    I went to California Pizza Kitchen for lunch with a friend on a Tuesday. When we arrived, shortly after opening, we were the first people there. Our meal started with complementary bread and olive oil. I had the fresh strawberry mango cooler to drink. This was a great beverage. It had fruity flavors and the Fresca soda in it added a fizzy texture to it. I got the lunch combo of the lunch size original BBQ chicken pizza and tomato bisque soup. This was the perfect size for lunch. I always feel like I get a good deal for my money when I order off of their lunch combo menu. I left with an order of chips and guacamole because I was told at the end of the meal that I had a free appetizer that was expiring in one week. I feel that this could be changed to be notified about my appetizer earlier, but I had a good lunch the next day. I highly recommend California Pizza Kitchen!

    Barbaque pizza was amazing would definitely recommend! I would also recommend the chips and guacamole. The employees were really nice. The decoration was amazing especially seeing the fire oven was a really good

    Valentine's Special $40

    The family and I enjoy a visit to CPK every now and then when we crave for some original and unique pizza flavors and pastas. CPK had an awesome Valentine's dinner for two this week and I heard it was back from prior year. You can choose form 2 options of $40 or $50 and it comes with an appetizer, 2 entrees and a dessert for just $40. We had fresh white corn guacamole, BBQ Chicken pizza, a surprisingly delicious Chicken Tequila Fettuccine (that was as good as its name which we devoured before I remember to take any foodie photos), and ended with savory Butter cake. The Chicken Tequila Fettuccine is one that was new to us and it was SO delicious! The lime/lemon flavor mixed in with a special cream sauce they had really made the dish. It had such a unique flavor for a pasta dish and my husband and I shared it and scooped up every bite. It dominated the pizza and we only wish the portion was bigger. Since we tried it as a special package it was a a great deal since normally it is $20+ so I'm not sure if then the sizes would be bigger or not. Next time we are back, we would definitely order this pasta again. The white corn guacamole was freshly made and good but could have use a bit of salt so we asked for some. The butter cake was good but a bit plain and seem to flop in the middle as you can see from the photo. It was still a decent & moist cake and we finished it all. We got my favorite go-to BBQ Chicken Pizza which was good on a thin crust. It could use a but more chicken and onions, I felt like the ingredients on it was a bit on the slim side. However, given the deal of $40 special, this was a value meal. On its own, I would say these meals are a bit overpriced for the portions. You can sign up to be a rewards member and earn points when you dine which I think is a nice perk as they seem to have specials or promos often. Tip: they don't take reservations here so you want to account for that when you come and arrive ahead with your party. On this Valentine's night we were quoted 45 minutes but was taken in after 25 minutes which was great. A lot of tables were available but we could tell they were a bit short on staff. Still, overall a good experience and enjoyable night.

    tried out their new pizza on the menu and it was so good. they are not skimpy on the ingredients and our service was so good. the male waiter with the glasses should get a ride he knows how to treat customers well.

    Good clean food options. Service was good, restaurant was clean. Went in without a reservation and was seated right away. Salad was healthy and a good option but was also something I could easily have made at home. I did like the pizzas though! Yummy vegetables and the crust was really good. Loved the bread and olive oil thats complimentary.

    California Club, yummmmy. The Works is in the back.

    Honestly, I haven't been to CPK in FOREVER. My friend and I decided to stop here for some food after we went shopping at the mall across the street. We came in on a Wednesday night (7 pm), there were a ton of open tables and we got seated immediately. We were so excited for the complimentary bread with olive oil - it was just how we remembered it, warm and delicious! Our server was super nice and accommodating, as well. We ordered the Works pizza and the California Club. We liked the California Club better - the bacon, chicken, and arugula and salad mixed with a dressing on top was delicious! The Works was good, but a bit flimsy. Lots of the ingredients would fall off both pizzas. Overall, CPK doesn't have some world-renowned pizza, but their pizza, appetizers, salads, and bread are all good enough for me to return. I liked this location, too!

    TLDR: Service? What service we felt like we didn't get any or at least the bare minimum. Drink was empty from getting the food until we left. Super thirsty the whole meal. Pizza was decent same quality ingredients as normal, maybe slightly undercooked. Pasta was not worth it. Overall this is a good chain we do recommend, but maybe this location needs some new staff. In the 10 plus years I've visited this place, Geneva Commons has never failed me. Sorry Schaumburg location, I don't think we will be back for a while. Came in tonight after a long day at the Woodfield mall. It's Sunday about 6:30pm, they were decently busy but not packed. Table for 2 and we were able to get seated right away with a few tables around us that were empty. That's when things started to go down hill. After waiting the standard 5-10 mins our server came around to inquire about drinks. I just wanted water but my S/O was hoping for a cocktail, he asked about a blue hawaiian which was jot on the menu. The server seemed very confused and said she didn't think so, so I thought I would be helpful and ask if they kept blue curacao (the main staple), she looked at me confused and did a trailing off no as she walked away from our table, not asking if we wanted a different drink instead.... we assumed she was going to ask the bartender... about 5 mins later she comes back with 2 HALF pcs of bread and oil & 2 waters but said nothing on the alcohol drink we assumed her to have and asked about. She asked if we knew what we would like to order. Which we were able to place. Ok cool, bread was nice and crisp like normal but half a piece each? Seemed a bit skimpy. Food came out in a reasonable time. Thai chicken pizza was good. Not the best one I've had, middle seemed a bit undercooked but the flavors were all there. My S/O had pasta with added grilled chicken for $4. He said it was ok, but for the price and portion size he would have preferred getting the cheesecake factory. When the food was brought out his water was empty and he wanted some more bread for the pasta as well. We asked her for more which when brought out.... you guessed it more oil and 2 dinky half slices again.... now we know they can give more cause we literally watched other servers bring out a small plateful to their tables that asked for more before they even placed their orders! Water is still empty on S/O's end and our server not in sight... instead she is behind the bar making drinks and standing there. It confused us because she seemed to have no clue about the alcohol menu. But either way since the beginning of the meal to the end we never got checked back up on and thirsty as no one came by to refill waters or ask about how the meal was. Finally she came back and asked us about dessert at this point we are both irritable. Him being done a while ago and me with my plate off to the side. Asked for a box and check as we just wanted to get out of there and grab a drink else where and get service. They did seem to have lots of staff so lack of servers wasn't even an excuse for lack of service we got. On observation other tables were serviced much better when their server wasn't ours. We saw her a total of 3 times: Drinks order, food placed down, check given. We have never been more disappointed in CPK than we were today. Do we recommend yes, but maybe stay away from the pasta, and maybe another location or at least a different server....

    Customer service suspended site

    Update: the response I got from customer service went to a suspended site. Hmm what does that tell you about their customer service? Just for show, doesn't really help customers. You want to feel the fires of hell? Go to this restaurant on a hot day. Today we went and although it almost 100 degrees outside, it doesn't feel like we even went inside. The humidity and the heat from their oven was stifling. We complained about the heat and they shrugged and said it's 72. Meanwhile everyone is flushed in the face with the heat. Plus the pizza weren't even crunchy, but chewy. Also, looks like there was one server for the whole restaurant, poor guy.

    BLT pizza... Really good
    Kristen C.

    First CPK visit... Everything was good but nothing I would go out of my way for. Service was ok but the dirty tables were a turn off... We were seated at one and our waiter didn't stop over for so long we cleaned if with some baby wipes in my diaper bag. Started with dumplings... They were ok-not much filling Shared BLT pizza and Thai chicken.. my favorite was the BLT. All this and 1 iced tea was around $60.

    MY RATING: 3.5 MEAL: Lunch ORDER TYPE: Dine-in FIRST LOCATION: 1985 - Beverly Hills, CA MY ORDER EXPERIENCE I always passed by this restaurant, but I never got a chance to try their food. Being a Pizza lover, I was curious to try their pizzas because I have seen my folks from work order from this place. I got a chance to visit with friends. The establishment was big with plenty of parking spaces. As we went past lunch time on a weekend, there was not much of a crowd and only one side of the restaurant was almost full. So, I went up to the counter and asked for a booth which was available. The place was bright with a lot of ventilation and lights. The server handed us the menu and there were a lot of different pages for each meal course with a wide variety of food. I thought this place was only dedicated to pizza, but they had starters, salads, soups, pastas, and desserts. Obviously, the focus is on the pizza. This is ideal because of the way everything is laid out in a detailed manner. Every dish is marked with a sign which says Vegetarian or Made with No Gluten-containing ingredients which helps us pick our dish faster and easier. As we were looking through the menu, the server brought us water and complimentary bread with olive oil on the side. The bread was hard but later we got warm soft bread upon request. We were super hungry; they were gone in a moment. Following are the dishes that we ordered from each section. Sangrias Sangria Flight I was the only person in the group drinking so I took a flight to Sangria haha. The flight came with 3 different drinks with 3 oz each. Ordered from Best to least favorite. Strawberry Rose Sangria - RECOMMENDED This has been my favorite drink out of all three. It had a blend of citrus flavors, Belleruche Rose, Cointreau, Strawberries, Lavender, and Lemon. The drink was smooth and relaxing. If I go next time, I will directly order this drink. Seasonal - This drink was also good which had lemon-based taste Red-Berry - This drink was okay, which had a California twist of red wine, blackberry, raspberry, cranberry juice, and lemonade. I would call this a Berry juice haha. NOTE: Both Strawberry Rose Sangria and Red-Berry Sangria drinks are separately available. 1. STARTERS White Corn Guacamole + Chips - RECOMMENDED The dish came with colorful (Light yellow and Purple) Tortilla chips. The guacamole was fresh and tasted good. It was made from avocado, sweet corn, jicama, red onions, fresh cilantro, and spicy Serrano peppers. All the ingredients were blended well which made the dish tasty. CALIFORNIA-STYLE PIZZAS Just like any other pizza place with different steps but this pizza came with 2 steps. 1. Choose your crust. 2. Choose your pizza. We got two different Pizzas from each section. Both the Pizzas were well presented and looked delicious. Each Pizza came with 6 deliciously looking slices. CPK Original Pizzas California Veggie This was the Cauliflower Crust which had Broccoli, Grilled Zucchini, Cremini Mushrooms, Roasted Cherry Tomatoes, Corn, Red Onions, and Mozzarella. The pizza was served and well cooked. I felt like the Pizza was overloaded with vegetables and tasted alright. I had to add red peppers to make it spicy. Neapolitan Burrata Pizza This was again a Cauliflower Crust Pizza which tasted like a regular Burrata Pizza. The main toppings were tomatoes and basil leaves. I liked this pizza better than the above one. I was looking forward to trying these Pizzas, but they tasted alright. I would say neutral in taste. At least, I got to taste the Cauliflower Crust pizza. SWEET TREATS Butter Cake - RECOMMENDED This dish was an icing on our lunch. For dessert, we ordered Butter Cake. On the menu, it said "Trust us...just try it." This was true because the cake looked mouthwatering. It was served warm with whipped ice cream and vanilla ice cream. The bend of cold vanilla ice cream and warm cake made this dish WOW! WOW WOW WOW If I go back again, this dish is necessary in my order. The ambience was good, the staff person was patient and good. The service was decent. As the focus is on the Pizza so I would say the pizzas tasted okay. Maybe adding some spicy pizza to the menu would be good. The prices are a little on the high end, but it was okay to try it occasionally. As this was my first time visiting the place, I also got to sign up for their CPK rewards where you get offers from time to time. I would recommend this place to anyone, especially for their Butter Cake.

I would definitely recommend them. Prices are definitely what you would expect for a nice restaurant like this. They give out a slice of cake if you are celebrating a birthday. The bathroom was clean. The atmosphere of the restaurant had a dark setting but it was relaxing. It was chilly inside the restaurant just in my opinion. I would definitely come back to this restaurant. If you haven't been here before definitely try it out.
