Discover the California Pizza Kitchen
Looking for local flavor? Try the California gourmet pizza restaurant that spawned a growing chain!
In the slide show above, you're viewing pictures of California Pizza Kitchen restaurants in California and the Southwestern USA. Visitors to Southern California may not have heard of this popular and unique chain of adventuresome pizza restaurants. On this page, you'll discover a bit about the CPK restaurants, and where you can find one on your visit to Southern California.
What's on the menu at CPK?
While visiting the greater Los Angeles area, would you like to try out a restaurant which features an original California-style cuisine? If so, the California Pizza Kitchen will offer you the unique dining experience for which you're looking. The most important thing to know about the menu at a California Pizza Kitchen restaurant, if you're about to dine at one of their locations for the first time, is that their menu doesn't serve "traditional" pizzas. You know...at a pizzeria, you'd expect to get a pizza whose crust is brimming over with tomato sauce, pepperoni, sausage, and mushrooms, then covered over with a thick layer of cheese. Right? Well...that's certainly the case with MOST pizza parlors, but it's NOT what you'll find at a CPK restaurant!
Pizzas with "unusual" sauces and toppings are the specialty of the house at every California Pizza Kitchen restaurant. They're into the "fusion cuisine" concept...meaning, they like to combine (or "fuse") several types of traditional cuisines into one dish. So, at the California Pizza Kitchen, you might find a white sauce and chicken on top of your pizza---which are certainly ingredients you WON'T find on a "traditional" Italian pizza. Or you might find artichoke bits...or bean sprouts. And, who knows what they'll think of next because, quite naturally, a restaurant chain that places THIS much emphasis on quirky flavor combos and experimentation is ALWAYS coming up with new menu items!
But, just to give you an example of what you might find at a California Pizza Kitchen, here's a list of some of the unusual and creative pizzas that have been on the CPK menu:
* Barbeque Chicken Pizza, featuring BBQ sauce, chicken, and Gouda (as well as the more traditional Mozzarella) cheeses.
* BLT Pizza: You've seen the abbreviation "BLT" on menus at your local luncheonette---but what could bacon, lettuce and tomato have to do with a pizza? They're sandwich...not PIZZA ingredients, right? Wrong! At the California Pizza Kitchen, you'll be able to order your favorite SANDWICH ingredients...on top of a pizza crust!
* California Club Pizza, which comes to your table looking like a salad piled onto a pizza crust (!) features lettuce, tomatoes, avocados, bacon, and chicken...and even includes mayonnaise on its list of topping ingredients!
* Carne Asada Pizza: Carne Asada is a roast beef dish from south of the border, and you should pronounce this "CAR-nay ah-SAH-dah" if you want to sound like you're from the American Southwest. At the California Pizza Kitchen, you Carne Asada Pizza comes piled high with steak slices and veggies---fire-roasted chilis, onions, and tomatoes (in a freshly-prepared salsa).
* Chipotle Chicken Pizza is another international-style pizza influenced by our neighbors to the south. (Pronounce this one: chee-POTE-lay) To understand this pizza, try to imagine what would happen if the delivery truck from your local Mexican restaurant crashed with a Calif Pizza Kitchen vehicle...and the foods from the 2 trucks got all mixed together! You'll find hotly-spiced chicken bits, corn niblets, black beans and salsa on top of your pizza crusts...along with several types of Mexican-style sauces. Are you up to it?
* Jamaican Jerk Chicken Pizza: This unusual pizza features grilled chicken breast spiced with Jamaican seasonings, bacon, red and yellow peppers and scallions, all in a sweet Caribbean-style sauce.
* Thai Chicken: This unusual creation features chicken marinated in spicy Thai-style sauces (peanut/ginger and sesame sauce.) Other unique ingredients (for a pizza!) are bean sprouts, carrot strips, onions and...just imagine!...roasted peanuts.
Naturally, the California Pizza Kitchen offers many more pizzas than is mentioned on this small list. Nevertheless, this illustration goes to show you examples of the extreme creativity of California Pizza Kitchen's chefs!Other menu items offered at California Pizza Kitchen restaurants include various appetizers and salads, a small selection of soups and sandwiches, and luscious desserts.
