California Pizza Kitchen at Paramus

Nice hot and fresh food

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!

Mobile order. Ordered the kid's Hawaiian pizza and the kid's pasta Alfredo.
The pizza was good except it was obvious the pizza with sauce was cooked 1st, the cooked ham was added afterward along with the fresh pineapple slices, and then heated in the oven. So by the time I ate it 20 minutes later, it was stone cold. I had to reheat it to eat it.
The corkscrew pasta was cooked perfectly but there was barely any Alfredo sauce on it. It looked like someone drizzled the sauce over the pasta.
Still would order again just ask for more sauce on the side.

Food was good. Juan our server was terrible. Waited almost twenty minutes before ever getting a drink ordered, no apology. Food rushed out while waiting for drinks.

Ice cold beer at the bar

This place gives me great memories. The food is so nostalgic from my childhood. I used to go to a local California Pizza Kitchen. The atmosphere is a mall environment. They did a nice job with the bar and the interior of the restaurant but it’s still a mall. Dinner time can get super hectic, but the food came out very quickly.

Wheelchair accessibility: It’s all flat so a wheel chair can fit through.

Terrie showed concern for my dietary restrictions. She was knowledgeable to current specials and stayed aware of our needs.

Dietary restrictions: Gluten allergy. A few good options worth trying.

I dined at this restaurant and it was my worst experience ever. The server came 20 mins later to check our table for the order, even though the restaurant was not busy. We ordered our pizza and had to wait an unexpectedly long time even though the people who came later and got their pizza before us. Our server was nowhere to be found so we asked another server to get us the check. At first he ignored us and did not bother to respond, when we asked again, then he said he will get it but did not bother to get the check. We waited for a long time and then our server shows up. We asked for a check and told him what happened, he informed us that the manager can give us the check if the other server had informed the manager. The other server came to our table and was aggressively talking to us that he cannot do anything as the system does not allow him to print check. But his attitude and way of talking was aggressive and it ruined my night. My wife got scared of this behavior and I didn’t want to escalate the situation so we paid and left. But to our surprise, knowing all this is happening, the manager is standing in the corner and isn’t bothered to come to our table. I will highly recommend people to not go to California kitchen at the Paramus location. Request California kitchen to change their staff or train them to be polite to the customers.

I recently dined at this place and had a fantastic experience! I ordered the Thai Salad with avocado instead of meat, a veggie pizza, and pasta. The flavors were spot-on, with the perfect blend of freshness and seasoning; I’d rate the taste a solid 8.5/10. The service was excellent, with attentive staff who made the experience even more enjoyable. Overall, it was a delightful meal, and I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a satisfying meal with great service.

Vegetarian options: You can replace meat with avocado

Waiting time was said to be a max of 15 minutes and ended up waiting 40 minutes for two pies of rock hard and burnt pizza.
