A good spot for a good variety of food and drinks! I came on a Sunday around 2pm, and we decided to sit outside, since the weather was good. The patio was pretty clean and actually had a ton of space. There were lots of different table sizes and it didn't feel like the tables were all pushed together in one area. It was pretty spread out. The menu is huge! I have been here before, but it has been a while. There were so many drink options and the happy hour seemed like a great deal! I would come back for that. There was also endless food options. But, we settled on a customized cheese pizza which black olives. I think this was the small size. This size wouldn't have been big enough for two adults. I had one slice because I wasn't hungry, but I brought a child and he ate the rest. It is more of a personal pizza than a shareable one. We didn't even say a size, so I'm assuming it was a small. But, the slice I did have was very good! I liked how they grated your cheese over your pizza for you...nice touch! The service was excellent! We were celebrating the child birthday and they gave us a delicious icecream sundae to celebrate. The waiter was great and very attentive. read more

The food here is pretty good. I think the size of the pizzas are perfect for one person. The crust is very good and fresh. I came literally a couple minutes after happy hour ended, but they still allowed me to order something which was amazing, I enjoyed my platinum margarita. I definitely want to go back to try their butter cake flight. read more

I haven't had this place in years, so when it was suggested for lunch I was super excited to come back! We came in right at opening time and was seated right away. We had to park far, but Perkins Rowe is always a pretty view. They had a girls night celebration the night before so it was decorated really pink and cute! Our hostess and staff in the front were very nice. Our server was Ashely. She seemed like she did not want to be at work today. Our experience was not necessarily bad, but felt delayed. We only had an hour for our lunch break and everything seemed to be in slow motion. She had a booth behind us and a booth in front of us. She would attend to tables in front and behind us and never looked our way. She walked by us twice to the table behind us and didn't even look our way while I waited for the ranch I asked for. No refills no check ins. Thankfully we didn't need much. Not until we needed the ticket and boxes. The kitchen is very open, therefore we could see directly in there and see her walking around and ignoring our eyes. After 10 minutes of waiting on our tickets and boxes, she brought our boxes then 5 minutes later finally our tickets. I ordered a large pizza and asked for a ranch. On the ticket I see that I have to pay $1 for the smallest ranch. I think it's crazy that ranch is not a given with a large establishment like California pizza. I got the BBQ chicken pizza. My friends got the Avocado egg rolls appetizer and Avocado Club pizza. The food was all very good, but not sure if we would be returning. read more

I came here during Veterans Day. I was thinking this place was going to be packed, but it wasn't. The service was great, sat us quick and after getting the food order the food was served quite quickly. The ambiance was nice and very open space and outside lighting. We also got checked on every so often and that was nice of the manager and our waiter. Sad that there is none of these in New Orleans. read more

I haven't been here since 2019. With that being said I figured my friend and I could take our kids there for a last minute dinner option. Our service was terrible though. Our server wasn't rude or anything but he took forever on the drinks and the food and he had to come back and ask more questions because he forgot to ask them originally when taking the order. The food was okay. Not bad not great. We got an appetizer of dumplings. My daughter loved it so much she wanted it for her meal. Then I got this taco pizza no beans add chicken. To me this place is higher on the price end for pizza and I just don't see the worth due to other places being cheaper and better flavor. By the end of the meal we were the second to last people there and we felt very rushed to leave or we would've ordered dessert. Would I come back? No. read more

You wanna experience the worst service known to man AND get turned away from a "dog-friendly" restaurant? This is your spot. Every time I've been here, they've somehow found a new and creative way to disappoint me -- which is honestly impressive at this point. I've brought my dog here FOUR separate times before and been welcomed with water, outdoor seating, the whole "we love dogs" vibe. This time? The manager absolutely flipped her lid like I just showed up riding a horse through the dining room. They proudly claim to be "dog-friendly" online, but apparently that policy depends on the alignment of the stars, the manager's mood, and possibly Mercury being in retrograde. Service? A disaster. Not even the fun kind -- just confusing, chaotic, and mildly insulting. Food? Let's just say it's not doing them any favors in this situation. Currently sitting across the courtyard at Drago's, enjoying the same music, better food, and a complete absence of attitude. Do yourself a favor -- come for the music, skip this place, and walk literally anywhere else. Your dog (and your sanity) will thank you. read more

I ordered to-go. I got the original BBQ Chicken pizza with thin crust and extra cilantro + the Mexican corn. The thin crust for an extra $1.50 was advertised as crispy. It was not. More chewy than anything. The chicken was very sparse. I asked for extra cilantro and there was hardly any at all. I expected an even better experience than the frozen pizzas I get at Walmart which are good. I didn't get that. I paid $6.50 for Mexican corn. The flavor was lacking and the portion size was minuscule at best. It did taste like roasted corn though. For $30+ I should've just bought a couple of the frozen pizzas and some microwaveable roasted corn and sprinkled some chili powder on top. The customer service was great when I picked it up though. It's in a great locale with lots of things going on around for entertainment. read more

My daughter and I have been attending California Pizza Kitchen for several years. Her favorite of all time is their macaroni and cheese. Their mac & cheese is number one on her list. We do find the wait time for food. It generally depends on how busy they are. It's okay. We do find that when we get served at the bar. It's much quicker. The bartender is polite and more attentive to our needs. I enjoy their salads. Any of their salads are so good, and they are big enough that you could take some home. They do have a lot of varieties of food to choose from. Overall, their pizza is very good, and I enjoy the option of having a cauliflower crust. I recommend everyone go to California Pizza Kitchen. If you need a quick bite to eat or just to gather a chat and relax in a casual environment, this is the place to be. We will definitely be coming back. read more

Located in the beautiful ambiance of Perkins Rowe, this place had so much potential--but the experience was completely ruined by the manager. She was unbelievably rude and mean! We honestly felt so bad for the employees who have to work under her. She yelled at the waiter who served us and told him to not even sell alcohol anymore to anybody... we were there well before closing. I simply asked for a Ranch Water or a vodka soda with lime, and she passive-aggressively told me that the drink wasn't on their menu. Mind you, this is a restaurant with a bar... ... ... ... So, I tried again and asked for a dirty martini--nope, not happenin!! At this point, I just broke it all the way down: Can I please just have some Tito's over ice with a lime wedge? Thanks... Food is decent. I would never come back unless a friend was craving it for some odd reason. read more

This place used to be goid--tasty pizza at a reasonable price. But the quality has declined substantially. I visited last night after a movie. My soda was flat, and the pizza was less than stellar. The AC didn't seem to be working either. It was uncomfortably humid in the restaurant and there was dank smell inside. read more

California Pizza Kitchen - Five Cheese + Fresh Tomato with thin crust - Pizza Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

We went and ate here for the first time. We had a pretty big party with us for my daughter's birthday. The atmosphere was really cool, the variety of food was great, they had something for everyone. I think our server was fairly new. Considering the size of our party he handled it like a champ. Some of our friends got their food after everyone was done eating. Which we were kind of upset about. Management handled it great. Can't wait to go back! read more

Idk how people eat here and pay those prices. They aren't cheap. No one waiting to seat you. The service is molasses slow. The AC apparently doesn't work. Only went because Jinya was on an hour wait and we were hungry. Never again tho! read more

CPK has the best hawaiian pizza in my opinion since they use fresh pineapple, applewood smoked ham, and top it with silvered scallions. However, during this visit they were out of pineapple. I was told this once my hawaiian pizza was brought to my table. The pizza was still good but I wish my waitress would have said something beforehand so I could have ordered a different pizza. I was also surprised that they still charged the $17.99 for the pizza even though it was missing a topping. I also ordered a cup of the tomato basil bisque during this visit and really enjoyed it. It was smooth and tasted great. They did forget to top it with croutons though. Service was fast and our waitress was very nice. This restaurant has plenty of tables inside as well as a nice outdoor area to dine in. read more

After long weeks, my girls & I love to relax at what we call "CPK". I was introduced to the butter cake by a dear friend & ever since it has become my friend groups monthly tradition. We of course have to get the ice cream on the side. But seriously y'all... if you have never tried the butter cake PLEASE DO! We all enjoy a good butter cake after hard days, heartbreaks, or if we just need time to decompress. Sometimes we spice it up and get a BBQ pizza for the table or maybe a couple drinks. Most of the time though, we go for the underrated delicacy-- The Butter Cake. read more

Needed a place to grab for lunch and I'd been here before so we stopped here... This was the first time I had tried the avocado egg rolls and I LOVED them. They give you two different ranch options and honestly you need both. I'm not too big on the pizza but maybe I just need to give them another try. I had the garlic Alfredo pasta with chicken and shrimp. The chicken it was really tender. I don't like that they keep the tail on the shrimp. The alfredo sauce is also more on the oily side, you'll get more oil than sauce. read more

I enjoyed grabbing a pizza here before hitting the movies. Service was good and pizza was VERY good. The only "negative " thing I would say is their beer selection is a very small selection. I personally think pizza and beer are paired very nicely together ! But otherwise food was very delicious! I enjoyed the ambience of the place too, great location right next to the movie theater and other shops ! Highly recommend coming here for maybe a dinner and then hop across the street for a movie! read more

From southern florida and me and sister came to try out their pizza unfortunately we never even got to meet our server because nobody ever came to our table to greet us after we were seated for about 30 -45 minutes read more

Had to drop my rating because I tried a few more of their appetizers and small plates and it felt a little lackluster. We started off with the avocado club egg rolls. I really wanted to like them but I think I was sensorily uncomfortable with the warm avocado, it made it taste a little over-ripe and I wasn't too big a fan of that. The next thing I got was the Mexican street corn. It was alright, but not anything fantastic. Personally wouldn't order it again. I then had the Malibu focaccia. It was alright. Nothing special once again. My friend ordered the spicy honey bee one which I tried a slice of. That was really good (only if you like stink cheeses though, otherwise you'll hate it). I obviously had to end my night with butter cake. Sooooo delicious. Definitely worth coming back to every time. read more

THE NICEST STAFF EVER!!! my friend wasn't feeling well, and the staff brought complimentary bread and milk and a bag of ice for her. They even offered to bring a scooter out for her and help us help her to our car. There was a little girl who had lost her tooth in the bathroom and they humored my request to bring her a scoop of ice cream "from the tooth fairy". The food was hot and good and came out promptly. The restaurant was also clean and well organized. They went above and beyond my expectations and made our night that was turning sour into a sweet dinner with friends. THANK YOU TO THE STAFF! read more

Great service!! Friendly and good food!! Nice outdoor dining!! Our waitress was very attentive!!

Food was the Pea & Barley soup and dynamite shrimp! Both delicious! Service was both quick and accurate! Ambiance was very nice and quite!

Pizzas were great. Service was slow and terrible... no drink refills... need more people? And it was not a busy day... 45 min wait for the pizza, 15 min and counting for the bill.... read more

Never even sat us. We waited for 20 MINUTES. Nobody even came over. I didn't even ask any questions but they ignored us straight up.

I got a GF cheese pizza -- it hit the spot! Kudos to CPK for making a delicious GLUTEN FREE pizza at a reasonable price. Thank you!!!!!

Weak service. Out of several menus items. Does CPK require all of its employees to wear rings in their noses? Seemed so. Really helps my appetite . read more

I know CPK can be a hit of a miss, depending on what location you visit. This place however, has pretty much always delivered for me. Having been in and out of BR for the last 6 years or so - CPK on Perkins has always featured on on my fav takeout places, whether I was at the Renaisance or a corporate apartment. I have a standard take out order - Half of the thal crunch salad, no meat, add avocado and some bread. It always tastes delicious. It comes with 2 kinds of dressings, topped with some roasted peanuts and crunchy wonton strips. I can never get enough of this salad. I have tried several other things on their menu too - love their lettuce wraps and the veggie pizza/ margarita too. Not that big a fan of their "egg roll" kinda things. If we visit in person, I always prefer the outside (when the weather is great), because I will honestly tell you - the inside has this lingering stale food smell that NEVER leaves. The servers are usually pretty friendly. We skip the drinks - all their cocktails are chock full of sugar and artificial flavors in my mind. If you come on a Thur evening, grab yourself and outside table and watch the bands serenade the crowd for Rock on the Rowe performances as you eat.. win-win! read more

Service was painfully slow on an afternoon that was not busy. Pizza undercooked and not very good. I won't be back

Perfect place for a quick and tasty dinner. I haven't been to CPK in years so I felt it was time to revisit. I love the open space in the restaurant and views of Perkins Rowe. Of course I had to order pizza, and I usually go for BBQ but I decided to try something else. I highly recommend the California club because you basically get a side salad on top of the pizza. My boyfriend loves steak so the waiter suggested the Carne asada. And what's dinner without an app ! I recommend the Chicken Dumplings. read more

This was my first time here. Other than the wait, this place was amazing! It took us about 45-1hr before we got seating. When we were finally seated, it took about 10 minutes before our server came to greet us. When he came, he was very nice and had wonderful suggestions. The martini was delicious!!!!!!!!! and something I would definitely order again. I had the jambalaya linguini and it was very well seasoned. The ribeye was very good. It was cooked medium, out of my comfort zone but I was not disappointed at all. The vibe was perfect! Definitely a cozy and warm welcoming atmosphere. I would recommend for date night. Maybe next time I'll try their pizza! Lol read more

I have not been here in a very long time - And before you say where are the pictures of the food - well I was thrown off by the attitude I was given by the server/employee when I advised my salad didn't taste right. So please forgive me. So let's start - I went on a Friday around 2-3ish for lunch with a friend. It was a hot day and we wanted something light and not too heavy. That is the reason we choose to come here. When we first walked into the lobby area I was expecting the AC to cool us down. It was so hot that it was hardly any different then being outside. I then said maybe it would be cooler than nice we are seated at our table. Boy was I wrong it was like a slight change but then we got seated at a table that had what felt like fleece blankets on the booth chairs. I was dripping with sweat and all I wanted was a drink to cool me off. Once we got our drinks it didn't cool us off as they tasted funny or something. I know some places have different types of ginger ale but this one tasted so bad and very flat. I didn't even bother to ask for anything in exchange as I said before the server was not super friendly. I was excited that they had a happy hour lunch menu but was then advised that I couldn't make a modifications or substitute anything that it had to be what was on the list of items. Like I said before I had ordered a salad - it was the Cobb salad but that wasn't one of the items listed and when I asked them f they could make an exception I was told very firmly NO it has to be a selection from the list only after I also said I couldn't eat anything from that list like the bbq chicken or the cesar salad and so on. I was torn between getting a salad or a pizza that's why I was excited about the happy hour menu because you could pick 2 items. The items to choose from where a salad, sandwich or/and a pizza. After I couldn't get the salad I wanted the way I wanted it I opted to get the Cobb salad with ranch dressing. I'm not sure how or whom makes the dressings but when I tasted the first bite it didn't taste anything like ranch (hopefully it wasn't expired or going bad) that is how odd or off the flavor of it was. My child even tasted it and said that's not ranch it's yucky. So I then flagged down or server and advised that it didn't taste right and I questioned it and he was not super happy that I had a problem. I said this doesn't taste like ranch can you exchange this with a new one and put the ranch to the side. He began to argue with me that that was what I ordered and that it was ranch and that is the way it taste. I was shocked by the back talk as I was the paying customer and he stood there telling me I basically was wrong and that was the correct order. And he didn't taste it so I don't know how he could say that it was just right and tasted good. I was shocked but I still asked again for the third time to just bring me a new salad with no dressing on it and put the ranch on the side. He grabbed my plate and took off the the kitchen. Then returned with an attitude asking me once again that I was sure I wanted the Cobb salad with the ranch dressing but on the side. It threw me off as we discussed this already so why would I change my mind. After confirming the order yet again he took off and headed to the kiosk to enter it I'm guessing. I will say that I will most certainly not be coming back. Also they should try to keep a person up front so you are not waiting to flag an employee down that you have not been helped. read more
