I love the food, but this review is about the server, Angel. He was really attentive without being intrusive. He was perfect. The next time I visit the Studio City location I will ask if he's working and will Definitely request him as my server. You can love a restaurant and its food, but the service is the bow on top. Thanks, Angel! read more

We like coming to CPK. We started off with the crusty French bread and olive oil to dip, delicious. The salmon piccata was done to perfection, although the linguine was meh. The sauce was perfect. The Sicilian pizza I found disappointing, and we won't be ordering pizza there again. Too much thick crust and not enough sauce and toppings. Raul provided excellent service, friendly, knowledgeable, and paid attention throughout the meal which is a huge plus for us. read more

I loveeee this location! We come mainly because we love our server Ericka! She always is so lovely and welcoming. She is helpful and prompt. The manager Mari also helps us from time to time and really is a strong leader for her team. Highly recommend ordering the chicken picatta, but ask for extra sauce... read more

Had such a super nice server this evening - wish I got her name, but she was delightful. Dined by myself, but she was more attentive than ever, even when it was a busy Saturday early evening. I wasn't sure if I wanted the Tostada pizza or the Spicy Chipotle, but with her recommendation, I went with the latter and it did not disappoint! There's also yummy ranch (spicy chipotle style?!) that was on the side. Made for a yummy experience! I also really love the complimentary bread they give especially with the oil and spices. Just makes for a great little treat before my meal. The food came out pretty quickly and don't forget to sign up for their Rewards program too! Seems like a great deal! The restaurant is on the second floor of the shopping plaza, it's clean, some seating while you're waiting (if needed), and some seats at the bar too. I also appreciate all the windows on the second floor because it makes for some good lighting and makes the experience that much better. Grateful for a nice server, yummy food, and a great ambiance! read more

"Always great drinks and delicious food! The service was excellent, and Ericka was attentive throughout our visit. She consistently checked on us and made sure we had everything we needed. Her friendly and professional service made the experience even better. We'll definitely be back!" read more

My family comes here often. My daughter loves the kids cheese pizza (extra cheese), my wife loves the buffalo cauliflower, I love the WCB (west coast burger), and we all love the bread! The service is always quick, attentive, and friendly. The staff always gives us a warm welcome. The ambiance is typical CPK flair which is always clean and upscale. I gotta say that the burger is really amazing. It's so good that CPK could open a burger joint franchise with this recipe. CBK!!! read more

CPK Studio City is my happy place! I know I will always have a great meal and great experience. It's not just the location or the food, it is the delightful staff that ensures we have a great meal every time. The service and spirit make this location the most family friendly restaurant on Ventura Blvd. Special mention to Ericka, who takes service and kindness to a whole other level. CPKSC is THE BEST read more

The one star is strictly for customer service. I think this was by far the worst CPK location. Came to have lunch after a bad day and the service provided made my day even worse. The server looked like she was forced to work. There were 3 tables occupied and it took forever to get the check and boxes. After we walked out the manager on duty came out and said she noticed we weren't happy. She could have acknowledged us while we were seated. No wonder the place was empty read more

This review is ONLY for the curb side pickup. My kids like the food, so it's an easy pick for something quick and easy when we're on the move. However, I've ordered curb side pickup 3 different times and every single time, my order was not ready when it was scheduled to be picked up. I would end up waiting in my car for at least another 15 minutes and even then, my drink would be forgotten. read more

The Salmon in Lemon Butter sauce with capers was the star of the table. Seared to perfection on the outside and tender juicy on the inside. Great service all around from waitress and manger. Great location lots of parking right on Ventura, clean inside. read more

The food here was phenomenal today. My son and I met my nephews here for lunch and had a great time. The hostess wasn't friendly but the waiter made up for that. We were seated right away (there were seven of us). We ordered drinks and appetizers. I loved the new shrimp appetizer. So flavorful and delicious served over cabbage. I can have that for a meal next time. It's that good. The pizza was amazing so was my most favorite Thai chicken salad. So fresh and delicious. The right about of dressing and protein. Can't ask for a better salad, but I do need to try other options one day. Haha. ... the pasta my son ordered was so good. Parpadelle with short rib ragu ..... yummm sooo good. The piccata with salmon was amazing. My nephew wanted a second serving (he didn't get it lol) overall everything we ordered was perfectly made. I have been to other locations but I can easily say the food somehow tastes better here. Keep up the great work. We will be back. read more

I'll get to the point, my girlfriend had the steak salad... overcooked dry cubes of meat on top of wet bland greens, menu called for smashed crispy fried potatoes, the dish came with stale potato wedges. I had the tomato basil soup. Arrived in a pretty bowl tasted like marinara sauce. No garnish, very bland. After interrupting the server from his late dinner break to ask for the check, we were asked if we wanted a to go box because we did not finish the food. I pointed at the mostly full plate of salad and said "i don't think she liked it very much". That was it. We signed for the check and took off. Im glad we asked for bread and olive oil. That was pretty good. read more

Was looking for somewhere to eat with friends late Saturday evening and was really grateful that this was open! The parking structure didn't have a valet attendant around 8:30pm so we just parked on our own and didn't have to worry about validation. The staff helped us really quickly and the food was out in about 15 mins. I got the bbq chicken pizza -- the crust was very thick and there wasn't very much bbq sauce. It felt pretty dry compared to what I remember. My husband got the chicken piccata and it was almost inedible. He loved getting this dish in the past, but for some reason this time was a miss. The noodles were really overcooked, the sauce was VERY salty and sour -- the lemon overpowered everything. It was honestly not what we remembered. It also felt like the capers were not proportional to the noodles in the dish. It was a good place to hang out with friends but the food was not as good as we remembered. read more

When I think of a restaurant that goes above and beyond is this one! I had placed a pick up order and life happened that keep me from getting there on time and made me 1hr late. When I arrived I knew the order was going to be cold but it was my fault so absolutely no complaints. However, to my surprise the manager order a freshly made pizza and salad to ensure I took home a freshly meal. I was very appreciative as it was totally unexpected. Highly recommended and would be coming back. read more

Did curbside pickup on a busy Friday night. I ordered a Hawaiian pizza and had a free dessert using my rewards. The manager, Jennifer took my order and was the most kind and pleasant person you'd ever want to meet. She helped me with modifying my order and customer service was top tier. My food was delicious. Kudos to this location for getting things right on a busy night. read more

I ordered chicke. dumplings through Doordash. The ends were missing on 3 of the dumplings. I didn't know if it was the restaurant or the delivery guy. They don't usually look like that. The bag only had 2 staples. PLEASE secure the bags and/or the food. It wouldn't be fair to blame the driver if it was the restaurant's fault. read more

California Pizza Kitchen - Two of the dumplings look like nuggets. I wish the bag had been stapled or taped appropriately. The food container was not tapex either. - Pizza Near Me - Studio City, California

We had an amazing experience! Everything tasted so fresh, perfectly cooked and delicious! ESTEBAN was our phenomenal waiter, made our order and experience perfection! So grateful to the whole team for such a delicious and wonderful meal! read more

The people that package to-go orders are the sloppiest, laziest employees ever. I ordered via Postmates & they got none of my order correct. I was also missing bread & utensils. That's the absolute bare minimum for a to-go order & they couldn't even get that right. My salad tasted completely rotten like they used veggies from 2 weeks ago. This meal was absolutely ruined & a waste of money. If you can avoid going here, please do. read more

Ordered a half order of bbq chicken salad and the quality was sub-par. That ranch container might look full in the pic but it was filled less than half way so barely any dressing. The chicken was gross and reminded me of microwave grilled Tyson chicken. Salad was $17.25 for half order and honestly was fast food quality. Whenever I order from the Hollywood location they always give me a couple pieces of bread that you get free when you dine in and studio city didn't include any bread, also didn't give me a fork so I had to run to the grocery store on my lunch break to get a fork to actually eat my salad. read more

My wife and I grabbed lunch here today. She was getting her face cleaning across the street, so I came here first and sat at the bar until she joined me. They were not busy at all so I was able to be seated right away and watch the reply of the NBA finals. The place is not that big inside so be aware. I got a coke and the waitress got me some bread while I waited for her. When my wife came, we got seated in a booth. My wife got her Salmon on a plank and I got their Dynamite Shrimp. It did take a little while for our food to come out but it was a problem. I thought the Dynamite Shrimp was okay but I wouldn't order it again. My wife loved her Salmon dish. The customer service we received here today was great. There also free parking in the back of the plaza the restrauant is in, they'll validate your parking pass for you. read more

The service and food was great! It also isn't too loud which is great! Will definitely come again

I am updating my review from 5 star to another 5 star!!:-)) In between the years and over the years I have been going to this particular CPK. Hardly had a bad dining experience!!!! I will tell the good the bad, and the ugly:, so people/staff/management can read our reviews and take appropriate action and make things right for their paying customers. I was there on 8/20/24 and had another exceptional, excellent dining experience. My server Marco/Mundo exceeded my expectation in every way... and I was so pleased with him and his service. He was friendly, knowledgeable, professional, fast, yet productive.Got my order right, and came out with my order on timely matter. He was also very personable with a warm, nice smile on his face!! Very much appreciated. These days people barely look at your face, let alone to say hello or smile. Shout out to Mundo!!! I told him that I was going to write a review ON YELP and I just did. I also brought it to his manger's attention. His name is Michael. He was pleased, thanked me and said AS IT SHOUD BE!! I have ordered their half bbq chicken salad, wild mushroom Pizza, and Chicken Piccata. For drink I got peach lemonade. Everything tasted DELICIOUS AND FRESH!! The restaurant is always clean and comfortable and never too crowded when I go there. Nice ambiance and good vibes is always appreciated! This was my 3rd time being served by Mundo and was very HAPPY and PLEASED in every way!!:-)) THANK YOU MUNDO AND STAFF AT CPK!!! Will be back soon.Keep up the good work. I also did the survey on CPK'S page. read more

Great food great service thanks to manny Mary and Erica they are the best always taking good care of me and my kids highly recommend them.

Mundo was an amazing server. Managers Lupe & Mari were so accommodating. Thank you once again for the great food and wonderful service.

I've developed an unhealthy addiction to CPK recently, but out of all the ones that I've visited, this one really takes the cake as one of my "never returns." Between the rude valet staff, the sometimes present CPK staff, or the salty chicken, I'm not sure which disappointed me the most. Driving along the street, I noticed the signs directing me to parking, not realizing that it was valet until I was trapped inside. The real kicker is that the valet staff said it was free and operated on tips. When I went to retrieve my car, my seats and mirrors were all adjusted, the steering wheel had an oily, grimy feel, and the valet staff said $5.00... first and worst valet experience ever. The staff at CPK were present, though it took a while to be seated, and once served never returned. I ordered a chicken piccata and got a Dodgers cheese pizza with mushrooms. For starters - or not - the complimentary bread wasn't served unless asked. The chicken piccata... SALTY is all I remember. Out of courtesy and time, I decided not to substitute it for another dish. But imagine dry chicken smothered in a tub of salt - that's what it tasted like. The pizza was alright, though regular and not so outstanding as to redeem the terrible experience that was valet and the barely edible chicken. read more

A few weekends ago I had lunch here with a friend. I wasn't in the mood for pizza or pasta, so I ordered the California Club sandwich. It was delicious! It came with a delicious larger than I expected salad. The waitress was terrific and offered me numerous refills of my ice tea. Prior to leaving, a manager came over to ask if we enjoyed our meals. Although I'm sure the California Club is part of all CPK menus, I would certainly choose to order it again at the Studio City location because of the great service, atmosphere, and managerial over-site! read more

This location is great! We all really enjoyed our food; a new baked mac n cheese, a bbq salad, and a gluten free pizza. CPK is always accommodating for ppl with gluten allergies. Our server Karen was also great! She was so positive and helped us with the menu. We will be back to this clean, spacious, location. read more

One of good CPK we have been to. Food is little better here. Hard to spot it at first since it is located upstairs. Did have to circle around to find the place. Service was good. read more

I had a bowl of pasta. There was something in it. A foreign object broke my front tooth. The manager made a report. It took two phone calls before anybody got in touch with me. I sent all the pictures from my dentist asking them to pay for the dental work. Their response was we are not responsible for foreign objects in our food. read more

I had a meal here at CPK's Studio City location today which I truly enjoyed but what made it extra special was being attended to by server Ericka. She is phenomenal at customer service and always takes great care of her customers. I always enjoy seeing her when I go to this location and will be going back again because of her as well. read more

Pro: Food was delicious, as always. Service was great, attentive and welcoming. Restaurant was clean and tidy. I got the seasonal sparkling sangria, it had pineapple i think, and it was very yummy! Con: Only downside is i notice the chicken piccata portions keep getting smaller ): But i love CPK, and plan to come back! read more

Celebrated our daughters bday at CPK this weekend and had a great time. Service was friendly and attentive. Food was fresh and delicious. We were impressed with the manager, Mari, who checked in on us and made our daughter feel very special. Thank you! read more

10/10 experience. My sister and I walked in less than an hour before closing and were greeted greatly by the host. The main reason for this review is for the awesome waiter, Angel, who just had such a positive vibe and energy. He was very kind and sweet. He made sure we got everything we needed and that we were satisfied. Upon leaving, the rest of the kitchen staff interacted with us and made sure we had a good night. This place truly cares a lot about customer service and it's rare to find that nowadays. read more

We were here months back. It was freezing outside walked inside the restaurant. It was equally as cold. If not colder than it was outside. Ask the manager why is it so cold? Can you turn the heater on? He said no it's broken and it has been for sometime.! Fast-forward to current date April 17 same thing it's freezing outside we walk inside. It's colder inside than it is outside. Ask the waitress if the heater was still broken she said I don't know but it sure is freezing in here. That's coming from the waitress ! They can't fix the heat in this place. You pay good money for this restaurant! California pizza kitchen being a large chain. Can't afford to get the heater fixed after months and months. Basically all winter. That shows you how much they care about their customers. So very sad this is what it's come to. read more

This is a usual spot for my family. The food is always good and the service is great too. A special shout out to Yoselyn and Mundo who are always so friendly and attentive.
