Let me say this... I was hungry. My Bestfriend wanted a Butter Cake and I wanted a BBQ Chicken Pizza... as such, we ended up at California Pizza Kitchen - Lenox. Arriving at California Pizza Kitchen - Lenox, there was about a 3 minute wait. I added my name to the list and before I could even take a seat, my name was called and I was heading to my table. The location was clean and the ambiance was smooth and chill. That's exactly what I needed. Our server arrived at the table within seconds and was ready to take our drink order. The way I was ready to eat, I put my drink and food order in all at once. Listen, I told you I was hungry. When it comes to my menu selection at California Pizza Kitchen, nothing compares to the BBQ Chicken Pizza. Per the menu: "THE ORIGINAL BBQ CHICKEN PIZZA Created here in 1985. Our legendary BBQ sauce, grilled chicken, smoked Gouda, red onions, and fresh cilantro transform this original to iconic. [cal.190]" This pizza is the best thing in life. The moist meaty chicken. Fresh cilantro. Thinly sliced onions. And that amazing hand tossed, chewy yet crispy crust... as I sit here and write this I want another one. LoL!!! This trip was exactly what I needed today. Good service. Great food. And a perfectly made fresh brewed sweet tea. Yes, this is my happy place. Bite after bite of freshness, goodness, and mouth-pleasing joy. Note to others: if you get the BBQ Chicken Pizza, make sure you don't share with anyone. read more

Stopped at CPK on my way out of Lenox to grab a quick bite to eat. The fresh strawberry and mango Fresca might've been the only thing I can say I enjoyed. I ordered the steak salad and my husband ordered the waygu burger. Unfortunately, maybe on my 3rd bite, I saw this blue foreign object tucked under my lettuce. Turned out to be a rubber band. The sad part is, I was really enjoying this salad. The Dijon vinaigrette was really yummy and paired well with the other toppings. Too bad I won't be able to speak much on the rest of the salad because I sent it back. My husband says his burger was also a disappointment. The cheese wasn't melted on the burger and the taste was just "okay." The waiter was nice and tried to accommodate us but we asked that he just take the salad off the bill. read more

Really nice mall outpost of the CPK chain. The space has a nice closed in private but wide open feel. It's sort of perched at the edge of a balcony area in a large atrium. One of the best things about Lenox Square is the people watching. Service was terrific, as usual for this chain. My server Erica was happy and helpful My go-to items at CPK are always either Hawaiian pizza (ham/pineapple) or BBQ chicken/pineapple. One of the great things about a national chain is that the food is consistent no matter where you are. read more

Great spot for lunch. Glad to see that they still have a lunch menu. Fast service. We both ordered the pizza + salad lunch special. We've always loved their original bbq chicken pizza and it's still great. Only recommendation for the salad is that either they put less salad in the bowl or switch to a bigger size bowl. It's hard to mix/move the salad around in the bowl without salad pieces falling out. The amount of salad we both had falling out could have been another meal for someone. Also the dressing is on top of all the large pieces of cheese so if you don't love cheese like myself & decide to take some off you are then losing all of the dressing unfortunately. Sad to see most of the locations closing like first Dunwoody then Peachtree corners so happy to see this Lenox location still open. read more

I came to the Lenox Mall CPK in search of the viral mac and cheese TikTok. During the summer, it was half off if you ordered ahead on the app with the code. As a mac and cheese judge, it was alright. It was missing the cheesiness, the sauce, and the seasoning. When I first saw it, it looked so bland (see below). Our order took a while to come even though it was just one app. There is a separate booth or area where you order and pick up the to go's/mobile orders. read more

Located in the middle of Lenox Mall just north of downtown Atlanta, CPK was bumping when I visited on a Thursday at noon. Almost all the seats were taken so I settled in at the bar. It seemed like they were a little overwhelmed and understaffed as they were jumping straight to the menu and drinks and skipped the small talk. Which was fine, we were on a time crunch anyways. There's a ton of TVs at the bar. But it was hard to see the one right above you. There's one across from you which is in your eye sight. Even though the music was playing pretty loud, and even with how close the bar stools were to my friend, we heard everybody's conversation. People were sharing tea! So I wasn't mad! We had the lunch special which was 13 dollars for a 7 inch pizza or sandwich that comes with one of five different side salads or one bowl of soup. You can pay extra for soup and salad with your pizza or sandwich. I went with a pizza and salad. Not a ton of food but okay for a lunch. I was surprised however, at how long it took to come out. They gave me a Caesar salad even though I ordered something else. But once again, because of my time crunch I didn't complain. The mini pizza wasn't saucy or cheesy and had too much toppings given its size. The salad was the star of the show. Service was okay. Didn't really interact much. Didn't check in on us but ran to us when we raised our hands. 2 stars because the pizza was trash. That's your staple. You can't be okay at something you're known for. Location was clutch. Vibe and energy of the place was good. I'd come back but only for their lunch special and I'd try their sandwich next time. read more

Wish I could do zero stars. We stopped in while doing some shopping this evening and the two young hostesses debated about where to seat us for a bit. Eventually they settled on a booth in the far corner. A server was chatting with the people at the table right behind us for about 5 minutes. She left to get her cousin from the kitchen to meet the folks sitting at that table. During this time, a different couple was seated next to us. A few minutes later their server stopped by with bread. Then came back with their waters and took their drink order. The server for the table behind us (I'm pretty sure she was supposed to be our server) brought her cousin back to that table and they continued to have a conversation for another 5-10 minutes. During that time the couple next to us placed their orders. At this point we were still waiting for our server to acknowledge we were there. My husband asked the server for the table next to us who were being served, if she knew who was working our section. She responded that she wasn't sure but she'd get someone. We waited. The same server returned to the couple next to us. At that point we gathered our things to leave. Just as we were getting ready to go a young woman walked up to our table, said nothing, and looked at us. We had already been waiting a long time and the young lady had an attitude that likely wasn't going to help our experience. We left. Would have loved to have written a review about the food, or water, or a drink, or, ANYTHING, but since we didn't have any of those things, we can't. Just a bad experience and the young woman with the attitude really shouldn't be in customer service.... And it's also really sad for her because we're generally very high tippers. I wish they'd have people who actually want to work, or at least know how to fake it :) read more

the young lady who worked the PM shift on Friday, February 27, 2026 take out, did not have the customer service I'm accustomed to when dining at CPK. I called to modify an online order. She put me on hold for over eight minutes. I called back and she informed me that my modification (blackened chicken pieces) could not be accommodated because "you're order is already ready & we are about to close". Never have I ever had this type of experience at CPK. Questioning whether I will return. read more

I've eaten at California Pizza Kitchen many times mostly out on the West Coast and the food was always amazing. A recent visit to the Lenox Mall location in Atlanta wasn't so much. Server was very nice. Being in a mall, you expect the noises of the people and their Shopping. However, there was a dysfunctional escalator that was banging so loudly, it ruined our experience. The Bolognese Spaghetti was so dry I had to order extra sauce. One bright light, the Thai Crunch Salad was absolutely delicious. read more

Service is exceptional, but menu is too big, and hard to read. Simpler would be better.Also, food is overwhelmingly salty. That's all I tasted. But, I guess that's how it is everywhere you go. Overall it's fantastic place to go, you will love it. read more

I've been to CPK in the Lenox mall several times but this most recent time was the BEST by far! My initial encounter with hostess wasn't the most pleasant when asking to be sat in a booth but the waiter, Damon, was the absolute best. He was very knowledgeable and super friendly. He checked on us several times and made sure we were okay. He was such a pleasure and I hope the next time I dine at CPK he can be my waiter again! read more

Starting with service: outstanding. Our server was prompt and friendly made it easy to want to come back. Love the atmosphere in the center of the mall. Lots of good people watching. Lettuce wraps are delicious and so is the chicken piccata. Order a meal and they have a Take and Bake pizza for only $5. Great deal. There are a few televisions around the bar area. Restrooms are on the mall itself. Nice place to visit. read more

I like the fact that this restaurant has an average wait time of 15 minutes on a busy Saturday. The food is always delicious. However my spinach dip never came and my 'tiny' olive oil dipping dish was not suffice for my large chunky pieces of chewy bread. I could not find black pepper or grated parmesan cheese. The mock tails are delicious but requires a long wait time. My Chicken pasta dish and Thai pizza was delicious. They might had been under staff today. However, read more

I've been interested in trying California Pizza Kitchen for a while and I must say I wasn't disappointed. The pepperoni pizza was delicious to me and I love that they slightly burn the crust. I'm a huge pizza fan and it's really rare that I enjoy the flavor of pizza as much as I did there's. Now the quality of the pizza isn't the most authentic but it still served its purpose. The Caesar salad I ordered was good. They could've had fresher, crunchier lettuce but it was good. We all had mimosas with Prosecco, cranberry juice, and lime wedges. Mmm so tasty! Our server was a sweetheart! With it being in Lenox mall the parking is kind of hectic but there's a free parking garage which is great. read more

When I found out that there was a California Pizza Kitchen at Lenox Square, I thought, "Would they have a full menu at the food court?" Then I found out that this CPK wasn't at the food court; it was one level up and in the vicinity of the food court. This is a full service restaurant on the Plaza Level. This CPK doesn't have very much privacy, because it doesn't have any walls or ceilings. While CPK customers can easily see mall shoppers walking by, mall shoppers can also see CPK customers eating. We walked to the host station, and were met quickly by the hostess who welcomed us and quickly showed us a table in the middle of the dining area near the bar and gave us menus. That's when I realized how open this restaurant was, and the spaciousness was nice too. Our server came to take our drink orders. I still wasn't ready to order when he brought our drinks and some bread and and olive oil dip. The menu has a whole lot of items on it, and we ordered an appetizer, Mexican Street Corn. I thought the Mexican Street Corn had great presentation; however the it was just ok. I was expecting bold flavors, but everything was just mild and average. While we were eating the appetizer, I ordered the Garlic Cream Fettuccine with shrimp, and R ordered Kung Pao Spaghetti. Our meals were served, nice and hot, to us within 15 minutes of us ordering them. After our meals were served, our server didn't return to our table unless we flagged him down for something. We both like our meals. The sauce on my fettuccine wasn't the best I've had, but it was still very good. The pasta was al dente and the 6 shrimp I got in the dish were cooked perfectly and not dry. R said his meal was good. The portions were big and filling. This experience was 3.5 stars that I rounded up to 4. Although our server was nice and courteous, I felt that he had forgotten about us once our entrees were served. We even had to wait awhile for our check while he was taking care of customers sitting on the edges of the dining area, forgetting that we were still there in the middle of the restaurant. read more

E X P E R I E N C E we came on a Friday night around 7pm as a group of two. We were greeted kindly by the host, who immediately sat us. There was 1 other table of 2 and 5-6 people at the bar. It's very casual here and great for small groups/dates. We didn't realize that Lenox closes so early so we were quick to eat and leave. F O O D original bbq chicken pizza, fresh pineapple: soo tasty. Fresh pineapple off sets the strong BBQ flavor. Thin breading but thick crust. Spicy Milano: def a little kick of spice. It's good. Ample sausage pepperoni cheese mushrooms for toppings. Two people could share one pizza and feel decent. If very hungry, probably one per person. S E R V I C E We were promptly greeted by the server Parker. She was polite and quick on her feet. I noticed her walking around and peering casually. She was accessible if we needed but not consistently in our face. Perfection!! She was very cheerful and had a lighthearted happy aura to her.

Being a chain restaurant in mall, I wasn't expecting much. Definitely one of the busier ones I have been to. The service was good and our server was attentive to our needs while being lunch hour (during the week). We were surrounded by business people on lunch that could have been a factor in it. While the food was good, the plating wasn't super appealing. I got the fish Tacos and they were okay. read more

I brought my kiddies here after a fun night in town. I wish I could leave a better review but we didn't really enjoy the food. It wasn't that it was prepared bad, everything just tasted pre packaged. Unfortunately The spinach dip tasted like they thaw it out & was made in the microwave. The buffalo cauliflower was ok but also tasted like a frozen to table dish. And the Pizza wasn't great at all. My daughter was disappointed and so was I. Service was oddly slow even though there weren't many people there. I don't believe I'd go back to California Pizza Kitchen. read more

I let my friend to choose anywhere we could grab a bite this afternoon. I told her just not anywhere inside the food court. She said how about CPK? I like sure, I do like the lettuce wrap. They do have some lunch duo special during the week. I ordered the spaghetti bolognese and a soup which I opted for Pea & Barley, FOOD 1/5 Spaghetti Bolognese 1/5 That spaghetti bolognese?? It was so dry!! Not saucy enough, not much meat in it. That was the worst spaghetti bolognese I ever have :( Pea & Barley Soup 2/5 maybe it was me? I do like peas but this was nasty as well :( I tried to take in a few spoonful, I gave up! Maybe peas just do not go into soup. I don't know, I shudder when I think of that soup. AMBIENCE 4/5 For what CPK is, I like the ambience. No beautiful décor, no music (just noise in the mall), no ambient lightings, still it was nice. The booth seatings are wonderful! I guess I have already established that I really like booth seatings :) SERVICE 5/5 Our service Scarlett was wonderful. She was very sweet, soft spoken and polite. She came to check on us after the food was served. I did not have the heart to tell her the food was terrible ;( I would stick to ordering lettuce wrap in future :( read more

California dreaming on such a winters day. Location, location, location! This place is located in the middle of the food court on an elevated perch at the base of the escalators.

We were out shopping at Lenox and decided to give this location a try. The offer a cauliflower crusted pizza and I've been wanting to try one. It was actually quite good. Hubby ordered the Cobb Salad with chicken and I must admit I was jealous. It was very tasty. The service was good although we'd experienced incredible care at other Atlanta establishments, so the bar was set pretty high. I was surprised at the pricing for lemonade...I believe it was $4.95 for a virgin drink. The lunch menu offers some great options at affordable prices. They also had a grab-n-go pizza you could take home for an additional $5. This was probably a new promotion that was going on while we were there. So after eating, we both wanted to wash our hands...surprise, there is NO bathroom at the restaurant. You had to go in a store or hike to the public ones. This was not cool at all. I couldn't imagine taking a family with small children here. By the time you would return from a diaper change, your food would be cold. Atlanta has too many other options to settle for this. read more
