Second time here and it most certainly won’t be the last! Charlotte is a fantastic waitress and we had the privilege of having her twice. This is the BEST pizza we have had in a long time. The appetizer we had was very flavorful and we wanted more. Charlotte was knowledgeable and answered any questions we had. They offer pieces of bread with dipping oil as a treat while you wait. So good! The food came out very quickly. Service was the same as a higher end restaurant! The host was very friendly and so were the rest of the staff. Highly recommend! We will be making this a regular stop

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Five-Star Experience! Charlotte, our waitress/bartender, gave us TOP-NOTCH service from start to finish! She was friendly, attentive, and made us feel truly welcome. The food was amazing, and the service overall was excellent. California Pizza Kitchen—you did a fantastic job! Highly recommended! 🍕👏

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Jose Negrette · Nov 2025

Sad to say, but CPK’s menu has gone downhill in terms of food flavor, quality, and prices. Case in point, their offering of a guacamole (to their credit, they call it something else) was super disappointing; it was basically corn with a few cubes of avocado. I had to take a picture. The staff was fine, and the atmosphere was the same as always, but they’ve definitely dropped the quality while raising prices.

★★★★★ 5.0 Claire Flores · Feb 2026

Had a large group; food server was excellent, patient, kind and attentive. Food was as expected, full of flavor and with abundant options.

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Nastasia B · May 2025

California Pizza Kitchen has a pleasant atmosphere and really wonderful service. The staff are always kind and helpful, which makes the dining experience feel welcoming. While the overall food is just okay, I have to say the Thai salad is definitely a standout—fresh, flavorful, and a go-to on the menu for me. It’s worth trying! The service and ambiance are what make this place worth visiting.
