Nothing spectacular, but a lot of new menu choices. I haven't been in years and decided to dine here since we were already at the mall. We had the avocado rolls for an appetizer, they were good but too greasy for a "healthy restaurant". We shared the Cesar salad, which was tasty and their croutons are super yummy! The problem is they put huge pieces of shaved Parmesan on top, that you have to cut with a knife! Not the kind of work I want to put in on a salad. I had the Shrimp and Zucchini pasta on the lighter fare menu. It was very good and the shrimp were cooked perfectly! It could use more salt and seasoning, but was very good for the price. Of course we had to order a pizza so we went with the good old standard of the BBQ chicken pizza. The hubby loves bacon, so he added it and I picked it off and put it on his slices. I am not so sure its worth the $1.50, it wasn't very good in my opinion. For drinks we had the sangria and the long island iced tea. The long island was stiff and worth the money, the sangria was tasty but WEAK, I should have just ordered a glass of wine would have been better off. read more

You can never go wrong with chicken bbq pizza! Customer service here kinda sucks.. no one attend to my table. I had to go out and tell someone that my order was ready... Kind of ridiculous. And they didn't offer me bread. I love CPK and it kinda sucks that the service here as this bad. If only I want craving their pizza, I would have asked out. read more

Do NOT get the Cobb Salad! My mom, sister, & I just had dinner here last night around 8PM. I was the only one that ate the Cobb salad and I got food poisoning!!!!!!!!!!!! I just came back from the hospital and the Dr agrees that I had food poisoning. I had both diarrhea and vomiting since 330AM this morning. Other than that, our server messed up on my order. Nor did she bring me my side of marinara that I requested. She was pleasant. I'd give ZERO stars, but YELP will not allow me to proceed. So negative 1 star it is for me! read more

Service and food was great but the lobby area was dirty. Rug needs to be vacuumed and floor swept of dirty dirty napkins and trash which people are under and around the benches to sit and wait to eat. Also, hostess was scratching her head multiple times and wiped her nose a couple times with her sleeve. Not a good sign of cleanliness in the restaurant. First impression was not impressive. read more

If I could give this place a 0 starts I would. Family and I walked in, saw one of the employees making out with her BF, all meanwhile we're waiting to be greeted. One of the other employees finally walks over and greets us and sat us at our table. We then waited over 20 minutes for someone to offer us drinks, and meanwhile the entire restaurant was pretty much empty! Horrible experience and not recommended. read more

I really enjoy going to CPK because the food always tastes great and the desserts are amazing.

They left my brother starving and my brother was so hungry so I gave him my food but was still disappointed!

We ordered from California Pizza Kitchen through Grubhub and the pizzas were cold and stale. It almost tastes like they were made days ago and then reheated and sent out for delivery. This was our first time trying CA Pizza Kitchen and it will certainly be the last. read more

We went here August 3 2019. Our waitress Patti was a hoot very customer friendly. She carries a very well rounded knowledge of the menu. We were looking for a salad and went with her two recommendations. Awesome! Then she informed us of their "Cauliflower crust pizza to take home" we did and just baked it and I would defy anyone with a pallet to tell the difference between this and a bread pizza! This cauliflower pizza is the best I've had "Ever" Thank you Patti you are the best! Thank you for the laughs, the food, and not so importantly to me, "the bill" lol Thank you Carl and Debbie read more

I went to this place on a Friday night, not too busy surprisingly. So went got a table outside because it was a nice night. We did that $32 for two deal they had going on which gives you an appetizer, two entrees and a dessert. Sounded decent. My girlfriend and I ordered that and our friend just got an order if their crispy mac and cheese. We got the spinach artichoke dip, my gf got their bbq chicken pizza, i got a hawaiian pizza and we ordered the key line pie for dessert. The appetizer came out and it was sadly the best part of our meal. The chips were good the dip was good so we had high hopes. Her pizza was alright, but my hawaiian pizza was just nasty. Hardly any sauce and the sauce that was on it has such a flavor that I ended up spitting it out. I ate a few pieces of the ham off the top and just decided to fill up on the dip. Our friend who got the mac and cheese was deceived by their very poorly written menu. It described the crispy mac and cheese to have panko on top and it worded it in such a way that you would think it would just be a small thing of mac and cheese with panko on top. Nope, they tiny DENSE fried balls of mac and cheese, 4 of them on a plate with the tiniest bit of what I can only explain as cheese whiz drizzled onto the bottom of the plate. They were so small and they had so much breading that they were hard, dense and barely even had any mac and cheese in them at all. She couldn't even eat them. Our waiter, Andrew, really needs to learn some customer service skills. He came around way too often, didn't ask us if he could take some of our empty dirty plates and he just kept asking us how everything tasted and didn't pick up on our very unenthusiastic tones as we said basically the food was meh. He hovered and just made our already disappointing dinner, awkward. We finally told him the mac and cheese things were gross after my friend asked him for the menu one more time because she wanted to read again the description of the mac and cheese she ordered. She told him that it made it sound different that what she got and that they were really gross. All he said was "Oh... I'm sorry..." And then hovered around for a moment before finally walking off... Like uhhhh are you going to offer us anything different or offer to take it off the menu? Nope you just walk off. But he did end up taking it off the check for us which was nice, he just kinda did it so that was nice. I dunno the quality of the food was just completely not worth the price, we got the key lime pie to go and it wasn't even good it tasted store bought. Ughh and they charge 2.99 for soda.... Just not worth the prices at all I will not be returning. read more

CPK has recently become a staple for my wife and one of her girlfriends after then weekly stroll through the Promenade. Last week I was invited to tag along to run the errands, and as a result found myself at CPK for a quick lunch. After a morning of running errands and shopping at the mall, we had TONS of stuff in tow and required a larger booth to accommodate all of our belongings. The hostess didn't have any problem at all seating us in a booth twice the necessary size for the amount of people we had, and we were approaching the lunch rush. Our order was taken quickly, and the food came out even faster. I had the Sam Adams winter lager with the chipotle chicken pizza, while my wife and her friend both enjoyed the soup/sandwich option. We were in and out quickly, and all very pleased with the service. I can absolutely understand why my wife and her friend continually frequent this particular CPK. keep up the good work! read more

We hadn't been to CPK in many years. I was under the impression this was a restaurant for a younger less picky crowd. Well, we decided to pop in the other night for dinner, very pleasantly surprised. Our hostess was nice, our server was great and our food was very good! We will be back for sure. read more

okay wow was that quite literally one of the worst restaurant experiences i've had... everything started out great, but quickly went downhill. to start, our server disappeared MULTIPLE times throughout our dinner. i know it's not restaurant standard, but looking at the table and seeing THREE empty glasses and not offering refills is crazy to me. i'm a server myself and i've never worked somewhere where that's not in the training. THEN, one of the pizzas came out missing a main ingredient and when we notified the food runner she repeatedly cut us off to tell us "well i don't know i didn't put the order in". which obviously we knew since she wasn't our server. when our server came to the table to let us know they were "making a new pizza" she offered to let us take the messed up one home. HOWEVER when she came back with the pizza it was so obvious that the just put the missing topping on top and threw it back in the oven. so come the end of the meal, she has no pizza to give us to take home AND still charged us for the messed up pizza offering no discount, not to take it off, literally nothing and says "oh i'm so sorry the kitchen ACCIDENTALLY threw away your old pizza or used it for another order" like cmon miss girl we're not dumb we know what you did. AND THEN the kitchen messed up the to go order that had already taken 30 minutes to prepare which meant someone at home missed out on dinner for the night. all in all the customer service was terrible. the server seemed to have attitude anytime we notified her that THEIR staff messed something up that WERE paying for, and never had the manager come by our table to apologize. the couple times the manager did come to the table to drop food off, she didn't seem to have a single care in the world about her restaurant and how they perceive the way she handled herself and her staff. the excuse of we're short staffed is all good and dandy AS LONG AS your customer service is good. management needs to do better because that was insane. read more

We went on a Wednesday night, and while the food was amazing, the service was better! The waiter Tristin was very good; he was attentive and made sure we always had everything we needed. He was very polite. The manager Ronnie came to the table a couple times to make sure we were happy and was extraordinarily welcoming and hospitable. He clearly managed his restaurant very well, as it was clean and was running efficiently, even with how busy the restaurant was that night. We couldn't recommend this CPK enough! read more

This place is okay, there are good days and there are bad days of service. We appreciate everyone working during this pandemic. Must go place. read more

So, it is very expensive! The pizzas are small, and around $16 each, so with Tea or Soda, you are looking at $40 for two people, which is way too expensive for what it is. We had a $10 off, which is the only reason we came here. We tried the Street Corn which was REALLY good. For two small Pizzas and a side of the corn is should have been about what we paid with the coupon....won't be in any hurry to come back, but not against it either..............TRY the corn! read more

I always love CPK. The few times that I have been to this location, I've always really enjoyed myself. The only "complaint" I have is actually a bonus: the internet sucks in here. A blessing in disguise, but it makes checking in really difficult. All the waitresses I've had have been absolutely lovely and very attentive. I'm in love with the spinach artichoke dip. read more

Only 6 customers total (2 per table) but server was so slow and had a dry personality. We say thanks when food is brought to the table and the server just walks away. She needs some improvement. read more

Coworkers and I came here for a nice casual business lunch the other day.. and I have to say that the experience here was way better than the experience we had at BJ's the week before.. The wait staff was very friendly and attentive and we were served in a timely manner. Most of us had some form of salad. I had my favorite, which is the miso salad, but instead of the shrimp it usually comes with.. I opted to try it with the grilled chicken breast.. It's just as good! I love that salad.. it's tastey and refreshing on a hot summer day.. I'm totally NOT a salad person.. but this salad I like! The lunch crowd was definitely lesser than most lunch crowds I've seen around here.. maybe that's why the service was so good.. read more

+1: I love their appetizers and their Thai crunch salad. No one does an Asian salad better, even the Asian places. It has the right mix of greens plus crunchy stuff. +1: service, they are for the most part, attentive, even when they're balancing a handful of tables, I really love it when we're lucky and get someone who's attentive, smiles often and nice. This happened on 2/4 occasions :) +1: availability, I'm happy that cpk is available in most shopping centers and I can always rely on them for a good salad -1: their pizza, when I first started eating at cpk, I was amazed at their creativity but with new places like pieology and other custom pizza, this place is lacking. read more

Wow just wow, my family and I love CPK. We have been to this location many times. On our time before last we came later in the evening with my husband, brother, and two kids. Our waiter was so sweet, he was young but was doing a good job. We could tell he had a rough day, he dropped our drinks and even forgot to put our order in. Instead of trying to pass the blame He was honest and took accountability. He didn't try to hide it and apologized for the mishap. Instead of getting mad we treated him with kindness. Everyone deserves to be treated like a human and sometimes we just need that one person who understands we all have bad days. Well RONNIE is a new manager at this location and he is by far the most amazing manager we have ever had the pleasure of dealing with in any restaurant. He always goes above and beyond to make us feel welcomed. Well tonight he did it again. My husband always orders Kung Poa spaghetti extra spicy. the chef, and Ronnie make sure to make the dish extra spicy. it's now become a challenge between the chef and my husband lol !! I love how we are treated like family when we are here. Ronnie thank you for just being you. Thank you, for taking the time to go above and beyond for our family you are awesome. You need a raise!!!!!! We need more people like you in the world! read more

I love CPK! It's one of my go to places to eat. They have really good salads and excellent pizza and sangrias. My favorite is the flight of sangrias read more

Can't get enough of CPK. So many menu choices, it's fairly easy to find something to please everyone. The kids menu is always a hit. Wishing they didn't discontinue my all-time fave, Thai linguine, wth? Kung Pao Spaghetti is an OK alternative, but definitely not the same. Why take away such an awesome dish from your menu? Love the desserts, especially since they feature haagen-dazs ice cream, yummm. read more

We went this past Monday (4/28) because it was my daughter's birthday. We had a friendly waitress and overall, the food was good. I'm giving 4 out of 5 stars because of the chicken tequila Fettucine. Sauce tasted good, the pasta was cooked well but where was the chicken? It certainly could've used more for the price. read more

Did a large catering order for a company lunch. Food was good and the provided well enough for seconds. We use them atleast 2x a week. You will not be disappointed. * I also came in with my husband for a date night, late on a Friday in March - we don't get many. The service was great! I wish I could remember her name, and the bartender had quite a personality (in a good way). We had ordered apps, drinks and sandwiches. This is one of the best chains in the area. I recommend it. read more

The pasta wasnt the best, but everything else turned out great. We will be back. The cocktails weren't to strong, but did the trick and tasted really good read more

CPK is usually one of my favorite chains but today they disappointed greatly. I ordered online and wait was 30 min and when I went to pick up I had to wait another hour. This was unacceptable. They should have offered something. read more

Great place to stop at with family and friends plenty of options on the menu with food and drinks and friendly staff

The customer service is great. The menu has a lot of choices. I ordered tortilla soup and a pepperoni pizza. The soup was awesome! The pizza was not the best I've had, but good none the less. I also had a chip and guacamole appetizer which was great. This may sound weird but I felt everything but the pizza was awesome! The location near the mall can be overwhelming trying to find a parking spot. Normally I head for the parking structure then take the elevator down, then walk across the street. read more

I ordered takeout and the portion was a lot less than I paid for. It barely filled half of the container it was put in, not to mention there was barely any pasta and it was a pasta dish. The dish itself also didn't look as appetizing as it did in the picture I saw in the menu. read more

I, had one bad experience at this location and gave it a very poor review. However my recent visits to this location had been very positive, Maria had served us in the past, excellent service and each and every time coffee was brewed fresh! Today the same experience with my server Cathy! Excellent service , great food and hot, hot coffee. read more

Came in here around 3 on Saturday before seeing Adam Sandler. Michael was our server, very nice, on top of all of our request, and a great server. I had my wife try the Buffalo Cauliflower and the Sangria Flight for the first time and she loved them both. We both highly recommend them. The manager, Amy, even checked in on us to make sure we were doing well. Thanks for starting our night off great! read more

Skip it! There was a hair in my food :( Waitress was inattentive and a little rude, never checked on us and I literally had to wave my arms to get her to come to the table to tell her about the hair in my food! CPK usually has great food but this was the exception, the manager however was apologetic and said he will work on improvement. read more

Had dinner with the family last night. The place was only half full yet everything was very slow. Our waitress was terrible. The place is rather dirty as you can see the dust bunnies growing on the pictures on the wall. read more

Okay...I consider myself pretty much an expert when it comes to good pizza considering I come from the Pizza Capitol of the world NJ/NY area...I have seen 4 and five star reviews and wonder if ANY of these people even KNOW what a good pizza is. I ordered this via food delivery and granted, I will admit that I didn't expect my pizza to be piping hot...but, not even WARM?!?!? It was COLD. Just plain COLD. Pizza crust, especially super thin pizza crust is good when it has a cracker crunch. This was so chewy, my jaw hurts from trying to chew it. I swear both pizzas looked as though they were cooked, refrigerated and then cooked again. I got the "wild" mushroom (false advertising much?) and there was NOTHING wild about the mushrooms on this pizza. When I think of wild mushrooms I think of boletes, Chanterelles, or matsutaki. I admit that I knew what kind of mushrooms they were before I ordered but you cannot call it a "wild" mushroom pizza when the mushrooms come from the nearest grocery store. But I love mushrooms so I gave the name 'wild" a free pass. I bought a pepperoni pizza, the mushroom and a sandwich for my daughter and the bill came to 65.00!!!!!!!!!!! For flavor, I had to add some poi ploy chili sauce and cilantro to my "wild" mushroom pizza. The pepperoni pizza was pitiful as well. Just plain pitiful. I don't think there was even 13.00 worth of anything having to do with this pizza. I am rarely if ever displeased with the quality of a meal at any restaurant, but these pizzas were so below par I am shocked that ANYONE would give this chain 2 stars...much less a 4 or 5 star. I have been wanting to try this place for three years now and I couldn't be more disappointed. I am thoroughly disgusted at the 65.00 I paid for the convenience of delivery. NEVER AGAIN. Sorry CPK...your delivered pizza did not deliver at all. You should take yourself right off the delivery menu. Blech. read more

The new pear/gorgonzola pizza is amazing! HOWEVER, at the take-out counter, they recommend consuming a high-octane alcoholic beverage in the 5 mins it takes to get your order (and then hop in your car and drive off). Not impressed. read more

First time visitors to this location. Great food, the manager brought us a flatbread appetizer on the house called Bianco. It tasted great. I could not place the herb so my husband and I guessed Sage before seeing the menu. I asked my server what the herb was and she said Basil. After looking at the menu it was Sage so she didn't know the menu. She also forgot to bring our crushed pepper flakes and w had to get it ourselves. She seemed new. Great service otherwise and the manager was cool. read more

My wife is nuts for the Thai Spring Rolls with the peanut dipping sauce. Last weekend she ordered them and I had the full size Calif. Cobb salad. Scrumptious! Lots of chicken, lettuce, ranch dressing and a nice compliment of diced tomatoes, chopped boiled egg, bleu cheese and the best part, applewood bacon!! I also had a cup of the baked potato soup and it was good, you could taste the cheese and it was garnished nice with some sliced scallion and crumbled bacon. My salad was so big I had to take some home. My only complaint was there were some bratty kid next to us and the parents did nothing to stop him from annoying people at several tables, but the food and service were real good. Plus, I always like it when a restaurant manager is working the dining room, checking on your meal, taking care of the check, etc. The place was busy, yet everything seemed to run smoothly. read more

CPK has improved their menu. Pizza dough is light and crispy, and pizza choices are excellent! Chicken and roasted garlic pizza was so yummy! Cobb salad was a nice side dish-bacon was crispy and rounded out the flavors. The butter cake was delish!! We asked for a drizzle of chocolate syrup on top and they kindly obliged. Maria, our server, was awesome! Will be back again! read more
