Reviews for California Pizza Kitchen in Phoenix, AZ
It had been a decade since I went to CPK. When I walked in on a Thursday evening, it was pretty slow. So I was surprised that it... took a little while for our server to come take our drink orders. This location feels and looks old. When you combine that withthe average service, it doesn't make for the best dining experience. I got the mushroom pepperoni pizza. It was okay, nothingspecial. The part of the pizza with the toppings wasn't very firm and the crust was average. The reason I'm giving three starsis because their key-lime pie is one of the best I've had. Its delicious. I probably won't be coming back here voluntarily. Itseems like a good option for families with a lot of kids though. There is also a solid deal where you can take any pizza home totry (bake it yourself I think) for $8 if you purchase an entree. Read more
Service was great thanks to Branden he was very helpful and kept checking on us and that's a plus!! The food was fresh and... delicious, we enjoyed our dinner. Read more
The pizza is ok, nothing to rave about, there are much better pizza options around the valley. Was here on a Friday night, got... seated right away the restaurant was not even halfway full. Service was not good, we sat at a table near the bar with a wallseparating the table from the bar. Our waiter never came around to our table, electing to talk to us and serve us over the wall.He never checked on us to refill drinks, or see if we needed anything. Overall food was fine for a quick option while shopping,but it would never be in my top preferred locations to grab a meal. Read more
Is located in the Deset Ridge Mall, but a short walk from the parking lot. Their Cobb Salad was fresh and very good. It came... with grilled chicken and the full size was big enough to take left-overs home. The pizzas looked very good as well, niceatmosphere with air-conditioning which is great when it is 100+ degrees out. Read more
Food is good, but service could be better. Food came out from the kitchen fast, but our server didn’t even bother to check on... us and didn’t even re-fill our drinks. Will order take-out instead next time. Read more
The food was amazing! You can customize it pretty much any way you want it. My Vegetarian friend was able to have so many more... options here. My kid ate the spaghetti with no complaints. He normally only eats hamburgers when we eat out so getting him totry something new was amazing all on its own. My friend had the mushroom pizza with truffle oil. I tried it and it was amazing.The food was so yummy here. The service was good. The atmosphere was calm and nice. I give this place 5 stars. Read more
Very clean, friendly wait staff and good food!! The macaroni dish on the kids menu was way too big for our 3 year old daughter... but was really good. Hand tossed pizza crust was fantastic! Read more
I dine often at CPK, typically at the Biltmore location but while shopping at desert ridge my friend and I figured we’d stop... for dinner in the area as well. The food was amazing as always and came out very fast. Take into account we were the 3rd out of4 tables dining in at the time, I expected good service however we got the opposite. It started out well with the drinks butafter we got our food our server disappeared and by disappeared I mean stood in the very open kitchen not doing anything. I liketo consider myself very simple when it comes to dining at restaurants because I am a server myself so I often cut the serverssome slack especially when it’s obviously busy but tonight it was not busy at all at this location. Not checking in on yourtables after the food is served or refilling drinks when they’re clearly empty is just absolutely unacceptable and I won’tbe returning to this location. Read more
