep me safe. But we always choose this restaurant because of the excellent service...in one word: PEGGY. She goes over and above to make sure we have an excellent experience.

I came here tonight for an early lunch/dinner with friends. I ordered the steakhouse salad half size, which had an excellent dressing and was a nice salad overall. However, it had barely any steak, just three pieces, which for a salad supposed to be centered around steak does not meet that threshold. If they had added more steak, I would have made the review higher. The pizza was good and had a crunchy and airy crust, and our server Andres was kind and attentive. Overall, I'd come back again, but with some changes to my order.

Sat at bar ordered Lunch/Dinner.

Bartender made it seem as if I was a burden to her. No utensils, no napkins. I asked for Crushed red pepper and she rolled her eyes.

When she came back she just sat it on counter without any acknowledgement.

Never going back.

I came here with my friends and sat outside the restaurant with food that was purchased from there and I was told rudely by some lady the bar that works there that i wasn’t allowed to sit there so i said “okay, we will move” as i finished my last 3 bites and she came up to us as we were packing up also while i was trying to rush eating food saying she’s gonna call security on us because we didn’t move in the time frame she wanted us to move and this happened within a 2 minute time span. Also previously 2 people already gave us permission to sit there before she said something. Description of the lady: blond highlights with brown roots up in a claw clip

I mostly order online and pickup. Their pizzas are great. The thin crust margherita is to die for!! The order pickup service is excellent and the order is ready without any wait time. The staff is friendly and always helpful with extra bread or marinara sauce if you ask them nicely!! Have been coming here for years. Would strongly recommend CPK in the garden state mall, Paramus NJ.

The pizzas at this place are absolutely fantastic! It's always busy when I go, and while there can be a wait, it's totally worth it. I highly recommend checking it out!
