Reviews for California Pizza Kitchen in Austin, TX
On 09-13-22 @ 6 to 7 pm we went in to dine in and try this place for the first time. We had a Milano pizza 6 slices and it was a... horrible. The server took a long time to bring it to the table. The pizza was completely cold and looked like the pizza was old.I wish I would've taken a picture to post it but unfortunately I forgot to do so. We paid for the pizza and left 4 slices in thetray. They can stay with the rest either way it was going straight to the trash. Definitely not th going back. Read more
My boyfriend and I stopped in because it was storming outside so we figured we'd get some food and he wanted a beer. They didn't... have any of the beers that he requested (all on the menu) and everything on the menu was so expensive we felt like we'd getbetter value from somewhere else. We left after two glasses of water. Server was nice though. Read more
WARNING ?? Is this place delusional, prejudice, or senseless & rude? In all my decades, I've rarely been places that leave you... standing around without acknowledgement.. until 2022. Ppl get snooty, rude, make u feel like they'll spit in your food, BUT Theyacknowledge you walked in. I stood for 5min in a new environment confused what I was supposed to do. The waiter/host neveracknowledged I walked in so I didn't know where to go, or if I should seat myself, so I walked to the EMPTY bar (3 ppl walk'naround). The waiter continued helping the 3 couples seated, making coffee, went in the back & disappeared. (Bar area ignited metoo) 2min later a girl came out with ice, talked laughed & then asked if I've been helped. I said THANK YOU FOR ACKNOWLEDGINGME. She dumped her ice,. Then went & told someone to come out to help me.. IT WAS THE WAITER! Dag, Really.. I played coy, thenasked (WT?) "Can you tell me why you Roamed around me, never spoke, etc etc" His answer - I was helping others (Of Course I lethim know the power of multitasking) His Answer - I don't normally work the bar (You're the 1st to see me walk in out of the 5ppl work'n here, why didn't you offer assistance. U had every opportunity). The Top of his body now laying across the bar,bored, & gives me a look of disdain, yeah, sorry 'bout that. ???? NO YOU'RE NOT ..and though they all were standing aroundwatching this ALL take place. No one bothered.. to do ANY thing to fix their raunchy behavior. I'm blocked from • placing alower star • say'n what I really think I walked around the corner, immediately acknowledged, questions answered (& found whatI wanted) they kindly heated the delicious knots & I went to work where this restaurant will learn from their corny mistakes.

The pizza is good. We ordered buffalo chicken spicy milano, which is more than enough for two meals. Service is good and... relaxed. Bathroom was not very clean. Read more
Visit the restaurant on off peak hour, but there is only one server. Tables are not cleared after guests left. Ambience looked... messy and seems understaffing. Nevertheless, the food is delish and served warm. But the service rendered can be improved and bemore attentive. Read more
Wonderful lunch specials, food was amazing and Chris, our waiter, was the best! Thank you so much for a great experience!
Visited this place after driving almost 30miles from where we live. The sampler bread was good and when we asked for some extra... bread the waiter didn’t mention it would be extra charge and we realized it only after we got the check, Ordered theirsignature lettuce wraps, quantity was less but made to perfection, loved it. Ordered chicken dumplings and they weren’t evenworth the price. Dumplings were overpriced and the chicken inside smelled raw, wouldn’t give it another try. First time visitdidn’t turn out good, wished we had visited a local restaurant instead. Read more
We visited California Pizza Kitchen at about 11:45 am today. There were only about five other diners. The service was prompt.... The large Spicy Chipotle turned out just right. There was enough to take part of it home. We were pleased. Sad to see morepeople were not dining there. Read more
