Went in the evening on a Sunday and it was kinda dead, which for us was great, No wait service. Drinks were tasty, I loved the avocado rolls. We had a few menu items and took advantage of a special take n bake pizza which was perfect since by the time we got home we found ourselves a lil hungry.

We don't have CPK in Australia so we really love eating here. We've eaten twice this stay at the SF store. Our server both times was Kevin and he was a really great host and a lovely young man to chat with. On the first night, it was clear the store was understaffed for the number of customers but everyone worked hard and got the job done. We have no complaints of this store. We loved the food and it's always a treat for us to eat here.

For starters, we ordered the sweet chili shrimp and Mexican corn. The shrimp were done to a delicious crisp and layered with savoury sweet chilli sauce which paired great with the salad underneath. The corn exceeded expectations and was full of flavour which paired decently well with the toast. For mains we ordered the Hawaiian and the Sicilian pizzas. The execution of the pizzas were on point with thin crust, the toppings and the value. Freshly hot and simply delicious. As for service, Fernando did a great job serving and checking in on us; quick and direct gentleman. Will definitely be coming back to experience it again with different menu items…

Typical chain, but it never disappoints. It's been about 3 years that I've eaten at a CPK, and they still go strong! Always order the Cajun pasta and Alfredo, which were tasty and fresh. Staff are always hella cool, extremely kind, attentive, and professional. Idk if it was me, or what, but the drinks were going down too!

Ornate restaurant-bar with indoor seating. This place was almost completely empty when I stopped by. It was my first time inside, but I knew I wanted the chicken tequila fettuccine after trying it somewhere else. I walked through the restaurant to the takeout counter to order and my total was about $23. It took about 13 minutes and the food was delicious as expected. It came with some bread, seasoned olive oil, and grated parmesan. I highly recommend the chicken tequila fettuccine. In my opinion, the portion was pretty big. I would've preferred a smaller portion and paying less. Unfortunately, I forgot to take photos of the food.

We were so hungry that we didn't take pictures of the food. The food is very tasty, sufficient in quantity and at a good price. Excellent tomato soup, as well as lemonade. Before the order arrived, t…

I blame my friends from the Suburbs for why I even ate here. It's always friends from the suburbs who convince you to go to California Pizza Kitchen. I tried to take them to Empire Pizza to eat what I deem as the most authentic New York Style Pizza but they didn't feel comfortable sitting down anywhere until we walked by a familiar face, California Pizza Kitchen. So blame them for why this place got a review. Is reviewing California Pizza Kitchen pointless? Not at all. As a matter of fact, Jack, I have had California Pizza Kitchen in so many different places I can't even keep track. Here's the thing about them though - they deliver. You can eat all the great Pizza in the World and California Pizza Kitchen is still solid. They even make solid frozen Pizza considering they have also been known to butcher Pizza by putting toppings that make any Pizza purist want to puke. That being said, I have always enjoyed food from California Pizza Kitchen and now that I am a Top 10% Pizza Reviewer and I have tried 85 Pizza Establishments in San Francisco since May 2022 Alone, My 2 Cents are obviously valued. So here they are; Why did I not give them 5 stars? Number 1 reason, although the wait staff is nice, at times it feels like they are not even listening to what you are saying. Do not even ask them questions about the food, they can hardly hold a conversation. While this is the case, they do deliver on the Parmesan Cheese when you ask for them to give you a side of it. They really do. Why else did I not give them 5 stats? Because 5 Stars are reserved for legendary Pizza like Tony's, Cafe Zeotrope, PizzaHacker, Cellarmaker House of Pizza, Capo's, Longbridge Pizza Company, Pizzeria Delfina etc. not chains like this. That's all. That's really all. Even bringing up those other places makes me feel like maybe I should lower CPK down to 3 stars really. So I will stop writing this Review now before I change it because CPK is good. So thank my Suburban Friends for this review, San Francisco. Thank them. I didn't want to do this. They wouldn't allow me not to Review CPK.

Surprisingly, this was my first time trying California Pizza Kitchen. I had a tomato soup for dinner to warm up on a chilly December evening. It was exactly what you’d expect from a tomato soup, comforting but nothing fancy.

I ordered a gluten-free pizza. I have become accustomed to cauliflower crust so this was great. I hate gluten-free bread crust. Pizza tasted great.

CPK is a long established chain pizza restaurant, and this is the 4th location I’ve been too. The great thing about a chain, is you can expect to receive the same quality and service in most locations, and this one is no different. It’s not mind blowing pizza, but it is tasty, and they do offer some pretty unique combos. One strong suit of CPK is their salads. They are large, fresh, and their chopped salads are always great. Went with the banh mi salad this time, which didn’t really remind me of a banh mi all that much, but it was Asian inspired and tasty. Of all the great pizza places in SF, this would not crack my top 10, but my wife had never been and it was on the way to our date destination so I said why not.

I got the lunch duo (pizza/pasta with soup/salad) for 11.99 (this is available over the weekends as well). The inside is HUGE but it made me wonder why it was so empty on a Sunday afternoon. The staff were friendly. The food was not amazing. There was something about the entire place that felt old fashioned or “classic” instead of a modern, clean, and neat feel.

Very nice restaurant in downtown San Francisco. Food was very good and reasonably priced for SF. Our server Karen was very attentive and helpful.

It’s a nice place, it prepares a delicious pizza with a lot of variety of options, great hamburgers and waiters and waitresses are really kind. The price is good.

We had a pretty bad experience with the food, however, manager seems to be one of the most experienced manager. All I can say is he really acted like a professional... been here before and has always been great, but it was one of those super busy days.

Pizza, Pastas and many more options. Also juice, soft drinks with multiple refill option. Food wise, would not recommend for vegetarians. Limited menu and not clearly highlighting ingredients for Vegetarians or Vegans. For others, there are ample of options. Thanks.

We went on Monday July 8, 2024 at 7 30pm. The place was not full. Many empty tables. We waited for 15 minutes to get seated. Then another 10 minutes until a waiter showed up. Some people went straight to the bar to sit and were able to order right away. Looks like two employees are doing all the work and another one we saw standing just around. Kevin did his best by managing tables and the bar. Whoever manages this place is not doing a good job! The california veggie pizza crust had a good flavor but was soggy. We order the summer field salad which would have been great if it would not had way too much dressing.

Average not so cosy restaurant. The menu was ok and also friendly staff. The pizzas were not so great. Overall an average experience.

Ordered a takeout at 53 3rd street, San Francisco branch. Horrible service and food. Ordered GARLIC CREAM FETTUCCINE and Mediterranean sandwich. There is nothing creamy about the garlic cream fettuccine. It is just pasta sitting in a puddle of white water. Horrible taste. It was like eating card board. The hummus sandwich was not great either. The olive tapenade was very salty. I will not suggest folks to go here.
