California Pizza Kitchen

I've been to a lot of CPK's and have always had good experiences here. Like any other restaurants at the Riverside plaza it gets packed around lunchtime during the week and parking is always a nightmare. You can usually get seated pretty quickly and the pizzas come out fast and have always been good.

SHOUTOUT TO AVA! She's fantastic and never made us feel rushed. I really appreciated the level of customer service at this location and the excellent interactions with EVERYONE! I notice these things, especially at busy restaurants, and it makes a difference when everyone feels right at home. All customers seemed happy, I know I was! We experienced a light wait time upon arrival, nothing too crazy. I was happy to see that there's both indoor and outdoor dining available. This CPK is pretty sizable, it's medium in scale compared to some other locations. I spotted a few TVs for sports enthusiasts and a tidy bar. My Dad noticed they were understaffed and the manager jumped in to support his staff without micromanaging them! How refreshing! Overall, the food was AMAZING! My recommendations are The Sicilian & The Pepperoni & Mushroom Pizza. The meats are high-quality and simply delectable. Top your meal off with a Belgian Chocolate Cake with Vanilla Ice Cream and you'll be in eternal bliss haha.

We had a party of 10 celebrating a birthday!!Food was amazing, we had pizzas, pastas, drinks.Our server was friendly.

I love their pastas here. I got the fettuccine chicken tequila lime. My husband got the spicy pasta don't remember the name. The oil with bread delicious.

California Pizza Kitchen at Riverside Plaza is a solid choice in this busy shopping and dining area close to the 91, which also features a theatre and lots of other dining options.After a fun day at the pool, we were in the mood for pizza, and California Pizza Kitchen is always a reliable spot for a laid-back Sunday afternoon. It can get pretty busy, so either make a reservation or be prepared to wait. We had a 20-minute wait, which we used to explore the plaza.The atmosphere is welcoming and casual, though the service can be hit or miss, as the staff sometimes seems stretched thin. We ordered three pizzas: the Wild Mushroom (shaved Cremini mushrooms, extra virgin olive oil, fresh garlic, with Romano & Mozzarella, slivered scallions, and cracked black pepper) on a gluten-free cauliflower crust; the Mushroom Pepperoni Sausage (Cremini mushrooms, rustic pepperoni, spicy Italian sausage, fresh basil, Mozzarella, and wild Greek oregano); and the Sicilian (spicy marinara, Italian sausage, Capicola ham, pepperoni, Mozzarella, shaved Parmesan, fresh basil, and wild Greek oregano) on crispy thin crust.All the pizzas were flavorful and well-balanced, with the thin crusts providing a nice crunch. If you're in the mood for a casual night out and don't mind dining at a chain, California Pizza Kitchen is a reliable, tasty option. However, the service takes off a star.

CPK was fine as it was good for the price with their lunch combo for a pizza and a salad. The service was good and attentive for our party and the interior was well kept. I think that for a lunch during work hours, it was a nice breath of air throughout the work day. Definitely will come back if craving CPK for lunch again

Always a great experience at this location. Wonderful service throughout the whole restaurant, clean interior and some original twists on pizza. Along with the entrees, fresh salad and appetizer options the complimentary bread is like a warm embrace while you wait for your order. The warm butter cake is an indulgent mound of goodness. If you get the ice cream you may want to ask for it on the side.. unless you don't mind ice cream soup. If it's a pjs at home kinda night there's a side door for take out orders. On the south side where Panera is along with a designated parking area. A nice restaurant with indoor or patio seating.We had the spicy chipotle and wild mushroom pizza. Both very good but better if you ask for some lime crema sauce on the side. Costco has discounted gift cards if you want to save some pesos.

California Pizza Kitchen has been around for years and it's seems okay compared to the competition around them. I usually get their pizzas and they're really solid.I came in with my family and ordered an appetizer of chips and spinach/artichoke dip. The order took a while and ended up coming after all our entrees came out and we had to ask again about it.The food was okay and the server was very nice.I recommend coming at lunch for the lunch duo which you can get an entree and a side of eithier soup or salad for $13.

This is really long overdue but my visit to CPK on my birthday was incredible! Service: we got serve by this older man (I totally forgot his name) and he was AMAZING by the way! He was understanding, accommodating and recommended us a lot of good stuff! We got elotes, chicken wings, spinach lemonade pasta?, and a combo of pizza and salad. Elotes dish 4/5: incredible, it was flavorful and the corn was very well season, I just wish it was a little bigger portion Chicken wings 3/5: good but it was a little overwhelming and tastes somewhat bitter? Spinach lemonade pasta 5/5: im not really sure what this dish is called because I totally forgot the name but ITS SO GOOD! It has a good amount of citrus and salt. The portion was really big as well. Combo pizza and salad 4/5: pretty good combo for the price! I didn't like the salad tho it was a little odd

I am surprised this place doesn't have more stars, I personally felt like that food was yummy, I ordered a pizza with mushrooms and it was so good the mushrooms were big, huge pepperoni, and just the right amount of sauce. My mom ordered a lemon chicken pasta, I will say it was a bit oily and I suggest only eating on special occasions bc of the calories you feel. The service was great, the girl in the front (I think her name was Diana) even opened the door when we came in, I felt very welcomed, the ambiance was ok, menus were scribbled on from children before but I didn't mind. The presentation on the pasta looks a bit questionable but I promise it was good
