California Pizza Kitchen At Lakewood

It had been a while since I had enjoyed lunch or a meal by myself. I had to wait for a table at 11:30, not because the place was crowded, but due to the staff's slow service. I almost wish I had noticed this sooner and left. However, the food was excellent! Despite the wait, I would definitely return.

I had the BBQ chicken salad. It was delicious and my son loved his pepperoni pizza.

The server didn't really want to serve. The food was surprisingly good though!

This rating is as much for the excellent service that I always receive here from Vanessa, she's the best! She?s been at this location since it first opened, and she is very friendly and helpful?and is very good about remembering small details about returning customers. Very nice touch! Apart from the awesome service, the food is also very good and tasty too! CPK has a generous rewards system for those that join the program, which is free. The Avocado egg rolls are such a great appetizer here, and the chocolate soufflé and butter cake desserts are also a delicious and sweet way to cap off a meal

However, the food was quite enjoyable. We ordered the Spicy Honey Bee Focaccia without ham, and it was delicious. The cheese and tomato pizza was also very good. Additionally, we tried the California Fields Salad and a Watermelon Splash, both of which we loved. We finished our meal with a delightful Strawberry Shortcake that we thoroughly enjoyed. The restaurant itself was very clean, which added to the overall positive experience.
