I've been here a handful of times and each time I have never had to wait over 10 minutes, which I'm grateful for considering some people are complaining on their wait time. Each time I've came, I've ordered a pizza. My last visit was w/ a group of friends and I had a tomato basil and my boyfriend ordered something w/ spinach (can't recall exact name). Everything was great, server was attentive and also refilled our drinks every so often. He took notice that it was my birthday because my group of friends were chatting about it and came out w/ ice cream w/ a candle on top! Who can turn down free dessert?! Next time I'm here at fashion valley I'm making my way back here.

Well, it's not exactly a place where I would get fish taco's but I did. That was a mistake. The fish was way over cooked and it tasted like an old boot. I would not recommend for anyone to ever order them. Service was slow and the place was pretty dead. They were all standing in the back chatting. Well I will avoid this place from now on.

CPK is one of the best chain restaurants around. I think that their pizzas rival some upscale pizza eateries. My favorite is the pear and gorgonzola pizza. This location has a nice back patio with heat lamps (dogs welcome). I've always had great service here. And, of course, great prices too! Four stars though instead of five because their salads here don't seem to be as good as at other locations.

Even though this place is called California Pizza Kitchen, I was expecting the pizza to taste great. but it was just okay. So instead, I started ordering the Spicy Chicken Tinga Quesadilla for a small appetizer and the Chicken Tequila Fettuccine which tastes so fresh and delicious! And our waitress was super nice and just great. So for the Chicken Tequila Fettuccine, oh man. The chicken was delicious. It wasn't too dry or undercooked. The peppers gave a hint of spice and sweetness. They also give you a lime which you can squeeze into the pasta giving it a sour taste. Doesn't that sound delicious? Sweet, sour, and a bit of spiciness? And at most restaurants, they give you small, dried out limes that only drops one tiny drop. But this lime was full of juice and definitely squeezable. YUM!

I was having problems with my new iPhone & had made an appt with a tech and had to kill an hour. It was then that my wife remembered it Was National Margarita Day. That ment we needed to find a place with a full bar to kill that hour. A mall cop on a Segway said he thought CPK could make margaritas. We ordered the house margs with a guacamole appetizer. It was a good call. We had a great hour and then The Apple Store fixed my iPhone. A great day. Except for no WiFi.

My daughter, grandchildren & I eat here often while shopping at the mall. We've seldom had more than a 5-10 minute wait. The service is quick and the food is consistently tasty. Their salads are always fresh & tasty and they have a great kid's menu. Join their loyalty club for some nice perks.

THIS CPK DOES NOT DELIVER.... Tried placing an order on their website but delivery wasn't an option upon check out, no problem, I gave them a call. Called and selected option #1 to place a "DELIVERY order". Somebody picks up, very polite, I place my order; two pizzas, a side, and a dessert. She asks me if we'll be picking up curbside or at their To-Go counter.. I told her this is a delivery order. Then her attitude completely changes... totally rude she says "Oh, this is a DELIVERY order?? Hang on." I get put on hold and after a minute someone who sounds like their standing in the middle of a crowded room picks up and answers like I'm calling for the first time (like I wasn't on hold). I told her I had just placed a delivery order and they put me on hold and transferred me to her. Again, in a rude tone she says, "Okay, let me just walk ALL THE WAY BACK THERE and tell them to pick the phone up for you, hang on while I walk ALL THE WAY BACK THERE" haha uhhh, okay, not my fault they don't know how to work their phones... go ahead and take a walk, sister. A minute later I get another person answering the phone, again, sounding like they have no idea I've been on hold.. "Yeah I already placed my order for delivery and I keep getting tossed from person to person, I just need to complete my order...." I said. "Oh sorry about that, they should have told you we don't do delivery at this location... blah blah blah..." I'm not usually rude like this but I hung up on her. They obviously aren't considerate of your time so in my opinion they don't deserve your business.

Eating here right now. The wait wasn't bad. We got our table in about 2 minutes. Everything else on the other hand was horrible. Our waiter finally showed up after. He rushed in asked for our drinks and jetted before we could get a word in. When he came back with the drinks we ordered. Keep in mind we ordered a half salad and one appetizer. Our order took 30 minutes to come out. I figured the salad would look like it had to take sometime to make. It looked like a premade salad from the store. Our appetizer was completely cold. A table showed up behind us. He waited on them very quickly and even offered them bread while they waited. It wasn't until the latter end of our meal that he began to check in. I rarely eat here so it wasn't a big deal for me. But the service and food has room for improvement.

Favorite CPK in the county! The location is great! We always go next door to the nice movie theater after eating. Their Strawberry Tea is great if you don't want to fill up on pop. They're free bread and oil is awesome! Also, they appreciate VETERANS by giving them a free pizza on Veteran's Day!

I'm a pretty good fan of CPK even though it is a franchise. Not all franchises are bad, right? right. I get it- CPK is overpriced on most of their items on their menu but again- it is a franchise and they are typically located at a mall which is typically expensive. Anyway, I like it here because they have pretty good pizza and they're all unique. I really like their Mojitos because they are actually refreshing and it doesn't taste like straight up booze. And one more thing.. Their red velvet cake with ice cream is super yummy!.

Stopped in to have a quick lunch. While waiting for them to open, I browsed the menu outside on the wall. I picked the Italian deli sandwich for my lunch. Was seated by the very courteous staff and browsed the menu I was handed. That sandwich was not on their menu. I walked out with my server "Calvin" to show him the menu error and he pointed it out to the manager. They did offer to attempt to make the sandwich for me, but I didn't want to be a problem. So I went with my second choice, the Italian chopped salad which they charge ~ $15 for. When I got it I was shocked at the lack of meat. They probably had about three slices of salami cut into strips and about a half of a cup of cubed turkey meat. I polished the "full" sized salad in not time and could of had another. I will admit that it did taste very good, but not worth the price. I'd peg this as 2x too expensive and will not get again.

Have never had a bad meal or service at this CPK till today. The food & waitress (Megan) was good until the end of meal when we found a hair broken in two in the last slice of meat pizza! When we brought it to Megan's attention she tried to tell us that "I'm sure that there was only ONE hair in the pizza! Usually there is only ONE." We all could not believe she said that to us! After letting the manager know what she had said, he too said that was an unacceptable response! After bringing us the bill minus the price of the "hairy" pizza we found ANOTHER hair in a different pizza! When we pointed that out to her as we were paying and she was clearing the plates, she RUDELY said "Well that's why I'm taking these away!" Megan needs a good lesson on customer service and how to apologize for mistakes and not be SNOOTY about it! If we were trying to get a free meal, I would have insisted on a totally comped meal instead of paying the $88 with the $15 pizza off! Definitely no tip for that BIOTCH!! Don't think that I or my family will ever go to that CPK again!

I'm typically not a fan of larger chains, though I've been here a few times on some business lunches, and I've found the food to be pretty good. On the most recent trip, we'd had an avocado club roll, asparagus & arugula salad, california club and a california cobb salad. The service was prompt, and the food was excellent, though I didn't feel much like going back to the office afterwards. I'd highly recommend the avocado club roll appetizer, unless you're health-conscious, in which case I think you're in the wrong place anyway! Definitely a place to come when you've got a bit of time, since it gets busy and parking can be tricky depending on time of day. Despite the busy nature of the place, the service staff does a nice job of not dropping the ball on things. While I much prefer smaller local restaurants, CPK isn't ever a bad choice.

I am addicted to the chicken piccata. I really don't know what else to say. That tangy lemon, those flavorful little capers, the tenderness of the chicken, the pastaness of the pasta. Seriously, best chicken piccata. ever. And the tequila lime chicken pasta is also pretty good, but nothing compares to my chicken piccata. It's like it just makes your dopamine shoot through the roof and turns unsuspecting people such as myself into full blown piccata addicts. And if you want to make it a full meal: Tiramisu - also amazing. House side salad - again, also amazing. If you order ahead by phone, they remember you, because I guess your past orders come up on their computer. They always ask me if I will be ordering the chicken piccata because they know I am a chicken piccata addict. And they don't tell me that I have a problem or judge me or anything for it. They just ask if I would like to pick that up at their curbside service, and whether I would like their insanely good bread and utensils. And then I say, "yes & yes." I then drive on over there and get it and go home and eat it. It's so easy..and so amazing.

I loved it here! second time coming to a CPK and my friend who used to work at one suggested the chicken artichoke spinach pizza. so good! one of my friends got raviolli that was also yummy! the waiter was nice. price was reasonable. it was a little loud and took awhile to be seated but I was satisfied.

Good service and location in Fashion Valley's food court. Four cheese pasta was okay. For an additional dollar, they will add mushrooms on top of the basil and pasta. Jerk chicken pizza came on a thin crust but was sliced in a way that made it hard to tear. All the toppings appeared fresh. Peach lemonade was okay. They have other flavors as well.

I came here last night for dinner and it was very busy. After waiting about 15 minutes for a table the hostess sat us down in table right in the corner, a very undesirable location in my opinion. Whatever, we were hungry and didn't feel like making a big deal about it. It takes the waitress 10 minutes to finally bring over some waters and take our drink orders. Another 10 minutes go by before she comes back and gives us our drinks and takes our orders. 15 minutes later our food comes out. Not once did she come by and ask us how we were doing or if we needed drink refills. I think we only talked to her three times the whole night. I felt bad not tipping but I left her a 10% tip. Hopefully she understood the poor tip was because of the service. Step your game up!

My mom randomly gave me a gift card here so... ya can't pass up a free meal. My bf and I decided to give it a go before a movie date night on a Tuesday night. Surprisingly it was pretty busy for a Tuesday night. The wait was too long so we ended up having to take our food togo to make our movie. We ordered a white pizza, avocado spring roll things (appetizer) and a lemonade, totaled around...$30. The food came nice and packed up and we sat in an outside patio table to chow down. The food was better than I expected it to be. The white pizza was tasty and enough for two, and the avocado rolls were also pretty tasty (a little oily though). It wasn't a bad meal by any means...just not something I would crave over and over again. Don't get me wrong I will be returning to spend the rest of my gift card though, heheh. My motto, free food is good food! Cheers!

The food was Great and the service even better. A friendly staff quick take out and quality well inspired dishes. I enjoyed the Jalepeno lime chicken alfredo. It was a good hearty portion with tons of bell peppers and some red onions. very satisfying and kept me full for the rest of the day. The star kept me smiling as I waited with good conversation and over all as you can tell I was pleased and will definitely return. Especially since I work in fashion valley mall.

It was a nice meal. I ordered the thai chicken appetizer whick was very good. My husband got the potstickers which were bland. And the wild mushroom pizza was very good I wish we got a bigger one. I liked that they accomidated us with a table that I could pull the baby stroller right up alongside an the baby wouldn't distract anyone. Thank goodness the bathroom had a diaper changing station in the larger stall because I could chage the baby and keep an eye on my four year old who gets easily destracted by everything in the stall, so instead of our food gtting cold because we were in the bathroom for 20 minutes, we were out of there in 7 minutes, a world record :-). A great place to grab a bite if you don't mind a 15 minute wait. Don't expect to have a quite meal because let's face it it is a pizza place in a mall so don't be fooled by the wine glasses on the table :-).

Always a fan, been coming to CPK for quite some time! My all-time favorite dish is their Original BBQ Chicken Chopped salad - such great flavor combinations!!!! Their pizzas are also tasty, but honestly this salad is one of my favs anywhere that I tend to get it for a meal!

Food is good, not the best pizza around, but definitely good. Waiter was very nice, and even though it was super busy, he was attentive. We ordered the Sicilian pizza on wheat crust. I like that crust much more than the crispy thin one that it originally comes on. All in all, CPK is always good if you're in the area.

The name says it all...California PIZZA kitchen. This is a good place to hit up for pizza (their pastas are ok but it really is about the woodfired pizza's). The quality of CPK is decent though you can get better bang for your buck elsewhere on pizza. If you're looking to splurge, have at it! This go around my friend and I split a bbq chicken pizza (yum!) and their fried mac and cheese appetizer (you get 4 pieces). They were kinda dry and there wasn't a lot of cheese sauce so it was more like pasta coated in bread crumbs and fried. Wouldn't get them again without asking for a little more cheese (it's in the name, right? So shouldn't there be more of the good stuff?). I'm cheap when it comes to eating out (who isn't on a budget these days) and my friend and I were able to split a pizza (6 small slices) and app and be fine while walking out the door paying about $12/per person - not the cheapest but not breaking the bank either. I was UBER excited to see my newest favorite vodka on the menu (Veev, which is an acai vodka - to die for!). So of course I had to have their Strawberry basil martini ($8) and for a buck more I decided to add the extra shot of vodka and it was well worth the price. I will absolutely get this drink again and will be making it at home as well!! Thanks for the great drink idea CPK.

The BBQ Chicken Salad is amazing here. Their food is actually very good, the only problem is the portions they give you are small for the price you pay. Also, I have to comment on the terrible terrible service the waiters and waitresses give. Overall, the only good thing about this place is the quality and taste of their food.

This is definitely one of the better CPKs that I have been to in SoCal. The location is sunny and airy and they have a nice patio area (with a view of the parking structure, I might add, but at least it's quiet on that end of the mall). Plus, all the staff members I've encountered have been friendly and genuine! Despite being a chain restaurant, CPK has a lot of tasty (and healthy!) options to choose from. Although their delicious pizzas can be tempting, their salads are equally good and filling. I really like coming here for lunches and light dinners! I recommend eating here instead of the alarmingly overpriced Cheesecake factory that's also present in the mall. The food comes out pretty quickly, their prices are totally within reason, and they have a super-wide selection of different meals to choose from. As far as chains go (and I'm usually not a big fan of them), CPK is pretty solid all-around.

I like to come to CPK every now and then for their delicious BBQ Chicken pizza and some of the spinach artichoke dip. For the most part my past experiences have been decently pleasant for a shopping mall restaurant, however I had a bad experience when I came here for dinner with some friends last Friday. We walked in around 7 and there were several open tables but they decided to sit us at a table in the corner right near the entrance. I wasn't in the mood to complain so we just sat down and waited for our waitress to come over. After about 5 minutes of waiting our waitress finally brought us some waters and took our drink order. Another 10 minutes passed before she returned to take our orders. When we had all ran out of water she was nowhere to be found and didn't come back until our food was ready. I am not afraid to flag a waiter or waitress down but I couldn't even see here anywhere. It was like she was hiding somewhere in the back. The food was good and reasonably prices, as always, but the waitress made it a less enjoyable experience than it should have been.

If there is a culinary limbo, it is California Pizza Kitchen. It isn't revolting hell like "Pizza Hut or The Olive Garden", but it isn't Heaven like Cremolose either. The food is really just slightly above average, and that's not good, or bad. Here is what IS GOOD: (1) Exceptional service. (2) choice of having a whole grain pizza crust, or whole grain pasta. (3) Appetizer menu for $5 and under. Here is THE BAD: (1) Apparently there is free bread, but you have to ask for it. We didn't know this until I read other Yelp reviews. I missed out on bread. Oh well. Carbs. This is a good option for mall dining, if you want to eat as healthy as possible. I had the whole grain pasta with tequila lime chicken. It was okay. The pasta was nicely cooked, but the flavors were not complex or interesting. Still, it beats Hot Dog on a Stick.

Walking in, we almost walked back out from the array of smells. First it was a strong gas smell, but after arriving at our seats there was more of a dirty sock smell. Not sure if they went away or we just got used to them.... BUT: The BBQ chicken w/ applewood bacon pizza (-onions) was great. Artichoke Spinach dip wasn't as good as I thought, needed pepper or something else in it. Tequila Lime Chicken Pasta was pretty plain, only about 5 little chunks of chicken. Not recommended. Should've gone with the Jambalaya pasta. Apple Crisp was GREAT.

Gabe H.

Had lunch here the other day. Only waited like 10 minutes for a table. The service was good and friendly. They have a cool little menu called small bites. It's basically small sides/salads/appetizers portioned for one. I had the wedge salad from this menu. It was good, but the plate was so small that everything was falling off. Ordered a BBQ chicken pizza with bacon... Afterall bacon makes everything more delicious! Most importantly the waitress was super nice and attentive and my drink was refilled constantly. In general CPK is not what I consider the best meal in the world, but it was a nice stop in the mall rather than hitting up the food court.

My appetite was almost immediately ruined upon entering this location. As soon as you walk into the restaurant you're hit in the face with a smell of gas as if an oven or stove has been left on without use all day. I don't smoke but I was scared that if a cigarette was lit, we're all gonna go up in flames lol. Afterall I decided to stay because I was tired of searching for places to eat at this mall and I was very hungry. As soon as I was seated, I got hit in the face with a strong smell of gym feet!! I mean it smelled like I walked into a cloud of farts. I'm guessing because they sat us next to the bathrooms. On the other hand... I ordered the Louisiana chicken pasta. It was delicious! Spicy tomato sauce, luguini noodles, and Cajun chicken with a Coors Light on the side. The manager on duty suggested I try some new Orange County brewed beer called Devils Stone or something weird and that was the worst alcoholic beverage I've ever tasted. Overall, the food was great. The service was superb. And the environment was elegant. But the smells? The smells will probably ruin me from wanting to visit this location again.

CPK is one of my favorite chain restaurants, I just love their mushroom ravioli, any of their pizzas & the Waldorf chicken salad...yum! Most of their locations are in malls, which works well for me because I love to shop and consistently work up an appetite doing so. In fact, I love driving up to a mall and seeing CPK...my mouth literally starts to water for their flavored iced teas! Best of all, every CPK that I have been to (about 4 in different cities & states) is consistent in service, quality and cleanliness (which is where some chains fail). I would give it 4 stars but I'm too stingy with them, so they get 3.

Nora F.

I truly have had amazing food at CPK. Unfortunately, this time I didn't have a good experience. I ordered something on their new adventure menu and it was so not what I expected. I had bad service compared to usually. Our waitress was slow and wasn't on top of it. Let's get back to the meal. I order a chilli relleno. It was not good. They put mushrooms in it which I haven't had with mushrooms AND I am allergic to mushrooms! So overall a really bad experience. But, all of my other experiences have been good so I am kind of torn with this review.

This CPK gets 3 stars only because they tried to fix a problem. Please read on. We were a party of 4 for lunch. It was busy but we were seated in about 10 minutes. I ordered a Mushroom, Pepperoni, and Sausage pizza with a Caesar salad, while everyone else had sandwich and salad combo. We waited about 30 minutes for our food, I was given the Mushroom and Spinach pizza, not the one I ordered and the pizza was cold. A guy who could have been the manager, brought one of the other lunches and I told him the pizza was cold and since he had the meal ticket, could he check my order. He said it was the right pizza but could make the one I wanted. Since we had a meeting to attend, I thanked him but declined. When the waitress came by about 10 minutes later, I told her the pizza was the wrong one and it was cold. She also said she'd have a new one made, but I said no, I checked with my lunch companions and they said I ordered the M, P, S pizza. Anyways, they comped me for the awful pizza, hence, the 3 stars.

Dear CPK, What was with the BIG ASS BUG that was in my pizza? Not cool!!! I'm tryng to be reasonable here in recognizing that sometimes there are flies or gnats inside any restaurant, but we all know that was no fly. Whatever it was had an inch long span, complete with long antennae, 6 stringy legs, a bloated thorax, and impressive triangular wings. And what's with that thing being at the BOTTOM of the pear and gorgonzola pizza? I was pushing that shit around like it was a piece of curled up lettuce the whole time! It wasn't until I was feebly trying to "unroll" the "piece of lettuce" to put on a piece of pizza crust, and suddenly realized it was not a lettuce leaf...it was a large insect lightly covered in dressing and slightly curled up from the heat of the pizza. Good to know I ate nearly all the pizza and shared a buncha pieces of it with 3 of my friends before this wonderful discovery. I hope that little guy didn't have a friend that I am already digesting. That's gotta be a violation of some health and safety code. Anyway, it was cool that the manager did the best that she could after seeing the sickening sight. She gave a long apology (speculating that the large bug came from outside due to a produce order, but not from inside of the CPK restaurant and emphasizing that " this never happens"). It's just a shame that it did happen and even if the bug came from Iraq, the bottom line is it doesn't belong on a pizza. Still, the manager offered to comp 1/2 of the meal. She also offered us dessert to make up for our little friend, but unfortuantely no one was really in the mood to eat anymore food after seeing (and tasting) such a sight. When asked what else CPK could do for us, we suggested comping us a drink but apparently, it's against CPK policy to comp alcoholic beverages. Ironic because at that point, you'd probably need a drink to forget you were chowing down on bug-pizza. Additionally, the wait for this CPK is notoriously long and service is usually less than amazing because it's so busy. We waited a long time to get a response from the staff for the bug and then an even longer time to get our checks (triple slap in the face). I know no one maliciously intended the bug to be in the pizza, and the manager and waitress seemed like nice people. However, that experience was just nasty, and I don't think I'd ever come back. PS- I am further embarassed that I was the one who suggested you to my friends and saddened that you will be my first 1 star review on Yelp! Disappointed and disgusted, Your former customer

It took like 30mins to be seated! It was 6 of us ladies out to eat for a friends b-day! The food was cold & not that good! The only thing good about the whole experience was the waiter he was great!! Thanks Ryan!!!

The pizza was cold, just like the service. This location was the worst CPK I have ever been to. I'd like to give them 0 stars, but lowest is 1. They have sent me a "make it right" free meal voucher; I'll probably toss it in the trash.

Good food and Great service! There's not much else to say about CPK. Located in fashion valley this is a nice option if you're at the mall. If you're going here then you already know the menu is full of gourmet pizza. And lots of other delicious things to try. What really sets this place apart for me is the service. Quick and friendly. Always there to fill up your drink and get you anything you need. Wait time isn't as long as cheesecake so this is a nice option. All in all, when I need a fancy pizza this is my place of choice.

Calista F.

You can't beat the location of this CPK. You can shop all day, then sit outside and enjoy a glass of wine with your meal. The food is typical of CPK: its several steps up from other "food court" offerings. I loved their mac n cheese, their Thai Crunch salad is fantastic and they have a decent drink menu. Coupled with friendly and fast service, you can't go wrong here.

It was OK, the wait staff was very nice. The pizza was so-so nothing special. I was hoping for a very crispy crust with fresh ingredients and was let down. Will try again.

Pretty good pizza; however, I always seem to wait an eternity for a table or for my food...

M. P.

Went in, seated right away. Waited 10 mins for a server to tell us he would be with us in a few minutes. Tables that came in after us were placing orders before we decided to get up and leave. Informed the staff and no one did anything.

I know this is a chain and I know it's pricey, but I love this style of pizza. You can get any pizza on a honey whole wheat crust, and the crust tastes great and is not too greasy. I love the inventive toppings. I love that they are not too cheesy. CPK also has a number of other items. The hubby and I shared a goat cheese pizza (yum) and a Moroccan date salad (double yum). The salad was a good combination of unusual, quality ingredients and flavors. We thoroughly enjoyed our lunch. This location was pretty nice. The mall can get crowded, but there is plenty of parking and the restaurant is located right next to the parking structure. We went with friends and it was easy to get there, park and grab a table. Great for the kids.

We LOVE this place! I see that the reviews are lower than I expected to see, but you would never know it by the number of people in this place yesterday and the way that the great food tasted! Try the Margarita Pizza and fall in love. We will be back.

The host/hostess is always great at the front door. The service provided has always lacked a little bit. I understand the wait for a table if they are busy, but after being seated it takes 8-10 minutes until we place our drink orders. We went there tonight and the same thing happens. Server seems rushed. Food is always good, but the service needs overdue attention.

Jonathan E.

The food is standard CPK food. The service was terrible though. I waited for an hour for my food after ordering. My waiter kept forgetting water and I think gave me the wrong drink. I ordered an Asian Plum martini. It tasted like a lemon drop. Granted, we had a big party but the service shouldn't have been this bad.

Veteran's Day Free Meal. Seriously the BEST veggie pizza I have had in a long time!!!!!!!! The staff was so nice and they were not too busy.

Sicilian pizza was good. Chicken quesadilla was good. Drinks...not so good. Pretty much all soda, not enough alcohol. For $8.50 each, I expect more than soda. Service was fast even though it was super busy.

Sofia S.

CPK is always surprising me with their dishes. Their fettuccini is amazing but nothing could top their fried macaroni! I ordered it thinking it was gonna be macaroni with bread crums on top but instead it was something else. That something else was amazingly delicious! The wait to be seated was a little long, but judging by where its located, I understand.

Mike B.

Really poor greeting staff. I would normally have left & thrown their pager in the trash, but my wife assured me that once we got past them, the food would be good. AND, in fact, it was. So was the service. I had a 1/2 salad & tea and it was way more than enough AND good. So, if ya go there..pray that they have fired their valley girl greeters & give the rest of them a chance to do their job, which they do :-)

Mark M.

Very poor service. Milani was not very friendly or cooperative. Side order of grapes was all squishes and when we sent them back we just got more of the same and no apology. Request to refill milk was not ever completed and wait time was excessive. Not coming back here ever! The one in West Covina is tip notch though.

FOOD Good. 4 stars. Tasty SERVICE AT PICK UP/TO GO Terrible. Slow and incompetent staff. Negative stars. Unprofessional. I think I saw my cashier eat someone Else's order. If not someone Else's order, he was eating while not helping me. He ducked down into the fridge below the cash register, opened up a container and shoved something in his mouth. Then he just stood there chewing his food. He was actually supposed to get more information about a food item. He was literally in the middle of taking my order. I was literally face to face with him, waiting for him to finish his food. I didn't say anything, because in my head he was diabetic and going to go into shock if he did not eat at that moment. But realistically, I think he was disrespectfully and disgustingly eating someone Else's food, in the middle of taking my order and disrespecting me. I am not huge into needing to be respected, but this was beyond just being "unprofessional". What other things could this staff person be doing, that he shouldn't be doing at this restaurant. MANAGEMENT Good. 4 stars. Professional. Comped my food without me asking. But, may need to consider incompetent staff's interactions with guests, and how this can impact customer's views of the company, in particular CPK Fashion Valley. I know no one wants to fire anyone, maybe incompetent staff can be reallocated to clean bathrooms, or something else... Overall experience: Lame. Would return with a coupon to general restaurant. Would never do pick up again. That was suppose to save me time, not waste my time.

Came in for a late lunch with some friends, wasn't greeted at all. We grabbed a seat and didn't get help for a good 10 minutes the place isn't that big to go unnoticed! Food was okay if it wasn't for chit chatting with my girlfriends then waiting would have been much worse

Jessica C.

For these types of prices I was hoping that at least one thing I ordered was going to be delicious. It was all just OKAY. Not what I was expecting. Was not worth the money and now this place is crossed off my list.

Popped my cpk cherry last weekend. Why did every person always say "what?! You never been to cpk before?!?" when I mention I never tried it. They act like I told them I still believe santa is real....sorry if any little ones are reading this. Think I just ruined your childhood. They took 45 minutes to call us in when we had reservations at 7. Whack! Our server was super nice and quick. Pizza for$15?! For a liitle ass thing? Dude i'd take Cicis for $5 over this any day. Very very overrated and even more overpriced. The cheesecake was good but was $7. I prefer cheesecake factory over this place. Better food, huge menu, better cheesecake. Think that's the first and last time I go there. Next cpk I have will be frozen from albertsons.

Although it is a chain, I think they have some amazing choices! The pizzas are original and delicious, however, you must must must try the Avocado Club Egg Rolls and the White Corn Guacamole and Chips!!! Also, Walter is my favorite at the Fashion Valley location!

Went to CPK for a birthday celebration. I was pretty satisfied with the food and drink, but the environment and service were lacking a lot of luster. PROS: Will do separate checks for a large group, Food was good (4 out of 5), the roasted veggie salad was a nice alternative to boring, plain, or fatty salads you usually find at restaurants these days. CONS: Service was inconsistent, we got our food after the rest of our party was basically done eating theirs. Also, it's in a mall (which I try to avoid). And it was crowded and we were sat late, even with reservations. --------------------------------- DRINK: I was in the mood for a beer, but there weren't any great selections - I think they had three beers on tap; Red Trolley was one, but none of them made me even a little excited. The birthday guest's drink of choice is always a Long Island Iced Tea, so I had one of those as well. Always a good choice if you think a corporate place isn't going to pour the drinks well, because it's pretty much all alcohol. It was a decent drink, though the bartender didn't add enough ice so she topped it off with coke (it's supposed to be the smallest of splashes). But, at $8, it was a good choice (I was honestly expecting $10 or $12). GROUPS: Even though we had reservations at 7:00 for 8, we weren't seated until 7:30. The upside of going to this place as a group is that they'll do separate checks, so you don't have to split the bill at the end. The downside is that they still charged us the group rate for gratuity (18%). I typically tip 18-20% for good and great service, but I didn't want to give them an 18% tip after that visit. FOOD: The food was good, Shawn got the Carnitas & Habanero pizza, and I had the roasted veggie half salad. A half salad is just right for the standard person (girl) - get a full salad if you plan on sharing with someone. The roasted veggies were done well - eggplant, peppers, artichoke hearts - and also avocado and a few other things. Pretty tasty! Shawn said the pizza was good too. He and his brother love spicy food, and the pizza came with a habanero salsa/dipping sauce, which they said was pretty good (and actually on the spicy side.) SERVICE: The biggest negative of the night was that all the food came out for everyone else in our group, and Shawn Michael and I did not receive our food. The server came back around and apologized to us, said there was a mix-up in the kitchen and that it was all her fault, and that our food would be out soon. My salad was delivered at about the point when everyone else was halfway through their food, and Shawn's pizza came after everyone else had finished their meals (and I was nearly done with my salad). We're pretty patient people, and recognize that mistakes are made, and for the most part are pretty forgiving. The food was still good; he enjoyed his pizza and I my salad, but when a server admits that it was totally their fault, that they messed the order up, I expect the best approach is to take a portion of the price off the bill, or comp a drink or bring a free appetizer or something. Shawn and I were both surprised when our check came and it was still full priced (and had the mandatory 18% gratuity included). We weren't expecting it for free, because we still benefited from eating and enjoying the meal, but the server should account for the inconvenience and the inaccuracy of their service. For Shawn's sake I wanted to say something, or at least tip a little bit less, but he didn't want to make it into a big deal so we ended up just paying the bill and leaving.

Yeah, it's a chain but we decided to go here for Veteran's Day when they were offering a free pizza and drink for Veteran's and active duty military. Score! ATMOSPHERE: Clean. Table, booth or bar seating. Crowded! But then again it's in a busy mall. FOOD: We have tried the following pizzas: 1. Hawaiian BBQ - good. Fresh (not canned!) pineapple, onions, chicken, and sweet BBQ sauce. Little sweeter than what I like usually but not a bad pizza. 2. Mushroom - man this is very, very "mushroomy" with 4 different types of mushrooms. You could hardly see the cheese. Very good! if you love mushrooms. 3. The Works - all types of meat and green peppers, onions. Also very good. SERVICE: Wow, they sure are military friendly. While we were there on Veteran's Day the manager walked around thanking military their for their service and gave each person that was active duty or a veteran certificates to come back for another free pizza and drink by the end of the month. Wow! They don't take reservations but if you call an hour ahead they can put you on the list to be seated. When we were there on a Sunday night the wait was 1.5 hours! But we were seated immediately because we called ahead. LOCATION: Hidden in the back of the food court at Fashion Valley Mall. I had no idea it was there! PARKING: Plenty of parking in parking decks around mall for free. CONCLUSION: Average to good food but definitely above and beyond supportive of military hence the extra star. Thank you, CPK!

I'm not afraid to admit that when I used to live in Colorado, eating at California Pizza Kitchen gave me hopes and dreams about what it would be like to dine in SoCal. I would beg my dad in high school to buy the frozen versions so I could have some delicious pizza between classes and getting to my after school job. Ah, teenage memories. When I moved to Mission Valley in San Diego I was psyched to see a CPK right in the Fashion Valley Mall. We went in and had a fantastic meal. Every time I have dined here the service has always been consistent and fast. The food never disappoints, and the portions are great. They just added a new crab cake to their menu a couple of months ago, called the Baja Crab cake and it's hands down the best crab cake I've had in San Diego, and trust me I eat a lot of crab cakes. Their pizzas are really delicious. If it doesn't have pork on it (damn allergies) I'll try it. My favorite pizzas are as follows: Margarita on thin crust Thai Chicken Greek Pizza Four Cheese with sundried tomatoes aaaand the one with the pears. The name escapes me now and I know you're think "umm, pears, really?" Trust me it's delicious. CPK can pretty much stick anything onto a crust and make it good. Also, side note, if you are going to go see a movie let the server know and they will hurry up the order for you. I usually even tell them to bring me the check when the food arrives so we can dine and dash. They are always happy to take care of you.

As you first walk in this CPK you'll notice that the waiting area can barely fit anyone! Wow, really? There was only one party of 2 + a stroller in front of us and we(2 people) were waiting outside the door!! I waited maybe 5 minutes before getting seated because the hostess couldn't figure out where to seat the people in front of us when the restaurant was pretty empty at 5pm. She apparently grabbed a high chair for maybe a 2 month old child whom was in a car seat. As soon as we got seated, the service was pretty good. The waiter came quickly to serve us drinks, which was nice because I was really thirsty. I felt that the waiter was trying overly hard to be funny/ get a higher a tip. Usually at other CPK locations they bring you complimentary bread once you order your food regardless of whether you want it or not. However, this waiter went on and on about whether I would want bread, oil, vinegar, ranch, and so forth. Honestly, I thought he was constantly asking me questions for 5 minutes.. a little unnecessary, if I need something I'll ask you for it ok?! Food: We got 2 Personal Pizzas: The Original BBQ Chicken and The Works Pizza. I'm a fairly light eater, even though I was really hungry, and I only had 2 slices (each pizza is about 6 medium sized slices). The pizza's are probably about 12" in diameter, which is fairly large for a personal pizza. The crust is really thin and crispy, which I loved. The original BBQ chicken is one of my favorite pizzas from CPK. I'm not a fan of the Hawaiian BBQ chicken even though I love any pizza with pineapple. I just think that pineapple and the BBQ chicken just don't mingle very well. The works pizza was plain, and a little mushy, but it tasted like any other combo pizza-- nothing special. The service at the end of the meal was horrible. It might've gotten a bit busier, but wow, we were waiting for the waiter for awhile. We were trying to track him down to get a box and our check for a good 10-15 minutes. When we finally got ahold of our waiter he seemed really distracted with his other customers, which was a little disappointing because I only wanted the check and a box. Anyway, the overall experience was ok. I don't think I would return to this location again, as I have a CPK in La Jolla, whose service I think is a lot better.

This place is easily accessible and conveniently located in Fashion Valley Mall, which makes it a nice place to take a break at during your shopping experience. But are you seeking for savory tastes? If so, then this place is not for you. They have interesting menu item descriptions, but when you get your food, you become forever scarred of the boring flavor that fills your mouth. The flavors in their pizzas and pastas matches only that of oven-made meals from your home. Their food just doesn't taste as fresh as they claim. Thus, the food is just okay. They don't give me that "mmm... soo good" feeling, and I would much rather dine at the Cheesecake Factory. The service at this CPK is average and not really up to par with other chain restaurants. It is never on my choices of places to eat, but for some reason it attracts some friends who like very simplistic meals and mac n cheese.

Dorene F.

We went on a Tuesday night, and it was pretty busy, but the wait was less than 10 minutes to get seated. The staff is very friendly, which is awesome. The movie theater is right next door, but I wouldn't really recommend it if you are planning on "dinner and a movie", unless you give yourself LOTS of time - our party of 3 people waited nearly 30 minutes for our order, which was just a pizza and a salad. The food was pretty good, reasonably priced, and the portions are generous. Two of us shared the thin crust roasted artichoke & spinach pizza, with a little left over. The (half) Waldorf salad was plenty dinner for one person. I would go back.

I've eaten at CPK a few times in my life. I won't eat the pizza there because I am a pizza snob, but I've tried other things on the menu, and I haven't really been impressed. I came here a couple of weeks ago with a friend. They had a decent drink menu, but after a long day of shopping at Fashion Valley, I just wanted some water and a ice cold Coca Cola, so I'm afraid I didn't indulge in their alcohol offerings. I ended up ordering the mac & cheese. It was under-seasoned, and the sauce on it wasn't very cheesy. I ended up going crazy with the salt and pepper shakers to make it taste like something. After eating this, I have decided to pack a ZIploc baggie full of seasonings for experiences similar to this one. I think it will probably come in handy. Maybe that's a good idea to market.. or maybe CPK could just season their food properly? I have to give this place 3 stars only because of our waiter. The food was pretty terrible, but our waiter was fun. I wish I could remember his name. He was super friendly and took my sarcasm (and even gave me some back!) without feeling insulted. He seemed to enjoy our table, and he was quite a trooper. So for him, I give this place 3-stars. Also, it's pretty clean. Clean is good. But the food here is awful.

Vegetarian pizza!!! I came here expecting nothing and was pleasantly surprised with delicious vegetarian pizza without cheese. (It's weird because as a meat eater I hated this pizza because it tasted too raw & bland, but this time it was great- the veggies were adequately cooked and the flavor was perfect!) Also we had spring mix salad w/ walnut cranberry that was really yummy. Also the waitress told me all of their pastas can be made vegetarian. :) :) Conveniently located right at the heart of Fashion Valley, we had no wait and was seated promptly. So yay for that!

I love CPK for the simple fact that they provide nutritional content for their menu items. I'm a regular and I've never been disappointed with the food. My favorite has always been their spinach artichoke dip. Last night I tried their ministrone soup for the first time and loved it. Writing this review makes me want to go back for more soup tonight.

saturday night is bangin' at cpk! called ahead and when we arrived we only waited 5 minutes! (super great service!!!) ordered an appetizer which i think the waitress forgot to put in. my mom asked about it and it was brought out 2 minutes before our dinners. :/ food is always good. baja chicken spring rolls are my fav! :) when we were ready to go we got the wrong bill! i told my mom to pay it (it was less than ours) and let's dip! she did the right thing and asked for ours. i know it's a crazy busy night, but if you can't keep up with the crowds, work at a clothes store.

Waited An Hour....Which Is Expected At 8pm @ The Mall On A Friday Night. However I Did See Empty Tables In That Hour Which Makes Me Wonder Why We Weren't Seated Earlier.....However.... Food Was Great...First Time At This Location. I Got The Tostada Pizza W/ Shrimp And My Husband Got The Meat Something LoL YUM Strawberry Mojito....So AMAZING I Had 3. Our Server Sara(h) Was Friendly, Professional, And Had A Great Attitude For What I'm Sure Is Another Busy Night For Her As A Waitress. PLUS SHE BROUGHT ME A WATER WITHOUT ME ASKING. Thats A Huge Score For Me When I'm Drinking!! Happy To Go Back. Yum.

Everyone I tell is so surprised when I say "what is CPK?" I swear that was a rock band back in the day! DUH. Its California Pizza Kitchen. Went there for the first time on a Friday night (crowded of course, as well as it being at FV). I had the mushroom pizza, added grilled chicken (wish there was more chicken). Over all it was really good. But the main reason for us actually going for the first time, is the love of Red Velvet Cake. The piece of cake fairly large, but the icing to me was way to rich. Other than that, it was delicious! CPK- highly recommended!

Sarah J.

I LOVE this restaurant but it seems each time I come, I get a server worse than the last. We have been here for (yes, I'm writing this as we wait!) ...40 minutes and still haven't gotten the bread we asked for. It's not busy at all! I asked her a question about a dish when she took our drink order and she did not come back with the answer for 10 minutes! Then upon returning, we ordered and asked for bread for my daughter who is hungry and grouchy. 'I'll bring it right back.' I also asked for an apple juice. 15 minutes later she brought the apple juice. Still no bread. I need to start going to Sammy's. They have similar dishes and better customer service. No tip will be left!

Went to CPK yesterday around 3 PM (kind of a slow off time to go). Went inside, sat at the host stand for a few minutes - nobody came. Even the cooks were looking at me and trying to figure out why nobody was there. Eventually, I just grabbed 2 menus and found a booth myself. I later found out why nobody was at the host stand...Our waitress was THE ONLY person out on the floor. She was on the phone taking orders, seating people (eventually), taking orders, filling drinks, cleaning tables, etc. She was the only employee there so she was doing everything. I have to give her credit, she kept her cool under the pressure, and she was doing a great job hustling to try to keep up with everything. The 2/5 rating is for the management letting this happen. As it turns out, people were on breaks/lunches, and they came back about 30 minutes after we got there. Why would the manager allow everyone to leave at the same time for their break/lunch? Why wouldn't you stagger them so there is always sufficient staff on the floor?

==California Pizza Kitchen== Located right on the top floor of Fashion Valley Mall across from the AMC theaters. The decor is always nice in these type of places but it can be very loud. They do dine in or to-go orders in the back. There's only one reason

Man what a wonderful dinner i had. The southwestern egg rolls were awesome and the Classic BBQ chicken was to die for. The misses had the Jumbalia with shrimp and chicken. Also had a guiness and a karl strauss beer from tap.. Great customer service and they check up on you every so often..they dont leave you in the dust like other places.. 10/10

This is the only CPK I've been to so I have nothing to compare it to. They're BBQ Chicken pizza is better than Pat & Oscar's My friend and I usually go when they just open to beat the afternoon lunch crowd. And that way we can walk off the calories afterwards and go shopping. I LOVE the avocado egg rolls. :] Mmmm it comes with both a ranch dip and southwest ranch dip. As for service, yes it does take awhile to get some attention, even when there are numerous waitresses.

For a long time after moving to SoCal from Chicago, I refused to set foot in CPK. The Chicago elitist pizza snob in me refused to acknowledge this perversion of the almighty pie. BBQ chicken on a pizza? Sacrilege! It would be probably over a decade before some friends would make me go, and I have to say that the food is pretty good. The pizzas are not half bad (if you're in the mood for the thin crust variety) and the selection is impressive. Even if you're not into the pizza, they have a wide variety of salads, pasta, and other dishes. Try the jambalaya pasta...delicious! I've tried some of the pizzas there and enjoyed them, but I still haven't found the tolerance in me to try the BBQ chicken. Maybe one day, who knows? Perhaps even I have the capability to evolve.

This location is located within a shopping mall. There are several parking structures and regular ground level parking stalls to park your vehicle. I was seated within fifteen minutes. After being seated, the server greeted the table right away. I ordered the usual club sandwhich. What I appreciated was the server repeating my order to me to ensure it was correct. The food was fresh, tasty and the meal was filling. The presentation of the sandwhich was excellent. I enjoyed the good service and good vibe. The only negative was the server only came by once to check up on the table. Other than the not so frequent check-ins I enjoyed visiting. The prices are reasonable. Most entrees are $11 and up.

Husband and I went here for lunch today 'cuz we got a b-day gift card. It was, well, "Okay". I wouldn't have been happy to spend the money if it was "real money". We had the garlic chicken pizza - which was fine, good crust. A bit small for $12, but it was fine to share for lunch. They have a horrible selection of draft beers!!! We both ended up with Sam Adams - always a good bet - and were happy with our libations, but should have been for $4.75 each. FYI - it's in the Fashion Valley Mall, so be ready for a wait. Though, they did a great job of seating us - a party of 2 - in ~ 15 minutes on Saturday @ 1pm. Thanks! We were starving! Service is pretty good, and they do try to go quickly during the lunch hour, which everyone appreciates. Moral of the story: I wouldn't go seek it out, but if I was waiting for a movie at the mall, and starving, it would be a fine place to go.

Horrible service, portions were tiny, food was gross. We were in & out of there in 30 minutes. My pasta wasn't even fully cooked, the server told me that is just how it comes. Yikes! Won't be back again! With I could get my money back, actually.

We were seated promptly by a very friendly & happy Host. Our waiter was quick with the drink orders & we enjoyed the CPK Cobb's! But I don't recall being asked if we wanted bread. Everything was good!

It has been awhile since I've been to this particular CPK. I went in a week ago. And I was thoroughly disappointed. The waitress came by after a few long minutes. After another few longer minutes I asked her for my water. I had also ordered a beverage. I waited and waited. She served me my drink with my meal, a soggy, wilted salad! The manager came by to apologize and to tell me my waitress was busy! The place was no where being full. One of the waitress' excuse was that the table before me had a lot of special requests. New management, I think, will try the other restaurants here on out. This CPK is always busy so 1 person not going back is no big deal...

I never really thought of Fashion Valley as Linda Vista but whatever. The place was crazy busy as was the mall. You's never know we were in a recession. The wait wasn't more than about five minutes and the service was reasonably prompt. The place is also very clean. I've been to this and other locations before and as with most chains, the food is pretty consistent from location to location. New to me, they have this satisfaction guarantee posted on the menu. The actually encourage people to try new things by letting them know they can send them back and go back to their old standby if they don't like it. In spite of this, my wife and I split a Thai Chicken Pizza and a small chopped salad-old standbys. They were as good as the first time I ever ordered them. The kids all ordered off the kids menu and seemed uniformly happy. My father joined us. He had the Cobb salad and fish tacos. He liked the salad but not the tacos. He prefers Rubios so that gives everyone an idea of his yardstick. Other than the crowds, I like the place. They have some really unique pizza combinations and have expanded the menu beyond pizza and salad to include fish and meat. Give it a try. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

so CPK is what is right, unless you came from another country there really isn't any big surprises here. This location is good but man it gets CRAZY packed at certain times. I am still a BIG fan of the Thai chopped salad and that's pretty much all I get. Hubs mixes it up more than me (which is totally surprising!) He has had the jumbalya, several different pizzas and something else that was forgettable to me but he seems to like it all. For being what I like to call cysco foods, they seem to have really mastered the art of it and for a good solid salad you can't really go wrong, well unless say you go there on a Saturday at 1pm

Strategically located in the mall next to AMC, this place attracts many people for a late dinner/lunch after the movies! No complaints with the food or the service, the pizzas are delish and the staff are very friendly! Be sure to plan ahead, and reserve your seats coz this place can have a huge wait time at peak lunch/dinner hours.

This review is my second review of a CPK location, however, very little has changed since my original review of a LA location. This location is at the Mission Valley mall area. The first and most important thing to remember about ordering pizza from this chain is that you have to specifically request thin crust. If you don't, then without exception, I have had bad pizza here with thick, undercooked crust. When you request thin crust, they simply take the original crust and press it a second time, giving you a larger diameter pizza, probably with more toppings. This chain has some interesting sounding pizzas but for the most part, they have taken conventional dinner entrees and just put them on a pizza. The conventional cheese pizza that I had here recently was worse than the last time I tried it, with a more generic and bland mozzarella and a more generic and bland tomato sauce. All I can think regarding this terrible pizza was that they must have geared this pizza to children and kept it horribly bland to avoid offending any picky youngsters. Again, the best pizza that they served was their salad based pizza (both with and without the salad on top). This pizza is a white or sauce less pizza with more interesting cheeses and some more flavorful spices. The crust is the same on all of the pizzas and, when thin enough, is mildly flavorful, raised with some elasticity. The salad with Parmesan shavings and chopped tomatoes that comes on the salad pizza is surprisingly good both on its own and with the pizza. It consistently has a fresh lettuce and flavorful dressing as well as surprisingly abundant freshly shaved Parmesan cheese.

I love this place. The service is great. The manager always comes by to check on us - i can't remember his name. The servers are all super nice especially one of the young ladies that wears cute designer glasses. The only compliant i have is that the restroom is disgusting! Management really needs to be on top of it throughout the day.

My wife and I came here after hitting up the San Diego zoo for the day. Our server, Lori, was very helpful and friendly. The food came out in a timely manner and was delicious. I got the classic BBQ Chicken Pizza, but with bacon! (love bacon) and my wife got the Garlic Chicken pizza. We would also recommend their seasonal strawberry shortcake for dessert, the lemon zest on top really adds to the flavor! I would highly recommend the Fashion Valley CPK.

I really like it here, but sometimes I think it's a little too pricey. I had a 4 cheese pizza with fresh tomatoes, a bowl of soup, and a mango ice tea.. and it came out to be about $20. That's a bit much for lunch I think! The food is good, and I like that it's in Fashion Valley, but the next time I think about grabbing some lunch I may think twice spending $20! However, I should mention that these are my favorites: tortilla soup japanese eggplant pizza wild mushroom pizza thai chicken pizza mediterranean pizza ok.. so even though I complain that it's expensive, I seem to have eaten here enough to know the pizzas! It's just the first time I realized how pricey eating here can be! I think it's cause I usually split the pizzas with friends ... but today I decided to be a piggy and eat a whole pizza myself!

Do yourself a favor, if you want CPK, drive to the next one. Fashion Valley was the worst!!!! Got sat at a tiny table for 2, waitress walked by us at least 5 times without even taking our drink order, we asked for waters from 3 different people didn't get them, and then we finally order our food from the girl. Sitting there for over 45 mins, then come to find out our waitress went on break, and we have a waiter. So talked to the manager, thought it would all be worked out. The waiter came through with the water, but then so did the manager, then some random bus boy, so our tiny table is now covered in 2 drinks and 6 waters, well actually 4 waters, 2 drinks and 2 empty cups, no one cleared them, or the salad plates. Then our food came out with no place to put it, and it was wrong. They just dropped it off and left. Then there was no waiter, waitress, or manager to be found to fix it. I know it sounds like I am ranting, but really this place was that bad!!! My friend and I kept joking that we were on a TV show, and cameras were going to pop out, but unfortunately that did not happen. If this place was managed a little better, it would have some great potential.

I feel weird giving this place only 3 stars, but to be honest it's not a place i would think of going by myself. If someone in my group would suggest it I would agree to go. The time I've been here the service was good & so was the food, but there is nothing memorable of this place. So basically, even when I liked the Thai salad & the chipotle chicken pizza, the only time I would go back is if I'm hungry & I have the place standing right in front of me. Is just doesn't stand out for me, for the price there are better places for pizza. By the way, I agree with Barry H., I never thought of Fashion Valley as Linda Vista!!

CPK you lost a star last night. The positives of my visit: Alyssa, our server was fantastic. She was friendly and when we told her we were in a hurry to make a movie she made sure our food was to our table as fast as possible. Another positive- my tortilla spring rolls tasted excellent. The negatives: The hostess was a tool. I gave her my name, she said it would be a 10-15 minute wait. I told her I would be at the bar. 20 minutes of me looking around, waiting to be called go by and I finish a glass of wine. I walk back to the hostess stand and she says she called my name a long time ago. me: I told you i would be at the bar hostess: i went over there and called your name a few times me: really? i was sitting there watching the entire time hostess: maybe i didn't call it loud enough ya think? i think you didn't even walk over there at all, and you are a LIAR! I would have seen you. you would have seen me. in fact, I was LOOKING for you the entire time to come get me so I wouldn't have to listen to the annoying dbag talking SUPER loud to his friend about how he got kicked out of a club in Vegas, for losing a fight to a girl. We eventually sat down and we made it to the movie in time but CPK, you were not A-OK last night.

My first time at CPK. What took me so long? I never went because I assumed that all they served were pizza (duh), I assumed that it would be really pricey and that the pizza would be generic and wouldn't live up to my expectations. Mind as well order Dominos right? I tried the frozen CPK pizzas from Vons, but that does not do justice for the REAL and FRESH thing they serve. WOW, so many pizza options, I got the white mushroom pizza on a thin crust. So delicious. I had one and tried to tame myself afterwards. So rich and flavorful. If I ever go to italy, I will measure up how their pizza compares. That is how good it was. Next time, I think I won't get thin crust, because with the amount of cheese, I think it made the crust a little chewy and soggy. I like it crunchy, it wasn't able to hold my toppings. I also got the half- grilled vegetable salad. soooo amazing! ate the whole thing. yummy eggplant.

Surprisingly, today was my first time at CPK, even though I am a San Diego Native. I don't know... I just never had the urge to go there. Anyhow, finally at there for lunch today. At first glance at the menu, nothing really caught my eye and looked too appealing. I didn't want anything heavy and really wasn't in the mood for pizza. I opted for an appetizer and went with the avocado egg rolls. The avocado egg rolls were pretty good. There wasn't a whole lot of avocado in it, so I'm surprised at the name on this dish. The outside was crispy which was yummy. My husband ordered some chicken pizza.... it looked alright... he said it was good, but I personally didn't try it. He did mention that Sammy's woodfired is better though. My friend ordered some tequila pasta thing... now THAT was pretty darn good. I thought the prices were on the high-average side. The restaurant was busy and bustling. I didn't find anything too unique about the food itself.... so not sure that I would come back on my own suggestion. They definitely have the location as an advantage here, because being located right at the mall and across from the theater - they are bound to get the foot traffic. I think there are plenty of other places with better food.

I had a $25.00 gift card that's been collecting dust for a few years, and decided to cash it in in honor of my birthday weekend. I ordered a salad and pizza online for pick up, and it was ready to go at the agreed upon time. The food itself was okay, but surely not worth the $29.00 plus price. I figure for $30.00 you could buy two large pizzas and two rotisserie chickens at Costco down the street and feast for a few days. But the WORST part was looking over the take out counter and noticing how dirty the phone, fax machine and credit card reader were! It grossed me out to think that the very nice young man who was preparing my order had been touching that grime prior to bagging up my food. It wouldn't take much to get a cleaning rag and small brush from the kitchen and clean the machines and phone once in awhile! Maybe most customers don't notice such details, but I always do. I think a letter to the manager is in order, just to point it out, as I'm sure he's unaware of the grime. I will give service a A++++ though :)

Do not go here if you are gluten free due to allergies. I went here today, ordered a salad and requested the gluten free balsamic dressing. I was also assured by my waiter that the salad I was ordering was gluten free. I am now suffering from a wheat allergy reaction. BEWARE!

When I lived in San Diego and craved CPK, I ate at the restaurant off Nobel (off the 5 freeway). However, perusing through sales racks at the mall can make a guy hungry. Being that this is one of my favorite chains, I was introduced to this CPK at Fashion Valley Mall. It was kind of tucked away in a corner on the second story of this complex and thus I was hesitant to go in, primarily because I thought the quality of the food would be lower given the relatively poor location. WRONG!!! It's a chain. Chain's operate like assembly lines and thus the product, no matter the location, is generally the same (or at least very similar). For example, In-n-out burgers. I've ordered 3 at a time and they all tasted the same. I've eaten at 3 different In-n-out's and they've all tasted the same. Sorry for the tangent but I'm just trying to make a point. The food was the same: AWESOME!!! I've been here with a couple of friends and have actually tried something outside of my favorites (will be listed below). Sit back and enjoy the ride. Environment: Like I said before, this restaurant is on the smaller side and I anticipated not only a smaller dining area but a more claustrophobic experience. NOPE. The layout was different than other restaurants I've been to but the space between tables that allows for intimacy was still there. Not as many windows as it's sister restaurant closer to La Jolla but there was ample lighting. Probably not as much traffic in this restaurant given that there were fewer tables and thus fewer employees. Waiters/Waitresses: I remember coming here with a buddy of mine, a CPK virgin. I had talked up this restaurant because of the variety and my favorites. As soon as we sat down, he shouted "I freaking love this place!" I looked up from my menu and was just about to ask him which entree he was looking at only to find that his menu was still on the table, closed. He was admiring the people around us. More specifically, staring at the ladies at the neighboring tables. I HAD to take a look myself. Let me just say that he has good taste. My buddy probably didn't pick up the menu for another 10 minutes. Just people watching....including the waitresses. Need I say more? Food: I've copied an excerpt from a past posting and pasted it on the bottom of this review. On this particular day, I had the BBQ chicken pizza. Apparently, "Our most popular pizza, introduced in our first restaurant in Beverly Hills in 1985. Barbecue sauce, smoked Gouda and Mozzarella cheeses, BBQ Chicken, sliced red onions and cilantro." Sounds great right? It is. I don't quite understand it but BBQ sauce gets more spicy when you cook it. I LOVE SPICY FOOD! The chicken pieces are cooked well; not too dry, not raw. There's a perfect combination and ratio of onions and chicken which doesn't overpower the BBQ sauce. Instead, they work synergistically to create this wonderful flavor explosion in your mouth. I'm sorry for my painfully nerdy way of describing food but that's my forte. Recommendation: EAT! Where do I start? The bread is pretty good. Only problem is that the butter comes right out of the fridge and does not spread easily. Appetizers are terrific. Had several of them before but the favorite, by far, had to be the spinach artichoke dip. Perfect blend of cheese, spinach, and artichoke hearts. Creamy and tasty. With every bite of the dip, you feel some spinach get stuck between your teeth. But, because it's so perfectly prepared and cooked, one swipe of your tongue or finger and the situation resolves itself. Dang. Now I'm hungry, just thinking about it. Sometimes the chips are a little salty. If that's the case, ask for more bread and use the dip as a spread. Creative. I know. I've sampled different manifestations of this dish at multiple restaurants and not one can come as close to perfection as CPK has managed to do. For entrees, the favorites are california pizza (sweet and thin [but not sicilian-pizza-thin] crust, melted cheese, creamy mayonnaise-like sauce, fresh lettuce, crispy bits of chopped bacon, and thick slices of avocado), thai chicken pizza, and chicken tequila fettucini (rich tequila flavor with hint of lime and cream. For all you alcoholics, you CANNOT have the tequila on the side!). Have tried others but we almost always order these. Only problem with the California pizza is that you can't really save it. Avocado does not do well overnight. Go ahead, prove me wrong. For dessert, I've tried the cranberry cheesecake. Basically, it's normal cheesecake with cranberry swirls and an Oreo crust. Wasn't bad. Remember, I don't normally do desserts.

Worst service ever! My husband, son and I were hanging out at Fashion Valley mall a little before noon and we decided to have lunch at CPK. The restaurant was pretty busy already but that wasn't the problem. We waited about 5 minutes before getting seated. We finally got seated at a booth right in front of the kitchen. No one served us or even offered us drinks. We were even waving other waiters and waitresses to get water but everyone walked right passed us as if we were not even there. We literally stared at our menus for a good 7-8 minutes watching everyone around us get serviced. Even people seated way after us were attended to and offered water. My husband could not deal with this any longer so we stormed out. NO ONE even offered to stop us from leaving. So much for appreciating their customers. Not planning on going back for a long while. Maybe another location.

It's good here. It is definitely better to eat here rather than take out but take out can be so convenient. Check your order before you leave if you have take out. Like really check it. Also try the raspberry lemon drop. I think that is what it is called. I get the tomato basil spaghettini with goat cheese add on. I stopped adding on the chicken because it has the tendency to be dry. Pizza's are good but for everything you order you need to ask for extra sauce!!!!

Thayne L.

Are you serious? Another one that is not 5 stars... Can't believe it... Where else can you get a carne asada buritto on a pizza? Thats the bomb. But, i am a fan of the favorite, BBQ Chicken Salad, Hawaiian Pizza and always choose some random app. Its in the mall, usually not too busy and they have done an excellent job on training their staff. Kudos to the management team. I enjoy this place a lot and always look forward to going. The lettece wraps are the bomb.

I am guilty of eating here when I am craving salads. The salads are pretty tasty and seem healthy enough. Do BE WARY of any of the "asian themed" menu itesms though! They are not asian in any way other than the occasional splash of sesame oil or wonton. I warn my friends all the time about ordering asian dishes in non-asian restaurants but to no avail. Anytime the "springrolls" or asian salads are ordered, I see the most appalling looks of disgust. Needless to say I have never tasted the asian items here. ALSO, I had curbside pickup the other night and was given a 15 minute wait time, I literally waited 30 minutes and ended up walking into the restaurant to pick up my order. Instead of an apology from the server, she simply looked at me and said, she was busy and just couldn't come out and deliver the food I had already paid for. She admitted my salad had been waiting at the counter for at least 15 minutes. Talk about awful service!

I got a gift card here (whoo hoo! who doesn't like free $ !?!) and took my boyfriend who was a virgin to the CPK world of tasty goodness.. Interior - The decor was nice, but it lacked the warm ambiance I wish it had. The lighting was definately too bright for a restaurant. I don't want to feel the waiter's beaty eyes watching me as I eat. Of course, my boyfriend commented that the lighting was "just fine" to him. Of course it was... to him... hahah Food - I always get a weird craving for Hummus.. well everytime I see it on a menu.. so of course we started with that. It was OK - plain hummus mixed with some olive oil and tomatoes. The "pita" bread was pretty much pizza bread cut into pieces... I ordered my favorite - BBQ Chicken Pizza and the BF ordered the Greek Pizza. The Greek is my new favorite!!! For some odd reason, I always end up liking my BF's entree more than mine! Anyway.. back to the food. Being a lover of Greek Salad, anything with feta cheese is a thumbs-up for me. Trying to eat "healthier" now-a-days, the greek pizza was piled high with everything found in the salad, well minus the lettuce. Feta cheese, olives, cucumbers, red onions.. oh and chicken. But the chicken was too dry, so I didn't care much for that. It was light and fresh and oh so delicious. Service - On a Friday night, the hostess said the wait would be around 20 minutes. Within 5-10 minutes, we were seated at a booth table... so not bad at all! The waiters were very attentive and made sure our drinks were always filled.

This CPK is almost perfect. It's right next to the movie theater, so you can have a very convenient date night at the mall. It's located in the nice mall in Mission Valley. And big enough that seating is not too hard to find. I had a nice little surprise the other night while Christmas shopping with my roommates. They wanted to stop in for dinner, and while I was not hungry, what was I going to do? They ordered the Chicken Club pizza, which I love, and the Jamaican Jerk Chicken Pizza. I had never had the JJCK but my roommate Noel was loving it, and it looked pretty delicious. I'm also not a fan of Jamaican Jerk or jerks of any kind really. But I tried it. And it was amazing. The peppers and onions were sweet and yummy. The chicken was plentiful, and the spice was coy. Almost to the point that it snuck up on you. But not like a semi truck sneaking up behind you in a dream and scarring the shit out of you. This was a gentle and playful teasing of heat and just a little bit of tang. Yummy.

Disappointing and I'll never go again!! Save your money and find someplace else to eat. ** The food is mediocre. Tasteless and uninspired. I ordered a chicken salad foccia sandwich and asparagus soup. The soup was horrid...no taste at all...and the sandwich wasn't much better. My guest had a chopped chicken salad...and it was tasteless and uninspired too!! Yukky food. ** The wine list prices are misleading. When you read the price for a half glass of wine you may think you're reading the price for the full glass of wine. I tried both the sauvignon blanc and a chardonnay....both pretty pitiful wines. ** The service was slow. We had to sit outside because it was crowded inside. Our server didn't get back to us for over 10 minutes after the initial contact. I got the impression that the staff isn't well trained and competent. What ticked me off about this place was the wine list pricing. They want to sell people "half-glasses of wine". Who the hell sells half glasses of wine anywhere in a restaurant!!?? I'm not talking about tasting flights....just half glasses of wine. I told the manager I thought they were misleading patrons about wine prices because most of us are used to ordering either a single glass or a bottle. Everyone else does it that way so why is CA Pizza Kitchen the exception? I was told this was a "corporate decision". No, it was a STUPID CORPORATE DECISION. If this outlet at Fashion Valley is representative of their other outlets THEN don't bother with this restaurant chain. Its reputation as a good place to eat is completely undeserved.

My favorite pizza is the "barbecue chicken pizza," the sauce it is marinated in is awesome. The best salad, the "thai salad" its crunchy and healthy :) The customer service is OK, nothing special. I don't like the location because it's always busy (since its at the mall). Overall though, I'd go back.

I had a lunch date with a good friend of mine and we had to make it back within a reasonable amount of time. We had killed most of our lunch power shopping. We told our waiter of our time constraint and he worked to accommodate us. We were seated right when we came in as we had beaten the lunch rush, placed our order, and patiently waited. I noticed they didn't bring out the bread and so I asked. They said that due to the economy, bread will now be served upon request. So FYI to all of you who may be waiting for it to be served. I had ordered the strawberry lemonade and they have the best out there. It's perfectly balanced and just I heart it =) Along with that was my chicken lettuce wraps. I've never had a problem with them and it's very light, not too heavy like pastas which I wasn't feeling at the time. The service was good but our waiter disappeared for some time. Other than that, I was pleased with the time we got in and out, but unfortunately, had to return to work to finish off the day.

I was here a few days ago with a friend and the food was amazing!! I had a bowl of tortila soup and it was really yummy. The flavor was perfect and was just the right portion. I dont recall what my friend had, but he said that is was very good and he would have it again. The only thing I didnt like aboue this place, but did not dock them a star was all the screaming and crying kids!! There was way too many and the moms think its cute when their kids are mad because they dont like the food.

I have been going to this CPK for years and I have always liked but not today. I enjoyed their menu in the past but now they have changed their menu taking off my two favorite foods; the Singapore shrimp rolls and the Carne asada pizza. I was highly disappointed with today's lunch.

Eddie P.

Last night I went to CPK again because I was at the mall... Took 15 minutes to get a table for 2 on a Friday evening. Ordered 2 glasses of wine, 1 appetizer and 1 soup. The price tag was close to $50 for the both of us. The appetizer was pretty damn good and the service was awesome last night. The price was just a bit too high... I feel robbed and my ass hurts a bit.

Dana S.

Pizza is OK. I usually end up here when I'm waiting for a movie or too famished to leave the mall because I have more shopping to do. The grilled veggie salad is good as is the BBQ chicken salad. Kung Pao spaghetti was a former favorite but i think they changed their sauce a bit. Adobe Chicken soup was Yumm-o! Portions are not huge but definitely enough to satisfy. At the going rate I would prefer just a bit more food to take home for another meal, but hey beggars cant be choosers. This is in a mall after all...

Renee S.

I know, I know - it's a chain but what can I say, they have good food. For a chain they have given an alternative zest to the tried and makes me blue Italian and Pizza. As far as pizzas go, I really like the BBQ pizza or the four cheese and tomato. Some of their pizzas aren't typical pizzas though and are really salads on dough, so be mindful and maybe ask your server if that would just totally upset your day. And on to the pasta, I really like the jambalaya and the kung pao spaghetti. I have the CPK cookbook and I just can't get the dishes quite.... The drinks are good too. I really like strawberry lemonade although I have to water it down because it can be a bit tart. One major turn off is the typical 30 to 60 minute wait, but you can kinda shop while you wait so I guess....

Fiona T.

I like this place because I use to work in the mall and could never leave my kiosk and they offered delivery. I like the thai linguini with shrimp. I don't like how they only have one size for the pizza, and it's tiny. And it's too damn expensive. 15 bucks tops for a small pizza? go to pizza hut! I don't like the Tequila chicken pasta thing. However, it gets very busy. There once was a waitress who was horrible, so I didn't tip her at all =) And the lettuce wraps are deeeeelicious! Edited on August 3rd** I came here about two weeks ago, and was very disappointed. I came for the Egg roll thing, and lettuce wraps. But they didn't have lettuce. And they didn't have egg rolls. So I just got a stupid pizza that I was disappointed with....ERRRGH, stupid franchise restaurants are not that great. What pissed me off was, they had a sign up for the egg rolls, and I order it. AND THEY DON'T HAVE IT!!!!

I did choose this place, in Gary's defense. it has been years since I had been a CPK and remember really liking the pizza. We ordered the Macaroni & Cheese appetizer, thinking it would be in a ramekin with bacon... logical, right? It was deep fried. Really weird texture and not good. We split a Four Cheese pizza which was okay. It was commercial good, not have to go again good like Bill's, Bronx, or Mombo's.

It's CPK. Nothing really out of the ordinary here except for a couple of good servers. I came here with my friends to eat before standing in line for 2 hours for The Dark Knight. I have to say I'm not a huge fan of the Adobe Chicken soup. With all the ingredients all listed out in the menu, I expected it to be much more flavorful than the canned-esque concoction that came to me in a much less than four dollars' worth cup thing. I woudn't get the miso seafood salad either. It simply isn't good eating. The pizza's not shabby. But having had pizza port pizza the night before, I wasn't impressed at all. Sorry CPK. You're alright. Marginally enjoyable, infinitely forgettable.

LOVE CPK!! who doesnt?! amazing flat bread pizzas (the Tricolore is where its at!) and scrumptous salads...not to mention the waiters are nice eye-candy as well :/ I recommend their Long Islands as well...pretty sufficiently get the job done.

CPK was the first restaurant I drank at after turning 21, and also the first date I had where the girl paid for me :) Memories aside, I have always found their restaurants to be clean, well maintained, and pleasant to dine at. The food is fresh and and there are really imaginative things to try on the menu. If you want something plain and boring just ask for it, I don't see why people knock it for having a weird and eclectic menu. I only ate at this fashion valley location once and it was good, better than food court stuff and almost every mall restaurant is some sort of chain so don't complain. I used to work in a mall and I loved eating here because at least you could try something different every time. In my opinion, it's way better than a lot of other options in Fashion Valley.

We ate lunch here one of the days in San Diego. It's your typical CPK, but on this visit we went with other menu items than what we usually order. I ordered the white bean minestrone and a blue cheese wedge salad. My husband ordered spaghetti with mushrooms and marinara sauce. The food was good and something I'd order again. At least we know there are other good menu items to eat than the typical pizza or chopped salads we tend to order. Service was okay, not great. Our waitress didn't offer us any bread, but I could see other tables being served by other wait staff had received bread. Our waitress would check periodically with us, but it just didn't seem as frequent as it could be.

I love CPK. I just hate this location. It's conveniently located in the mall but they continue to undercook their pizzas (especially in the center). I had a Works Pizza, but it feels like they put the pizza in the oven long enough to melt the cheese! The green peppers were super raw! But backtracking, there is a FOUL smell upon entrance. The hostess opens the door for you and BAM, your nostrils, trachea, bronchi, and alveoli are assaulted from the stench that emanates from the carpet!! It smells like a Chuck-e-Cheese. Like fat sweaty kids played in the ball pit, pissed, shat, put pizza in their fat folds, and then rolled all around the carpet. I get that a lot of beezies walk into that restaurant, especially because it's fashion valley, and give the servers 'tude, but damn! It was like I was inconveniencing the server for giving her my business/money/tip. They don't even have their own bathrooms, you have to go outside and around the corner to Fashion Valley's fabulous shit-smelling bathrooms! Please, the San Ysidro outlet has better bathrooms than you do!

The pizza they serve at this place is really expensive. It's hard to get a regular pizza here, they are usually topped with some weird stuff. The different pizzas sound more exciting than they taste. There are better of this genre. It still tastes good, and I have yet to try the sandwiches and the pasta. Even though the restaurant was not that crowded, the food took a long time to be served. I would go back again, if i had the money.

BBQ chicken pizza with onion bacon and pineapple? Yes please! Waiting for 15 minutes for our check after they remove our plates from the table? No thanks...

I grew up in Los Angeles, went to undergrad in Orange County, and now I am here in beautiful San Diego for grad school. One of my biggest pet peeves about San Diego is that the chains here are generally of much worse quality then in LA or Orange County. I have probably been to 10 different CPK's in my life and eaten there a thousand times. Other then the ones Ive gone to many times, the others all just blend in together because of how consistent they are. This one stands out as being awful Please spend the extra few bucks and wait if you have to and just go to Cheesecake Factory downstairs (which is pretty on par with any others youve been to) Service at this CPK was pretty bad, my glass was stained, they filled up my soft drink half way, it looked empty, the salad that I usually get looked unfresh, and it smelled like a homeless person where I was sitting. I love CPK but would never go back to this one. I pray that I just went on a horrible day, but nothing about how the staff acted made it seem out of the ordinary. If you have never been to CPK I highly recommend it , just not this one. Must haves: Tostada Pizza The Asian Chicken Salad (oriental or chinese, i forget)

Came here for the first time to join in on a fundraiser. Very nice, and good food. Clean, friendly and quick service. Morgan was our server who kept us happy with our food and drinks. She's a pro. Prices are good too. If you don't feel like hitting that Fashion Valley food court, walk over to the CPK and give it a try.

It has been a while since we have been to CPK, much less this location. This is one of the first times we have to gone to one where we were seated right away and not have to wait in a line that is longer than the Cheescake Factory. And although the dining room was sparse with customers, our order still took a while to get out to us. Our waitress was very nice, asked if we were ready to order twice, but were not ready...then she disappeared. After some time, she came back and apologized for the wait. She said she was getting reviewed by the big managers that were in town. Really? Giving employee reviews during the dinner rush while you already started to wait on customers? That was strange. Sure enough, noticed 3 other servers, either at tables inside the restaurant or on the patio getting reviews. Little tacky I thought. Don't you have a back office or something? Pizzas were good, just not as amazing or "wow" as I had remembered. Lettuce wrap appetizer was good. Getting Rick Rolled inside the restaurant...classic. They did have a (what I thought was new) was a try a new pizza guarantee. Try something new and if you don't like it, they will make your "old stand by favorite" for free. Thought that was nice, although I'd like to think most places would do that, they just don't advertise it. I am torn on rushing back for another go at dinner. We got these blind coupons that that expire at the end of June. Come back in, manager opens the coupon and you find out what you win. Trips, hotel stays, cash, discounts.... might be worth going back in just for that, even for a drink and appetizer.

Normally, I am a huge fan of CPK, but this location is pretty poor quality! After having a huge event at the Hard Rock the night before, my friend decided to celebrate the day of her actual birthday with a more mellow dinner at CPK. Four of the six members of our party arrived at 7:30 and we were seated within 5 minutes. Our waitress took about hmmm... 8 minutes or so to come over, introduce herself and get our drink orders... pretty simple... just water. It was another 8 minutes or so before the water came. We told her we would wait for a few minutes to see if the other members of our party would arrive before we ordered anything. In the meantime I stepped outside, made a quick call to my beau and realized we shouldn't wait to order our food. After I returned it was another 10 minutes or so before the waitress returned to our table, despite having visited the table next to ours about 5 times (no joke)... our menus were closed and we were staring at her, which typically is a sign that someone is ready to order. When she finally arrived we ordered the Mediterranean small plate as an appetizer for 3 people & requested the bread be brought out as well. I wish she would have mentioned that its definitely too small to share for 3 people, because when the food arrived no less than 15 minutes later it was like a bite of pita, salad & hummus for each of us. While we were munching away, our waitress came over to us and let us know that she would no longer be taking care of our table for the evening and that a second waitress would be helping us. This was great since we were already annoyed that she had been soooo ridiculously slow. The second waitress took the order from 3 members of our party, and I waited till my beau and his friend arrived about 10 minutes later. When the guys arrived, the food was still not out (the salad & soup appetizers), so we put in our orders with the waitress and asked for a refill on the bread. She told us, Im sorry I believe we are out, she took a quick peek at the kitchen area and to her surprise stated, "oh, i guess we got some more." First off, are you serious? CPK ran out of bread?? When it arrived, it was cold.. I mean not room temperature like it normally is, but cold to the touch.. like frozen. We told our waitress and she exclaimed "It always comes cold, if you want it toasted then you needed to ask prior." After asking her to touch the bread she realized the kitchen must have taken it from the freezer or the fridge before cutting it and sending it out. She brought the bread back to the kitchen to be toasted and it arrived about 10 minutes later. The food was nothing to be discussed as it tasted exactly the same as I have had a dozen times before. At the end of our meal the waitress asked if anyone was interested in dessert. I felt sort of pressured as she asked like 10 times... luckily, she did bring my friend, the birthday girl, an ice cream sundae, but she didn't even bother to join in as we sung happy birthday to her. Oddly, I ate at the Temecula CPK the night prior to this incident, and I can say that this was the poorest and slowest service, by multiple waitresses, that I have ever received at a CPK.

Food is always good but service this time was not. Server was not attentive, it was two of us and we were not drinking alcohol, maybe that's why. Took forEVER to get our food. Luckily we were not in a hurry but even still. My friend asked for bread and never got any. Ah well. Next time we will opt for somewhere else :)

It's really busy here because it's right in Fashion Valley Mall. The pizza is delicious, they have a lot of flavors for lemonade, italian soda and iced tea and Free refills (!). The service is okay. It's really loud inside the restaurant. It's just okay.

Karen C.

The food was good, what there was of it. First time customer. Reviews said it was good. We ordered via phone for an order to-go, and said we wanted a Large Pepperoni pizza. What we got was 5 tiny slices. We told them we had a $5 coupon, they didn't tell us it would not apply to our order. If they had said - we don't have large pizza, all our pizzas are 9 inches - we would have ordered differently. I am so disappointed and we are still hungry.

I went there with K. after a movie at Fashion Valley, primarily because it was late, it was open, and K. said she was starving. If I'm a snob about any food, it's probably pizza (I do realize that's somewhat oxymoronic). But at 11pm in San Diego, it was that or Seven-Eleven. This chain just reeks of that corporate feel - it's just one step above a food court. The pizza was actually not bad - we had the vegetarian, and the vegetables were very fresh, including the Japanese eggplant, which was an interesting addition. It would have been a lot more interesting if it had been larger than an hors d'oeuvre, or at least as cheap as one. We also ordered the Chinese Chicken Salad, which had nicely flavored chicken lying, unfortunately, on something that resembled a compost pile. I'm not quite sure when tossing a couple of mandarin orange slices into a pile of head lettuce suddenly qualified a salad as "Chinese" but somehow I doubt that this is what they're eating in Bejing. The problem with CPK isn't that it's bad, but that it's not. It's another one of those overpriced, underachieving corporate entities that's just good enough to keep you from avoiding it, but you always leave with that vague sense of having been taken for a ride. An expensive and unsatisfying one.

I'm not a huge fan of chain restaurants, but this place is an exception. Its sunny atmosphere makes me smile. I can come here and indulge, or I can have something simple like a bowl of soup if I just want to socialize without the waist expansion. Almost all of their soups are vegetarian and healthy. As with most chain restaurants, the service is hit or miss, but it's generally quite good. The beer selection is about the only thing that could use improvement. Biggest and most unique pizza selection ever. The Tuscan hummus... there are no words to describe its excellence.

Teej T.

I have many mixed feelings about you, CPK. First off, if you were not a chain, I'd be more intrigued, because in a vaguely hip, annoyingly upscale way you do try to reinvent two cliches, California cuisine, and Chic Pizza Spots. Unfortunately, you're a chain, so in the same way that Starbuck's originally had an interesting take on the coffee shop, your corporate touch has finessed all the originality out of the experience. So boo on you. Now, secondly, your food is stylish, and the pizzas will be tasty, and the spinach artichoke dip will be wonderfully awesome, but it is all expensive, and far more than necessary. While I feel racially awkward ordering the white pizza (Will Dad think I'm excluding him? Will Mom think I'm trying to hard to blend with half the family?), it is delicious--and with added bacon, mushrooms, and alfredo sauce, I know I'm shortening my lifespan accordingly so I don't have to feel too uncomfortable. However, should it really be around $15? Nah. Your Oktoberfest beer was wonderful, and your peach/raspberry/whatever Torani syrup you have available-infused iced tea is lovely, but still pricey. So you give again with flavour, and you take away with cost. Oh CPK, when will you stop taunting me with your uneven array of tasty and costly? And finally, what makes you lose favour in my eyes, oh CPK, is the fact that you are located within that most bourgeois of malls south of UTC, Fashion Valley. This also means that you are the Mecca for any near by high school. This shouldn't be a problem, but if you are a high school teacher, it means a HIGH degree of pleasant but slightly awkward student/teacher conversations outside of school. Student: HEEEEEY!!!!! Teacher: Hi there! (pause) Student: So, it's um weird to see you outside of school. Teacher: Um...yeah, totally weird. Student: I don't know, I just thought all my teachers lived at school or whatever. Teacher: Er...well, um, ....I don't? Student: Yeah... Teacher: I have to ...um...be over here now. So, CPK is relatively tasty and edgy, but the edginess is dulled by corporate America, the tasty is blunted by the priceyness, and the location makes me feel occasionally uncomfortable. AND.......your lobby looks out over D'Lush. :::Shudder::: I hate you, D'Lush.

Had dinner with my husband last Friday. Usually our cpk visits are great but this time service lacked big time! We ordered a BBQ chopped chicken salad and the mushroom ravioli which took close to an hour to get!!! One hour?? For pasta and a salad? Food was good but had to rush outta there since my husband was totally upset!! One hour to get our food and 15 min to eat it!! People who sat down halfway through our time there got their food 1 min after us!! I didn't want to complain and have my husband get mad in front of people so we left quick and with a tip that will for sure open your eyes to the service you provided..

Very, very slow service, especially for drinks and food - which were just ok, nothing special - and definitely NOT worth the over 30 minute wait. Restaurant / bar was busy but not packed, plenty of service staff so the kitchen must have had drama or is just plain too slow.

MRenee B.

I have been coming here regularly for years, and I've always had great service until recently. I came in alone, on a Friday night to grab a bite before my movie started. I TOTALLY get that it's packed/crazy and you can expect a wait, but I also know it's open seating at the bar. In the past, 'in the bar' included the tall bistro tables back in the bar area. There were a few open, so I went and sat at one, only to be told that wasn't bar seating and I needed to move(all the times in the past, I told it was bar seating...confusing...). Ok...so the only place left was a seat at the end of the bar right in the 'to go' order pickup area. It's a small, short counter with 2 chairs, and you have a view directly of the kitchen/GARBAGE CAN, etc....def. the WORST seat in the house (I'm actually surprised/ashamed they will even allow people to dine there, literally at eye level w/ the garbage can, mops, cash register/break room, etc. RIGHT in front of you). BUT--I did, b/c again it was my choice to come on a Friday evening rush and not wait the 30 min for a table in the main dining hall. I wasn't excited about my 'view,' but, I love the food/service so was prepared to deal with it. Right when I sat down, a lady also sat down next to me. NEITHER of us were approached by anyone. Finally after about 10 min I asked some random guy walking by if we can even order here? He looked annoyed, and was like, 'uhhh, sure.....hold on.' The lady and I looked at each other like...'seriously?!' So he comes back maybe 5 mintues later and quickly just takes our drink order, not asking if we're eating, etc....and rushes away before we can say we actually want to eat. Also, neither of us was EVER given WATER or even offered water! It was litearlly 20 min later when I finally grabbed him to put in a food order. Then another woman ended up coming to actually give the check (served in a water glass?)....it was painfully obvious I, and my seat mate were just a total pain in the butt for them. We both ordered and paid as much as a normal 'diner,' but were treated more horribly than second class citizens. It was sooooo disappointing, this is always my go-to spot before a movie, but I will NEVER sit at that spot again. I felt like me ordering and giving them my money/service was a pain, my seat mate agreed it was close to the worst service we've ever had. Sorry you were annoyed to have our money and business...next time we may just take it elsewhere.

First of all this location is very busy (It's in a busy shopping mall duh), but its worth the wait. Excellent wait staff. My husband has tried many of their pizzas & loved all of them. I am addicted to their chinese chicken salad. Love the flavor of the 5 cheese & tomatoe pizza. Best of all the Rasberry flavored lemonaide(when I want to drink somthing besides coke :) Will return here many times.

I have always been a big fan of CPK. It is one of my favorite chains. I can never go wrong with the BBQ Chicken Pizza. I really wish they'd give more diced tomatoes with the Foccacia though. I actually just went yesterday and our server Jessica was GREAT. She would bring us refills when we still had 1/3 of our drinks in the glass. She was nice enough to give us drink cups to take with us to the movies once we finished our meal. I gave her a 20% tip. However on a bad note, my friend and I were sitting at a table toward the bar and at first we were rather annoyed because of one loud, boisterous worker with a burgundy-ish headband. She was complaining about how she made 5 chocolate shakes already and she didn't want to make more. I hope and pray she was just joking around but she seemed serious. I don't hear the cooks complaining about making pizzas over and over. I was very tempted to order a chocolate shake just to piss her off, but I feared she would probably spit in it. I get that work can suck at times, but please keep your complaining to yourself or at least speak in a lower tone so customers can't hear you... it just makes you look bad, obnoxious and foolish.

Michael L.

Not the best pizza in town, but I go for the atmosphere. It's a good spot to sit down outside, sip on a beer, and do some people-watching while waiting for a movie to begin at the theater across the food court. If you do get pizza, try the cajun one.
(3)
Nadine N.

I like CPK. I especially like the roasted eggplant pizza and the roasted vegetable salad...at other CPKs, not the one at Fashion Valley. Their roasted veggie salad sucked. The vegetables were burnt and/or flavorless. Don't they have some sort of corporate standard? Isn't that the whole point of chains? You go to any one and the food tastes the same regardless of where you are? Service could use plenty of improvement too. The hostesses seemed indifferent to people who wanted to be put on the wait list. If you have to eat at Fashion Valley, I would recommend that you check out the Nordstrom Cafe for better food and better service. If you want to eat at CPK, go to another location!

5 stars for what it is. It is a chain and in the mall it is what it is! That being said I LOVE CPK pizza and salads and every time I've been here I've had an excellent experience.

3.5 Stars. They have some pretty good food here, but I must say when I went there today service was not good. Water was only refilled once, when we're about to leave. The cheese and hot peppers took a while to get to the table. The first time I went here it was a little later in the afternoon, and the service was not bad at all. But I guess when you come during lunch, chances are there are not enough waiters to attend to you *shrug. Hmm, one last thing. I think some things on the menu are a tad bit overpriced =/
(3)
William M.

The ol' ball-and-chain and I frequent this spot often as we are also avid movie goers (theater is a hop away, literally). I like CPK, the food is always reliably tasty. I recommend the thai crunch salad or the wild mushroom pizza on honey wheat. I also recommend that if you invite someone on a date that you should pay, it's called chivalry. I'm just sayin' (breathe... inhale... exhale...). Okay, I'm done.

Sheryl V.

This place is alright. I only go here because it's one of my mom's favorite spots to eat. Since it's also located in her favorite mall, we usually end up coming here for dinner after an evening shopping together. The food to me is average including their pizzas which they're known for. I do like their new mini bites menu and their salads are hearty. The service the last time I came here was really great. Our waitress made sure to come by just when we needed her and no more than that which is perfect for me. I love dining out and not having to worry about a waiter constantly coming by asking how everything is while i have food hanging out of or in my mouth and all i can do is nod. I also don't like having to wait more than 5min for my drink to be refilled. It's important to find a balance with the folks at the tables. This is not a great spot for large groups because this location is very narrow and they only really have booths that can fit a max of 6 which is already a tight squeeze. parties of 4 or less are more accommodating.

Elika E.

Yay I'm a fan, no complaints, love this place, only thing that would make it a full 5 stars is if it was a stand alone restaurant outside the mall, I think it would be more 'fun' experience than just stopping by while at the mall. Good food, declicious salads, good pizzas. Everything is all good. Good soups, some what of a wait, but nothing as long as around the corner PF changs or cheesecake factory will be... this place is great. But, off topic, the frozen CPK pizzas you buy at the grocery store do not compare to dining in the restaurant! the frozens are bland!

Karen F.

i miss CPK in New York. the pizzas are bomb. try bbq pizza or veggie the drinks are bomb. the ice teas are to die for. the salads are bomb. try bbq, warm vegetable, or chinese. the sandwiches (which come with soup-- i always get tortilla soup) are bomb. the waitors are usually hot . and the prices are decent too. sometimes because this is in fashion valley, it might take some time to get seated but usually never more than 10 minutes. overall, loves loves loves.

Mike W.

I love this place, but I believe it is really over priced, especially for something like pizza. but the staff, food, and restaurant are great. so If you don't mind dropping a few extra dollars, then this is the place. if you are on a budget, go anywhere else, its just pizza.
(4)
Jillanne D.

CPK. well the food is pretty good. I love the chinese chicken salad and some of their vegetable pizzas. Hubby loves the spinach and artichoke dip for appetizer. The ambience is great and the staff is is pretty nice too. Other than that, it's an OK place, not really the place to go if you want really really good pizza.

Amber G.

I've been here twice, once in the fall semester after my first final, and once in the spring semester after my first final. You could say it's a tradition. Both times, the food has been delicious and the service has been great. CPK might not have the ambiance of a smaller, individually run restaurant, but you can always bet the food is going to be good. The first time we came to this one, my friends and I had a "no drinking until finals are over" rule, but the second time we were like, "we need a drink." Since I hadn't had a drink in months, I was hoping my dirty martini would be perfect. Unfortunately, it was a bit strong. I'm sure some people would appreciate that (more bang for your buck) but I just wanted a lovely martini to nurse through lunch; not one that made me wince after swallowing.

Chris K.

To respond to David's comment about certain things ending up on a pizza, he hit my thoughts right on the head. What the hell is chicken doing on a pizza? Who the hell thought of that? Flat, crispy crust with a bunch of shredded chicken in tomato sauce with cheese? Huh? No thanks. I actually do like pineapple on my pizza but that's just because my mom used to be a professional Polynesian dancer and it's in my blood. But foreign objects on my pizza don't go well with me. The restaurants are clean and efficient but they're too bright and loud. I'll stick with the lower key places like Bronx. I think the Bronx employees would snicker at CPK too. And their snicker might even include one of those naughty four-letter words that only Bronx guys know how to spit out so well and so quickly....

Chelsea E.

I'm seriously surprised how under rated this place is. I haven't never been let down by a meal here. I worked in fashion valley for four years, never got sick of this place and still seek it out. My go to dish is the chicken Cesar sandwich with tortilla soup. I've had pizza and pasta here as well as salads. Everything was pretty good. If you're in fashion valley go here it's cheaper than cheese cake factory, quieter, and has a shorter wait. Unfortunately you will most likely wait almost a half hour around dinner time, I generally go to the location in La Jolla because of this.

Everything was going great. We put in our order (two pizzas). It took a little longer than I expected but no worries at this point. Towards the middle of our meal we asked the waitress (Betty) for the check as we needed to get back to work. We waited, and waited, and waited...no check. Finally my husband had to leave and I stayed behind to settle the check. Finally after another 10mins our waitress shows up with the check stating she forgot about us. I open the bill and there is another persons visa check card and bill in the bill folder. As I was getting up to alert our waitress she realized what she had done and was at our table to correct her mistake. I had never seen her move so fast. Still no bill for me at this point. Finally my bill comes and I ask for a dessert to take home and a take home box for my unfinished pizza. Easy enough right? I had also requested to take home the salsa that came on the side. I even offered to pay for extra. No problem says Betty. She came back and had boxed up my pizza but said my piece cake was not ready yet. I examined the pizza, no extra salsa..just what had been left on my plate. No bill again at this point because she had to now recalculate for the dessert. Needless to say after waiting another 5mins or so I had to get up and go to the front of the restaurant to get my bill. As I was doing so the cake in a box showed up. Unfortunately whoever decided to box the cake also put the sauce (which comes with the cake) on the cake instead of in a different container. Now my cake will be soggy unless I plan on eating it in the next 10mins which was not the case. Now I am once again waiting...this time for a new piece of cake. I am sorry to say this Betty but your waitressing skills need work and so does your sensitivity, or, lack there of, towards your customers. I usually tip at least 20%..not this time.

I have always loved CPK pizza! My DH isn't a huge fan so I don't get to go very often. My mom and I were shopping at Fashion Valley and decided to go here for dinner (since my DH wasn't with us) as she had never been. We had a really great dinner! We shared the Field Greens Salad and the BBQ chicken pizza on their whole wheat bread. Everything was really tasty and just enough for us to share. We also shared the brownie sundae for dessert! Minus one star for being a bit pricey.

To be fair I'm from Chicago so nuff said. But a client of mine wanted to go here so...I'm hoping for the hail mary order. Between the sticker shock and impending carb coma I ordered coffee. There was nothing on the menu remotely appealing or even interesting - let alone worth the money. Finally I decided to try these strange tortilla wraps and to my surprise they were OK. We weren't there during a rush and the service didn't exist. Go here to help your insomnia.

The pizza is slightly more fancy, but not too fancy. You can customize it however you need to regardless of what's on the menu. The Italian soda with the cream is fun too.

i think the food is alright or i just had a bad waiter!!! It makes a whole experience different if you have someone nice. My waiter was mocking me for sharing a drink with my little sister!!! So, what if I don't feel like drinking at the time and wanting a zip of hers???? We only ordered three dish when there's four of us. He probably thought to himself "these guys are cheap, i don't need to work hard for them." Yeah, i know its the end of the day and you get tired, but when you are still on the shift, you might want to be alert and behave because it could cause you big. SO we ordered a "full" salad and he brought out a half, we told him, the guy said,"i can get you more after you finish that one, its my fault" i was about to say, "no guy, i can pay for the full price, i don't need any free-bee." He ended up taking away two of our drinks at the end. STill it was a bad experience, it really ruined my appetite. Maybe I won't ever come back there again......Oh, did i mentioned it took him foreverrrrrr to refill my drink???/

CPK has been around for a while. It still works for me. If you're shopping or trolling around Fashion Valley or hitting a movie, this place is an alternative to the standard food court offerings nearby. Today I deviated from the staple BBQ chicken salad and went for the new Thai Crunch Salad. They seem to change their menu and add new pizzas and other items periodically. A while back I tried the more authentic italian style pizza with the crunchy flatbread. Some pizza purists would ask what the heck is such and such doing on a pizza, but I dig the various creations.

This review is for the take out / curbside. First time I ordered, they forgot my freshly shaved parmesan to put on my pasta. VERY DISAPPOINTED. Their cheese is great, and really ruined my dinner since I was craving THAT. Second time I ordered, they remembered this delicious cheese. But they forgot my cheese & red pepper packets (I asked for these packets, twice, to clarify they were different from the fresh cheese). They also didn't give me their "homemade" whipped cream on the two key lime pies I ordered. Another craving they didn't satisfy. I had to stop by a grocery store on the way home to get some whipped cream. Not the same. Couldn't even finish the pie as it's in my fridge now, two days later. I clarified with the take out order taker, twice, that I just signed up for their rewards program online and would like to use their $10 off $40 order. When I called at curbside, I confirmed my total. They did not apply my coupon. But the girl added it on quickly. The girl that brought out the food was very nice so that made me not FURIOUS about all this. Missing condiments and all. Sad. How much more can I nag at them for me to get everything I want and deserve. .

It has been so long since I've been to a CPK (I was a regular at the one in Kailua in Hawaii) decided to stop by a real CPK in California again. I really gotta work on my phrasing I came in asking if they're got 'openings' and the girl at the front handed me an application thinking I wanted to apply for work hah. We were seated promptly to our surprise but I guess its not that busy on a Tuesday night. Ordered up 2 white peaches, kung pao chicken spaghetti, and the Four Cheese Ravioli. The waitress somewhat left us in the midst of ordering but another waiter came by to get our input. It'll be the last time I eat a Four Cheese ravioli though man every one of them are packed with so much cheese its equivalent to like one cup o noodles....at least to me. I sampled some of the kung pao spaghetti and it was fantastic with just the amount of (garlic?) and other spices although the chicken tasted a bit slimy and undercooked.

I used to love going to CPK years ago! I always got their spinach artichoke dip and barbeque pizza, can't go wrong with those! I was in San Diego visiting with my boyfriend, and we were shopping at Fashion Valley on a lovely, warm Saturday afternoon. My boyfriend wanted a beer, so we decided to stop into CPK for some drinks. We sat at the bar, and the bartender came up to us with a great big smile! He was super nice and friendly. And I was superrr indecisive about what I wanted to drink (I'm such a pain sometimes). And he was patient with me and didn't rush me or gave me any attitude. I finally decided on a Carribean Sunset- sangria. And it was yummy! We weren't bothered, he gave us waters and we sat and just enjoyed ourselves. So I have to say my experience was nice! :)

I know I sound like I don't know anything about food, or I'm a tourist or something, I know, I know.....but hear me out. This place rocks. I'm sorry, but it just does. Ive been eating here forever. When I lived in Nyc, I lamely ate there every saturday night before I went to work. And this location, was just as good, food wise. The pizza, so amazing. they brought back my favorite, the garlic chicken pizza (YES!) and I love the pear Gorgonzola also. oh and the thai.....my bf likes the works, thin crust. what surprises me , is the other foods on the menu are very very good. my picks are, The chicken ceaser salad, quinoa and asparagus salad add chicken , fish tacos (they are good trust me) , the pork tacos (a little spicy) and the chips and salsa. the salsa is good! the hummus app is good,, on the healthy menu the salmon and the chicken chimichurri are delicious and light., and lastly pretty much every salad. what I didn't like, the avocado rolls (they taste like bacon, and it should mention they have that in there, vegetarians beware of this-my brother wasn't happy with that surprise) , the mac and cheese bites (fried greasy mess of cheese) and the pasta isn't anything spectacular , actually get anything but the pastas.... So the food- LOVE. I'd give 5 stars if I liked the location better. it's in a mall so parking sucks, and it's by a movie theatre so its going to be crowded and it's a family place so often times your seated by a family of 6 with kids yelling and parents who look like they just stopped caring and need a xanax so they just let them cry and throw crayons . those things can be avoided if you don't come on weekend nights and try to stay away from prime dinner times (7-8 p.m) during the week. also the place needed to be swept, we had to switch tables b/c they sat us at an obviously dirty table. and it was really cold in there. Basically come for the food- because it IS good, try to sit at a table tucked away from booths, or at the bar. oh , 1 more thing ( i have come here so much I knew the bartender he told me this....) the drinks aren't that strong. it's a lot of juice. i wouldn't spend the 10 bucks on a drink with 1.5 ounces of cheap alcohol and 90% sugar and juice. there wine selection is pretty solid too. not your usual cheap stuff, but actual decent wines (they carry dreaming tree) or try a wine flight. 3 little glasses of white or red. a neat way to try different things. nothing super fancy- like what you'd see at a wine bar, but seems like a step above what your usual chain restaurants carry. kendall jackson anyone? I havent had the dessert yet ,but it looks really good! i'll be back here, its my go to restaurant.

Place is always busy! Especially being next to a horrible food court. I work at the Lego store at Fashion Valley so I understand why the restaurants tend to be more busy. The venue is very small. I wish they had more selections on small plates since I tend to eat as much as a kid does. I got the spinach and arugula small plate salad, very delicious! Good for a starter or if you're not very hungry. Can't go wrong with their flatbread's either!

Ok there was a hair in our food, so disgusting and not surprising unfortunately. The service here is beyond bad, so bad it's almost comical, except it's more sad than anything. The drinks are ok, if the server is able to get two drink orders correct without bringing you a wrong drink somehow.. and if you're waiting for your check well hope you have some time on your hands. Obviously management here is really bad for many of the servers to be that bad, so why go there, can't think of a single reason really.

Alex G.

1) The food is good there. I liked their lemonade (I had a mango one), it could be a little less sweet, but overall it was really good. 2) The bbq chicken salad could be better. 3) However, the sign by the front door states "Buy an entree and you can purchase a $8 movie ticket". when I asked for it, they said "We are soooo sorry, but we are sold out". If this happens, why wouldn't you change the sign by the front door to something like "Buy one entree and get a movie ticket* for $8. *- while supplies last). That was the biggest disappointment.

I'm a happy girl. Let me share the secret: 1) Order online. Don't waste your time placing the order over the phone, you'll wait forever and it will probably be wrong. 2) Choose the option in-car pickup. 3) Drive to Fashion Valley mall, head over to the Bloomingdale's side, and enter Parking Structure C. 4) Drive to the top of the structure, where you will FINALLY see CPK on the second floor of the mall, and pull into one of the 5 spots marked for CPK pickup. It's genius. I love CPK and could never figure out where this one was, and invariably went to Sammy's Woodfire in Mission Valley which, I'm sorry, is NOT the same.

i have written a review for another CPK, and i don't think this one was much different, but i do have to say that i chose a different pizza this time and was much more satisfied. the chipotle chicken pizza i believe it was called, very very good.

Meiko H.

After watching Mirror Mirror, my daughter and I were hungry for a late lunch so we made a beeline to CPK. We decided to split the Salmon Caesar because I was semi-dieting and she loves sharing things with me! They didn't put enough salmon on it in proportion to how much lettuce is left after you eat the meat (about 8 medium sized chunks) but it was a good salad. Lots of fresh shaved parm and crisp buttery croutons. Good, soft, fresh house bread...yummy. You've gotta ask for the bread, though. They don't just bring it anymore...the economy, lol. I'll be back for Butter Cake after I lose 15 pounds!

So this was my 1st visit to this CPK, a restaurant chain I haven't been to in years in fact. The location is nice, in Fashion Valley mall right next to the food court. I came to Fashion Valley with my girl intending to eat there, but I have to admit I was nearly pulled into the food court because I love Rubio's lobster burrito. Back to CPK... Our server, Michael, greeted us in a timely manner and was friendly. He made some great suggestions, and seemed very knowledgeable. We ordered a couple soft drinks and a couple half salads. The half salads, priced around $9, are plenty big for an average person like myself. I had the Chicken with the peanut sauce dressing. It was fantastic. We also ordered a salad to go for my sister back home. She loved it as well. They also brought out warm bread with olive oil, which was great and a nice touch you don't see at many chain restaurants. Overall, good food and good service in a clean and modern environment makes me a fan and I will return!

I usually like CPK, but I have an issue with this location. I placed a to-go order and added goat cheese to my pizza. When I got home, there was no goat cheese on my pizza and I paid for it. They just stole $1.50 from me. Sorry CPK but you just lost my business.

Nancy H.

although our meals had good taste, I was not blown away by the CPK experience as I have been in the past. We were seated immediately in a comfy booth. Our server definitely had upselling on his mind, but it was a bit over the top and pushy in my opinion. Instead of asking if we wanted a cocktail, we were asked if we wanted this option or the other? It made me feel a bit awkward to say no. Other than that, our service was prompt and we were well taken care of. The bread that came out was hot, fresh and served with a flavorful herbed olive oil. We had the original BBQ chopped salad and the club pizza. As I was looking over the menu, I noticed how similar so many of the items are on the menu. Avocado, bacon, chicken, and strawberries seem to be the overall theme here. My salad was tasty, but tasted very similar to my husbands pizza which was disappointing since we were sharing. The hot pizza with a pile of arugula and lettuce was an odd concept that we didn't love. Granted, we knew that when we ordered it..it just sounded better than it was. Next time we come, I'll be trying one of the pasta entrees.

Bf: "Let's go to the mall!" Well, someone's excited. Me: "oh, look! CPK!" =) I love that I can count on CPK to provide good pizza and a very, very tasty (ahem: gut busting!) jambalaya. Add on a healthy California Fields salad and your lunch out at their patio with the glorious SoCal sunshine is more than A-OK! Yes. Even at the mall.
(4)
Kaye T.

My family went there 3 days ago and was very disappointed with the service and food. I ordered Jambalaya and had to return it twice. First it looked so dry, pale and had verryyy little sauce at all Second, time when I tried it, the pasta was undercooked. It was still hard and crunchy ( seriously?!) The manager (I wish he was wearing a name tag) took my order to our table without any apologies and didn't utter a word. He just put the plate down and left. I will never go back there. If only I could give negative 5 star. Horrible experience. When you want to spent quality and memorable time with your family, this is not a place to be!

Renee M.

I really wish there was a CPK nearby! I stopped in for a quick dinner before a concert, and was reminded how much I love their pizza! It's been a good couple years since I was back, but they sadly took my favorite pizza off the menu! I ordered the margarita pizza THINKING it was the one I saw all the servers carrying when they walked past! I wish they had pictures of each pizza on their menu because it was not what I ordered- my mistake for not asking darn it! It was still tasty, you can't order a bad pizza here! If you don't come for pizza, come for their SANGRIA! Oh my gosh, so amazing. Even my sister who HATES wine loved hers! She got the orange colored one, and I the red. I'm blanking on the names, but you can't go wrong with either! They come in a fishbowl like goblet, and so refreshing! I came on a weekday and the place was packed- GO SIT AT THE BAR! Attentive service and a friendly gal working behind the bar (they don't have happy hour though, oh well). Bring the one back in VISTA, CA ;)

I usually don't like to go to restaurants that I can find everywhere on the country, but I was hungry. The occasional mainstream food outing is never a bad thing. This CPK was great. Our server was excellent and always looked for ways to have us save money. She even notified us about their rewards program, which made two of our small plates free! That was awesome of her. The White Corn Guacamole was pretty good, with the sweet addition of corn. And the chips that came with it were not from a bag, they looked fried in-store, which is a plus. I also tried the Spicy Chicken Tinga Quesadilla, which was very filling for my mood at the time. If you are looking for something quick, the small plates are good. As for the meals, I thought the pizzas were kinda pricey for how much you get. Overall though, I can keep CPK in my mind for a dinner option

Sebastian F.

CPK is a pretty decent chain restaurant offering pizza and pasta. I've been to this location inside the Fashion Valley mall a couple of times and like their service and the cozy outdoor seating area. Great for people watching and sipping on your Strawberry Mojito! Food quality was good, the SUMMER STRAWBERRY SALAD being my favorite. Nothing beats a fresh salad topped with delicious strawberries! The MARGARITA PIZZA is simple but thin-crusted and tasty. Finally, the CAJUN PASTA was the heaviest dish on the table and was certainly filling - with a little bit too much Cajun if you ask me. Overall, good experience here and super friendly staff.

Tracy C.

CPK's mushroom pizza is to die for, especially when you drizzle on the truffle oil. It's a must! Another great pizza is the BBQ chicken pizza. I also like the lettuce wraps, the chicken is tasty and plenty to eat as a meal. The service is always great, the restaurant is clean and presentable.

Met up with the fam for a late lunch. I was working in the area while my favorite gals caught a silver screen presentation at the theater. I believe that the CPK lunch menu runs until 4pm. It wasn't crowded on a weekday afternoon and getting a table was easy well after typical lunch rush hours. Although the patio tables were open, the inside dining room was bustling and the bar seats were all taken. TVs were playing sports highlights. Service was pleasant and cordial. Our waiter came by a few times to check on us and refill drinks. The California Veggie pizza is a veritable cornucopia of garden fresh ingredients: baby broccoli, Cremini mushrooms, sun-dried tomatoes, eggplant, and red onions. I added goat cheese and it was great. The Mediterranean salad is delicious as well: crisp greens, diced tomatoes, sliced olives, red onion, chickpeas (aka garbanzo beans), and feta crumble. Great lunch-sized portions that can fill the tummy without the debilitating food coma afterwards. I'll be hungry again soon. CPK does a nice job of providing the relaxing sit-down restaurant alternative to the food court madness.

Sabrina O.

Food was great, I had the white pizza and ceasers salad, and the butter cake for dessert. The service was not so good, even though the server was nice, he did not remove our plates when dessert came, he did not come to offer refills not even once, and when we asked he brought only 2 instead of 3. He was just not attentive at all and didn't care to do much.

Kenna H.

Typical CPK. Weird service... Were told the table would take 20 minutes, took around 45. If the place were packed, would've made sense. But the place was quiet and nobody else was waiting! The complimentary bread and olive oil is really good, always end up eating too much of it and can't finish my actual entree! Chicken tortilla soup is very thick and not made with a chicken broth. It's good, but I would recommend only getting a cup (rather than a bowl). Jamaican jerk chicken pizza is also good, but definitely not my favorite. It's got a sweet sauce on it so I wouldn't recommend if you're not in the mood.

We were waiting to catch a movie at the AMC theater so we figured that it's gonna be a good idea to have a few drinks at the California Pizza kitchen before the movie starts . So we got in, set at the bar, Ammanda the bartender was really cool and friendly. She served the drinks and food for us. And that's why I'm actually writing this review. Because Ammanda gave us attention and cared for us as her costumers. Keep calm and keep on rocking!

I thought the pizza was descent, and so was the asparagus/arugula salad... I think that I am spoiled by the Blaze oven Pizzeria I have right by me. We were here because the movie Jurassic Park was sold out, we wanted somet hing close by. My friend said let's go here... so we did... we waited for quite a while and when we sat down, I felt so rushed by our robotic waiter. It was sub-par food and sub-par service. I did join the club and I got a free app which was the salad.

California Pizza Kitchen is one of my all-time favorite restaraunts. It was a Friday at about 3pm, so of course it was packed, but we were seated, orders taken, and served in a good amount of time. Servers were really great, and definetly earned the tip. I had the BBQ chicken pizza. it's so great! The pizzas on their menu are medium-sized, perfect for sharing -- or not :) A couple of pizzas, and a beer and another drink, and a soup, total was a bit over $40. I'd say that's a pretty resonable price, considering how much food we got. I love this place and cannot wait to go back. And I 100000% reccomend their deserts. The red velvet cake is some of the best I had. They also have a really extensive drink menu.

Been at this place many time and always satisfied with service, food and price. You might think it will take you in a while to get seated, but these guys do an amazing just and we never been waiting longer then 5 min. They always sensative to your needs and trying to make you happy and full)))))) my favorite Caramelized peach salad is just amazing and I never get tired of it. Pasta. .you can't go wrong with any pastas there, all of it is yummy! !! I recently found out that they have cabbage wrap...omg...i wish I would tried it earlier, it's soooooooo good and healthy ))))) service there is fast, and all employees are so polite and making sure you are satisfied! I would definitely come back again and again.

Jenelyn A.

I love this location! & yes, it has everything to do with the mall(parking). I usually eat at the bar here, and of course i get my usual, a caramelized peach salad with salmon paired with their only moscato. I also like the staff here, they're very nice & welcoming. I wasn't a fan until i started eating at this location. Something about being only a few yards away from all my favorite stores makes this location magical :)

I'm not one who goes to chain restaurants but I do love the Thai crunch salad from cpk, it's been a long time since I've had it and I was pretty disappointed yesterday. Cpk has changed in the last year or so, the prices have gone up a few dollars and I feel the portions have gotten smaller, I'm speaking in terms of the salads. I always have to ask for extra dressing on the Thai crunch as it's recently been really dry and maybe that's because they now have to list the calories so they're trying to keep it under 600?! This location in general needs a remodel. It's in the nicest most upscale mall in SD where they now offer seasons 52, true foods, pf changs and many other great places around the same price with a much nicer look and feel to them. The bathrooms were really dark, the tables are older and it's just not a fashion valley mall type of feeling. I understand it's better than eating in the good court and it's next to the movie theater but all the other restaurants are no further of a walking distance. The only positive I can say for yesterday's lunch was that they have improved their bread and it's truly delicious. They're old bread was just plain and the butter was hard as it had just come out of the fridge but the new bread is warm, soft and it comes with a really good olive oil and seasoning dip!

Nice to find a familiar place while on vacation. You know you can always get decent food here but it is not one of my favorite places. DECOR: Typical chain restaurant decor. Nice, clean and neat. FOOD: Pretty basic to me. Nothing too fabulous but it is good. I had shrimp Alfredo pasta. It was really good and stratified my craving. My fiance had this new jambalaya pasta that he fell in love with. SERVICE: Our waiter was so sweet. I wish I had of caught his name. Everyone was great and quick. Overall, it was nice to sit down at a place we were familiar with after a long day of traveling. One thing I really loved about this place is that is is inside the mall and right next to the movies. So we went shopping had dinner then watched a movie. Great way to end the day!

Alright, alright, I know what you're thinking..... "5 stars for a chain restaurant?". Hear me out on this one: The reason I found myself at CPK on a Thursday night was because my aunt was hosting a fundraiser. CPK agreed to donate 20% of our bill to the Cheetah Conservation Fund. Twenty percent is a nice chunk- I appreciated they were so generous with their percentage. Onto the food: My date (a.k.a. my Mom) and I agreed to split a half salad. She picked the Italian Chopped salad. Would not have been my first choice because I'm not a huge fan of salami, but man, I'm glad I let her pick. The salad was great! The salami wasn't overpowering. The salad-to-dressing ratio was on point. I guess Mom always does know best. The Chicken Tequila Fettuccine great! I usually give restaurants a "4" if I liked the food, and a "5" if I consider it "unforgettable." The dish had a lot of different flavors put together. I'd definitely get this again. On top of it all- our server was super friendly and not too "sale-sy." When he picked up on the fact that we weren't super hungry, he told us to just let him know if we wanted to look at dessert menus. He didn't bring them and try and guilt us into ordering more, which I really appreciated. Overall, CPK exceeded my expectations. Will go back, even when I'm not trying to save the cheetahs.

The food is great at CPK, but this location needs improvement in their Customer Service area. I met a friend here at 11:30am to avoid the lunch rush, hoping that we could order and eat within an hour's time, since I was on a somewhat strict timeline. It took our Server 15 minutes to come by and take our order. She rarely came back to check on us, after we got our food. When she did, she'd quickly leave without even giving us the opportunity to reply with a request. We had to ask another Server that passed by twice instead. I had to ask for the bill too. How long did our lunch take total? An hour and 40 minutes! I had to speed to my next destination.

Take out at cpk fashion valley is horrible. I ordered two chicken salads one salad hardly had any chicken in it and the other chicken Cesar salad had NO chicken. The salads were thrown together in a sloppy manner and the ranch dressing was watery. The only good part of this meal were the butter cakes. I should add that eating in the restaurant is much better than the food they give you for take out.

Trang N.

To be honest I thought this was a pizza place but they actually have a variety of foods from bomb salads, to pastas, and so much more all at an affordable price! Located at fashion valley mall , by the food court! Upon entering we were greeted by a hostess who sat us right away. Our server mike is awesome, attentive and super friendly! He refilled our waters twice without us having to ask, and he provided us with such great service and always kept checking up on us as well as asking how the food is and how everything's going every now and then . Great personality. When you have delicious dishes as well as a really good service - your whole dining experience is 100x better. We ordered pasta for our son which came with apple juice. The kids pasta I must admit is large enough for an adult! We also ordered the jambalaya fettuccine pasta and O M G if you've never tried it I highly recommend it! It consists of chicken, shrimp, and crawfish with sausage & ham with spicy Cajun sauce (it's not spicy where you can't eat it). This is large enough to share between two people, but of course if you both are hungry I would definitely order another dish to share as well. We also ordered the California Cobb salad which was really delicious for a salad! This salad has smoked bacon(yum!) , eggs, basil, herb with a choice of ranch or bleu cheese dressing. Another dish that we ordered which was really bomb is Hawaiian pizza on crispy thin crust - gluten free. Crispy and fresh , California pizza kitchen pizzas really don't disappoint!

Every time I come here I'm always so pleased with the service. Their food menu has a huge variety selection and good for any time of day. Their drinks are also good! They have an outdoor patio seating so you can enjoy their food as well as enjoy the weather. The atmosphere is very casual and laid back and I would recommend eating here for a late lunch or dinner. Definitely come see Garth, he has EXCELLENT customer service.

My family of 17, 7 being children ate here today. Excellent service from Chris, children's food came 1st and Everything was correct. Very polite and on Point Chris. Thank you from Lake Forest... I must also say that our family agrees, had we not had Chris as our waiter the experience would not have been so smooth and pleasant. You guys did very well and Chris was top notch...

Brandi T.

This is one of our regular places, especially after a long day of shopping. The food, atmosphere, and service are great here! Some of my favorites are the lobster pasta, the Cobb pizza, and the meat lover's pizza. It's a great place to bring your kids and they are also pet-friendly (as long as you sit on the patio). My only concern is that the bathroom's are WAY TOO SMALL! It's a huge restaurant and only two stalls... :P

Chris K.

Always a good, fairly inexpensive lunch here. Quality is consistent, service is not. Today our server, Chris, is amazing!! Not always the case but today is great! The food is consistent, you know what you're getting, if you like it you like it and I do. If the service was as consistent as the food I think the overall rating of this place would be higher, but I understand it isn't always perfect. However today is great food and service, so five stars

Mercy B.

Have been eating at several of their locations over the years and have always loved their BBQ Chopped Chicken Salad. Many of their other dishes are pretty damn good too...especially since they are a chain. Not a fan of ranch dressing, but theirs....I seem to like it since they also drizzle BBQ sauce on top of the salad and the two together is very tasty. Was bummed when I came back in a couple of years ago and the wonderful french bread they served was gone. In it's place was a non crusty bread I hated. I think that soured me on coming back. Well, I guess I forgot about the bread and was just craving that salad and came back in last week. Lo and behold, they got an even better crusty bread than they originally had! Yay! And served with olive oil for dipping, Mediterranean style. And that BBQ Chicken salad is just as good as it ever was. Small one is plenty if by yourself and not sharing. I also wanted to try one of their new flatbreads since they were only a little over $6 and it was decent. I've had better, but for $6 it was worth it. Nice to know some things never change.

This place is a whatever type of place not to good not to bad . I think it's horrible how they only sell 10 inch pizzas . So if u have a big family you have to by about 3 of them which are about $15 bucks each. To me it seems like a rip off. I won't be back . But hey give it a try

Easily my favorite restaurant chain! Growing up, my mom and I used to go to CPK every Saturday night. Needless to say, a part of my childhood revolves around CPK (as strange as that sounds). I've grown up with the menu and watched it evolve with changes in soups, the addition of the small plates menu and the increase in gluten free items. Pretty much anything you eat here is delicious, but here are a few of my absolute favorites. The Original BBQ Chicken Chopped Salad- This one is a classic. The blend of BBQ sauce and ranch over a mix of lettuce, tomatoes, corn, black beans and TORTILLA CHIPS is delicious! I'm not a huge meat eater so I like to substitute avocado for chicken. The California Club Sandwich-It has bacon in it. Enough said. It also comes with a soup or salad, so I always choose the Dakota Smashed Pea and Barley to add on. Thai Chicken Pizza- There was a time when they took this off the menu, but it's back and it's got such a unique flavor. It's a must try! Tostada Pizza- It's like a Mexican style salad on your pizza. The only thing is that it doesn't keep very well, so you need to finish the whole thing at the restaurant. Great for sharing! Chocolate Souflle Cake-Yes, the red velvet is to die for and the butter cake melts in your mouth, but the chocolate souflle cake will forever be the greatest dessert to every grace the pages of the CPK dessert menu. It's so chocolatey and gooey. If you don't get it with ice cream, you're doing it wrong. Clearly, I'm a CPK nut but I love this place. If we're talking location specific also, grab a seat on the patio during the day! This location has a small, but very nice outdoor seating option to enjoy.

I went here last night after the Naked3 palette release party for a dessert date and a glass of wine with my best friend. She and I have had our dessert dates at this particular CPK on numerous occasions. It's our tradition, we do some damage at Sephora and MAC then share a tiramisu, and have a glass of red wine. And this location always delivered with great service. The hostess was very friendly and enthusiastic; she smiled and greeted you upon entry, and was very hospitable. Our server was the only server on the floor. and she did a great job. She was very knowledgeable, and gave us some suggestions on some red wines that would compliment our dessert. The La Crema Pinot Noir that she suggested was delicious! I've never dined at the restaurant during the lunch and dinner rushes because the crowds of people inside and outside is intimidating. We come here once the rush has subsided, so there no wait time and we're sat down immediately. Plan accordingly if you want to dine at this CPK! Brace yourself for a wait if you want to dine during rush hours.

So rare are the occasions when you go to a place of business with high expectations and leave, feeling like they were met. This CPK location did precisely that. I came in expecting deliciously prepared food and great customer service, and thats actually what I got for once! Our server, Corina, was exponentially successful in helping my roommate make up her mind in choosing an entree, and she always answered our requests with a smile. The food was mouth watering and flavorful. The ingredients were fresh and. The presentation was beautiful. My only complaint is that my pizza came with a wad of salad on top of it and by the description in the menu, I wouldn't have guessed it'd be like that. But aside from that, my experience was pleasant and i'm stoked to go back soon!!

CPK is a great spot that you can always count on for the same quality. I love the BBQ chicken salad and always enjoy trying different pizzas.

The waiters are very friendly and accommodate to my family's needs. My sister and I don't do well with crowds so they placed us in a table as far away from the crowd as possible. The chicken bbq pizza is a favorite! It was yummy. Definitely will come back to this location.

Totally unorganized during lunch hour. Ordered takeout over the phone. Had to wait in a 50 min line despite the fact that out order was already ready. What a mess!

Had dinner here last night with friends before catching a movie next-door and we were seated immediately and greeted by a pleasant and very professional young man named Walter. We explained that we had a little bit of a time problem and were going to see a movie next-door and he indicated that they sold tickets in the restaurant to the movie theater for only eight dollars which is an incredible bargain that I did not know about! Of course we said yes and all of our food came out in a very timely and professional fashion. All was great until the main course came, and my friend bit into the pizza and found an alien piece of what initially appeared to be glass but was just a hard piece of clear plastic. Our server, Walter, handled it very professionally and immediately a lovely female manager was tableside and took care of the issue in the most professional manner I can imagine! She offered to replace the pizza which we declined, and offered us free dessert which we accepted, and when the bill came, the manager had deducted much more than was necessary or expected which elevates the service level of this restaurant to pretty much amazing! I have been in the restaurant business for 35 years and I was exceptionally impressed by the way that this whole and generally rather minor problem was handled with utmost efficiency and grace! The food over all is quite satisfactory to exceptional, and the prices are far more fair than the adjacent and overrated and always packed cheesecake factory. I recommend this place to anyone for a fair price and very good meal with great service and plenty of selection! Service is great and management is off the charts amazing!

Extremely long wait to be seated. Waiter was prompt with drinks but it took over 30 mins to get our food. Come on, that's ridiculous. The problem is the waiters have to do everything, take orders-drinks- refills and bring the food to the table. Seriously?! Where are the runners?? This shouldn't be a difficult thing to figure out in such a busy restaurant. You will turn more tables if you get the food to the table faster. The manager was extremely nice and accommodating. But I'm sure they would get a lot less complaints if the management would hire more people and work on getting food put out faster.

Ok I get it that it was a holiday weekend. However if you are open for business make it happen. The service was lousy. The waiter was hopelessly lost, barely spoke to us , left our plates all over the table, never checked back, no drink refills. Should I keep going Yup Food is going down fast. Make sure you can skimp on the food as much as you can. $15.OO for a tasteless salad. The Cobb was garbage, green hard tomatoes, a pinch of chicken, dry.I had to ask for more dressing, didn't help, watered down. flat bread pizza , ridiculous crap. The ice tea was good, would of liked more. Never got it. In fashion valley of all places, and right across from the movies. Maybe their lease is up. I don't see a future for them.

Horrible receptionist- she told us that the wait was going to be around 10 minutes, because they were waiting on tables to be cleaned up. We (5 people) waited around 30 minutes until we had to remind her that we were still waiting. As we waited during that time, she seated many people who came way after us. After we finally got seated, our waitress asked us if we wanted anything to drink, and the first drink she suggested was a peach black tea. As both my parents ordered the peach black tea, she told us that they don't currently have the peach syrup? Why bother mentioning the unavailable drink? Terrible experience at this particular location.

Seating time and service was fast and friendly prime time on a Saturday night. Our server TJ was really terrific. Who knew that CPK had the best Chile Relleno in town??? One in our group raved about it. I ordered the Works pizza with extra cheese but somehow it came out without any cheese at all. Didn't want to delay the rest of our group by sending it back. But pizza without cheese just ain't pizza! Thumbs up to CPK for responding fast & kindly to the issue.

Always forget there is a CPK close to home. The location is a good size even though it is in a mall. This was my first time; everyone was friendly. The waitress came over right away to take our order and was very attentive. I got the 1/2 California Fields Salad and Crispy Mac & Cheese. The salad was light, fresh and crisp. The watermelon and strawberries were juicy, the pistachios gave it a good crunch and the feta cheese was a good addition. All on top of baby greens, arugala and mint - I will get the dressing on the side next time; it was a light housemade Champagne vinaigrette but way over-dressed. The mac & cheese was a great surprise; little bites fried in bread crumbs with a cheese sauce on the plate. Comes with 4 pieces and was a perfect side to the salad. Overall a good experience!

This place is one of the busiest CPK in SD. It's right at FV Mall, across the AMC theater. It usually takes 20 to 35 mins before you get seated. Its an excellent place if you're not too hungry, good for small bites. Went here with BF after watching a movie. Love the new dessert, I think its seasonal but love the berries. DELICIOUS. Ergo, I gave them overall rating of 3 stars. Long wait is 2 stars Food other than dessert are 3 stars. Dessert is 5 stars Service 4 stars, I kept on getting my Mango Iced Tea refill.

Do NOT order the gluten-free crust! It tasted like a sponge and was probably frozen for ever. This place is just no good, the only reason we visited this establishment was because we received a gift card. The three stars are for our server. He was friendly, attentive and was the only good thing about our experience! I like to eat real and fresh food and there was nothing fresh or real about the items we ordered. I ordered a side salad which was O-K and a pizza. Yuck!

I was so disappointed with our experience at this CPK. One of the great things about CPK is their consistency. However this particular location leaves much to be desired. First, let me say, our server Colby was awesome. He was fast, courteous and responsive. Shortly after we ordered our food, we noticed that there was a stream of ants crawling across the windowsill which was really really dirty. This windowsill looked as if it had not been cleaned in weeks. There were literally dead insects on the windowsill covered in dust in addition to the ants. As soon as we noticed the ants, we asked if we could move, and Colby was super in accommodating us and helping us get moved to our new table. After we moved, someone came and reset the two person booth that we had just left. They then proceeded to seat another couple at the booth. We were confused because we noticed that the windowsill had not actually been cleaned. After a few minutes, those people also requested to be moved. Even after both parties mentioned the ants, no one came and cleaned the booth windowsill. We had to sit at the table nearby the whole time, knowing that the ants were still running wild. While Colby did an excellent job accommodating us and serving us, at no time did a manager come to speak with us or apologize. Nor did anyone do the same for the other party who had to be moved. Additionally, as we left, we mentioned the problem to the manager standing at the host stand and still received no apology. In fact after we mentioned in, we walked around the corner where we could still see inside and the manager never left the host station to even investigate. As always, the food was delicious. We had the Mushroom, Sausage and Pepperoni Pizza and split the Barbecue Chicken Salad. Both were really good, and up to par with our regular CPK experiences. And I highly recommend the Agave Mojito, it was superb. I don't think I will ever patronize this CPK again, as it was clear that cleanliness is just not important to the staff in general. I would probably have given this review only 1 star if it weren't for the great service from Colby.

This place has somewhat become a staple in my routine. The food is decent for a reasonable price. And the service is usually spot on. Today, however, has made me not want to come back. I went in with my boyfriend for a quick dinner and we asked the hostess (Sarah) for a table for two. She told us that they were cleaning a booth and that we would be seated momentarily. We sat off to the side while waiting for the table as to not get in the way of the people coming and going. While we were waiting, we watched her seat three separate couples who came in AFTER us. We tried to get her attention but she flat out ignored us. It'd be one thing if she didnt see or hear us but she made eye contact and turned the other way. Rude, rude, rude. Won't be coming back. Thanks Sarah.

Always a fun time. Great food, great service, great ambiance. If you cannot decide on which pizza to order, you can order a half and half, it is a great way to try multiple pizzas during your visit. Reasonable price on the pizza, pasta, and kids menu. Some adult beverages are a bit over priced for what you get. Other than that CPK always offers a fun night out.

I was up at 4 this morning with a fussy toddler and did not get back to sleep before a day at the zoo, so, suffer my wrath. After the zoo my wife wanted some CPK. We called in the order - White Pizza with NO bacon, Club Sandwich with NO mayonnaise. Pretty SIMPLE, right? What do we find when we get home? Well, we find a White Pizza WITH bacon and a Club Sandwich WITH globs of mayonnaise. I HATE mayonnaise, and my pregnant wife's palate was telling her 'You know, I don't think bacon will taste too great right now" but thanks to CPK for loading it up anyways. At least we paid with a gift card, which may have resulted in a 2-3 star review if not for my rough morning and EXTREME hatred of snotty mayonnaise. So, great job CPK, my dog really enjoyed that mucus puss bread.

This review is unfortunate for me because I love CPK but I haven't received good service on countless occasions. Last week when I dined there our server never came around to check on us and ask how our food was. We had to flag her down every time we wanted to order more apps or wine. At the end of dinner she also charged my card twice (wasn't a small bill) and never thought to return it or let let me know. I noticed the additional charge almost a week later. I called and the manager helped out right away and actually mentioned the server's error and that this should have been caught earlier. Interesting.

Horrible service. Food tastes like every other cpk, nothing special. But beyond disappointed with it taking 30 minutes to get a drink on a Wednesday afternoon. Not busy at all. Host was very nice and brought us our drinks(not his job) everyone else was not helpful and borderline rude. No tip for you. Staff seems dis functional and not on the same page

I love CPK and I must say I don't go add often as I use to. I always get their white corn guacamole or classic caesar with the white pizza. Today I was having a date night with the Boyfran amd I let him choose the restaurant. He chose CPK at Fashion Valley because we planned to go watch Maleficent right after and there's an AMC a couple feet away. The service was pretty good. Our waiter was very attentive. He came by to take our drink and appetizer order once we got seated. We were regularly checked up on and he was on top of our drinks (more so my Boyfran's drink because I only had 1 cup).. And the food came out in a timely manner. The food was good. I have no complaints. They havethe best croutons for their caesar... Side note: It seems like CPK had changed their uniforms. I really liked the whole put together waiter uniform from before and I came in to see them wearing different color casual button ups and jeans. What happened? It just doesn't look as professional. That's all.

Lousy experience all around. We called ahead to get our name on the wait list. Female who answered sounded very unwelcoming and disinterested. She quoted us 25 minutes. We got to the location a little early and checked in or at least attempted to. The portly, plain Jane hostess gave us an attitude. I told her we had called in ahead of time and she seemed to be in disbelief. At first, she said there was no record of my calling in. But then I noticed my name on the wait list. When I pointed this out to her, she seemed skeptical, stating, "This doesn't look like a call in." Truly bizarre reaction and accusation. Do you not want us to patronize your mediocre restaurant? We waited quite a while after that point. Nearly 50 minutes after my call, the portly hostess calls us. She notices we have a small child and then berates us in front many other guests with words to the effect of the following: "You should have told me you had a child. Now you will have to wait longer. A child counts as a person." Gee whiz, what a complete failure of customer service and professionalism. At last, the portly waitress seats us but only after 25 minutes beyond the wait we were promised. On the bright side, the food was decent and the server was much more friendly and on top of things. We still waited well over 30 minutes for food, however. I think the only way I'd return to this CPK is if there is no wait to be seated and the portly, unwelcoming slug of a hostess is not perched in front of the door.

Just called to get our team in to eat. CPK is a great choice for us and every road trip we go on there has been a manager who has found a way to accommodate us in some way. Not this time. Credit manager Gil for a job not well done.

The Habanero Carnitas pizza is really good and its the main reason I come to CPK. Besides that, its just like every other moderately priced large chain. Mediocre food, mediocre service, mediocre prices. Its good for an easy dinner if you're at fashion valley and want something relatively easy.

Usually I don't like to write reviews on food places at the mall. But I love the food here! The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is cause the host we had was a complete jerk. Joseph the host was awful. No customer service what so ever. Extremely rude and should not be in the food industry. Our waiter was amazing and food was great. Joseph if you read this, please resign from your job. You are awful in your role
