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.

The place was packed, but we were lucky to get a booth right away. Our server was Jorge, who was great. My friend wanted to order the pesto pizza (which they no longer have), however Jorge provided … Read full review
  • Rating: 3.0 out of 5"by Courtney K. at Yelp User Review1/9/2013The CPK at Standford Shopping Mall is just your ordinary CPK. It's good but not somewhere where you would dine routinely. The salads at CPK are always good as are the pizzas. But their salads can be ridiculously loaded with calories so choose wisely (or not!). :-) The staff here was attentive and the … Read full review
  • Rating: 5.0 out of 5"by Sean H. at Yelp User Review1/4/2013This was my first time to the one at Stanford, I am quite a frequent flyer to CPK at Valley Fair!

The pizza came out quikly and perfectly cooked! I chose the … Read full review
