It's been a while since we visited any location. They are no longer focused on pizzas only and offer loads of other great options. The service was very good and the server was happy to provide recommendations & alterations to personalize menu selections. Their guacamole was top tier. Their salmon was cooked to perfection. Pasta had plenty of sauce & was served steaming hot. We will be returning sooner than later. read more

California Pizza Kitchen - Piccata with salmon substitution. - Pizza Near Me - Sacramento, California

We arrived 30 mins before closing so the cook was either upset we came late or he was rushing our order. Our chicken lettuce wrap was burnt and bitter. It arrived black and smelled burnt. We still ate it because we were starving, but it was quite bitter. My salmon was partially raw and the piccata sauce I ordered on the side was watery and soupy. The food is usually great and we come almost every week, but tonight was a disappointment. read more

I met a few friends here for dinner. It was quite busy when we arrived. It has a vibrant and bustling vibe. Also very welcoming. We ordered the BBQ Chicken Chopped Salad, BBQ Chicken Pizzas, Wedge Salads, Spaghetti with tomatoe sauce and Shrimp and Arichoke Dip appetizer. The complementary bread with an herby olive oil dip was delicious as well as each of the other items that we ordered. The wait staff was friendly and efficient. Great place to eat alone or with others. Good place to stop in for happy hour to have beer, wine or a cocktail with your meal. read more

I have been here with friends before. Came back and I am glad I did. Was hungry after work and wanted to try them again. Craving for pasta so I ordered the chicken piccata pasta. While waiting I got my soda and they give you bread with olive oil dipping sauce. When I came in, there was already a dinner rush on one side and they brought me to the quieter section of the place. The place is nice and clean and they take care of you right away. Waited a little for the food and I am fine with it. The dish was cooked really well. Chicken was cooked perfect and love the flavors of lemon and capers. I can have this again but want to try their other pasta dishes. Thank you. read more

I came in after work to take some food home. While I wait I got a mango sangria at the bar. It's an atheistic drink pretty tasty too. For food, I got: Steak salad: the steak was either superrrrr tough or somehow has a crust fried texture. I don't event know how that's possible but definitely don't waste 20 something dollars on salad. Veggie pizza: it's got a good flavor and the dough is very nicely baked. Not tough and not flimsy either. Their pizza is pretty good! The place is clean. The dimmed light is giving a good date spot. They are so short staffed though. Given the amount of work each staff member have to do you gotta be patient. Service is wonderful though. They are so friendly and helpful. read more

I had gift cards for this place and finally got to try it with family. It was my first time here and reading the reviews seems like it can be hit or miss. Parking is in a huge lot and shared with other shops so there's no issue with parking. The restaurant has a lot of seating and there's a variety of items. We did the deal, which was 3 pizzas for $18 (I forgot the exact deal). We got cheese (for the kids), pepperoni and BBQ chicken. I also ordered the egg rolls and there was complimentary bread with oil and herbs. We also got the chicken piccata and Bolognese. I thought everything was good, and really liked the chicken piccata. I would skip the Bolognese though. The desert was good as well. This was the kids favorite part of course. I feel like the desert could be skipped also. Service was average, since we felt like it could've been a little better. We got food to go since there was a lot. I would try again. read more

Food was great! Only wish, CPK would implement back on the menu the shrimp scampi pizza. Today, server Julissa was very helpful and attentive. She made the experience welcoming. On this first Sunday in August 2025 I appreciate serve like that provided by server Julissa. All smiles and ability to provide good service. Ambiance, was nice and calm and peaceful. I was able to watch the game and get some work done in peace. read more

I've been here so many times I can't count. Love their food - Kung pao spaghetti, tequila fettuccine, broccolini pizza, chicken lettuce wraps. All so good.

I had a gift card from my boss for CPK and finally put it to use for my husband and I's Valentine's Day date. Walking in, the place was clean and open and the bar was conveniently in a good spot for easy access through the restaurant. We were seated and were greeted by our waitress. She asked if we wanted to take some time and we said yes. 10-15min pass and my husband and I already decided what we wanted to order but our waitress took a bit to get back to us to take our order. Finally when we got to tell her our order, it then took a while for our food come out. We were pretty impatient this day probably because we were starving and saved our appetite for this lunch date. Once our food came to our table, my husband and I split our dishes so we each had equal of the pasta and salad. The Thai Crunch Salad had a perfect Asian zing to it and my husband also added in some grilled chili lime avocados with it which was definitely worth the extra few bucks! But the star of our lunch would definitely have to be the Garlic Cream Fettucine. The sauce was the right amount of cream and the flavor was delicious. The portion size of both dishes were definitely enough to feed both my husband and I. Overall, the food was great, atmosphere and location was in a decent area, parking was convenient, but the service was just slacking a bit this day. I will probably try it again someday and hopefully have a better experience because I would love to order the Garlic Cream Fettucine again! read more

My colleague and I ordered salads today online to pick up for lunch. We had two completely separate orders. My order: large Chinese dumpling salad with addition of edamame as an extra add on. Her order: Half Chinese chicken salad They put my order in my colleagues bag and her order in my bag. I took the salad back to ask why my size was a half size and the girl at the front said oh you have the Chinese chicken salad half order. So she said they switched it on accident. I said my colleague already started eating and she shrugged and said sorry.. Didn't realize my wrong salad had peanuts in it and I have a peanut allergy. Wish they would have had better customer service. read more

I was in Sacramento visiting a friend and thinking thru our options for a light meal on Sunday, I remembered we had a good experience at the near by CPK a year ago. Both times the food was very tasty and the choices from the menu were surprisingly diverse. Of course this leads to wanting to order everything, and for me trying to thread the needle to get some combination thru minor substitutions. This tells me something fundamental about an establishment. I prefer to balance my Carbs with Protein / Fat, which has enabled me to control my weight more easily. We were seated quickly and the server was right there getting us a couple of Ice Teas and handing us our menus. Instantly I noticed they took the time to have different options featured on the cover of our two menus and the quality of the menus themselves as well as the promotional signs on the table were compelling. As I said, I was looking for a lighter meal , many a soup , salad or appetizer . They had an appetizer of "buffalo cauliflower" pictured on my friend's menu which I instantly was drawn to. As I looked at the actual description, it had an option to substitute chicken for the cauliflower and immediately, a combo of both came to mind. Even with offering to pay a full up charge, I was told it was not possible to get half and half. Well, no bother, I saw a serial Pizza which seemed to have similar sauce, chicken, with cheese. But right next to it were other Pizza offerings that were on top on Mac and Cheese instead of crust! My head exploded, what a great way to balance out the Carbs by removing the non Protein crust, which I usually leave in my plate and get a bonus of some Mac and Cheese with a much better balance of carbs protein and fat! Asking to have the new style Pizza served on top of Mac and Cheese? No . So back to the menu I plunged. All this time, I am having a blast trying to find what I want to eat that they are willing to serve me... I worked up an appetite, by this point, and then stared at the pictures. What if they could give me the Pizza toppings in a skillet without the Mac and Cheese? SUCCESS! The result was amazing and just exactly the right amount of food I was looking for, no crust or left over Mac and Cheese. The food was excellent, server: attentive, patient and kind to a crazy old guy who can't stick to a menu. The place is clean, inviting, quality food with an inviting, comfortable environment. You will pay a bit more than the competitors' in the same class of restaurant, but with enough patience and dialogue you can find one or more items to hit your cravings. I am guessing the rigid adherence to the menu details come from Corporate and for that need to micro manage this location, I have to pull things back from the otherwise 5 Stars they would have gotten otherwise. read more

We come here at least once a week . It is a drive for us but my daughter loves this place . The service is always excellent and the food is delicious no matter what we order . Compliments to the kitchen . Try the chicken picatta it's so good , their chipotle chicken pizza is delicious, love their lunch duos very filling , and if you love bread ask for a full loaf with your meal it actually is worth it for $4. read more

Avocado egg roll - 8/10, it tasted good but I wish it had a different sauce to it. One was a spicy ranch and another was a ranch. Supreme pizza - 9/10, overall very good but the crust was a little soggy. I wish it was a little bit crispier. read more

One of the final few? What a relief! A really nice space, large, open, not too loud, even when crowded. PLENTY of bar space as well! Big windows with natural light! The bartender, Manny was attentive and on point. I appreciated the manager checking in twice. We love our "fish bowls" of red sangria and rosé sangria, love our buffalo cauliflower, and my daughter loves the Mac & cheese, of course, even at age 25. Ordering would be easier if you brought back the Shrimp Scampi Pizza. I do appreciate the Salmon Piccata, that's one I always custom ordered... just make the chicken piccata noodles and add the cedar plank salmon or the pan-seared salmon. It seamed to throw off the kitchen when I did that, so this is easier, but TRY it with cedar plank. Try it with pan-seared. Much better than the sort of oddly charred salmon you've got going now. (Maybe it's supposed to be pan-seared but they are not nailing it?) A few years ago we showed up to our CPK in Utah to find it had closed. Last month while visiting Colorado we pulled up to one and were told it closed 3 days earlier. We found another location in CO and it looked BAD. The restaurant looked rundown. The manager looked exhausted. They charred my salmon twice then comped it. Glad to see someone is running a tight ship in Sacramento!!! read more

First service was great! Host was nice, server was on it! Submitted our little ones cheese pizza immediately. The rest took a bit. We don't do restaurants often, to save money. So we haven't been here in years. To start the drink I wanted was not available. I got the Neapolitan pizza. The creamy burrata is placed cold on the pizza. Just not my preference. Our air fryer made both the Neo pizza and carne asada much better than the restaurant. The crust was finally crispy and cheese was melted. They were stingy on giving you the green sauce to go. They used to give you a new full cup. (For asada )Now you're just allowed what you had left. That leads to the price!! Lunch for four 93 bucks?! Ouch! For that cost I want some take home salsa. Again why we don't restaurant often! read more

7/8/23 First timer at this location and our lunch experience was great! My youngest and I ordered some of our usual faves (all his) but I'm not complaining lol Service was on point. Alex our server was great and attentive. Before my son was out of his chocolate milk, he offered to bring a refill. We were offered complimentary br Started off with an appetizer - white corn and guacamole w/Serrano on the side. It was just ok, needed a lil more seasoning. The avocados were chunky and mixed with the corn kernels. My son ordered his usual fusilli pasta with meat sauce. I ordered for myself (but really for him too) the garlic cream fettuccine with chicken. There is ample parking at this location. We may choose to come out this way vs Roseville as we can hit up other establishments in area that would be more convenient for us. Until next time! read more

I have been to lots of CPK's and tried a lot of their food options and I am usually not too impressed. I don't remember seeing sandwiches on the menu, but I stopped here and ordered a Turkey California Club the other day and it really hit the spot. The sandwich was on a soft ciabatta type bread and had roasted turkey, avocado, bacon, lettuce and tomatoes. They also used mayo and some other condiments to make it very moist and flavorful. I could not get enough. I will definitely be back here for this sandwich or to try one of the other options I saw. I don't know if they offer this at all of their locations, but I suggest they start. Sorry about the picture but I was hungry and I honestly didn't think it would be anything to write about so it was already half gone once I realized I needed a pic. Also, the whole process was really quick; I ordered online and picked up in about 10 minutes so if you have a short window for lunch and you work in the area, I def recommend trying this. read more

Came on a rainy day for lunch before walking the mall and shared a meal. Service was prompt and quick. We ordered the chicken bacon avocado egg rolls which were a 10/10. Sauce was great and flavorful. We also share the chicken piccata which was very tasty but the portion size was incredibly disappointing for $22. I felt like I could hold the amount of noodles in one hand. For that price it should've been a large bowl/plate of food. However, the chicken was tender and plentiful. I'd come back for another meal but I'd hope for more food if I'm paying over $20 for an entree as it wasn't filling enough read more

First of all, we live in Rocklin and we have been so impressed with the service, the quality of the food and the In-Kind app partnership, that CPK has become one of our Go-to's. Jenyl has been our server almost every time and has done an exceptional job. We came for Valentine's Day and were seated quickly. We usually have the small Caesar and dynamite shrimp, both really good. The bread... with oil and spices, soooo good!!! I love the Garlic Crème pasta with shrimp (one of the best I've had and we eat out A LOT...). Generous portion of shrimp - most places are not - My wife usually gets the Shrimp Scampi Zucchini and loves it! We also enjoyed the butter cake flight for dessert. On the expensive side in comparison with other desserts we are used to... Something I mentioned to Jenyl that you do well also is the background music. This may seem trivial, but this is not a night club and A LOT of restaurants play whatever the employees prefer. Bad idea. Music can really add the ambiance or be a significant distraction. Thank you for doing a better job than many restaurants we have been to... At the end of a great meal we received the two for one cards which kept us coming back. See you next time Jenyl! read more

I stopped by here last Friday craving pizza. I ordered the thin crust pepperoni with mushrooms and it was delicious. I also ordered a fruity sangria beverage and it as the best I ever tasted!

California Pizza Kitchen - Pepperoni and mushroom - Pizza Near Me - Sacramento, California

Of all the Cpk's we have visited and ate at, this location had the best tasting entrees. We had the California Club Pizza, Thai Crunch Salad and the Salmon plate. The pizza crust was baked just right so the crust was not burnt nor underbaked. The toppings were fresh with a lot of toppings of avocado, spinach, bacon. The Thai salad was a big portion and the dressing was sweet, salty with a bit of vinegar. It was a delightful blend of fresh greens, carrots, peanuts, wanton strips and chicken pieces. The salmon was grilled just right and the accompanying side of Mexican corn was delicious. Overall, the food was great! However, I am giving it a 4 stars as the ladies' rest room only had one stall operating--the disabled one. The other stall had the door missing. This should have been repaired ASAP. Service was good. Servers came back from time to time to check if everything was ok. Food chain restaurants usually have set recipes but what sets one apart from the others is the care the kitchen crew puts into the preparation and execution of the dishes. This outlet seems to have a caring kitchen crew. Will definitely recommend! read more

We came here for a family get together for all the Birthdays this month. I have not been here in forever. The food here was just ok and they have taken a lot of stuff off the menu so that's why we don't come anymore. Service was slow but we did have a big table so expected. I really didn't see to much I wanted to eat there. I got the tomato bisque and it was not bad. I also got the mushroom pizza with the added truffle oil which made the piazza much better. The wife got the BBQ chicken salad with out the sauce. The salad was full size so nice and big but the chicken was hard way over cooked. Service was so long that she just ate the salad and left the chicken. Others got the steak and they all liked it. Except my sister had asparagus with it and it was cut up little pieces like out of a can. Not good at all. The kids got the strawberry smoothie and none of them liked it which is kind of weird. read more

Food and service were very good. No complaints. Will recommend to anyone who wants to give CPK a try.

First let me say, I like the food there. They do a pretty good job.Have improved significantly over the last two years. We mostly order for pick-up. There's where the problem starts. They pretty much only do a computer automated voice order system which is as frustrating as can be, that, when that system fails to get it right, overrides and sends to a remote ordering telephone service center. Frustrating process to order and get the order right. read more

We've been here a few times in the past few years. I had to ask if they still provide the complimentary bread in my last two visits. Then they would bring it out. We tried the Neapolitan Burrata Pizza and it was fine. The burrata is cold on the pizza. The Spinach Artichoke Dip is good. read more
