    Had a dinner date night here. It was pretty packed and we had to wait about 10 mins. GF items are marked on the menu. They don't have many options but they have a cauliflower crust for their pizza. I let the server know I was celiac / gluten free. She was very knowledgeable and let me know everything would be made GF. I ordered the bbq chicken pizza and it came out with an allergy stick. The pizza and service were excellent. I also got the sangria sampler. The strawberry one was the best.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    I had never been to Bella Napoli before, so I stopped in one day because I was looking for a venue…read morefor my good friends' retirement party. Hillary was very gracious as she showed me the private room that they have at the restaurant. It was simply perfect! I booked the room and a few months later we had the party. The food is absolutely excellent! It's the most authentic Italian pizza you will have in the suburbs! The salad and pasta were very well received from all the guests! We had almost 60 people at our party. Hillary was very helpful during the whole time as well as the two bartenders that were working our party. They have a microphone and plenty of tables for your use. They even supply centerpieces for all the tables. They have a beautiful patio as well that the attendees could walk outside and relax there as well. I really enjoyed the fact that I could connect my phone wirelessly to their speaker system so I can play music during the party. They also have music of their own that they provide as well. There were so many compliments from the attendees on the ambience andthe food quality! If you were looking for a place just to have a nice meal, or to have a small party, I would highly recommend Bella Napoli!

    My friends and I came here for happy hour & it did not disappoint! They have great deals for drinks…read more& $3 off appetizers and $3 off pizzas. Our server was attentive and with all of our requests we had....she was able to make it happen! We liked that we're still able to talk to each other and it wasn't too loud there. It seemed like it was not super busy for happy hour, but people started to come in and it got busy for dinner! We ordered mussels with white wine, crispy calamari, Cesar salad, & a pizza. We loved everything that we ordered! The mussels were nice and plump, which was a huge plus for us! Even the pizza hit the spot. We would definitely come back here again!
