Editorial Review for California Pizza Kitchen – by Andrea Loera
In Short
Houston's third location of CPK dresses up for River Oaks with natural stone, brick and glossy wood accents and features a spacious granite counter with barstool seating. The signature open kitchen remains as do thin-crust hearth-baked pizzas with innovative toppings from Asia, Latin America and the Southwest; trademark pizzas like the Original BBQ Chicken and Jamaican Jerk Chicken compete with old standbys like pepperoni and traditional cheese. Pastas, salads, soups and sandwiches round out the menu.

User Reviews for California Pizza Kitchen

I couldn't tell you if the food is good or not... I never got to find out. I arrived at the restaurant right at 8pm on a Thursday night. I was promptly seated and left a menu. I read the menu carefully cover to cover in a span of about 15 minutes, with out even my drink order being taken. I tried to politely catch any of the staffs eyes, but they all avoided my gaze. After the passive, polite approach failed, I tried to hail the passing wait staff, who were not busy at all as only 5 of the tables had customers in the whole restaurant and there were at least that many waiters. After 25 minutes of being ignored, unserved, unacknowledged, I left the restaurant. Who knows if the food is any good here? But the service is LITERALLY non existent. I really enjoy the frozen pizzas made by the parent company California Pizza Kitchen, and I was looking forward to trying the freshly made variety, but now I will never know. I refuse to ever attempt to eat there again and I will be sure to warn everyone I know to avoid it like the plague.
Pros: Beautifully designed restaurant
Cons: Litterally No service
