California Pizza Kitchen

We came here on a Friday night and we were very impressed with the service on such a busy night. We had put our name on the waitlist via the app, and it turned out to be a great idea. When we arrived, our wait time was less than 5 minutes.As soon as we were seated in a nice booth, it felt like maybe 30 seconds went by and we were pleasantly greeted by Gabriella. She took our drinks and appetizer order, then in almost the blink of an eye, she came back with the drinks, This was a nice start to our dining experience. When we ordered our food, I noticed Gabriella didn't even need to write down our orders. She committed our orders to memory, even with alterations made. It was very impressive. When we asked for a side of extra dressing or extra napkins, she promptly returned with them. One of the most impressive things was that she would bring us refills on our drinks without us having to ask. She just peeked over and probably saw the glasses were almost empty, then swung on by with a fresh, full glass.The food was very tasty. I think one of my favorites here is the Spinach Dip appetizer. It's incredible and the chips are perfect and salty. The wedge salad is also big enough for two. So very delicious. We will definitely return to this CPK in the near future. Having excellent service makes the dining experience so smooth. Plus it m makes the food taste just that much better!

Really unfortunate their service is so terrible...I won't be going back!Set up a school fundraiser on a Thursday night here so was excited to try it but was greeted with a rude host- told him we needed a table for 5 that includes a high chair, he sat us in the most annoying 4 seat square table close-ish to the bathroom (high traffic area) that's turned at maybe a 45 degree angle where only 2 seats were comfortable because one person is squished against the wall + one side needed to share space with the high chair (wtf?). We asked to move before even sitting down and the kid (host) was like "no, you can't move because of the high chair" (wtf?) Then it took 10 mins for a waiter to get to us to order, I know this because I was looking at my watch to make sure we can order happy hour drinks lol. Waiter takes our order, drops off our drinks and food then we never see him again until we wave him down when we were almost close to finishing our food with only 2 sets of utensils!! My husband had to eat with a knife. Food was better than I remembered but it was such a hassle to try to enjoy eating here that I'll probably decide against going back for a while or ever if I can help it.

Today, the restaurant is packed and they only have two servers doing their very best. They are over worked. The place is unstaffed.Cade is doing a great job! Not enough servers .

I really enjoy the pizzas served at California Pizza Kitchen. My favorite pizza is their Sicilian Pizza. I like the different types of meat on the pizza such as the sausage and pepperoni. The servers are friendly and attentive, which I like. The decor inside is nice as well. The only con is that the service and wait time can be slow at times. Overall, this is a great restaurant. Their unsweetened black tea is also good as well as the cucumber reviver. The bolognese here is also good

We've been coming here for years, and the CPK here has always been consistently good. My complaint last night is that we were only given 3 tiny morsels of bread for our dinner. Our order was for take out: 2 pizzas, a chopped salad, and a kids meal. We found our 3 dinkey pieces of bread when we got home.

Even at the new price of $9 (a 50% increase) this is still a decent HH Special. Wish they had a dark bet on tap because the Mexican lager is not great. Really enjoy their HH specials and service is always great!

We ordered one pasta, one salad and one pizza to share among three during lunch. Out of the three, I like the pasta the most. The store is not very busy. It is a good sit down place for friends gathering. Next time, I will try the happy hour menu.

The floor is super dirty and our server was great, but Miriam was busy. I wish you served more bread in one serving with butter. The pizza and spaghetti with salad was great, but the fettuccine with chicken was bland. Food = 3/5Service = 3/5 (Someone at my table was supper demanding at the end of our meal, and the server was kind enough to bring her what she wanted.). The server should have had more help and brought more bread. Ambiance =2/5The floor was supper messy with items of food all throughout the restaurant, and the bathrooms were discussing. There was a cook and a manager on break sitting in the perfect location to see the making, paper items, unserved plates and food left from a group of customers on a table, and the two were just sitting talking. They could have had the people working clean up the restaurant because it was slow!

They have definitely changed their recipe of their food. Their Thai crunch salad use to be delicious with big portions but now it's half the quantity. Also their pizza does not taste the same. Man n cheese was good. Drinks were the highlight of the night. If corporate is reading this review, compare their quality and presentation for some learnings.

I'm really disappointed with the service today. I came here to celebrate Valentine's Day and was excited to try their heart-shaped pizza. We ordered the "Sweetest Meal for Two" with BBQ chicken pizza, but when it arrived, it wasn't heart-shaped at all.When I asked the waiter, he said I had to request it. How were we supposed to know that? He never mentioned it when we ordered. That's on the staff, not us. To make it worse, he didn't offer to fix the mistake.This was my first visit, and it will be my last. Very poor customer service.
