I had the California Fields Salad which is a wonderful and savory blend of greens, fresh strawberries, watermelons, pistachios, feta and champagne dressing. I added an ordered of grilled shrimp and my dinner was amazing. There are no excuses to eat clean while going out. This place definitely has plenty of options. Our server also refilled our water glasses many times and was happy to do so and very accommodating. Definitely, on my "I can have cake" days, I will try their epic (according to everyone), Butter Cake which comes with some ice cream on top. Im told people just show up to this place to have coffee and cake, and that's pretty awesome. I also want to give thanks to their manager Peter Rose, for being very helpful in looking over their menu before deciding to stay for dinner. It was them or Red Robin. Nothing against Red Robin, but glad I made the choice to try this spot on. Definitely will come again!

I've only been here a few times, and all I've ordered has been their pizza. They do have a nice selection of pizza with various flavor profiles, but I think they are a bit overpriced. A few of my favorite pizzas here would be their Original BBQ Chicken, Pear + Gorgonzola and their Jamaican Jerk Chicken. The service wasn't that great either from what I can recall; they just seem to be going through the motions.

Went to CPK in Pembroke Pines Mall. It was Tuesday night there wasn't that many people. Second time being here! The service was excellent our waiter Frankie was very attentive. We ordered the avocado egg rolls of course as an appetizer they're amazing. Had a sangria to drink very refreshing!! For Entree, I ordered my one year old off the kids menu the grilled chicken with broccoli it was really good (I took a bite of course) he enjoyed it. My seven year old had their pepperoni pizza off the kids menu the portion is decent size for a kid. My husband had the meat lovers, he enjoyed it, it's definitely for meat lovers it was fully loaded. I had the wild mushroom pizza I absolutely love mushroom and this pizza was delicious. The mushroom was fresh the pizza was cooked to perfection. These pizzas are large portions we didn't have room for dessert. I was in the mood for pizza and since we were in the area decided to go back! Will be back more often!

The pear and gorgonzola thin crust pizza was excellent! Prepared with lots of thin slices of pears and gorgonzola cheese. It had a heap of salad on top, which I didn't expect to see. But it did go well together. My friend and I shared the pizza and the California Cobb salad, which was very good. Fortunately, we were able to walk off that big lunch walking around at the mall afterwards.

CPK has some pretty darn good and tasty food for a chain. I love their pizzas, and I am particularly partial to their Baja Fish Tacos as well. The service in this CPK was really good, I hate to say that I forgot the name of the server because he was attentive, efficient and did the right amount of up selling without being pushy. All in all a good experience and good food!

Was here about a year ago and nothing has changed unless you call less customers a change. The food is repulsive and the service is better and more efficient at Mc Donald's. Had a Caesar salad and the lettuce was brown and wilted, being known for their pizza you would think that would at least be good, nope tasted as though it was frozen and reheated from the day before. Our server looked like she was gang member and was completely unprofessional and walked as though she was at home in her bedroom slippers shuffling into her kitchen for her morning coffee rather then hustling in a restaurant. The manager made his appearance at the end of the meal and looked like he was going to doze off standing by the table, he also looked confused after seeing my uneaten salad and just stood there not knowing what to say to the point I was actually embarrassed for him. Would give it zero stars if I could, praying I don't get sick from what little I ate.

Try the avacado egg rolls and Jamaican jerk chicken pizza. Nice quiet place for a brunch with your lady friend! You get alot of bang for your buck. I would not recommend any of thier "small plates" just stick to the appetizers and pizza.

Got pizza delivered through prime takeout. Mushroom pizza, mac & cheese balls, and a chocolate cake to split. All of these things were absolutely abysmal. The pizza was cold, thin, and chewy. The mac & cheese balls were cold and dry, and the cake... I don't know how you mess up chocolate cake, but it was honest to god one of the worst I've had.

So, this is a chain restaurant....but, it's a stand out. The food is terrific, and the prices don't make me feel like I was taken advantage of. It's consistently good, and they have seasonal options and specials that keep bringing me back. They are always promoting a local charity, and support tons of fundraisers. Service, for me, has been off the chart. There's always a manager in sight, and the team seems to be happy. I'm there with my family twice a month. Some favorites: Pear and Gorgonzola Pizza, Four Cheese Ravioli, Thai Crunch Salad.

The 2 stars are for the water I finally got. Twelve waitstaff walking/standing around in an empty restaurant and we were seated next to the staff eating and drinking WATER. Our waitress was socializing at the bar. I finally nabbed another waitress and pleaded for a drink 10 minutes in. She also took our order and refreshed my drink. The waitress at the bar came and introduced herself finally and served the pizza. I wish I could find the waitress who did most of the work to tip her. Pizza was good. Management shouldn't sit patrons next to the staff hanging out and eating. Profanity, flirting and slapping towels. Nice kids, but I didn't need to hear it.

I came here with a friend to watch the game and get some pizza. It was pretty quiet and peaceful in there. We sat at the bar and there were less than a handful of people total there. The bartender took forever for every single task. I learned this after her bringing us the beer, so at that point I tried to make sure to get everything I would need from her so I wouldn't have to wait 20 minutes for a napkin. Even waiting on the food took a good 45 minutes after the waitress put the order in. The pizza was good and I was hoping it was because it took forever and a day to get. As further proof that it took forever my beer was straight warm when the pizza arrived. The place has its ups and its downs. The pizza was good , but if you are going there with the intent on leaving quick just DON'T. Really don't even kid yourself cause your in for the long haul.

I just cant give a Pizza Joint 5 stars. I will say that this is a great Pizza. Our Server, Brittany was a doll. The person I was with drinks a lot of diet Coke, up to 6 or 7 glasses and we told our server that she should bring them two at a time to save her the trouble. She was spot on every time the glass was near empty. Spinach dip was great and had more cheese than most I've tasted. Price was pretty good and service was great.

Ok pizza, nice restaurant, nothing to go crazy about. It's allot better to eat here than in the loud, obnoxious food court. I'll give them that much credit. Other than that, the pizza selection was mediocre and bland. Portions were just ok too.

No host/hostess at the entrance to seat us. The restaurant was empty. But it seems that the servers were too busy socializing with each other to notice our arrival . After waiting 5 minutes, a waitress sat us and gave us our menus. After that no one came to take our order. We waited for 15 minutes and then got up and left. I did notice that the servers were eating, (yes eating the food they are supposed to be selling) socializing, and "hanging out" rather than working. I feel sorry for the owner of this location because the employees are ruining the reputation of this restaurant. I left very disappointed because I love the food at CPK. I guess I have to find another location because this one is a waste of time.

For a chain restaurant in a mall they have a very good selection of dishes with really good quality ingredients and a good starter wine selection which I did not expect. Had their signature BBQ chicken pizza and a salad with gorgonzola and walnuts which was very good. Awesome lemonade and a decent red velvet cake ( not cheesecake factory or grande luxe quality) but still good!

Recently celebrated my daughters 9th birthday at California Pizza Kitchen after reading they did parties in a local magazine. I will say I was very skeptical at first. When we first called the manager was very nice and accommodating with the info. He asked what date we wanted to reserve and thats it! Didn't ask for money or to sign anything. I kept asking my husband to call and make sure we were all set and we were! The morning of the party we called the restaurant and asked how much time we had to come in and decorate. They said come in whenever you want! The party was perfect. The chef was extremely patient with all the kids. Our host and the manager were very accommodating. We did not feel rushed as the parties are done before the restaurant opens. We had a whole section to ourselves. The kids loved making their own pizza. Easiest and I all say easiest on the pocket party we have ever had. I will totally recommend having your next event here. My daughter and her friends had a wonderful day!

Laura Suris G.
Ok so this is my first time here. Service was great! Our server would refill our drinks every time we would finish them. We ordered two quesadilla plates from the small plate menu which was pretty tasty. It had 4 slices with a spicy dipping sauce. We ordered a Hawaiian pizza and to our surprise when it came out it was soooo small for the both of us. I am a petite girl and I was left hungry. It is 10 inches and as pricey as an extra large pizza from another pizza chain like Papa Johns or Dominoes. It would have been nice to have let us know that it was so small so that we would have ordered more. The pizza was tasty, but definitely not out of this world. Overall it was a nice experience.

Best choice at Pembroke Lakes Mall since it far exceeds the food court. The pizzas are always good and I've never had a problem with the service. Their avocado rolls are one of the best out there. I do feel disappointed that they've removed some of my favorite pizzas off the menu (shrimp scamp pizza). None of the ones I've tried since have reached the level of goodness.

This place has changed. It should now be called California Salad Kitchen. While the pizza is still there, they have taken most of them out of the menu. I ordered pepperoni, sausage and mushroom while my wife ordered pepperoni, You know, it just was not that good. What a shame! Cheesecake factory makes a better cheese pizza now. They also took out the hot fudge and caramel sundae out of the menu. The kids sundaes were crap. We looked around and it seemed as if the salads were pretty good. Maybe we'll go back for salads, but I'm not bothering to go there for pizza anymore. Why did they tweak the menu for the worst?

The food here is Ok, pizza is not one of my favorites. Best item I've tried so far is the thai chicken salad which is disappointing in a pizza place. The portions are small and a little over priced for the quality of the food. The service is not that good and I was provided dirty silverware. I asked for a additional plate 3x and finally gave up and asked the manager for it. The temperature in the restaurant was also warmer than I cared for. Not one of my favorites.

Hands down they have the best hummus in town. Pizza place with good hummus you ask? My response try it and you will see. Another shocker- they have the best salads EVER!! My personal fav-the barbeque chicken salad. Now for the pizzas-must haves are the mediterrain, tostada and the new mushroom pizza. New plus-you can put goat cheese on the pizzas now.

Fun place to eat while at the mall. Many families go here with young children even though they serve alcohol Anyhow for appetizers we had Chicken Dumplings: just regular dumplings... Lettuce Wraps: personally i didnt like the chicken, i normally eat only white meat, i felt as if it was fatty like chicken thighs Spinach Artichoke Dip: definitively my favorite, very cheesy and tasteful Pizzas Pesto Chicken (thin crust): excellent pizza, i absolutely loved it and would return just for this Five Cheese + Fresh Tomato: ehh... didnt like it very much

BBQ salad is very good and their pizzas are very enjoyable. I also always have the split pea and barley soup which is something I seldom find elsewhere and is a nice treat, My biggest complaint is that I always ask for the wheat crust and they never have it when I go. If the place is crowded, getting soda refills may take a while, but usually any server is willing to help you out if you need anything else at the table.

I met my cousin at the mall and we ate here because it was much cosier than the food court. We split a thin crust and the mushrooms was incredible.

Stopped by to have a pizza while walking through the mall at lunch time. Server was pleasant, and atmosphere wasnt bad. It does get busy at times during lunch. Tried the BLT pizza on the wheat dough. Great combination! The bacon and cheese was baked onto the wheat dough, and then it was topped with lettuce / mayo mixture and sliced tomatoes. Highly recommend the cheeseburger pizza as well. They dont have lunch specials, so keep that in mind if your looking for a budget $5-$6 /per person lunch.

Service, for me, has been off the chart. There's always a manager in sight, and the team seems to be happy. I'm there with my family twice a month. Some favorites: Pear and Gorgonzola Pizza, Four Cheese Ravioli, Thai Crunch Salad.

The 2 stars are for the water I finally got. Twelve waitstaff walking/standing around in an empty restaurant and we were seated next to the staff eating and drinking WATER. Our waitress was socializing at the bar. I finally nabbed another waitress and pleaded for a drink 10 minutes in. She also took our order and refreshed my drink. The waitress at the bar came and introduced herself finally and served the pizza. I wish I could find the waitress who did most of the work to tip her. Pizza was good. Management shouldn't sit patrons next to the staff hanging out and eating. Profanity, flirting and slapping towels. Nice kids, but I didn't need to hear it.

Pizza is a famous Italian dish savored around the world. The entire credit for the popularity of Pizza in the United States goes to the chain of pizzerias all over the country. While the base and the texture of Pizza remains same across the globe, it's the toppings that differs from country to country. In the United States, you will find the top pizzerias serving pizzas with the toppings of mainly beef, bacon, chicken, ham, and sausage for the non-vegetarians. Other than these famous meat options, Pizzas with veg toppings such as mushrooms, pepperonis, garlic, tomatoes, spinach, etc. are also famous in most restaurants in the United States.
Irrespective of your locality, you will find a variety of different restaurants in your cities offering pizzas of all different types. Pizza is hot favorite among people of all ages in the United States. A large size pizza is enough to feed a family of 3 or 4 at large. Pizza is also the most preferred food whenever a group of friends is hanging out together. Pizza gained popularity in the United States after the American soldiers stationed in Italy returned from World War II.
Over the years, different pizzerias in the United States have developed their own respective regional variations. Pizza gained popularity as the iconic dish in the United States in the second half of the 20th century. Whether you prefer thin or thick crust pizza, you can find a pizza of your preference at the best pizza restaurants in your city.

I had the California Fields Salad which is a wonderful and savory blend of greens, fresh strawberries, watermelons, pistachios, feta and champagne dressing. I added an ordered of grilled shrimp and my dinner was amazing. There are no excuses to eat clean while going out. This place definitely has plenty of options. Our server also refilled our water glasses many times and was happy to do so and very accommodating. Definitely, on my "I can have cake" days, I will try their epic (according to everyone), Butter Cake which comes with some ice cream on top. Im told people just show up to this place to have coffee and cake, and that's pretty awesome. I also want to give thanks to their manager Peter Rose, for being very helpful in looking over their menu before deciding to stay for dinner. It was them or Red Robin. Nothing against Red Robin, but glad I made the choice to try this spot on. Definitely will come again!

I've only been here a few times, and all I've ordered has been their pizza. They do have a nice selection of pizza with various flavor profiles, but I think they are a bit overpriced. A few of my favorite pizzas here would be their Original BBQ Chicken, Pear + Gorgonzola and their Jamaican Jerk Chicken. The service wasn't that great either from what I can recall; they just seem to be going through the motions.

Went to CPK in Pembroke Pines Mall. It was Tuesday night there wasn't that many people. Second time being here! The service was excellent our waiter Frankie was very attentive. We ordered the avocado egg rolls of course as an appetizer they're amazing. Had a sangria to drink very refreshing!! For Entree, I ordered my one year old off the kids menu the grilled chicken with broccoli it was really good (I took a bite of course) he enjoyed it. My seven year old had their pepperoni pizza off the kids menu the portion is decent size for a kid. My husband had the meat lovers, he enjoyed it, it's definitely for meat lovers it was fully loaded. I had the wild mushroom pizza I absolutely love mushroom and this pizza was delicious. The mushroom was fresh the pizza was cooked to perfection. These pizzas are large portions we didn't have room for dessert. I was in the mood for pizza and since we were in the area decided to go back! Will be back more often!

Great gluten free pizza, excellent service, very recommended. Is good to know that there are places that cares about gluten intolerance. I'll be back!
(5)Marcos P.
I love this place.. Prices can be a little to high and I was very upset when they removed the garlic shrimp pizza off the menu but I've never left unhappy just stuffed.
(3)Doron S.
Good food always enjoyed, service good and good prices , recommended to the all family
(5)Elizabeth P.
The pear and gorgonzola thin crust pizza was excellent! Prepared with lots of thin slices of pears and gorgonzola cheese. It had a heap of salad on top, which I didn't expect to see. But it did go well together. My friend and I shared the pizza and the California Cobb salad, which was very good. Fortunately, we were able to walk off that big lunch walking around at the mall afterwards.

CPK has some pretty darn good and tasty food for a chain. I love their pizzas, and I am particularly partial to their Baja Fish Tacos as well. The service in this CPK was really good, I hate to say that I forgot the name of the server because he was attentive, efficient and did the right amount of up selling without being pushy. All in all a good experience and good food!

Was here about a year ago and nothing has changed unless you call less customers a change. The food is repulsive and the service is better and more efficient at Mc Donald's. Had a Caesar salad and the lettuce was brown and wilted, being known for their pizza you would think that would at least be good, nope tasted as though it was frozen and reheated from the day before. Our server looked like she was gang member and was completely unprofessional and walked as though she was at home in her bedroom slippers shuffling into her kitchen for her morning coffee rather then hustling in a restaurant. The manager made his appearance at the end of the meal and looked like he was going to doze off standing by the table, he also looked confused after seeing my uneaten salad and just stood there not knowing what to say to the point I was actually embarrassed for him. Would give it zero stars if I could, praying I don't get sick from what little I ate.

Try the avacado egg rolls and Jamaican jerk chicken pizza. Nice quiet place for a brunch with your lady friend! You get alot of bang for your buck. I would not recommend any of thier "small plates" just stick to the appetizers and pizza.
(4)Chris R.
Got pizza delivered through prime takeout. Mushroom pizza, mac & cheese balls, and a chocolate cake to split. All of these things were absolutely abysmal. The pizza was cold, thin, and chewy. The mac & cheese balls were cold and dry, and the cake... I don't know how you mess up chocolate cake, but it was honest to god one of the worst I've had.

I came here with a friend to watch the game and get some pizza. It was pretty quiet and peaceful in there. We sat at the bar and there were less than a handful of people total there. The bartender took forever for every single task. I learned this after her bringing us the beer, so at that point I tried to make sure to get everything I would need from her so I wouldn't have to wait 20 minutes for a napkin. Even waiting on the food took a good 45 minutes after the waitress put the order in. The pizza was good and I was hoping it was because it took forever and a day to get. As further proof that it took forever my beer was straight warm when the pizza arrived. The place has its ups and its downs. The pizza was good , but if you are going there with the intent on leaving quick just DON'T. Really don't even kid yourself cause your in for the long haul.
(2)Rob K.
I just cant give a Pizza Joint 5 stars. I will say that this is a great Pizza. Our Server, Brittany was a doll. The person I was with drinks a lot of diet Coke, up to 6 or 7 glasses and we told our server that she should bring them two at a time to save her the trouble. She was spot on every time the glass was near empty. Spinach dip was great and had more cheese than most I've tasted. Price was pretty good and service was great.
(4)Cristina W.
Ok pizza, nice restaurant, nothing to go crazy about. It's allot better to eat here than in the loud, obnoxious food court. I'll give them that much credit. Other than that, the pizza selection was mediocre and bland. Portions were just ok too.
(3)Lisa M.
No host/hostess at the entrance to seat us. The restaurant was empty. But it seems that the servers were too busy socializing with each other to notice our arrival . After waiting 5 minutes, a waitress sat us and gave us our menus. After that no one came to take our order. We waited for 15 minutes and then got up and left. I did notice that the servers were eating, (yes eating the food they are supposed to be selling) socializing, and "hanging out" rather than working. I feel sorry for the owner of this location because the employees are ruining the reputation of this restaurant. I left very disappointed because I love the food at CPK. I guess I have to find another location because this one is a waste of time.
(1)Victor G.
Amazingly unimpressive pizza :( Maybe everything else is really good. On the other hand if you don't like the taste of pizza and prefer ingredient on bread this place is for you.
(3)Brenda P.
For a chain restaurant in a mall they have a very good selection of dishes with really good quality ingredients and a good starter wine selection which I did not expect. Had their signature BBQ chicken pizza and a salad with gorgonzola and walnuts which was very good. Awesome lemonade and a decent red velvet cake ( not cheesecake factory or grande luxe quality) but still good!
(4)Eileen J.
Recently celebrated my daughters 9th birthday at California Pizza Kitchen after reading they did parties in a local magazine. I will say I was very skeptical at first. When we first called the manager was very nice and accommodating with the info. He asked what date we wanted to reserve and thats it! Didn't ask for money or to sign anything. I kept asking my husband to call and make sure we were all set and we were! The morning of the party we called the restaurant and asked how much time we had to come in and decorate. They said come in whenever you want! The party was perfect. The chef was extremely patient with all the kids. Our host and the manager were very accommodating. We did not feel rushed as the parties are done before the restaurant opens. We had a whole section to ourselves. The kids loved making their own pizza. Easiest and I all say easiest on the pocket party we have ever had. I will totally recommend having your next event here. My daughter and her friends had a wonderful day!
(5)Laura Suris G.
Ok so this is my first time here. Service was great! Our server would refill our drinks every time we would finish them. We ordered two quesadilla plates from the small plate menu which was pretty tasty. It had 4 slices with a spicy dipping sauce. We ordered a Hawaiian pizza and to our surprise when it came out it was soooo small for the both of us. I am a petite girl and I was left hungry. It is 10 inches and as pricey as an extra large pizza from another pizza chain like Papa Johns or Dominoes. It would have been nice to have let us know that it was so small so that we would have ordered more. The pizza was tasty, but definitely not out of this world. Overall it was a nice experience.

This review is for the franchise in general; a personal pizza should never cost more than $10, period, regardless if the pizza is "gourmet" or not.
(1)Maite H.
Best choice at Pembroke Lakes Mall since it far exceeds the food court. The pizzas are always good and I've never had a problem with the service. Their avocado rolls are one of the best out there. I do feel disappointed that they've removed some of my favorite pizzas off the menu (shrimp scamp pizza). None of the ones I've tried since have reached the level of goodness.
(4)Mark E.
LOVE CPK! Great pizza, and good service. I really enjoy their sauces and dough.
(4)Jessie T.
This place has changed. It should now be called California Salad Kitchen. While the pizza is still there, they have taken most of them out of the menu. I ordered pepperoni, sausage and mushroom while my wife ordered pepperoni, You know, it just was not that good. What a shame! Cheesecake factory makes a better cheese pizza now. They also took out the hot fudge and caramel sundae out of the menu. The kids sundaes were crap. We looked around and it seemed as if the salads were pretty good. Maybe we'll go back for salads, but I'm not bothering to go there for pizza anymore. Why did they tweak the menu for the worst?
(2)Patricia N.
Went with my nephews on Friday and they both had a pizza each and I had the original Santa Fe chicken salad! It aw yummy as always and the service friendly, fast and great price.
(5)Krystle C.
Eating at this place gave me indigestion for two days (I eat a lot and never get indigestion)...I haven't slept well for the past two days. Just got better today on Friday. Avoid avoid avoid!
(1)Florian N.
This was a very good experience, they have wifi so I was able to do a working lunch and they prepared an Ãtem that is no longer on the menú. Very good service.
(5)Mira I.
The food here is Ok, pizza is not one of my favorites. Best item I've tried so far is the thai chicken salad which is disappointing in a pizza place. The portions are small and a little over priced for the quality of the food. The service is not that good and I was provided dirty silverware. I asked for a additional plate 3x and finally gave up and asked the manager for it. The temperature in the restaurant was also warmer than I cared for. Not one of my favorites.
(2)Monica C.
Hands down they have the best hummus in town. Pizza place with good hummus you ask? My response try it and you will see. Another shocker- they have the best salads EVER!! My personal fav-the barbeque chicken salad. Now for the pizzas-must haves are the mediterrain, tostada and the new mushroom pizza. New plus-you can put goat cheese on the pizzas now.
(4)Jasmine S.
Fun place to eat while at the mall. Many families go here with young children even though they serve alcohol Anyhow for appetizers we had Chicken Dumplings: just regular dumplings... Lettuce Wraps: personally i didnt like the chicken, i normally eat only white meat, i felt as if it was fatty like chicken thighs Spinach Artichoke Dip: definitively my favorite, very cheesy and tasteful Pizzas Pesto Chicken (thin crust): excellent pizza, i absolutely loved it and would return just for this Five Cheese + Fresh Tomato: ehh... didnt like it very much
(3)Ikam A.
We like coming here during the week for lunch. Even though it's in the mall, it doesn't get too crowded if you go at the right time. The pizza is great, and they have small plates if you want to sample lots of stuff. Something for everyone.
(4)Francisco F.
BBQ salad is very good and their pizzas are very enjoyable. I also always have the split pea and barley soup which is something I seldom find elsewhere and is a nice treat, My biggest complaint is that I always ask for the wheat crust and they never have it when I go. If the place is crowded, getting soda refills may take a while, but usually any server is willing to help you out if you need anything else at the table.
(4)Hung Yen S.
Great service, I had the most wonderful server at California Pizza Kitchen at Pines Mall. Food is a little more expensive, but I like it a lot
(4)Mary Ann C.
I met my cousin at the mall and we ate here because it was much cosier than the food court. We split a thin crust and the mushrooms was incredible. It had several types of fresh not canned mushrooms and cooked just right. My cousin liked her peperoni too. Best of all they deliver!!! I can't wait to order from work!
(5)Brian C.
Stopped by to have a pizza while walking through the mall at lunch time. Server was pleasant, and atmosphere wasnt bad. It does get busy at times during lunch. Tried the BLT pizza on the wheat dough. Great combination! The bacon and cheese was baked onto the wheat dough, and then it was topped with lettuce / mayo mixture and sliced tomatoes. Highly recommend the cheeseburger pizza as well. They dont have lunch specials, so keep that in mind if your looking for a budget $5-$6 /per person lunch.
(4)Marnie G.
CPK has some of the best pizza and salads too! Another thing I enjoy there is that you can also enjoy a refreshing cocktail! I don't love the seating. I feel like I'm in a Denny's but I haven't had anything but a pleasant experience there.
(4)Christina F.
I LOVE California Pizza Kitchen! I know...its super chain food, but love them. This location was great...the service was sooo nice and friendly, a lot of other diners seemed to be regulars which was kind of cool.

The menu has improved a bit. Thin crust Mexican pizza is really yummy. Service is okay and it's not an everyday place to go eat at.

I love the bar b que chicken salad. My wife loves the pizza and soup. Try the red velvet cake!!!!!! Parking is the only issue. Would go more often if they had better parking.

I also always have the split pea and barley soup which is something I seldom find elsewhere and is a nice treat, My biggest complaint is that I always ask for the wheat crust and they never have it when I go. If the place is crowded, getting soda refills may take a while, but usually any server is willing to help you out if you need anything else at the table.

Great service, I had the most wonderful server at California Pizza Kitchen at Pines Mall. Food is a little more expensive, but I like it a lot

The pear and gorgonzola thin crust pizza was excellent! Prepared with lots of thin slices of pears and gorgonzola cheese. It had a heap of salad on top, which I didn't expect to see. But it did go well together. My friend and I shared the pizza and the California Cobb salad, which was very good. Fortunately, we were able to walk off that big lunch walking around at the mall afterwards.

Was here about a year ago and nothing has changed unless you call less customers a change. The food is repulsive and the service is better and more efficient at Mc Donald's. Had a Caesar salad and the lettuce was brown and wilted, being known for their pizza you would think that would at least be good, nope tasted as though it was frozen and reheated from the day before. Our server looked like she was gang member and was completely unprofessional and walked as though she was at home in her bedroom slippers shuffling into her kitchen for her morning coffee rather then hustling in a restaurant. The manager made his appearance at the end of the meal and looked like he was going to doze off standing by the table, he also looked confused after seeing my uneaten salad and just stood there not knowing what to say to the point I was actually embarrassed for him. Would give it zero stars if I could, praying I don't get sick from what little I ate.

Try the avacado egg rolls and Jamaican jerk chicken pizza. Nice quiet place for a brunch with your lady friend! You get alot of bang for your buck. I would not recommend any of thier "small plates" just stick to the appetizers and pizza.

So, this is a chain restaurant....but, it's a stand out. The food is terrific, and the prices don't make me feel like I was taken advantage of. It's consistently good, and they have seasonal options and specials that keep bringing me back. They are always promoting a local charity, and support tons of fundraisers. Service, for me, has been off the chart. There's always a manager in sight, and the team seems to be happy. I'm there with my family twice a month. Some favorites: Pear and Gorgonzola Pizza, Four Cheese Ravioli, Thai Crunch Salad.

The 2 stars are for the water I finally got. Twelve waitstaff walking/standing around in an empty restaurant and we were seated next to the staff eating and drinking WATER. Our waitress was socializing at the bar. I finally nabbed another waitress and pleaded for a drink 10 minutes in. She also took our order and refreshed my drink. The waitress at the bar came and introduced herself finally and served the pizza. I wish I could find the waitress who did most of the work to tip her. Pizza was good. Management shouldn't sit patrons next to the staff hanging out and eating. Profanity, flirting and slapping towels. Nice kids, but I didn't need to hear it.
