"Opening October 9 in the CoolSprings Galleria in Franklin, this California Pizza Kitchen marks the brand’s second Nashville-area location. It introduces new menu items—protein-packed power bowls, cauliflower-crusted pizzas, and craft cocktails—alongside the hand-tossed pizzas, pastas, and other dishes the large brand is known for. The location features indoor and outdoor seating and a standalone bar in the center of the mall, and showcases CPK’s updated California-inspired look with reclaimed elements (skateboard pieces flank a few walls), sustainable materials, and touches of Nashville throughout the space. Founded in 1985 in Beverly Hills, CPK is credited with popularizing innovative California-style pizza and now operates more than 250 restaurants in 13 countries and U.S. territories. Hours for the Franklin location are Sunday–Thursday 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Friday–Saturday 11 a.m. to 11 p.m." - Delia Jo Ramsey
