"There’s an unwritten LA law that says any growing local chain has to add a Marina Del Rey branch at some point, and Brentwood-based Pizzana is the latest to join the list. This sit-down space in the back of a shopping plaza is casual enough to drop in for pizza and wine after paddleboarding, but also moody enough for a low-stakes date night. The menu has a mix of antipasti, salads, and pasta, but your focus should be on the pizzas, which surprisingly are better the more complicated the toppings sound (like the vodka pie with smoked cheese, coppa, fresh oregano, and a drizzle of pesto)." - Garrett Snyder

I had a great experience at California Pizza Kitchen! While they’re known for their pizzas, I decided to try something different and ordered the Chicken Piccata—and I’m so glad I did. The dish was beautifully prepared, with tender, juicy chicken, a bright and tangy lemon-caper sauce, and perfectly cooked pasta. The flavors were well-balanced, and the portion was just right. The service was friendly and attentive, making the experience even better. The staff made sure everything was just right, and the atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming. Whether you’re in the mood for pizza, pasta, or something fresh and flavorful, CPK is always a solid choice. I’ll definitely be back to try more from their menu. Highly recommend for a casual yet quality dining experience!

Good for meals with families or friends at a convenient and spacious location. I just wouldn't come here for pizza. California Pizza Kitchen's Margherita Pizza was lacking. It felt like little to no effort was put into making it. The cheese dried very quickly despite being made fresh, and the crust was too chewy.

This was our first time at CPK and the pizza was so good that we ordered extras. The server made continuous rounds to make sure we didn't need anything. This is a great location to just walk around after a meal with ample parking as well.

The general area is very clean. The restaurant is clean and exactly like other CPKs except our order was correct the first time and it was nice and hot. Loved this location! We went to the Barnes and Noble first and came here for lunch. So lovely! Me and my fiancé witnessed some road rage in the parking structure so come calm!

I left a review 5 years ago, and i put a screenshot about that and i think that dining out should be a seamless and enjoyable experience. Starting a meal with appetizers creates pleasant anticipation for the main course. However, missing utensils can certainly disrupt that flow. Welcome bread is always appreciated, but we didn't receive it until we asked for it after the appetizers. We ordered our entrees, and it took around 45 minutes to receive them, and they were very cold, so I could not say if the food was good or not. Consistent quality is important to customers. I'm very disappointed.

I frequently visit this restaurant, but my experience on September 27 at 8pm was exceptionally disappointing. I ordered a pasta dish and a dessert for takeout, but when I arrived, I was informed by the young male employee at the takeout counter that there was a mix-up in the kitchen. He said my pasta order was made incorrect, so he had put in a request for a remake and told me it would take about 10 minutes. After waiting for a considerable amount of time, a lady came into the takeout area with her meal and mentioned to the employee that she had received the wrong order—clearly mine! The staff member looked confused for a moment, then acknowledged the mix-up he made and offered me the meal she had already taken home and opened if I didn’t want to wait. I was completely shocked that someone in the food business would even consider doing something like that. I politely declined and continued to wait for my remake. What was weird was that the lady who came in after me received her remake much faster than I did, and she was able to leave before I even got my food. Finally, after waiting for 25 minutes, my pasta was ready. The same worker handed it to me in a bag, and when I asked about my dessert, he shrugged and simply handed it to me without putting it in the bag. Then, I had to remind him about the ice cream that was supposed to come with the dessert. I also requested bread, napkins, and utensils over the phone when I placed my order. However, when I arrived at the restaurant and paid, the employee didn't provide them until I asked again. When I finally got home and opened my dessert, I discovered that it didn’t have the rainbow chips I had specifically requested. Overall, this experience was horrible. The takeout staff at the Marina del Rey location could greatly benefit from training in hygiene and customer service practices. I strongly recommend visiting the Manhattan Beach location instead, where the service is much better.

Just left the Marina Er and after being there all day I was starving so I placed an online order for the HALF BBQ SALAD only to walk away with nothing. I waited almost an hour for this simple dish and informed curb side that I was there twice. Well no one ever came out which is very disappointing and disgusting. Me or my family WILL NOT BE BACK shame on this location this is inexcusable especially for rubbish food. If you have plenty of time on your hands visit this location and they’ll def keep you waiting. And to top it off it happened to four of us 😡😤

When we sat in the bar area, dirty dishes were brought to our table. Ordered $40 worth of food. I asked for some basil they wanted to charge me for it. I asked for the manager he never showed up to our table. Go spend your money elsewhere!

I met a friend here recently for lunch. While we were disappointed that they didn't have the lunch specials on the weekends, we still enjoyed a good meal. I had a bowl of totrtla soup & the friend had a chopped BBQ chicken salad. The food was so good. Natalie, our server, was super pleasant & responsive. She was very upbeat & helpful. We will definitely be returning soon, as it was a great experience. :)

Came here for lunch. **BE AWARE**. There's been a lot of changes. No hot tea, no honey, only COFFEE! This location used to look really nice. They need to clean the light fixtures (see picture). It's meh..... We ordered lunch specials. We will see how the food is. Our server Miguel is nice. The best part of this time's visit was the service received. Top Notch!

This is the best CPK in town. You really won't find better. We often eat there, but sometimes either I or my husband picks it up to go. The place is always very clean and the service is wonderful. They have made a mistake or two on a to go order and they correct it right away. We love the manager that is there. He knows that if an error is made, it is on him, not us. He simply deals with it and is ever so kind about it. But the vast majority of the time, the to go order is exactly as ordered. We love all of their pizzas, we have been so many times that we have tried them all as well as their pastas and salads. Their Caesar salad and their Chinese Chopped salad are so great. They have a large selection of pizza and you can get gluten free if needed. Our favorites are the five cheese, the Thai pizza, the BBQ pizza and a pizza with sausage and mushrooms. They even have thin crust pizza which my husband loves. I like the thicker ones. The bread with butter or olive oil they give is made there I think and it is the best. I eat way too much of it. Their pastas are super tasty. All of them. I love them all and have had them all. Again, we have been going for years now. It is a pretty place in a great area. Have the best time.

Ordered the original BBQ chicken pizza and added pineapple and bacon, Garlic Cream fettuccine Alfredo, and spicy buffalo cauliflower. Service was great, got there around 12:30 Sunday, there was no wait for seating. Our server was very friendly. We had two under 2 and staff was very accommodating. Womens Restrooms were moderately clean, 2 stalls, and did have a larger stall that was wheelchair accessible and has a changing table. They offer gluten free options, soups, and salads.

Gross! This location is filthy. We ordered dinner and asked for a to go box for the pizza. There was a ROACH inside the box! I immediately notified the manager. He didn't seem surprised. He said, "they like to hide innocents the boxes!" Seriously!? I felt sick the whole day. Ugh!

Love this place but the Tostada salad wasn't as tasty as I thought it would be. I enjoyed the apps-Szechwan Chicken Dumplings & Avo Egg Rolls; My Chx Caesar salad is always awesome. I'll stick to the Carne Asada Pizza that I love...And just because I'm here I want to start a petition to BRING BACK THE ROSEMARY CHICKEN POTATO PIZZA please!!! My family and I would give up a limb or two just to have it back on the menu...js why take away the best pizza you ever made; never to return it! #HelpUs

Came here during lunch and the restaurant was busier than I imagined. The menu wasn't properly updated with the new menu items which I thought was a bit weird. I ordered one of the new pizzas that was shown online and it was kinda disappointing. As the tostada pizza was my absolute favorite I've been looking for something to replace it and nothings come close. This one was the new chorizo pizza and I honestly didn't like it much. It was way too much chorizo with not many other flavors as well as pieces of potatoes. I didn't feel that all the flavors matched each other and the chorizo was a bit overwhelming. We also got the chips and guacamole as appetizer and enjoyed that. The guac was fresh and had corn and jalapeños in it, both of which I really like. Service was alright, somewhat slow to check on the table. Overall alright pizza. I really wish they'd put back the tostada pizza as it was a great vegetarian option!!

Food was fine but service was not very good. The waitress had to cover many tables and had too much going on at one time. We had no water for over 10 minutes. Had asked a few times for it. Other drinks we ordered took a long time to arrive. They also didn't honor the $10 off $40 tax day promotion claiming that because a portion of our dinner was on happy hour, it couldn't be applied from the app rewards and we couldn't use the tax day coupon. However, it didn't say anywhere on the coupon that you couldn't use it towards items that were on happy hour.

This location is just like any other CPK location. Same menu, nothing noteworthy but nothing that'll make you run off and never return. A solid three star spot with basic American Cali fare. I'm a big fan of their lunch menu, which on my solo Mommy days I choose to indulge in every now and then. For about 12.99 you can get a personal size pizza, a salad, or soup. Not bad, especially with inflation these days! Their bread is always served about fifteen minutes later, drinks are almost always delayed and the servers are there to make money. Don't come with high expectations, just come to grab a booth, eat some carbs, and be. Cheers to consistency which CPK always seems to have, and those days where BBQ chicken pizzas are all your own to eat. haha Till next time Yelpers xx

February 2023: Sometimes, I simply crave California Pizza Kitchen in Marina del Rey, especially items on their lunch combo menu! Usually after I'm home from a flight and/or if I'm grocery shopping, as it's nearby! Pizza: Yum! I've always wanted a heart-shaped pizza, which I experienced for the first time this year, as it's available for only a limited time in February! Ah, it's the simple things!! The heart-shaped pizza is so pretty as well as tasty! I also enjoy the Wild Mushroom & the 5 Cheese & Tomato Veggie pizzas as well! The mini pizza & salad lunch combos are yummy! Buffalo Cauliflower: Love, delicious & bite-size! It's also a must! Full-on flavorful! Caesar Salad: My absolute favorite! I'm not sure what they do to make the Caesar Salad so different from the rest, but it always stands out, it's a must!! Customer Service: Friendly & attentive! Often quite busy of a place! Once, on a super busy evening, the hostess took my number, as I went shopping at Sephora, which is nearby & she called me when my table was available! (Thanks again!) Sangria Mini Trio: Flavorful! I love all three equally! Overall: Friendly service, lunch combos & limited time hear-shaped pizzas will keep me coming back for more! Plus, it's near where I grocery shop, love it!

I had lunch with a friend on a Saturday morning. There was no one on the patio so we sat there on a sunny and breezy day. The music was a little loud and my friend gets migraines. The staff member offered to turn it down without asking. Our server was quick to greet us and take our drink orders. Our drinks arrived quickly and then he took our orders: chicken caesar salad and avocado roll appetizer. both items were good. No problem with the order. Our server was attentive. Easy, breezy dining experience.

The service here was very disappointing. I had to ask five times for dressing, and it was clear they were understaffed. This place really needs to hire more wait staff. It was such an unpleasant experience to have the waiter continues to ignore our requests because she seemed overwhelmed! The food was fair at best! This place is not worth the wait!

Negative 100. Nasty place. I don't know how u can mess up cpk. All cpks in the valley are great and we expected the same food. But this location was so bad. Just bad. The bathroom floor is sticky. There was a dead fly in the window next to my seat. Yak. The service wasn't good either. They brought our food out without ever giving us forks. I mean.... we asked for hot tea and were told they don't have it!!! Tea bags!!!! They don't have any tea bags. Omg. Terribly disappointed since we came to celebrate a birthday. Don't come here!!!!

Stopped in for happy hour around 3pm in the afternoon. This place has a great happy hour, M-F from 3-6pm. Offer is $6 for a beer AND a pizza, 50% off cocktails, beer, wine or appetizers - bargain! Julio was very attentive and provided excellent service. We didn't try the pizza but they looked delicious and the pizza chef was working hard in front of us at the bar in front of the pizza oven. I tried the sangria flight - red Berry, sparkling mango and strawberry rose. I liked the seasonal sparkling mango the best. I can't wait to come back for pizza another day!!

We visited CPK in MDR twice this week! Surprised and delighted during our two visits! We were pleased during both visits and food were satisfying! My husband had the lunch duo with 7 inches pizza! Not only good value but delicious! My son had cauliflower crust pizza. He ate it all!! I was personally in love with their jambalaya linguine ! We will be back soon!!

Their thin crust pepperoni pizza and sangria flight were both great. Our server, Maricela, was professional, patient, and knowledgeable about the menu and specials.

This California Pizza Kitchen just gets better every time we go. We often eat in, but this time we did take away and were so pleased. The place itself is ever so clean and the staff is just wonderful. They have the best salads. We have had the Caesar salad and the chopped salad. They all are great and come with the best bread and some great olive oil. You can't go wrong with any of their pizzas. I love the Thai pizza and my husband like all the rest. I have never seen a place improve so much on every visit. We are now doing take away about once a week. Have a great time.

Meh. I had a "just OK" dinner experience here. I was dining alone, so I opted to sit at the bar assuming the service might be a little quicker. I was disappointed at how slow the service was. I got the BBQ Chicken Pizza that I remember loving in my younger years. I don't know if I've just gotten picky as I've aged or if the pizza went downhill, but it was just OK. I also got the Caesar salad because I saw a review that raved about it, but it was not good at all. The dressing wasn't very flavorful and the salad was just OK. Clearly my memories of CPK are way better than the reality today, at least at this location. I think I can check this off my list as a place I never need to return to. Everything was fine, but nothing was all that good.

CPK is there any hope for you ??? I don't frequent CPK that often and the two times I have been there I can honestly say it's not even worth writing about. But this last experience there I could not let it go without getting it out of my mind. I took my mom and daughter for lunch on a Monday ( labor day) around 1 pm and ya I thought it might be busy but to my surprise it wasn't, as we walked in I could see plenty of empty tables but yet when we checked in the hostess said 5-10 minute wait, I kept my mouth shut and decided to wait, and as we waited two more parties of 3 walked in and same thing 5-15 minute wait. Then another worker comes out, see's the empty tables and questions the hostess, she turns around and completely ignored him, he took matters into his own hands and started seating guest. Our waiter seemed attentive at first then things just went downhill hill, I asked him if he could change the channel on the tv to the dodger game that was about to start, he said sure but it was crickets after that so I asked the busboy and my god within 10 seconds the game was on, he even came back and gave me a thumbs up which I graciously thanked him. So as we are waiting and waiting oh wait and waiting for our food I noticed the other two parties that came in after us were getting their food brought out. I was like what the hell, one of the parties almost finished eating and at that point I was about to ask to speak to the manager when low and behold our food came, mind you we did not order special plates all three were from the lunch special menu as were the other two parties. As we try to enjoy our food mom mentioned how stale the pizza crust was, I took a bite of mine and same thing. I don't know if the waiter forgot about our food and it just sat in the kitchen or what. So now we are done and I'm fuming more and more because I know I am going to pay am arm and a leg for food and service that was completely unacceptable and plainly "SUCKED" so I did the unthinkable, I asked to speak to the manager, he comes to the table and I politely get up and ask if I could speak to him privately, if there is one thing I hate is causing a seen, we walked over by the restroom and I explained the whole thing from the minute we walked in and he was very apologetic and said he understood where I was coming from, I turns out it was his first day at this CPK, they had pulled him from Santa Monica restaurant to come to marina del Rey to get things in order, he specifically told me that they were completely under staffed and the kitchen was a disaster. I clearly told him that I have never complained to a manager but this experience had broken the camels back and that I would be writing a one star review on yelp, he said he didn't blame me( I gave two stars only because the manager was so understanding). Hector ( manager) comped our whole lunch and asked that we give him-some time to restructure this place and try it again. Thank you Hector for being on top of things and I wish you the best of luck. PS later I got a text asking how they did, oh ya I will definitely lay into that write up especially if corporate will see it, lol

Service was horrible. I waited 30 minutes for them to serve me water and then an additional 30 minutes for an appetizer. I typically enjoy coming here because the food is decent however it was one of the worse experiences I have had at a CPK location.

I ordered a pizza for pick up, Thursday 8/17/2023 being I was on my lunch and had to head back to the office. Once I got there, life happened ...and my appointment was cancelled which gave me time to sit down inside the restaurant and eat there. 10 minutes after eating and not bothering any waiters for service. Vincent came up to me and very rudely told me "you need to take your food to the patio and eat out there, this is not a take out area" as he is pointing out in the patio, with a very mean and aggressive attitude. When I saw my face just wanted to fall off is an understatement. This mad publicly humiliated me, because he said it loud enough everyone around me could hear. He proceeded to walk away. There was no please, no thank you, no manners or curtesy whatsoever. It's not what he said it's how he said it. That's not all ... wait there's more. (Not joking) When I was done eating (IN THE PATIO) I cleaned up my area and had my trash in my hand to toss it. He was serving the Family right behind me (In the patio area where "it's for take out customers" He again points outside to the trashcan on the sidewalk and tells me "trash can is out there " with a major attitude. Moral of the story of you want be treated like a second class citizen come here to be treated like a peasant.

I do not even believe how terrible the service was. Dismal at best. We were told there would be a wait for 2 in a half empty restaurant. We had to ask to be seated even after our long wait. It took forever for someone to greet us and take our order, not to mention how long it took to bring out our fountain drinks. We never saw our server again for refills then she forgot to put in our to go order. Two stars only because the food was good. We won't be coming back .

Food is always amazing a CPK! My favorites are the Carne Asada pizza and the Chicken Tequila pasta. Employees are very kind and they always have specials going on. I recommend. &their Sangrias are by far one of my favorites.

Today The Boy wanted to return, we had a very wonderful server ALEJANDRO, very attentive, just perfect, not too much not too little. The Dynamite Shrimp is pretty yummy and The Boy had his usual cheese pizza and reluctantly tried the Butter Cake, much to his sheer delight he liked it and wanted to commemorate the moment with his father who happens to enjoy the desert as well.

Same good food but the service is terrible. Been here several times over the last six months and the service continues to spiral down. Maybe they can't hire more people bc minimum wage is sky high? Either way I won't be back. Order out only.

It's always a five star experience here. From the pickup, inside dining or taking out. They are always professional, have up beat attitudes and great work ethic. The food is always hot and the pick up order is always right. The process is simple you call CPK number, place your order they read it back to you to ensure your order is correct and ask you what is the make and model of your car to be identified in the pick up area. When you arrive at CPK and park in one of the pick up stalls. You call the number at the front of the stall on the sign and let them know your here and what number stall your in . They can bring out your order and at that time take your payment be it cash or card. It's fast simple and hassle free every time. One of my go to spots for great food and excellent service

Wowza! I purchased the Thai Crunch Salad and it was impeccable . There were not one but two types of crunchy delicious cabbage. You got raw onions, you got cilantro, you got peanuts. What else could go possibly ask for?! Creamy dressing with a really nice acidic flavor. Really nice seating and very good service, everyone was just delightful! Safe to say I will be coming back.

I feel like I am in a Time Warp! I have eaten here many times over the years, but, I have no idea where they hired these lackluster, lack of service skills characters parading around as Managers and Servers. It took 30 minutes to get a glass of water, the Califirnia Club Pizza was horrible. I sent it back to get the horrible bolognese shown in the photo.. there was no salt and pepper shaker on my table. I had to get pepper from the next table. I ordered pasta, was not offered cheese... Should I go on? Shame on you CPK.. You can do Better!

After the Dodgers win at home you get a free 7'' pizza with purchase. That brought me in plus I had a gift card. My bro was leaving town so we decided to head to CPK prior to the flight because we craved a butter cake. But Alas they were out of it again. I guess its that dang popular but man its not the first time they've been out of it. PRO TIP: order dessert with your meal and put it on hold We had the Thai crunch chicken salad def good textural contrast nice peanut dressing chicken tasted good solid salad sad because they removed the Waldorf which I happened to really like. BBQ chicken pizza always solid kinda what they are known for the slightly sweet bbq sauce replacing the traditional red sauce, the red onion biting through the richness of the cheese and the chicken and doughy bread, cooked well enough it wasnt floppy and provided a nice chew. I got the Jambalya Linguini Fini which I had been trying to order the past couple times and finally got it and it did not disappoint. I loved the sauce that came on it spicy cajun Flavor that was hot but not burning. The noodles were cooked well and it was chock full of shrimp chicken and andouille sausage. Was a lot, had to take half home. We also go the lunch duos with the Catalina chicken (fried chicken sandwich) tomato bisque which my brother liked. The chicken was nice and crispy the bread had good aeration and the soup was nice and creamy The club sandwich had crispy bacon but the tortilla soup was the least favorite if everything slightly bland and mushy. Since they were out of butter cake we went against our better discretion and order a strawberry shortcake which I though was really sickly sweet. I draw the line at that fake strawberry sauce omit that and you have something. Fresh strawberries and creamy ice cream sugar cookies cant go wrong until you unnecessarily pour ounces of that disgusting sticky nasty strawberry sauce over the dessert. If you order the shortcake get that sauce on the side or not at all. Your pancreas with thank you. Service was slow and forgettable. First time sitting outside and looking around the patio theres lots of chipping paint and dangling wires.

The food is consistent at multiple locations however the service surely varies. Our server Ana made us feel like we were bugging her. I met up with my sis and niece. I saw exactly what time I walked in which was 7:02pm (due to the GPS I was using on my phone), They had ordered the spinach dip and chips as our appetizer BEFORE I arrived. It was brought to our table at 730pm. I think that's a long wait for dip, and it was no longer warm. And finally, after receiving our dip we were able to order. bleh. Let me just add, the appetizer is barely shareable for 2 people. I understand inflation, rising costs, etc however at least offer a large or small option. We wanted more but if we had to wait 30 minutes more and get it cold, it would not be worth it. The gem here was the female manager. She was awesome and so friendly. We were there on the last day to use the promotional coupons and she was so excited to open each one hoping we won big. The restaurant suffered severely in the last few years so I have empathy for the hiring managers etc. However, the empathy doesn't go too far because some how, some way at other CPK locations the service is far better.

This is one of those chain places that the public was sold on - those who didn't know or care what good pizza is but.... I've eaten a few times in another location years back. Ended up here by default. This food is slop, glorified as only a chain can do. The pizza is not pizza, but certainly edible. I'd rather get some fresh bread and eat whatever I want as an open sandwich after sticking it the microwave. Look, I get it. It's why we are a fast-food burger nation - still! But, this place has staff problems. The vibe is bad and the service is awful! And what's with those cheap - I mean super cheap - napkins that look and feel like the toilet paper they used to use in France? Again, service here stinks! Attitude is poor. BTW, this place was bustling. Get this: I was the only person in the restaurant eating pizza! I guess they've fooled the public into thinking that they are Olive Garden or another worse chain, not that that's a good thing...

I can't imagine a restaurant experience less enjoyable than this. Unless, say, it was located outdoors and there was an active locust swarm in the area. Or, if the employees were hurling insults and machetes at you while you were trying to eat. None of those things were in play here but, somehow, it was that bad. Something happened to this place. Wifey and I dined here before and, sure, it was never as good as CPK's Encino location, but it was still pretty darn good. Now? It's gone completely off the rails. It was a toss-up to label "the biggest problem" (given such jive food and service), but I'll go with the bad service. Super Bad, in fact - just not in the good way. There were these long periods of time that went by where we went unattended to/unnoticed and actually wondered, if we left, would anyone have cared? Like maybe we'd have been doing them a favor by bailing after the 1st beer. I know we'd have been doing ourselves one. We sit down at the stupid wobbly table. I expertly fashion my napkin into a crafty McGyver-like fix. It holds. Waitress comes by after what would be our first of many exasperating waits and takes our drink order, at which point I ask for another napkin. Eons go by, much later in the evening, the meals are at our table and still, despite asking, I don't have a napkin. I finally say 'uncle' and steal a place-setting from the bar and return to my seat. No apologies from our server. Prior to that - after our first round of beers and bread and oil were finished and all those plates, bowls, glasses and beer bottles are empty, sitting there all stacked up at the edge of the table, 3 different people came by but none of them offered to clear any of this stuff. Finally, a girl brings one of our meals and starts to walk away (about to become the 4th person to not clear the table) so we ask if she can please clear it. She grabs two empty glasses, contemplates for a second...then leaves. She doesn't come back. The empty plates, beer bottles and bowls are still there. She absolutely did not want to do this part of her job. HA! I could go on but I'm already as bored writing this as you are reading it. Just THINK of all the amazingly cool excuses there could be to have a restaurant operate so poorly; I don't know...COVID - or a series of once-a-month rogue waves hitting Marina del Rey - or an impending meteor strike - or a pack of angry honey badgers that have taken over the place....NO! You don't get to use any of these excuses, Mr. Manager... The only one you get to use is - you've run this place into the ground. (you can hear the crickets following deletion of my CPK App....or, are those locust?)

On a quick work trip and getting out late and found CPK which was perfect location to out hotel and had something for everyone. We got a few dishes to share and everything was wonderful. Aurora our waitress so extremely friendly and a balanced all the customers seamlessly. She suggested the avocado club egg rolls which were a great starter with the corn appetizers. For an entry we shared the pizza and chicken piccata pasta. The restaurant it self is smaller then other I have been to in the past. It is located in a small shopping center with clothing stores and coffee shops. There is plenty of parking and don't let the small location fool you. They were plenty busy. The food came out quick. The service was on time and pleasant. The only complain we had was the drinks didn't taste like there was any alcohol. Overall it was a good meal and perfect ending to a long day at work!

Sat down and noticed the table behind us still hadn't even cleaned. We waited 15 minutes before our waiter came. Drinks took forever and we got up to leave... only then did the waiter come. We haven't been offered water at all... other people were unhappy as well...

We place our order properly. And the waiter kept us waiting. By the time our food came, it was the wrong food order. Plus, they forgot the avocado when I already told them I wanted avocado. The ambiance changed so much over the years From 4 star to 3 star. Maybe it's the waiters not listening and not explaining to the customer about what they ordered, or perhaps it's the new Hires that are focused on money than rather time well spent customer service Connections. Quantity rather than quality I guess.

Came to visit the Prince at school and took him to dinner. He had no idea where to go. I drove around and came to the CPK. It was crowded, but we did not have to wait for a table. We already knew what we wanted. The usual CPK experience. Our server was great. We saw her at Sees Candies afterwards. The spot where CPK is located is nice. A bunch of high-end shops and a big Ralph's with not a lot of parking is what you will find here.

I'm so surprised by the low reviews because this restaurant has always been amazing! The food, the service, everything is great and we've been coming here a lot for many years since we literally live across the street. Thank you so much guys!

I took my friend to CPK for her birthday dinner. Lynda was our server. She said she had only been working at CPK for 3 weeks. Lynda gave exemplary customer service. The food was fantastic. I had a reward for a free dessert, which worked out for my friends birthday. Amazing customer service and delicious food. What more could you want?

Would come back for Jessica's service alone. Seriously, she was the best server I've ever had. The quality of her service was memorable and my family and I are still talkin about it. My family of 12 came in and we are quite the chaotic and needy bunch... but she literally grabbed everything fast af, no mistakes whatsoever. Not a single mistake was made and for my family to not find something to complain about, is seriously a miracle. The food, not the best tbh it was all dry and kinda weird tasting/flavorless but like oh well. Jessica needs to be serving high class idek but she was great. OH! Also the host with the blue/green hair (I'm so sorry I didn't get your name) you were fantastic and had such a great energy about you. I had a great experience in this restaurant today - amazing crew

Not happy with what has become to their staple Bbq chicken pizza. Paid extra to add extra everything only to see again the minimal bbq sauce min cilantro minimal onion situation, had a bit more chicken but the instructions said extra on all those items not just chicken. Overall super dry taste. Not gonna order from them. Maybe in person they make better pizzas but to go all dry. My husband ordered another type of pizza also tasted dry probably like the box .

The host literally tells everyone an arbitrary wait time. 45 minutes. 10 minutes. 1.5 hours. 20 minutes. 1 hour. All for the same party size. 70% of the restaurant was also empty and the wait was more than 45 minutes. The outside patio is cool, and very much appreciated. Ordered soups and asked for an extra spoon and was told "we don't have any more clean spoons....I'll just go wash one for you myself" by my waitress. While that's very nice of her...that's unacceptable as an establishment. Ordered the buffalo cauliflower appetizers. They were out. Ordered lettuce wraps. Out. Ordered Szechuan dumplings. Forgot to bring them entirely. Probably were out and they didn't have the heart to say it. Ordered a bbq chicken salad with added avocado. Maybe 1/4 of an avocado at best. Extra star because the pizzas (Thai and veggie), and tequila pasta were actually good. Although the pizzas came out 20 minutes after pasta and salad. This place needs to get it together or it won't survive. Many people left unhappy.

First time here in a long time. Mot promising so far. Server not attentive. I ordered Asian Chicken dumplings as an appetizer. Spicy but good and nicely presented. Was trying to find substitutes for the sides of potatoes that go with certain entrees. A small side of pasta maybe or rice or veggies. No such thing. On some they will sub salad. I had to look over the menu 3 times due to not being able to initially order what I wanted. He brought my appetizer and coffee and never came back. Its not packed in here. No coffee refill, nothing. I was going to get an entree, wine, and possibly dessert to go. But will probably ask for the check instead. I get why this place, with great tasting food, is rated an average of 3 stars. Service is way below average. For me, rating 3 stars is generous in this case. The manager Gilberto was made aware of the situation and offered to make it right. He comped me on a bbq pizza. He also was my server for the duration of my visit rather than the 1st server. I paid for everything except the pizza. I appreciate Gilberto's efforts to rectify the situation. He was sincere. I may be back someday when my friends who love CPK are in town. I'm not sure as a single diner that I'll come back alone. The competition with parties of 4 is not something I want to try again for awhile.

Food is mediocre, service is also not great. We went with a friend because they had a gift card, i don't think I will return. It does have extensive children's menu and they provide activity books for kids.
