I've been to many CPKs cross the east coast and this one has the best service, the food is just as good. If you're looking for a casual meal this is a great place.

Went here for the first time tonight. Not a bad place to eat if you're looking for some tasty pizza.
LOCATION: Nice location, next to the mall so you can do some shopping after you eat.
DECOR: Cute decor, very casual but at the same time neat and clean. Soft lighting.
FOOD/DRINK: I ordered a BBQ Chicken pizza which was pretty tasty. It was around $13, kind of pricey considering the pizza was very small. It definitely was filling though if your eating just 1 pizza to yourself and not sharing. It's definitely not really "authentic" NY, italian pizza but its still pretty good./ I ordered a mango mojito which was $7. It was kinda pricey for that too considering the glas was very small, but it was a delicious drink.
SERVICE: Very friendly waitor, helped with my thoughts on what pizza I should order. -

I might be me but i am not a fan of their pizza. The pizzeria around that area is better and has better deal.

I really like their pizzas. The taste is just sensational and there are so many fun pizzas to choose from. Their side salads also just fix my salad craving before I dig into the actual pizza. We've experienced solid service, albeit our visit was not during peak hours. My glass was consistently full and that's hard since most of my friends think I need a diet coke IV.
The ambiance is nothing special but there are plenty of comfy booths and ample tables. Some of their drink specials looked yummy but I haven't tried any yet. My only complaint is that I find the pizzas can be pretty pricey. So don't go in with the typical "pizza bill" in mind, it will likely be more. That being said, they do use more gourmet type ingredients on some of their pizzas. In total, I'm a fan! -

Mediocre pizza, poor service.
I expected a little more flavour and pizazz from my Hawaiian pizza, but got neither except for one awkward bite where it tasted like some hot sauce had been accidentally spilled. Fiancée's pear salad pizza seemed to be better, but the caramelized onions put her off a bit.
But the service. This guy seemed to be in some kind of rush the whole time. There were plenty of empty tables, and none of the rest of the wait staff seemed to be in a rush. Our empty dishes weren't bussed right away, sometimes not at all. I had to remind the guy about my drink order. And as we are still eating he brings us over the check and says "Not to rush you guys...." I quickly asked for a dessert menu to stall for more time, and he brought it over and had to explain what his favourite dessert items were. And which ones he didn't like. Thanks, buddy. We skipped dessert and took our time getting out of there, because why rush? We're the ones paying. -

This place completely sucks! One of the worst dining experiences. Our first time there and the food was mediocre, nothing special at all. The portion size was also ridiculously small and way over priced!
I can order "one" slice of REAL pizza elsewhere that is larger then their whole pie! And for only $1.75!!! The pizzas here average $12-$15 each. Absolutely ridiculous!! The service was even more horrid!
Please don't waste your money like we did. Went there with my wife and we thought "let's try it". It was so not a good idea. They over charged us for a combo pizza. We told the waitress it was our first time, and she told us we could mix two half pizzas to make one pie if we wanted. No mention of an extra charge for that, so we ordered thinking it was a good way to try out what they have. The service was slow, and when the bill came out it was insane! They charged us almost double the price of one pizza for two half pizzas! The pizzas are already very pricey. After asking why it was so high, they said they charge extra for mixing two half pies to make one. Being that the waitress never told us that little tidbit of info, and knowing it was our first time, we thought they would just correct the mistake. Nope! she apologized and said she would talk to the manager. No manager in sight, she just comes back with another bill for the most expensive pizza we ordered! It wouldn't have been a problem except the other half pizza we ordered was the cheapest on the menu! How is that fair? The manager never made an appearance, the food was average, and the large bill for lame tasting pizza with shotty service left us completely disgusted.
You have to understand that this place sells designer pizza, and they are charging for a special experience. I could make a lot better designer pizza at home, I'm completely serious. This place is a joke. -

I knew going into this place that I was going to hate the food. Its a theme restaurant.
Its my sister in laws birthday and we all decide to come here for dinner. I look at the menu and they have barfy sounding $13 indivdual pizzas. Thai pizza? Gag me. The pizza in New York City is the best pizza in the entire world, I'm not going to eat pizza in Long Island on the weekends because of places like this with its fake brick oven. I'll save it for when I go into the city.
Anyway, I order a $14 salad and my wife orders a Basil pizza so we can split both the salad and pizza.
The $14 salad was ok but the pizza? For pizza made in a brick oven it was horrible. It was really doughy and undercooked. I'd rather eat pizza at Cosmos Pizza in Stony Brook and I hate that place.
I love Disneyworld, we're going on vacation in August. I'll eat at the theme restaurants then.
Pass on this place, its too expensive and not worth the $$ or calories. Save the brick oven pizza making for the professionals in NYC. -

Okay I am not one for themed pizza. Growing up in New York, I never had to settle for less than average, chain pizza - thank the good lord. I was totally hesitant to eat at California Pizza Kitchen, infact, I dead out refused to go, since I know I can get a good pie right around the corner from my house at the same price California PIzza Kitchen charges for an individual pie.
I was wrong, I said it. One of the few times I will admit this - I am freaking hooked. The Garlic Herb Roasted Chicken Pizza is DELICIOUS!!!!!!!!! I crave it!! This is not chain pizza, it is not New York pizza, but it is not chain pizza. It doesn't taste like a cardboard box, it tastes like heaven! HA! I have tried a few other pizzas, but will not stray from my favorite. The wait staff is friendly, and their drinks are VERY good - try the appleberry sangria mmm!!
The atmosphere is great, I like to eat my pizza at the bar in front of the open flame, brick oven! :) -

overall a very good dining experience. the menu is waaay more than pizza by the way if you didnt know. anyways, i had recommended CPK as an alternative to where my family wanted to go (Cheesecake Factory), so I was very glad the wait was as described.
i wanted to write in specifically to say how impressed we all were with our waiter 'Jase'... the restaurant was very busy and was closing early being new years day. He was extremely polite, friendly and patient (we changed our order and asked to re heat one item). He definitely impressed our whole family with his demeanor and efficiency. Thank you for a great experience.
