I like Pizza, and yet, this place sucketh.

I really don't get this place.  1st, it's expensive (it's a Pizza place, get over yourselves).  2nd, the pizza isn't that good, yet it's always packed!!

The food quality is inconsistent and generally not reflective of the price on the menu.  

Service can also be spotty, ranging from overly pompous (wine pairing with my pizza?  Seriously?  Thats how you think I'm going to pay you $60 for a bottle at a Pizza place?) to outright non-existant.

CPK may have been new and interesting 15 years ago, but now it's just a place to get robbed while eating mostly flavorless pizza.

Sadly, this is probably some of the best pizza you can get in Atlanta.  WHAT DOES THAT TELL YOU ABOUT ATLANTA PIZZA THEN!?

The traffic was abysmal one fine, pouring rain evening (like it isn't abysmal in Atlanta anyway on sunny days), so we thought to ourselves "get stuck in traffic for 2 hours and come home at 9 pm starving or just run into the 1st restaurant we see and eat and THEN go home?" CPK is decent but so over priced it makes me want to barf.  Speaking of barf, sometimes your food tastes like barf, but most times it's pretty good.  I would stay away from the boring standards like pepperoni and get the crazy shit because that's what this place is known for right?  Except for the Ragin' Cajun or whatever it's called.  Actually, I think the Ragin' Cajun is a ride at Six Flags Great America, but I digress!  That pizza was stank!  It was booooooooring to the max.  Nothing very Cajun or ragin' about it, it wasn't even very spicy.  However, the new Indian curry pizza was really good for CPK!  It had large chunks of ripe mango and a sweet curry sauce.  

Don't kid yourself into thinking this is a nice place to eat, it's just like a Chili's or TGIF except it's pizza.  You poor suckers in the ATL, not knowing what real pizza is.  I weep for you!

This place is enjoyable for a chain restaurant.  The decor is kinda modern California sleek style..maybe kinda 80s, but OK.  I LOVE me some Thai Chicken pizza...makes good leftovers in the office microwave the next day, too.
