What People Are Saying About California Pizza Kitchen

In Short
Founded in Beverly Hills in 1985, these eateries with the trademark yellow, black and white color scheme have spread nationwide. The decor consists of simple wood and glass with roomy black leather booths. The thin-crust pizzas come with innovative toppings from Asia, Latin America and the Southwest; signature pizzas like the Original BBQ Chicken and Jamaican Jerk Chicken compete with old standbys like pepperoni and traditional cheese. Pastas, salads, soups and sandwiches round out the menu.

The California Pizza Kitchen has a really varied menu from asian to just about any type of pizza you could think of. They have a wonderful lettuce wraps and a great blackened salmon with pan fried vegetables. I absolutely love the Spinach Artichoke dip, it is unbelievable, we always have to order 2 of these because it is absolutely sinful. You can get their menu on line, they deliver in a timely fashion.

I'd heard a lot about the "traditional" pizza places in Manhattan, (e.g. Lombardi's), but after trying them out, I got the feeling they are alive purely on reputation and hype. The pizzas were soggy, expensive, and there wasn't a helluva lot to choose from. Personally, I don't enjoy eating pizza with some tomato sauce and 2 toppings. I like variety and don't think pepperoni everyitme I think pizza. Hence, CPK is perfect! Everything I've eaten here has been refreshingly different, and also very easy on the palate. In particular their Japanese eggplant pizza with goat cheese is a winner. I stay away from the salad pizzas (whats the point?) but the regular sounding pizzas have never disappointed me. They also have Heineken on tap and thats definitely a big plus. And yea, do NOT be tempted by the pizza place right opposite this one because I've made that mistake before and CPK IS BETTER!
