    I first tried California Pizza Kitchen in 2000 when I was there for my cousins wedding. I liked their food then and nothing has changed. My favourite pizza is the California Club with the piles of arugula on top. My second favourite is probably the works. This location is kinda slow on the service. I've been here 3 times and every time the food took a while to come out. I feel like it's actually part of their business plan to encourage more drinks or appetizer sales. Just a theory though. Patio has roll up style garage doors for open air or closed seating perfect for the summer patio season. They can accommodate large parties as well.

    This location is beautiful. I love the decor in here and staff is super friendly. We ended up ordering a margarita pizza, chicken club, and spicy honey bee pizza. Then for sauces we did the garlic aioli and the ranchito. The food was amazing. The chicken club pizza was amazing. Service was good. We will be back.

    I checked this place out for dinner last weekend. There was about a half an hr wait when we tried going at 6pm on Sunday. The inside was modern and aesthetic. The AC was turned very high so it was slight cold dinning inside. We tried the Original BBQ Chicken Pizza($20) with Cauliflower Crust add on ($2) and the Spicy Milano Thin Crust pizza($22). The waited about half an hr for our pizza to come. They were both tasty and warm out of the oven. I find that their pizzas are crispier than other pizza places. The cauliflower crust tasted pretty much the same as the thin crust pizza so I'm not sure if it's worth the $2 add on. Overall it's a decent pizza place! I wouldn't say it's a place I would crave often but I wouldn't mind coming back in the future.

    I meant, I don't know why this place only got 3 stars, but I will do 4 for it. Foods are not bad except the "Devil Hot Wings" that's one of the wings I will never ever get one more time. The hot is definitely not natural and the wings are not that fresh. Service was okay, can't say much about that since they were busy in the evening. Recommend the egg roll, make sure you eat when is hot and fresh.

    Second time here since I really enjoyed my first visit. Parking is still really tight which I was surprised as it was already 1PM and the lot was 90% full. We were seated immediately on the indoor patio but the sun was in my eyes so we had to move over a table. Nice decor, nice ambiance. Tons of gender neutral single person bathrooms (I think I counted 8!). I tried the fish tacos. They were very fresh, saucy, fish was moist but I wish it was bigger and overall just not the Best I've ever had 7.5/10. House salad was great and I would get again. Friend 1 got the Thai chicken salad and loved it, she said it was a touch spicy but in a good way. Friend 2 got the California Turkey Sandwich with the tomato bisque soup (for an extra $2). He was very happy with his sandwich and soup. Soup was rich and creamy and very flavorful. Sandwich was full of turkey, bacon and bread was all a great combo. Overall, I would get the turkey sandwich my friend got, but I still think the pizza was better!

    Mmmmm Butter Cake.  Think Warm pound cake crossed with a sugar cookie with ice cream on top !

    I saw that CPK was going to open up it's first Canadian restaurant in Edmonton, and typically I am not a "Need to be the first customer" or "Need to be there on the Grand Opening" kind of guy. Arrived and yes, CPK was busy. There were a ton of staff and patrons in the place. The restaurant is very typically CPK designed and decorated, also this place is very large compared to the CPKs that I've been to in the US. Being opening weekend, we had been prepared to wait a long time for a table. The Hosts said that we could wait for a table or sit immediately at the bar... The Bar it is. Once at the bar, there was an abundance of staff, and numerous folks were available to ask questions, get orders put in, etc. We decided to go with the California Club Pizza. I've had this in the past, at US restaurants, and really liked it. Once the order was put it, we expected to wait a fair amount of time, just due to the volume of people there, and the opening weekend kinks needing to be worked out. Surprisingly our order came up very quickly and some of our new friends around the bar area were curious to know what kind of Pizza we had. Our pizza was hot out of the oven with fresh greens and avo. Delish ! Overall, CPK's winning recipe for food and service has translated well to the First Canadian location. Our Pizza was delish. One of the Bartenders (from a Florida CPK) had suggested the Butter Cake, which is a warm cake with Ice Cream. Again super delish. I'm very pleased that CPK has opened up a location in Edmonton, and will be a frequent visitor back.

    We've been waiting a while to finally try CPK since it came to Edmonton but sadly it didn't quite live up to the hype. We went for lunch and the restaurant had some other customers but it was not even close to full. Service was slow and overall not very good despite the restaurant not being busy. We got the BBQ chicken pizza, which was not very good. The crust was chewy and bland and the chicken was dry and chewy. The California Club pizza was difficult to eat and also had a bland and chewy crust but the toppings were tasty. On a more positive note, the ambiance and vibes in the restaurant are amazing. All the natural light and greenery makes you feel like you've been transported to California.

    Server was nice. Water came out VERY fast. The appearance of the place inside and outside was great. Food was amazing 5-10 minute wait time, no wait to get inside.

    I have been to this location four times since opening. Once for a working lunch, twice with my family, and once on a date night. Each time I am greeted with smiles. They have very attentive service staff and I have enjoyed everything I've eaten off the menu. The wine list is a touch generic but understand that chain restaurants typically stick with the bigger brand name stuff. I would highly recommend this place for anyone who enjoys a laid back, friendly environment with great food.

My friend liked her falafal but it definately wasn't the best she has had and was eyeing up my curry. Service was OK. I feel like because we didn't order alcoholic beverages, we didn't get service as much as the tables that did. That won't prevent me from coming here again.

Both were so very tasty, and did not disappoint. The ambiance of the restaurant is different than many places I've gone to. Being close to the University of Alberta main campus, many young students compose the clientele of Sugarbowl, but not limited to. The decor is very nice - brick walls and posters, and hand written beer menu, to name a few. Service was very good, professional, and friendly!! Overall good experience, and will return again in the future.

They were still willing to serve us food to go though when my friend initially asked for menus they said to go? .

For dinner I had the focaccia with whipped ricotta, a sazerac, the gnoochi, and an affogato for dessert. The whipped ricotta was the suggested appetizer by my server and of my goodness I could have crawled right into it--absolutely get that! If I went back to Edmonton for a visit I was definitely go back.

There's also an upstairs so I assume that more tables are up there. To start you queue up at the counter and pick your meat and put it bun.

The sandwiches were delicious. The amount was just right. The bun is not huge so you won't be stuffed with bread. It can get messy because there's more fillings than bun but don't worry because there are three washrooms to wash your sticky fingers.
