Description

Rick Rosenfield and Larry Flax opened the first California Pizza Kitchen (CPK) on March 27, 1985 in Beverly Hills after wanting to give the public pizza with a twist. Rosenfield and Flax broke the mold by opening up a whole new pizza taste experience. They created the Original BBQ Chicken MorePizza, and pizza lovers were jolted out of the pepperoni-mode and thrown into BLT bliss, Thai Chicken euphoria and Jamaican Jerk nirvana. Not limiting their menu to just pizza, they created an innovative selection of pasta, salads, and to-die for-desserts.

  • Rating: 3.0 out of 5"by Michelle C. at Yelp User Review9/3/2012We eat here quite frequently with our kids. It's our place of choice for pizza...or at least it was. The menu has just changed, and a number of our favorites have disappeared. No BLT pizza. No goats cheese and roasted peppers pizza. No carne asada pizza. And a number of more dubious combinations have … Read full review
  • Rating: 3.0 out of 5"by Mitty C. at Yelp User Review7/3/2012Came here for a lunch meeting with a client. We chose this venue because we were told it'd be pretty empty on a weekday. (Which was very true.) Pretty much your standard CPK over here, except that it doesn't seem to be too busy usually. The pizzas are yummy. I would recommend the bbq chicken if … Read full review
  • Rating: 3.0 out of 5"by Bryant C. at Yelp User Review6/29/2012Fast service. Whenever I come here, I always get seated immediately. They removed a lot of the small plates (like fried artichoke hearts, which I loved). Their portion sizes are small compared to cheesecake factory. The food is a little overpriced, and the quality definitely does not match the price. I like the spinach and cheese dip at cheesecake factory better. Read full review
