I cannot believe this restaurant chain is so popular stateside. I've been about 5 times over the past few years, and I have to say that it is along the lines of UK's Frankie & Benny's (not very good at all).

My kids like the BBQ chicken pizza, BBQ chicken salad and I always go for the Thai Chicken pizza on thin crust. Sometimes I ask for extra sauce. The restaurant is fresh and open and good for families, couples, friends and people of all ages. The staff is friendly and attentive.

For those of us that do not eat pizza and refrain from eating dessert on regular basis, this restaurant does not have much to offer.

It is not just pizza that is good at the California Pizza Kitchen. However we had their salad and 2 pizzas and they tasted fantastic. Really good texture, fine ingredients. Staff was really friendly and professional.

I have been to 6 CPK's. All are consistently the same. Excellent selection of pizza. All taste excellent. I think this is one of the best value restaurants I have been to . AND the chocolate lava cake is the best I have had at any restaurant.

Our swim team (15 ppl) had a team dinner here, and CPK was very accommodating, putting all of us together. Service was quick and friendly, and they were great about doing separate checks for all who requested them.
