California Pizza Kitchen at Valencia

California Pizza Kitchen has a likeable diverse menu.
Recently, I ordered the California Fields salad, it was loaded with strawberries, watermelon, greens and pistachios. I absolutely loved this salad! I did have to take half of it home for dinner.
We have ordered from the lunch combo options.
If you desire a lighter meal, I think you will like these selections.
You will find pizza, sandwiches, soups, salads and pastas.
For a bigger appetite, don't fret, there is plenty to choose from, including a burger, if you desire.
I finally found a restaurant with lighter fare that I do not need a to-go box to take food home in.
(My husband gets tired of cardboard, styrofoam and plastic containers filling our frig.
because I do not want to waste restaurant-bought food).
Besides the fact I like the portion options, the food was quite tasty.
Our server was the best.
She was friendly, on top of our drinks and absolutely made our meal even better.
We will definitely return! Be sure to look at the additional seasonal menus on your table for even more choices.

We always get a good and consistent meal at any CPK location and after a few years of ordering delivery from our local store we finally had the chance to dine in person.
It was a great experience.
The food was on par with what we had at other locations, the service was great and everyone was happy. We especially appreciate that there are gluten-free options.
My wife enjoyed her mushroom pizza on their gluten-free crust. I especially enjoyed the Neapolitan Burrata Pizza...a limited-time special which was on par with the pies that we recently had in Naples Italy.
(Though cooked a little longer than they do there so you could actually pick up the slices and not have to fork and knife it. Our kid who, wasn't in the mood for pizza, liked the Garlic Cream Fettucini With Mushrooms and it's good to know that, despite the fact that it's got "pizza" in the name, it's a restaurant with a full menu of things to choose from so there are options for everyone of every diet. We also love that they partner with local organizations to help raise funds.
We were brought to the spot because it was a fundraiser for a group we're involved with and a percentage of our bill was donated to the organization.
Thanks CPK for the community-minded partnership. P.S.
They also have really delicious vegetarian soup options!

The food is delicious.
We had a confirmed catered event and they canceled 25 minutes before it should have arrived because they did not have a deliverer.
When we called back they had options for delivery?! I said I would pick up.
I had to wait past the promised time and when I picked it up I asked if they included the number of plates we asked for they said they were out when I asked how they were going to eat the salads, they provided me with take out containers.
When I set up the order there was no serving utensils!
