Always very nice staff! they dont usually have time to talk much when they are busy, so I think people might take it as rude when they are just doing their job. Pizza always comes on time and it comes fresh! read more

Our experience here was amazing! Our serve Tessa was so kind and attentive... we loved her; I would defiantly come back here again for the service and great food. :) read more

Overpriced takeout. I ordered a half salad to go; I've ordered this same salad in the restaurant and it was 2 times bigger than what they gave me... such a rip off. They didn't provide any utensils for me to eat my salad either... read more

Although I have been coming to CPK for close to 20 years, I have only been to the Temecula location a handful of times, and it had been nearly 5 years since my last visit. I was sadly disappointed to learn that they had done away with the Chinese Chicken Salad, since this was one of my favorite items on the menu! Boo! Anyway, ordered the Chicken Tequila Lime Fettucine...it was very good. Everyone else in my party had different pizzas and they were all satisfied with their meal. We also ordered dessert, butter cake, delicious, but very sweet, and the chocolate soufflé, just delicious. All in all, our meal was very good. Our server, Natalia, was excellent...friendly, helpful, attentive, and efficient. Great job! We'll be back! read more

Although the food was good, the service was terrible!!! We had to repeatedly ask for bread and we didn't get it until after our main course. We then had to wait at least 30-40 minutes for our pizza to go and then an additional 30 minutes for our bill...all the while it's getting hotter and hotter outside . read more

Oh CPK! What happened to you??? We came in remembering how good the food was! It's been a really long time since we've been here! Let's start with the decor inside! It now now looks like Denny's.. what happened? This restaurant use to be beautiful and fun! The food tasted very salty and pizza was super tough (bbq chicken) The only good thing was our server but unfortunately that alone won't bring us back. read more

I was excited to try the spinach artichoke dip, it was okay, not great it was warm and a bit expensive (about $11.50) I don't think it's something I'll order again if I ever decide to come back the pizza is so thin it got soggy before we could finish it. As far as service, TERRIBLE. Hardly saw our server. I never got a refill. Out of 4 drinks only one was refilled. When she offered pepper flakes ranch or Parmesan I said yes on all 3 and when she came back she forgot the ranch when I mentioned it to her I could tell she got a little irritated. When I order a drink that's no refillable at least try to sell me another one, chances are I will buy it. Good service and great attitude makes great tips FYI. (Even if the food isn't great) read more

Did a bit of shopping out there and grabbed some food with my sister and brother-in-law. I have never been to that location ever up until this point. My sister had her baby in a stroller. Staff definitely make sure we got a table that we were able to bring the stroller around with us. So I think you for that. Our waitress was pretty amazing as well. Forgot to grab her name but she was awesome. If I'm ever back in the area I would deathly love to come back they don't have any vegan options but vegetarian options are there. read more

We just finished our late lunch here at CPK Temecula. It was the first visit.com my spouse and the manager welcomed her first visit with a Thai salad, smoked pepper and Italian salad. The server was also attentive and awesome. She even recommended the extra dipping sauce for my Thai chicken pizza. Purely amazing. Just shows you don't have to go fine dining to get a 5 Star level of service! read more

Great service and great food. Manager came over to say hello and make sure we had everything we needed and our drinks seem to never go down. We will be back for sure. read more

If I could give less than one star I would. I was fine with the 15 minute wait to be seated. However when the kitchen staff completely ignored our modifications to our order and packaged everything to go as well instead of how we had requested. We had had enough. We requested a manager, who never showed up. He amended the bill to reflect removal of the changes however that was not satisfactory enough and when the waitress went to go get him he told her he was too busy to come deal with us. I am reporting them to corporate. I was completely disturbed by the fact that he claimed he was "too busy " to assist us. I have worked in the restaurant industry for over 20+ years, and there was an utter disregard for customer service. It fell upon the waitress to dismiss the entire bill because we were so angry. Which wasn't her job, she is not management. And she should not be responsible for that but she was nice. However this management needs a serious looking over. And we will not be returning to this location ever. I recommend everyone to stay away. read more

I tried to come in to eat and I walked in and the smell of sweat hit me straight in the nose y'all need to turn the air conditioner on or get some fans or something read more

If you like overpriced average pizza, this is your place! Spent $100 before tip feeding 4 people pizza for lunch - CRAZY! Would have spent way less than half as much for better food at Pizzaville, Rusty's or - my favorite - Queens Pizza on Mt. Vernon read more

Received the worst service from Madison today. The only reason I'm leaving two stars is because Tracy was so sweet and helped grab stuff for us throughout our meal (we will definitely be requesting her if we come in again). Took us 15 minutes to even be greeted, constantly sat with completely empty drinks, and our server was nowhere to be found. My vegan friend ended up having meat in her salad ( we requested it without) and rather than receiving an apology, received attitude from our waitress. She was nowhere to be found throughout our meal and had the worst attitude. read more

My kids like to eat here especially for the dessert And the people who work here are nice it's only one thing that sometimes they took a little to long to take your order but other than that it's good read more

So disappointed! The California Salad was terrible... Not fresh as advertised. The strawberries were mushy and sour. The watermelon was tasteless. The seasonings they use overwhelmed the dressing .. Ugh!!!! The pepperoni and cheese pizza tasted like s frozen pizza. The server and manager were great but the food has gone downhill at CPK read more

WOW, WOW, WOW!!! Ordered two pizzas, which would normally feed my family with ease, but ended up with two personal pan, soggy messes which cost over $50. This is a perfect example of a pizza shop that thinks all they need to do is hand toss a crust and add fresh ingredients and they can charge criminal prices. There are much better pizza shops in Temecula with better prices. I even put this shop below Dominoes and Marcos. If you haven't tried this place don't and go to Spuntino's instead! read more

I came to eat dinner at this location with my husband and so it is hard to find parking but we made it at 8:05 and this rude guy came up to me telling me that is closed when in the website says closed at 9 pm very rude because I explain that I have to drive an hour from corona to eat at my fav location he was mean and rude so he told me he was closing early because there was no water wich is a lie I ask if can I order for to go he said no there is no water read more

The food is good. My favorites are the pepperoni pizza and the garlic shrimp pasta dish. Well during this pandemic I've ordered take out a few times from here and despite my including extra sauce with the order they don't provide extra sauce every single time. It's so frustrating! What is the point of making a side request if it is ignored? I don't care to visit this CPK even after things open up because of the poor takeout order service I've received. So just save your time, energy and money and just order take out from somewhere else. Simply, poor service. read more

Yummy ! Best BBQ chicken salad ever ! The bread is excellent also! Good drinks. Pizza are great, love this place ! Staff is mostly friendly ! read more

I always enjoy eating at CPK in Temecula. Today I met one of their employees "Victor" who was telling me about one of their signature desserts, THE BUTTER CAKE but then he added that they serve it with ice cream and BACON CRUMBLES. I was eating my main course when he walks out and presents me with THE BUTTER CAKE with the bacon crumbles. IT WAS AMAZING. The perfect balance of sweet and savory. I was pleasantly surprised. CPK's staff is always so kind and attentive. It's always a good experience. read more

California Pizza Kitchen - Victor and his famous BUTTER CAKE with ice cream and bacon crumbles. THANK YOU VICTOR!!! - Pizza Near Me - Temecula, California

Very pleased with my son's 21st birthday party held at BJ's restaurant. Referred there by the manager in San Diego I'm glad I took his advise, Great service and food was delicious. read more

So yesterday I had ish to do in Temecula and figured I would try to swindle the bfs brother into a lunch date. Success. We met at CPK at ten after eleven. As I am sipping my water and he is enjoying his mango tea, we decided on half a chicken caesar for me and half a plain caesar for him. Around twenty minutes later our lovely waitress comes by to inform us our salads would be out in a few as my chicken was not quite done. Being quite the 'cooker' I am aware that breasts of chicken do not take anywhere near twentyfive minutes to cook so I audibly wonder why the eff it takes so long for chicken here. At any rate, our salads come out shortly and we dive in. We finish our lunch and the waitress clears the table and asks if we would like more drinks, yes please. We end up sitting here through the end of her shift, and through the end of someone elses. A random woman walked by once and asked to get us something which we happily obliged to. At one point following this, we were being completely ignored and I had to gently flag someone to bring us more beverages. Apparently we were the thirstiest people in the world! Five and a half hours, five bathroom trips, six waters for me and ten teas for the brothers bf LATER...we finally leave. Wow...I believe we set a world record. Thanks CPK Temecula for being so patient...despite the fact your restaurant was mostly empty majority of the time we were there, I appreciate you not heckling our gossip session. PS to you though: Clean your effing bathrooms and add an air freshener. They smelled like wet dogs. read more

I've always been a fan of CPK since before Yelp was around. And this particular location is no different! Pizza, small plates, appetizers and cocktails are all great here. Some of my faves are the BBQ Chicken pizza, Avocado Egg Rolls, Wedge Salad and their version of a Mojito are all what I love. And they serve bread with Olive oil too which is always a plus for me. Our server was friendly and prompt with drinks and our food. This restaurant is in a great location right across from the movie theater and the outdoor mall part. I don't come here very often because it is a little pricey but the food is always tasty. TIP: If you sign up for their "rewards" program on their website, you get a free "small plate" item which is a pretty good deal! read more

Met a friend for a late dinner this evening. It's been a while since my last visit in the dining room. I usually just order for pick-up. It's a pretty convenient service through the CPK website that I recommend you utilize. I ordered the Goat Cheese and Roasted Peppers pizza while she went with the Roasted Artichoke and Spinach pizza. My pizza was decent, served fairly warm and the cheese paired well with the roasted peppers. I tried a slice of the artichoke pizza and thought it tasted a tad rich. I probably should've cleansed my palette before trying it, but I thought the fontina cheese was a tad bitter. We also shared an order of the Singapore Shrimp rolls, which I would recommend to those who have yet to venture to a Vietnamese restaurant. It's very similar in taste. The waitstaff was so accommodating and friendly, even though we walked in at 845p on Sunday not knowing that they close at 9p. Hence the 30% tip... read more

I love CPK but this one SUCKS. The service here will spoil your meal rotten. Yeah, our waiter was alright, for the 2 minutes of presence she oh so graced us with. It wasnt her problem though, it was the skinny noodly lookin manager that couldnt stop flirtin with all the female workers. My bf and I were watching him and damn... we both were in the restaurant industry for years and we have no clue on how the hell hes the effin manager there. Place was pretty dead and no one really looked happy up in that beeatch. Hope the manager reads this and decides to keep his hormones under control cuz its sad to watch him try so damn hard with his female minions. :( 1 star for the delicious peach iced tea and 1 star for chicken tequila pasta. read more

The best part about my meal was the actual food. It had really good flavor. That being said I personally feel the portions are way off here I get much bigger pasta portions other places and for the same price. The wait staff was fine, not very attentive but not rude at all. The prices aren't worth the amount of food but the quality is yummy. I think you can have both quality and quantity when you charge as much as black angus and Cheesecake Factory. read more

Wow, I didn't expect much from a restaurant that specializes in pizza but this is a great restaurant. FOOD: I love their complimentary bread & EVOO, very yummy and well-seasoned. They have other good foods that are not in pizza form too; I highly recommend their Kung pao spaghetti! It's unconventional, but the spicy sweetness of Kung pao sauce & peanuts with that perfect snap of spaghetti noodles is so perfect! SERVICE: hostess was pretty indifferent & unfriendly, but our waitress was opposite that! She was sweet & made sure our experience was great. Highly recommend this place! read more

The food is good, but the service was poor. We ordered and waited. We noticed that as we waited every other table received bread but we did not. read more

CPK in Temecula is the best place to eat the food is fresh and delicious all the time!!! The staff is always friendly and welcoming. If I can give this place 10 stars or more I would. read more

For dinner my cousin and I decided to go here because she is a (in Jenna Maroney's voice) VE-TE-RAN. Like many other celebrants and their families we came in for pizza. Our guy taking our order told us that the kitchen was so backed up in orders of pizza and the wait would be for about an hour, so we opted for the Fettuccini Jambalaya. We're so used to eating Alfredo that this was something interesting to try. When our dish came in you can smell the spices and it already seemed tasty just by looking at it. I don't like my pasta cooked al dante but all the other ingredients made up for it. I've been craving for crawfish for quite some time (crawfish season in Dec!), so yummy. I was surprised the shrimp were big compared to most restaurants. The tails were still on, which I find a tiiiiny bit annoying so I cut them off and saved them for last :). They chunks of chicken were perfectly cooked! Tender and juicy. Sausage of course, always yummy. For the tails I don't peel the shell off, too much work, I just bite and squeeze the last of it, kind of like toothpaste haha. I enjoyed this meal and if anyone would like to try something different rather than pizza, order this. read more

Lots of good stuff to choose from! They have a mini-appetizer menu that lists small salads, tacos, mac & cheese, etc. Definitely offer a variety for a pizza restaurant! Their macaroni and cheese (with extra cheese and parmesan cheese shavings) is ridiculously delicious! My friend force-fed me ;) Their bread is still not my favorite... too hard/cold for me. Hawaiian pizza is all that I get here as far as actual pizza goes... and it's never failed me. read more

Standard CPK. We always have good service at this location which is why it gets three stars. Very attentive hostess and wait staff. I'm not crazy about the food. It's way too salty. I usually order the chopped salad with garbanzo beans, pretty salty. I like the very similar version for $3.50 from Trader Joe's better. I do like the CPK split pea soup with barley and my Mom likes the tortilla soup so we usually only visit during the winter months. The bread is always good. read more

Went to dinner tonight. It was my sisters birthday and we were hoping to have a nice meal together. Unfortunately that was almost entirely impossible. From the minute we sat down not a single plate was ever cleared and service was terrible. We asked several times if someone could clear our plates however nobody ever did. We asked the waitress if she could bring ice cream for her birthday and when she did she set the Sundae there was no candle, she said "Sorry there is no candle I didn't have a lighter. " Might I add its very hard to enjoy dessert when your appetizer and dinner plates are still on the table. We asked to talk a manger. He offered a 10% discount and some gift cards but even after that it still took 15 minutes to get the check. We spent 2 and a half hours there in total. It was a birthday to remember for sure but for all the wrong reasons. We won't be coming back..... read more

I love this place. When I die, I want to be buried with a Jamacan Jerk Pizza. I ALWAYS get one of these regardless of what else I may try. For something lighter, try the BBQ Chicken Salad. Another winner. Service is always pretty good, even when they are crowded and the staff is always friendly. This may well be my favorite pizza place. read more

Nice location; I've been here numerous times and have always had a pleasant experience. The drinks are well made. I've always enjoyed their salads but I have also tried a few of their pizzas, all were delicious which has lead to my return. I've never had to wait more than 10 minutes for a table. Only reason for the 4 stars is because it's across the walkway from the movie theater so on occasion fridays nights you get some Roudy unaccompanied teenagers; although the staff is great at keeping their noise levels to a minimum. read more

It's a pretty good place overall. I took my boyfriend here because he did not believe me that CPK was a real place that existed outside of the freezer isle at Target. You can pretty much get whatever kind of pizza there is which is cool. They have some dough club you can sign up for and get rewards to free dough or something like that. Pretty good service too. read more

Haven't been to CPK in a looong time and my boyfriend has never been. He ordered a mojito and I had the strawberry lime margarita. I liked my margarita, but he didn't really enjoy his mojito. But meh, it's just alcohol. He ordered the thai chicken pizza and I stuck with my usual (even more so now that I'm vegetarian) white pizza! I looooooove that pizza so so much! I'm glad CPK understands spinach on pizza unlike pieology, BJ's & Yardhouse. Spinach is SO much better than artichoke ...just sayin'! I opted for whole wheat crust and he went with the thin crust. We both enjoyed our pizza :-) And the customer service was EXCELLENT. The hostess even held open the door for us as we exited! I'm not sure what people are talking about bad service. Every employee we encountered was super friendly. Hands down my favorite spot for pizza! read more

This evening ,Sat, Feb 3 2018,my family and I (party of 5) were seated on the patio for an early dinner. we were served by Chas. It was my daughters 18th birthday, and Chas not only provided timely and excellent service, he made the occasion extra special by serenading us with "Don't stop believing," a particular favorite. He anticipated our drink refills and never had us wanting, though seating on the patio can always lead to neglect in many other restaurants. We ordered numerous items from appetizers pizzas and deserts and drinks and he never got any item wrong. His personable and professional manner makes him a Star on your team. Additionally, the door greater assisted us initially in seating us and proving place setting on the patio when we arrived. Another server came out to great us warmly stating she too has American Bull dog. (as we had brought our Oscar along with us). She kindly assisted us . Our overall experience is one of the best we could have ever expected on a busy Saturday, and certainly one of the best my brother has ever experienced in is nearly 30 years of eating at CPK. Please commend Chas, the kitchen staff and your other servers for an excellent job. Sincerely, Debbie & Family read more

This place is so good. I'm not a huge meat eater and this is the one place I can come and have some amazing tasting chicken. It's super family friendly too, what kid doesn't want pizza? The rewards are an awesome bonus too. read more
