California Pizza Kitchen at Huntington Beach

Costco is selling California Pizza Kitchen (CPK) gift cards at a 20% discount, two $50 gift cards (total value $100) for just $79.99. We decided to use them for a friend’s birthday and checked out their weekday Happy Hour from 3–6 PM at Huntington Beach location. CPK is a well-known chain with solid dishes, and their BBQ Chicken Pizza is a signature item that combines tangy BBQ sauce with a classic pizza base. During Happy Hour, we ordered: • Spicy Buffalo Chicken – $8 • Dynamite Shrimp – $8 • 7” BBQ Chicken Pizza – $9 • 7” Pepperoni Pizza – $9 We also tried a couple of regular menu items: • Kung Pao Spaghetti – $21.99 This dish was super interesting — it’s Kung Pao Chicken but made with spaghetti, giving it a texture similar to stir-fried noodles. Pricey but tasty and creative. I might even try recreating it at home! • Mini Butter Cakes – $14.75 • Cucumber Reviver – $3.99 • Fresh Strawberry Mango Cooler – $3.99 The total used up both gift cards, and they even let us pay the tip with them. Service was excellent, the staff was attentive, and they offered freshly grated cheese after serving the dishes. The restaurant was also clean and had that polished feel you’d expect from a big chain. This Bella Terra Mall location has outdoor seating and a bar area, making it a relaxed spot whether you’re dining alone or with friends. As a sweet surprise, they offered the birthday guest a complimentary ice cream sundae (worth $4). It’s a great place for casual hangouts or celebrations. Definitely will be back. 📍7851 Edinger Ave, Huntington Beach, CA 92647

Very fast service. Pizzas came out very quickly. I don’t know how they make them so fast, but they are always super fresh when they arrive. The dining room is clean and well appointed. The staff were super friendly.

My wife, our toddler, and I recently had a fantastic dining experience at this California Pizza Kitchen, and I felt compelled to share just how great it was. First off, the food was excellent—as always. We’ve come to expect delicious, fresh dishes from CPK, and this visit didn’t disappoint. But what really made this outing stand out was the exceptional service we received from the entire team. From the moment we walked in, we were warmly welcomed and seated quickly. The staff went out of their way to make us feel comfortable, especially with a toddler in tow. They checked in on us regularly—not in a rushed or mechanical way, but with genuine care and attention.

The service is very excellent and the restaurant is very wonderful. I loved it. This is my first visit. The customer service is very high-class and we received wonderful attention from the beautiful employee .natalie

Lovely place. Ate dinner on the patio. We had to ask them to turn down the music. Painfully loud banging of dishes when tables were being cleared. Maybe the busboy was angry. 😉 Food & service were very good. But I won't eat there again because of the noise.

Make sure you download the CPK app and use it for each visit and collect reward points! We got to use our $10 reward and brought down the check and enjoyed our food with saving.

The Chicken Piccata was excellent. I love the lemon caper sauce! The Wedge is always a great appetizer.

I will not be dinning here Again! The Service was so bad, extremely slow and inattentive! We received unsanitized greasy menus. Our Server never came to check how the food came out, we were waiting on Cheese and Red Pepper for our Pizzas and by the time he came by our pizza was cold. We wanted more drinks and again he was too busy. We ended up getting our check from the Host. I spent over $90 for Bad Service and Cold Food. It was a Horrible Experience. I hope you find my review helpful and it prevents you from making the same mistake. Save your Money!
