We came here seeking a quick, healthy, calorie-controlled lunch. Our expectations were modest considering that it's a chain. One of us got a combo sandwich and salad, and I got a half salad. Calorie control objective may have been met, but honestly we doubt the accuracy of the published nutritional data. It just seemed like more and fattier food. Service was quick and competent and the venue was clean. Prices were considerably higher than what we would call reasonable for lunch. It was OK; there are better choices is all. read more

This is one of my mom, sister, and I's go to places for lunch! The staff is always friendly, the food is yummy and large portions, and the dining area is clean! Usually getting seated is fast and they have a larger dining area so that helps minimize waiting! read more

What has happened with our Hunt Valley staple?? CPK has always been a good chain restaurant to get pizza or a good salad. And their drink menu is extensive. Our visit last evening was so painful though. The service has gotten awful. The hostess walked into the restaurant with us at the beginning of the shift, and we had to stand in front of her waiting for her to get herself together before she even acknowledged our presence. Then she sent us to a table with another person without a real greeting. We waited and waited for a waiter. After quite a while, someone came to ask if we were helped. When we replied no, they said they would get someone. And that took time. The waiter who served us had a trainee. But he did not seem genuinely happy to be there. The food took a long while, and we had to ask for silverware, napkins etc. The pizza and my Thai salad were good as usual. But the slow and trifling service made us wonder if it's worth it to come again. Maybe just go to the bar, where the wait staff can't avoid you. read more

All is well when we approach the door and I wouldn't say when we walked in the door because there was no hostess at the stand at all, and when they finally emphasis on finally came to the hostess stand, they seated so when I got here after us. Once we were sat down are waiter was kind of rude and didn't really know much about the food here. I ordered a drink and a water when my drink arrives. It had shit in it, and it was dirty on the outside of the cup and the inside of the cup, and there was shit in the water. Pictures are inserted below when I told another waiter because she took forever to come back, she gave me the drink and didn't even look at me and gave it to the wrong person at the table and then I had to go grab straws for myself from the waiter stand because she wouldn't give straws. She also never came over to check on us once and she never refilled our drinks which is absolutely outlandish because I am out of water and my other drink and I am very parched. Very slow service and it is taking forever to get our check and once we got it the pay thing was not working and took forever. but overall the food was really good probably because it didn't have the hostess involved, but the girl was really rude. read more

We have always loved CPK but don't get to visit often since the closest one is over an hour from home. This was our first time at this particular location. Service was incredible! I believe our server's name was Allie? She mentioned she was new but I never would've known. Very friendly, personable, just overall a great server so absolutely no complaints there and she can make a darn good margarita! I'm so disappointed in the changes to the menu though "Small plates" items are gone which included some of our favorites. The guacamole is now just avocado chunks and corn drenched in oil, it's not guac at all. And the prices seemed pretty steep on very basic entrees. Overall, this location was clean and service was great, nothing wrong with this particular CPK, but with the current menu I can't say it's on the top of our list of places to go back to. Food quality for the price would be a 2/5 Service 5/5 read more

I went to this California Pizza Kitchen on a quiet Tuesday in June. I don't ever choose to sit outside because of the brightness (migraines), so we sat inside. On this hot summer day, the inside was FREEZING!!! I asked two different employees if they could adjust the temperature and was told there was nothing they could do about it. Really? Our waitress was just okay (she misheard my pizza choice but I was okay with the one that came out), but brought us our soup with no spoons. Given how cold the room was, I was worried our soup would be cold before we got any, and our server did not return immediately. I had to hunt down another server to ask for them. My pizza was very good, the soups were just meh, my mother's sandwich bread was very hard. Come for the pizza but wear your parka and bring your own spoon! read more

Staff is friendly and consistent. Great stop to just get a quick bite at reasonable prices. Quiet atmosphere.

Actually the worst place I've ever been. The food is decent but that staff is so bad. Our waiter got our sodas wrong at least 4 times, no big deal it was funny at first. We ordered two street corn dips as appetizers. We got our pizzas before our dip. Asked the waiter if our dips were coming she went to check. Came back with the wrong dip so she just totally forgot. Hostesses are just sitting on the floor tapping on their phones. It was not busy at all which makes it more frustrating. Oh and when our dips came out the bread was burnt to the crisp and you could easily smell it was burnt. Genuinely I don't know who runs this place but they need to get their shit together. read more

Late Thursday lunch just hit the spot. My wife and I each had the $13 pizza and a salad offerings. All were excellent: pepperoni pizza with Thai salad and vegetables pizza with Caesar salad...and a couple of draft beers. We sat at the bar and our server was pleasant, helpful and attentive. (Alexander is a "keeper." He has a great personality and attitude.) The restaurant appeared clean and bright and HC accessible. The restrooms were clean. Nice midday stop. read more

Service.....we have been loyal customers for over 17 years. Our kids went there. Wait staff is a tiny bit slow. Be we have gotten used to it. BUTTTTT Tonight was the exception. Absolutely poor service. Waiter took our order ,, I even asked if he got it all..wife's was a tiny bit complicated..soooo While our waiter stood and chatted with co worker of the fairer gender. Another waiter brought our food only after we contacted another waitstaff. But totally forgot my wife's appetizer. She had also had asked for the chicken on her salad to be warm. Came out ice cold. Not an issue prior visits. It seems the new manager brought the appetizer out and said on the house. One waitress was sitting at the bar eating while serving food to other patrons. Never seen that. Just seems to be a culture change in management as well as waitstaff. Not conducive to a repeat visit by us...we miss Drew... .and some of the old waitstaff. Alex was good as well. Should not have to ask so many times for refills ... read more

First time lunch at CPK was great Took a while to serve our party of 6 but I thought the lunch special was perfect for me. Got a 7in pepperoni pizza and the Tomato Basil Bisque lunch combo and it was great tasting and a good portion for lunch too. Pizza was tasty and the dough wasn't super dry or bland like some other places. The bisque was also delicious and had a little spiciness too. Perfect for dipping my pizza crust as well Will definitely go to CPK for lunch again read more

This is one of my favorite restaurants. I used to come here every year for my birthday. I normally always get the California Club Pizza. This time I wanted to try something new, and I'm a big fan of Mac and cheese. So I got their Mac and cheese, which was pretty good, it was much better than most restaurants Mac and cheese. I still prefer the Cali club pizza because it's very unique. I got the sangria flight, which was pretty good, but tasted stronger than anticipated. We got the Mexican street corn app. It was pretty good, but you only get 2 small pieces of bread with it. We did not get any of the complimentary bread and oil, even after I asked, but apparently they were out of it. My fiancé and I went here pretty late and had relatively good service. Always great coming here, food quality & taste is on point. read more

We ordered Uber Eats and the food was delicious and it was delivered within 45 minutes of placing the order. This location is highly recommended, we eat there and order take out once or twice a month. read more

We decided to come here after work since we haven't been here in quite some time. It was pretty quiet and relaxed despite the parking lot being full. We were seated in a booth. The reason I rated them 3 stars is because the restaurant seemed to be out of a lot of items along with the soda machine not working properly and this also impacted the draft beers as well. Kyle and Nate were our servers and despite being out of many things they still make the experience positive. We truly appreciate their hard work and team effort to make the experience great despite mishaps that were beyond their control. In the future I believe the hostess should inform customers of the soda machines being down to keep from the awkward exchange between the server and customers when they are told they are out of items. Those things can impact the server /guest experience. We hope to return again soon and I'll definitely be requesting Nate or Kyle again. They were amazing. read more

Stopped by for dinner after shopping. Ordered a simple thin crust pizza. We waited a half hour and a regular crust pizza came to the table. When we asked "is THIS the thin crust?", the waitress said they had a new cook in the kitchen and would we like him to re-make it. We had waited long enough already so naturally we said no. No manager came over to apologize. Disappointing. There are too many other choices in the area, we won't be back. read more

Ordered the white corn guacamole & chips appetizer and the roasted garlic chicken pizza. Wow the insanely small amount of chips in the appetizer was almost offensive. So disappointing! The guacamole tasted different, but in a refreshing way. The price was definitely not worth it though! You better love garlic if you order the roasted garlic chicken pizza. Sounds obvious, but it is garlic HEAVY! Wish the size of the pizza were bigger, to make it suitable for the price. Overall, CPK is pretty overpriced! read more

The noise. We have been regulars for several years. Lately the volume of the music has become intolerable. That's despite all our requests to turn it down. We'll be moving on. read more

Got to the restaurant at 8:50pm on a Wednesday night. Waited about 5-7min for the hostess to seat us (we were the only costumers in the restaurant), after 10-15 minutes the music was turned off (closing time 10:00pm). Our food took about 35-40 minutes to arrive, first was served clearly microwaved tomato soup with splatters all over the serving dish -ordered a bowl, got a cup. Server apologized for the mistake but did not offer to correct it, just walked away. The rest of the food was served shortly after, the apps, salad, pizza and main dishes -all at the same time. All of the appetizers (4) and the pizza were cold. We paid the bill and on the way out we saw and complained to the manager (Kareem) which didn't even apologize. We have been costumers at CPK Hunt Valley for about 18 years, used to go there weekly for many years. For the past few years their service has declined tremendously, which is a shame because we used to enjoy their food. Place needs new management and better trained servers. read more

Do you see how the Margherita pizzas in the pictures look completely different when compared to the ones I received? Yeah. They used shredded mozzarella and not sliced mozzarella, and TWICE. The cheese had a cheddar-like taste, making it another restaurant suspect of being a place that mixes cheddar with mozzarella. Whatever it is, it's made the pizzas have a nauseatingly pungent flavor. At the very least the servers were respectful in behavior, but who's to say she was not at fault for the discrepancies in my order? Only God would know. It appeared as if she also intentionally sat me next to a group of obnoxiously loud teenagers. This was a sad waste of 30+ dollars. read more

Visited your business at Hunt Valley Town Center on Sunday 10/12/25 for a quick bite and was disgusted by the presence of your establishment. Your floors are absolutedly filthy! As a professional floor cleaner for major restaurants, you cannot say that the appearance of dirt on your floors happened on the same day! I can tell that no one has cleaned your floors in awhile. There were black gum spots everywhere, including the uncleaned stinky restroom. Unless your cleaning service up and dissapeared, I suggest you hire a professional cleaning service and take care of this problem pronto! This is not a good look. The "welcome mat" as you enter the front door covered in filth should give everyone an idea of how negligent your restaurant is as far as cleaning is concerned. The food was not that great. So, I won't visit your restaurant again and will pass the word onto my family and friends about the condition with the dirtiness at your restaurant. I don't need any one to contact me as I know you will not address the problem. If you care about your customer, please clean your restaurant, its the least you can do!!!! Have a nice day! read more

I give CPK at this location a 3.5/5. We've ordered the Spicy Chipotle pizza and the classic Barbecue Chicken pizza. Both pizzas were good. For the price of $17 per pizza (they were medium sized pizzas to me), was an ok price. I've always wanted to try CPK since I like their frozen BBQ chicken pizza. The frozen pizza tasted very similar to the one at the restaurant, but I would say the quality of the restaurant version is better. We were given small plates for the pizzas, and they were both dirty. The service was super friendly but kind of slow. I'm still glad we tried their pizzas! They were the best part of the experience. read more

Good food. Crisp, fresh salads. Piping hot pizza. CPK has always been a favorite because the menu is a crowd pleaser. Service started off on a positive note, but our server eventually went MIA - meaning no such thing as a drink refill. We thought the hostess (in her sparkly jeans) might be helpful with our simple request, but she chose to do nothing and instead chat by the front door with other employees. Early telltale signs of crumbs on the table and chairs should have been our clue that this place has gone downhill. As for ambiance- It was empty for a Saturday lunch. Sad. Needless to say we checked out earlier than planned and went elsewhere for birthday dessert. read more

We have been coming here for years and have never had any issues. The food was great (thanks to the chef). However, our server, Jayden was below subpar. I've never experienced such horrible service, not even at a fast food restaurant. We came tonight to celebrate my husband's birthday and were really looking forward to our favorite dessert. We ordered drinks and apps initially and he asked "can I take the menus is that all?". Excuse me? Then we ordered the spicy chipotle chicken pizza that comes with the green sauce on side. He brought the pizza to the table and we had to ask for the sauce. My husbands' drink glass was empty and not once did he ask if he needed a refill. Even when my husband asked for water, Jayden was rushing away from our table. There were 11 tables seated in total at the time (not all his) and he was tending to the one table behind us. We ordered apps and were reciprocated with "is that it? Can I take the menus?" We had 1slice of pizza and decided to take the rest to go so we could have dessert. I asked for a to go box and he rushed and said "cool ready for the check?". It almost seemed as though we were an inconvenience and he had to rush away from our table. I've worked as a restaurant manager and server myself for many years. The service was truly horrible. We are of color and the tables he was focusing his energy on was Caucasian. The obvious differential treatment is disheartening. Thank you for ruining my husband's birthday dinner. Never again. read more

Technically this was our 2nd visit in awhile, but we came to celebrate my birthday in advance. We were able to be seated promptly and was immediately greeted by our server (a MSU alum ). After taking our drink order, we were served bread with olive oil. I ordered the broccoli fusilli. Very delicious and filling. My husband had to power bowl. For dessert we had the butter cake with a dollop of ice cream. read more

I've been here over 10 times and it never disappoints. The atmosphere is fantastic, and every employee I've encountered has been knowledgeable and friendly. Their "bar" is actually a long and low countertop which means children can legally sit as well so super family friendly! I had, and almost always have, the Thai Crunch Salad (this is the half size). I love it! It's light yet filling - the perfect salad! I will say it does have a little kick to it, so be aware if you don't like spice. I also had the Szechwan Chicken Dumplings, which is another favorite of mine, but was so hungry I forgot to snap a picture first! Also pictured here is the tomato basil bisque and the happy hour chicken lettuce wraps! One last recommendation: ordering your pizza with the cauliflower crust. Fantastic! read more

I absolutely love this place. The food is a 10/10 always. The service is amazing and the people are so nice, i've never had a bad interaction with anyone that works there. I have also never had anything on the menu that was bad in the slightest bit. Every time i bring someone there i tell them the food is amazing and when they take a bite they are astonished. I think this place deserves more hype. The prices are also very good. Lastly, I love the outdoor seating too and that it has shade over top. read more

Came here for a quick lunch. It took a bit for the food to come out but all in all it was a good experience. The tequila pasta was heavy on the lime and light on the chicken but wasn't bad.

Staff is friendly. But the food wasn't good. Complimentary bread that we got, was hard, and cold. Felt like eating a cardboard. We ordered a flat bread. And chicken in it tasted like fish, tasted old. Bottom of flat bread was cold, but the cheese on top hot. We got two pizzas, pepperoni and California pizza, pepperoni pizza was absurd, it took about 20 min for it to be made, it tasted like it was sitting out for a while. Oregano on pizza wasn't crushed. California pizza had way too much lettuce and ranch on top. Combination of ranch, bacon and chicken doesn't go well together. Not coming back, food not worth the money, costumers on the table next to us left without paying, because food they got was cold. read more

Tried the location in Hunt Valley, MD. Service was polite but seemed confused when I asked how much longer I would have to wait after waiting about 25 minutes for my pick up pizza. About 10 minutes later, it turns out that another woman had brought my pizza out, put it on a table, whispered my name and then disappeared in the back. The pizza itself was not horrible, but not great in appearance or taste. If compared to pizza I've eaten in Petaluma, it would not even rate a "2". read more

My son had the day off and this is the only place he wanted to go. CPK is a family favorite and we are always excited when we live by one. This one isn't exactly in our backyard but it's in a nice little outdoor shopping complex. So we made a nice little afternoon of it. I'm going to be honest and say that the last couple of times we've gone the waitstaff hasn't been the best. But this time was pretty good. Especially considering that it was our waitress's 2nd day on the job. I'm pretty sure there were only two people waiting tables too. It's really low staff right now. But they're doing okay. The wait to get a table was about 15 minutes with about 1/4 of the dining room full. Food was great as always. You can always count on CPK to be delish. Plus, it's pumpkin cheesecake time! Of course the icing on the cake was that it's my birthday month. So my pizza was free. I think the most bazar thing about the whole experience for me was paying through the app. You don't have to do this. No one suggested it to me. But I was just clicking around and saw the option. So I thought I'd try it out. It's pretty easy and it even figures out the tip for you and you can choose to add it or not. It was just weird when the waitress came over to give us our box though. I told her I just paid through the app and she just had to trust me. She said someone had just walked off the day before without telling her and she thought they hadn't paid. So I'm glad I mentioned it. read more

Hostess who was at the front on two separate occasions was a bit over the top - very chatty and went on and on instead of just seating us and going back to the hostess station. This happened twice within one week and was annoying/unnecessary. She's trying to be too friendly with customers. Food was OK (take home to cook pizza only just OK). Avocado rolls were good. read more
