    Food was decent and came out pretty quick. Pizza (not pictured) was okay. Didn't have much flavor though. The pasta and the salad were great though! The service was decent. Overall a good experience.

    The food is good and it comes out quick, especially because they were understaffed when we ate here. The took awhile to seat us too, but overall the restaurant was fast and good quality.

    I used to love CPK growing up so it has good memories/nostalgic. We went a few days ago for the happy hour menu which if not mistaken is half off drinks and apps until 6pm, and pizza is $9. Service is always pretty good, the server came around a few times to check on us, and food came out quickly. It's nice they still give out free bread before the apps/entrees come out. Tasty olive oil and basil/pesto type sauce with the bread. Ambiance is ok, it's dark in there, music isn't loud or barely heard. We sat a booth seat and cushions were fine, decent clean table space. We got the spicy buffalo cauliflower, the spicy buffalo chicken bites, and the bbq chicken pizza. I really liked the cauliflower wings, they were crunchy and enjoyed the kick from the buffalo sauce. Similarly with the chicken ones, similar flavors and spice level, cooked well, and I liked the onions as garnish. I'm subtracting a star as everything kept coming out with blue cheese which is gross for me, maybe they forgot to remove it when requested or they were unable to but that was a turn off. I always get worried with bbq sauce for pizza as sometimes it's too overpoweringly sweet but I enjoyed the sweetness, it wasn't that much and was a bit smoky. Good amount of red onions to enhance the flavor.

    We are not a tall family (though who doesn't want to believe they have long legs for their stature?...)  Thus, it was even more surprising when our knees kept bumping throughout our lunch at the Tysons CPK.  So, despite the gracious service or the lunch choices, which were fine, it was impossible to enjoy the meal when we kept banging into each other under the table.  This table is a booth situated at a far corner of the main room so perhaps they were trying to squeeze in one more banquet.  But, that was not a good idea as the abnormally narrow seating space was really uncomfortable.  I don't know now if we will ever return to this location, - one we used to frequent a lot years ago.  Just goes to show the many factors that can really make or break your experience at a restaurant.

    Thai Chicken Pizza and Thai Crunch Salad
    Carol D.

    Food (3/5:). In my younger years (aka) 25 years ago, CPK was the bomb. I came here a lot. I loved the Thai chicken pizza so much that I tried to recreate it at home. So, I was super excited to try both this and the Thai chicken salad together at lunch special. The price was good for a lunch combo. However, the food did not live up to my expectations. All the ingredients were there, but they seemed sloppy in their composition. It's hard to describe but it's almost like they didn't come together. The pizza was ok but seemed to lack cheese (and though at closer inspection I could see it..). The this crunch salad wanted to be good, but overall lacked flavor. It's like the CPK of my younger years was in black and white. Service (4/5): Zach was friendly and helpful. He just seemed really busy and overwhelmed. Ambience (2/5): I've been to this location probably 28 years ago and it just feels dated and old. And well, dirty. It's definitely it my first choice in Tyson's but my friend really liked it. At least we go to sit near a window though it overlooks the parking garage.

    Neapolitan Burrata
    Janine L.

    Haven't been to a California Pizza Kitchen in years but decided to go to try the one in Tysons! This location had a nice atmosphere. The waitress who served us was very friendly and recommended the Neapolitan Burrata pizza. It did not disappoint! The cheese was creamy and the basil and tomato sauce complimented each other. I also tried their Sicilian pizza and it had a nice kick to it. Overall, pretty decent pizza.

    Sicilian Thin Pizza
    Caitlin R.

    I've been to this location a couple times and was really in the mood for some pasta. The place itself was super busy and packed however we were able to grab a table quick! However our server was a bit odd because I watched her give multiple tables complimentary bread yet ours didn't. I had to ask her about it in order to receive some. We got the garlic alfredo pasta & the sicilian pizza. The sicilian pizza was really good but a bit heavy, I don't think I could eat more than 2 slices because of how meat forward it was. But the garlic alfredo pasta was the star! It was one of the best pastas I've ever had and tasted the exact same from last time I went. Overall super happy with everything!

    Baja salad and pepperoni pizza lunch duo
    Derick D.

    Came for lunch as I have not been here in a long time. Started with the new whiskey stone sour which was really good. Definitely recommend trying it. Bread and olive oil was brought out as a starter. Bread was perfectly soft inside with a crunchy exterior. Ordered two lunch duos. One was a 7" pepperoni pizza with a baja salad and the other a 7" margherita pizza with baja salad. Both pizzas were thin and great tasting but the crust was too big for such a small pizza. I would definitely recommend to them to make the crust smaller so the pizza seems larger. The salads were also great, had a nice cruch woth the tortilla strips. They have a bunch of shredded lettuce on bottom with some spinich leaves on top to cover it. Would prefer more dark leaves to the head of lettuce. Overall everything was good and our server Jocelyn did an amzing job being attentive no matter how busy it got.

    Came here for some lunch while shopping. It took a while for our server to show up at our table after being seated. I ordered the California Club pizza and my husband got a lunch combo with a salad and half sandwich. The pizza itself was okay, not really worth $20, but inflation has raised prices everywhere so eh. The salad and sandwich combo were better than the pizza. I think I was overall kind of meh with the whole experience because the server was so absent or at least it felt that way. My husband requested more bread and they never brought it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    We've been fans of Church Street Pizza for many years -- Friday night pizza is practically a ritual…read morein our house. The pizza is consistently delicious, and it's something we genuinely look forward to every week. My son's favorite is their bacon and pineapple pizza -- and I have to say, it's honestly a brilliant combo that's even better than a traditional Hawaiian. Tonight we ordered our usual through a delivery app. It was a long delivery time, but it's a popular spot and a Friday night, so that was completely expected. Unfortunately, the wrong pizzas arrived. We were disappointed (and very hungry!), so we ended up eating a couple of slices even though it wasn't a combo we would normally choose. I called Church Street Pizza to let them know what happened. While they couldn't resolve the issue directly through the app, they immediately offered to remake our order for pickup. When I mentioned we had eaten a few slices, they were gracious and kind about it. We brought back one of the pizzas, they gave us our correct order fresh, and even wrote us a note for a free pizza. On the ride home, my son and I were talking about how much we love this place -- not just for the food, but for how they treated us when they truly didn't have to. That kind of service says everything. Great local business that we're proud to support. Thank you, Church Street Pizza!

Surviving a move to a location in desperate need of signage, plus the pandemic, this jewel of Vienna survives. Unfortunately they don't sell individual slices anymore, it's just one size. On the plus side they have a great dining room and ample parking. Beverages are bottled coke products, gone is the fountain and booths. The pizza is New York thin crust excellent. Great undercarriage. Little grease draining off with pepperoni and sausage. The sausage is fairly salty though. It's hard to fall, it's a good place for pizza. The taste is not what I remembered, it's been a while since I've been here, but it's good pizza. One major change: Signage. Something outside that points the way, and a drink menu inside. If they are going to have a dining area, fill it out a little. Encourage people to eat instead of just takeout.

It was much appreciated. As for the food it was hit and miss. Our husbands had the short rib raviolis and-although it was flavorful, there was not enough meat inside the raviolis nor were there enough raviolis to justify the price tag. Since the sauce was extremely flavorful I forced my husband to share some of the skimpy sauce to dip my pizza crust on it. Luckily the guys had enough of the wonderful fried mozzarella and bread to not be grumpy. One tip that our whole party agreed on was that the sauce was better suited if it was paired with chunks of lobsters instead of of the stuffed short rib raviolis. I was happy with size of my thin crust pizza and it was way more than I could eat. However, I am not sure if I was actually ok with how the ingredients were divided jn the quarter a fourth of the pizza contained olives ,another fourth was the mushrooms, ,another fourth was the prosciutto and for the life of me I could not remember the fourth ingredient. I'm still ponedering whether I am a fan of this. My friend had the Marguerite pizza and she was extremely satisfied with it. As to the place itself, it's nothing fancy, it's just your typical pizza place in a strip mall. It's just ok. One thing I noticed about it is the dim lighting, but to be fair it's a normal complaint for most eating establishments. We all had to break out our IPhone flashlights to read the menu. I wish most eateries would have a dimmer switch by your table so that when you are ordering, there is sufficient lighting as you read the menu and when done can be adjusted to mood lighting. I noticed most of the upper forties and up patrons did the same thing as us when ordering.

We went on a Sunday night, so it was quiet and perfect for catching up with friends. But as mentioned, the service was just so-so. It wasn't completely awful, but it just was not great. Our server's demeanor was lukewarm to say the least. Server said no right away to our requests, until she asked the kitchen, who accommodated (ie GF option and side of squid ink pasta). Perhaps she could have said "let me check" before saying "no" right off the bat, before checking with the kitchen or manager! Just sayin'.... She also started killing flies with the zapper at the bar while there were customers at the restaurant. The bar had glasses and plates set up so it was a little discomforting. Where did the dead flies drop into??? And really, who wants to see that?? After dinner, she dropped off the little handheld payment thingie and never came back. Again, the food was excellent and I may return for that alone. But now I know what to expect (or rather, not expect) for service!
