California Pizza Kitchen

love cpk
i always have the original bbq chopped salad.
love the white sangria.
my problem with the restaurant in coconut pt is upkeep.
its areally busy restaurant and its beginning to look dog eared.
customers shouldnt see big tears in the upholstery or sticky tables,
or pealing wallpaper in the ladies room.
its almost summer, youll have time to gets things done during fl slow season.

Worst service ever didn’t even want to leave a tip she was busy chatting with her friends rather then taking care of customers never again forgot her name Ar. Something you could tell she didn’t want to be there at all

I’ve loved this place since I discovered it in the San Francisco Peninsula in 1996. My favorite thai chicken pizza is sweet and tangy with a light puffy crust. Tried the new Moscow Mule last weekend, less gingery and overly sweet. Bit watery at $ 9.
Good ambiance, halogen lighting, big booths, dark elegant décor.

Service very slow, confusion about which waiter was actually taking our table. Food is o.k. not great, gave it three tries. Won’t be back.

An average meal. Went with 14 people and had many of their dishes. Before we ordered were told certain chicken dishes were already out. Best dish was the tortilla soup. Service was fantastic but the food is only average.

Not impressed. Very poor service. Appetizer was cold. They served it without silverware or plates. Had to ask a different server for drink refills. When they finally brought plates out, they were dirty and our appetizer was already gone. We had to eat it over our napkins. Pizza finally came out and it was ok. Found this place to be over priced pizza with poor service.

The best salad you will find in the area… Very attentive, courteous staff, and a strong focus on food quality. Pizzas all hand made to order, and have never disappointed since we have been dining here from 2008.

We have been to California Pizza Kitchen’s twice that I remember. Not impressed with either location. I guess it is just not my wife and my type of pizza. We will not return. There was nothing really wrong with our food just nothing really pleasing (to us). We feel we could go elsewhere and get something we like better for less money.

This was a go-​to place for us last season, easy and good for a casual dinner, always nice service.
We returned this week.
Salads were again very good and service was pleasant.
Drink and wine prices were incredible; our two drinks cost as much as our two meals.
Feels like a bit of a rip-​off.
CPK is off our list…

Awesome customer service!!! Food is great but it always jacks up my stomach idk what it is about their food I’m not overly sensitive it something happening.

We love a good pizza and it had been a long time since we had visited a CPK. While at the mall, we decided to stop for an early dinner. The restaurant is very nice, clean and inviting. There were plenty of servers getting ready for the dinner crowd but the restaurant was pretty empty when we arrived. We had no wait to be seated or for our order to be taken.
We ordered a couple ice teas and an Hawaiian pizza with a thin crust. The pizza was good but the ingredients were very sparse. There were hardly no scallions, very little pineapple and the ham pieces were few and far between. Obviously, CPK is not the place to order a pizza. We’ve had much, much better almost every place else. Considering the size of the pizza and the ingredients, it was pretty expensive for what we got.
Service was ok. I received a refill on my tea but my husband never did. This place does serve a lot more than pizza and that’s probably what we should have ordered.

We eat at cpk on a regular basis. Love the variety of the menu (pizza, salad, soups). Appreciate they are dog friendly and enjoy sitting on the patio. Quality of the food is consistently great and always receive great service. Love the lunch menu as well!

Food was ok.
Guacamole and chips, tasty but hardly enough for even one person. Side salad is massive, but ultra pricy for lettuce. And pizza was good.
Way over priced.
Did not appreciate them sneaking a charity line into the bill
I don’t see myself going back.

Try this restaurant for the first time this week
first the individual who met us at the door was smiling and made you feel welcome
Then we got a waitress who was absolutely wonderful explained everything and was extremely helpful and kept coming back all at the right time
we had 3 different meals and all three of them were outstanding
tried the potato soup and it was delicious
highly recommend this restaurant to everyone

Nothing special, food was okay, we had the spinach artichoke pizza with chicken. Needed more flavor. The chips that came with the spinach artichoke appetizer were stale and lacking any flavor. I didn’t even taste any salt on them. The food passable, the service abysmal. Sat for 10 minutes before someone came to get our drink order. Restaurants need to understand there is a lot of competition out there and if you can’t treat your customers right you will lose business. I can occasionally overlook a meal that isn’t just so but when it comes to service it should be top notch.

Delicious. I mentioned on a review of Pizza 2000 in left Myers fl that gourmet and pizza doesn’t go together, I was wrong obviously. It depends on who does gourmet and CPK has it. The only issue was the presentation of the salad and our run of the mill get your food and pay me college student with no personality but I owe it to the fact that they were almost at capacity.
If I had a pen for the place it would be like this:
Oh CPK, you had me at pizza, not at hello.
The waitress was a mess
But the food was not so so.
I enjoyed the bite so much
That I took it home and ate the last slice
The same night :-)

Tonight’s stunk soo badly. I don’t know what happened but the pizza was bad. The bread was stale and CPK is slowly going down hill

My daughter wanted to go here and it was a slow day in September.
I had not been here for a year or so and used to enjoy.
We were so disappointed in the quality of the food.
We had spinach dip which came out Luke warm.
It lacked a good quality and was bland.
Ordered a Cobb salad and there were only 3 small pieces of chicken in salad.
The salad dressing was good.
Just felt like it was processed food and not made fresh.
Had to wait a while to get check.
Disappointed.

California Pizza Kitchen, Coconut Point Mall, Estero FL
I love pizza, and I will probably blog a lot about how much I love pizza, and the first day staying at Hyatt Regency Coconut Point in October 2014, we decided to eat at California Pizza Kitchen before we browsed the shops at the Coconut Point Mall.
The place looked great, nice interior and we sat outside on the terrace, which had a nice view of the outer side of the mall.
The menu had lots to choose from and a big variety of pizzas and pastas. Even gluten free pizzas.
I ordered the BBQ Chicken Pizza and my girlfriend ordered the White Pizza (if I remember correctly!) and for starters (or entrée) we ordered Asparagus & Arugula Salad as we had a voucher for a free entrée when signing up to receive the CPK newsletter.
The pizzas were nice, although, I wish I ordered a pizza with a flat thin base as I am no longer fond of the big crust pizzas. However, they are freshly made and have a great variety.
Overall, I think the price is a little much for the quality. Like I said, I love pizzas and I have tasted better for less. That being said I would revisit CPK next time I am in Florida or the USA.

I am addicted to the Thai Crunch Salad so I can’t attest to the pizza. I love that salad and feel good about eating it. Fresh and crunchy, have them add avocado and you are set. Two people can barely eat a full sized order. With the chewy bread and herbed olive oil, this place was a great stop on a long shopping day.
I’m not sure why there have been so many poor reviews. The service was without the smallest issue and the server anticipated needs and was very thoughtful. C’mon people, it’s CPK! Give me a break!

We had a great experience there the other night! First of all, CPK is great to work with for fundraisers and donate 20% to non-​profits for a certain day when people bring in a flyer.
We had a great server, named Lexi, and she blew our minds when we couldn’t decide between two pizzas and she said you can have a pizza split with both toppings! It was such a great decision! And our waitress suggested the butter cake. Best. Decision.Ever. It’s not something I would picked from the dessert menu, but it was fantastic! Always a fun place with great stuff to try!
