California Pizza Kitchen

California Pizza Kitchen Restaurant Review:

We have not once been disappointed by CPK. The list of two dozen crispy-thin pizzas includes all the standards, but there are also inventive versions such as wild mushroom, mango tandoori chicken and B.L.T. --- complete with mayonnaise. Our favorites are the roasted garlic chicken, with its garlic-shallot butter, and the barbecued chicken, the most popular of the pizzas. You can also design your own. If you can tear yourself away from the pies --- we almost never can --- try one of the pastas. The crisp Chinese chicken salad is satisfying, too. Salad portions are large, so keep in mind that you can get a half order. Soups, appetizers, sandwiches made with good hearth-baked focaccia and filling desserts round out the menu.
