Reviews of California Pizza Kitchen at International Plaza
first timer - we had a GREAT experience. went around 4pm on a Saturday, wasn’t busy we were able to be seated right away. We ordered drinks, which were super good. the right amount of alcohol to mix ratio. we ordered a small plate and appetizers. They also offer bread and olive oil to start. they have a variety of food options not just pizza! i was surprised. The crust for the pizza is sooooo good. the food was flavorful and hot. the sauces were amazing. we will definitely be back!
Service was a bit slow and uninterested. Food was good and drinks were pleasant. I wouldn’t go out of my way to come here but it was nice coming back after so long. Kind of disappointing that the smaller pizzas aren’t available after a certain time.
California Pizza was very generous with the Veterans tribute. They had a big menu for Vets to choose from. I got a pepperoni, mushroom and sausage pizza. Soooo good. And they included a drink. They didn't even bring a check just said "thanks for your service." Then when I was leaving the manager came over and thanked me again and gave me a card with a free entre to be used in the next couple of weeks. Felt very much appreciated.
Went to a dinner with the family, had a nice experience but the service was little slow. Food was good and kids has few nice options. Thought that drink n fruit was included was kids but that’s isn’t, paid extra.
I had only been to California Kitchen once 20 years ago and didn't find it to be impressive. Not sure if they all changed since then but this place was amazing! So much so I came back the next day. Sangria Flight Amazing! Steak Pizza - Delicious! Hawaiian Pizza -Delicious and Pineapples were so fresh! SERVICE WAS A+++ BOTH TIMES! Definitely one of my new go to places. Especially those Sangrías!!!
In Tampa and stopped at California Pizza kitchen. The spicy Buffalo cauliflower was great!! Thank you, Danielle for the recommendation and great service!
Ways enjoy eating here. Did get a salad this day. Avocado egg rolls are 10/10.
Awesome food will definitely recomend for all pizza lovers. Drinks are also pretty good.
Service was decent. Food was alright. Not all it's hyped up to be, but would go back to try again.
Wow! A family celebration and just as good as ever! Enjoyed the chopped salads, pizza and drinks! Gluten free options but no vegan cheese for my 4 yo granddaughter that cannot have dairy. Great service, too!
The tequila fettuccine which I usually order is spot on, but the last two occasions have been watery and looks like they have lessened the portion. Additionally, the service has been lacking. There were no refills on drinks, no complimentary bread, missing utensils. All had to be asked for. The location is great, but I believe it just needs some training of the basics and the rest will take care of itself.
We love, love, love CPK! Great food, drinks, and service. We eat here every other week or so and highly recommend it. BUT PLEASE, clean the bathrooms! In the 3+ years of coming here, the bathrooms are literally always a mess. I don’t understand it. I know this post may come off as funny, but really just highlighting something I hope you all can address.
CPK never disappoints, I am giving 4 stars because the tequila chicken pasta wasn't my favorite, it was too much cilantro and not much chicken in it and kind of watery, too much sauce.
I've been there a few times, I will definitely visit again, but won't be ordering pasta.
The service was good even tho it was busy at the time.
I came here with a group of friends and it was an amazing experience. Terrance is the best server that I have ever had. He went out of his way to accommodate my peanut allergy which has kept me from coming to CPK for the last 6 years. He exceeded expectations and I will be back asking just for him. I am so thankful for his amazing service.
The food is great quality. The wedge salad is one of my favorite. The tables are kinda close and when it's packed, it can be a bit much. The service is hit or miss.
The appetizers are personal size. For the price and the concept of an app they are to be shared while you wait for your meal. There’s just no reason to get a personal portion of chips and Guac.
The pizza is always great! The cauliflower crust is so good! The staff was nice and our server was very prompt.
I gave it a 3 because the service was "OK", it wasn't the greatest, but it wasn't bad. Also, I ordered the garlic fettuccini with shrimp and my noodles were pretty dry. My sister ordered the same, but with chicken and once she stirred hers around it was nice and perfect with the amount of sauce. I had to ask for more sauce. The butter cake was great as usual. My brother ordered the chocolate cake and it was phenomenal.
I used to work inside the mall and would stop by for my lunch breaks, food was always super quick and delicious. I would order the kids spaghetti and it was enough for a good sized lunch but for half the price of a regular portion size. Service is always great and the rewards program is cool too so you can earn free meals.
I have been going to this place for more than 10 years, Kung Pao Spaghetti with shrimp and Thai Crunch salad is what I usually order, and they are my favorite. The pizzas are also very good.
An extremely popular pizza chain located inside International Plaza.
To be honest, my expectations were as high as the pizza chain itself.
Without a doubt, the restaurant appears amazing in terms of the structure, interior, layout , seating arrangements outdoor & indoor plus the bar within.
They offer takeouts, also multiple vegetarian options along with a few Gluten Free options, Kids menu & crayons/activity sheets for their entertainment too.
The service was expeditious for the staff, as I observed, was quite efficient, moreover, Our server was super friendly & quick.
Now comes the food, we ordered for Schezwan Chicken Dumplings, Shaved Mushrooms & Spinach Flatbread, A Platinum Margarita and a couple of beer.
Everything mentioned above was drool-worthy and palatable until the pizza arrived!
I set my expectations higher when rest of the food I devoured was utterly delicious, Not the Pizza for sure!
The hawaiian pizza we ordered for, wasn’t appetizing, the base felt off & nothing else surprized me about it, only parmesan I could taste & of course that wasn’t enough to please us.
So 5 stars for their amazing service, family friendly environment, lively ambience while only one star for the unappetizing pizza !
Food was very good. Service was top notch. Seemed kinda empty so was not as enjoyable. Pizza was not same as same pizza in another location. Kinda disappointed on it. Appetizer was very good...
Amazing as always the food here I'd consistently high quality and tastes soooooooo good! 10/10 never a bad experience
Like this place, good and nice servers, food come fast to the table, pasta delicious and my drink awesome!😋👍💯 …
CPK has been a family favorite for years. Good pizza, good price. Everyone’s favorite has consistently been the avocado club egg rolls. We get them every time and they’re alway delicious. The staff at this location is friendly and attentive. Great lunch/dinner option and there’s something for everyone.
Loved this place! Service, food, drinks all great!
Great lunch. Pizza and salad for $12. We also shared spinach dip. Cauliflower crust pizza was among the best. Try it even if you don’t have to eat gluten free! Thin and crispy without tasting like a cracker. Yummy! I chose the Mediterranean salad. Fresh and generous with feta, olives and tomatoes. The spinach dip was gone between the 3 of us. Thick and creamy with fresh nacho chips. I just wish there was a CPK closer to home!
Great place to go for casual dining experience. Large variety of foods...pizza...pasta...coastal fare
The food was delicious. I had their Thai pizza. It was amazing nice balance of flavors.
The guacamole is so goooooodddddd! Personal sized apps though- wish they would give you more for the price. Tried the cauliflower crust pizza and it’s was fantastic but thin crust bc it’s cauliflower so it’s best for someone that’s okay with that. It’s worth it though, really tasty. This location is clean and the waitress and hostess were really nice and prompt. Went on a Saturday’s evening and got a table right away.
I stumbled into this gem of a restaurant in the mall. Since I was alone, I sat at the bar. I ordered a half barbecue chicken salad. Service was quick and courteous and the food was tasty and more than enoughfor lunch. I would definitely dine there again.
Good food, half empty restaurant, we were not offered sweets or coffee. Bill placed on table before we could finish. Server seemed stressed and indifferent.
We went 2 Sundays in a row. Fabulous food!! The avocado egg rolls were outstanding!!
Service is always good, selection is always good. Pizzas are delicious.
Great pizza, very little wait time, and friendly service! Definitely recommend! Went to this chain in Chicago as well, and it was just as good! Very reliable and moderately cheap pizza place that I would definitely go to again if I lived in Tampa.
The best service I've ever had! Food was incredible, the speed of the service. Our waiter, Michael, was on top of it all! And the gentleman who took the food to our table, sweet and kind. I couldn't believe I was at a restaurant in a mall!!! Best spot!
Overall CPK is a very good place to eat in the mall. Chicken picata is good, the chickens must be getting smaller though.
Friendly service, but soooo slow, I don't know if it was staffing issues or what, but the food and atmosphere were great.
I had to give a shoutout to Addiel (hope I didn’t mess up the spelling), as a former waitress, I know what good customer service should be and he did just that, he was entertaining and engaged in conversation, and it felt like you were talking to a friend! The food was also amazing. As a first timer, everything about this experience was wonderful and would recommend it to anyone. Definitely coming back!!
Ordered five cheese pizza.. one of the best pizza I ever had. Service was ok though.
The variety of available pizzas can get you a new eating experience every time you visit. I found the food more expensive this visit.
Amazing food but the staff in especially the one make the list are rude. but o love the pizza ❤️
Our waitress Monica was very sweet and professional ! The food was great, they have an extensive menu! Great salads , soups and pizzas . There is something for everyone.
One of my favorite places over the years and it still has great food💗👍
I had me the shrimp scampi pizza! My favorite!(I took a picture of the last two pieces left on my plate) It was hot and delish !
Omg I have eaten at all of these restaurants in central FL, this one by far has the best tasting pizza. I always get the cauliflower crust and it was cooked perfectly! All of the ingredients we equally proportioned throughout the whole pizza so every bite was just as good as the last. IF you love pizza I recommend that you stop by and get some!
Came here for lunch and got a shrimp Cesar half salad. The food was fine — if you’ve been to one of these places, you’ve been to them all. I sat at the bar and the service was really pretty slow. The bartender made no attempt to refill my drink until after he dropped the check and he seemed generally overwhelmed. They either need to run a second bartender or train them to be better at multi-tasking here.
Very healthy food and great customer service. Excellent service and kind waitresses. Love the pizza and delish food and also the salads. Would totally reccomend. The best waitress is Alex with the redish pinkish hair.PLEASE VISIT
Great salad. Slightly slow service. Overpriced. Good pizza.
Delicious fresh food. Not too salty. Lots of different choices. 6oz. Pour of wine!!!
Was visiting and enjoyed this location at the mall. Servers are great and professional for such a busy location
What a placeeee for pizaa ! Wow !
And they have an amazing salad too!
The prices pretty good!
My wife and I always make it a point to stop in and have a bite to eat and have a drink at California Kitchen. The Servers and staff are always so nice and friendly . The food has always been served hot and fresh and drinks as well. We love coming here when we shop at the Int'l Mall. It's a nice place to have lunch or dinner when you're shopping for the day at the mall.
Seated right away and got our food quickly too. Went in for dinner around 5 on a Friday. Food was delicious service was great. Looking forward to visiting again and trying new menu items.
Just love this place. Quality is always there. The wedge salad is amazing. The pot stickers will probably never do again. The buttercake will melt your face off in the best way possible!!! Must share.
Megan and estabon were our servers! What an amazing team you have, the place was so busy they remained so calm so smiley and informed us on everything on the menu we had a big table so I know how hectic things can be and the food was awesome. Thank you Megan and estabon!!they deserve weekends off and a raise 🙏 …
Great pizza! Seated quickly and pizza was on time. And good.
My wife and I are constant customers. Best thin crust cauliflower pizza.
Sit at the bar where you can see them make the food, it's like the food channel but live. Try the pizza or a pasta dish. And the butter cake for dessert.
I wouldve gave 5 stars but Some of my pizza was burnt I was so hungry I ate half of it but I will be back
Not sure I haven't eaten in there yet, only we have used their restrooms
Delicious !! Great wine and menu selection. I love that they offer cauliflower pizza cooked to perfection!
It's been a few years since I've been here. I ordered the lunch special and got a 7-inch pepperoni pizza with a spinach and quinoa side salad. I really enjoyed it. They were quite busy for coming in a little bit before 4 p.m. so I had to wait almost 30 minutes for my lunch but I wasn't in a hurry so it was all good. The only thing I would have changed is getting my salad ahead of time and not have it brought out at the same time as the pizza.
My first time eating in there and it was very impressive 👏👌. The food was so good that my 5 year old ate all of his. It's a nice place to sit and eat with your friends and family. Very quiet not too noisy and they waiters were very nice to say the least. I will go back again soon. Nice place to grab some good pizza. …
Pizza was delicious. Wait time wasn’t bad and they have good lunch specials.
Excellent menu, plenty of choices, service was great
Always waiting in the store.... not a traditional type of pizza.. have very thin but not crispy dough.. with light sauce and light cheese. But tipping like corn beans pepper onion. Tomato... ets
BBQ chicken pizza will always be my favorite. We tried the egg rolls as well and they almost filled us up before we got the pizza. So delicious!
The food is excellent and the portion sizes for the lunch specials are great, and the restaurant was very clean with guests spread out fairly well. Our server was very friendly and offered helpful suggestions for food options (definitely grateful about the warning on the spicy salad dressing and recommendation for an alternative option to try as well), but not as attentive as we hoped. The group of 4 went without refills on water and tea for a good 10-15 minutes, and we spent quite a bit of time waiting for our food to come out in the first place. We were all waiting with payment in hand by the time our checks came because it everything took so long. All that to say I wouldn't recommend CPK if you're looking for a lunch that takes an hour or less; but if your time is flexible, it's a good place to go.
I love this place! I had a lunch combo. Pizza and a salad. So delicious! Everyone was so friendly from the time we set foot inside. Great waiter. The service was very fast. I wish there were more around .
Had two soups in 1 bowl. It is a speciality they present. It was great. Pizza always good and the corn dish is great.
Lots of vegetarian options here.
I like mac n cheese bites most in the appetizer
Great selection of unique and tasty pizzas & pastas. Fresh, flavorful, and fast.
We had chicken piccata, three cheese pizza and bbq chicken pizza. All three were very good! Portions were good. Very enjoyable. We've been here several times before. Always good! Fun place to eat and visit while shopping at the mall. Our server was excellent! She was fast and kept our drinks full. I do recommend this restaurant.
Good food, Excellent service, Megan so nice and friendly
Really good Pizza and Kung Pao Spaghetti chicken. Good and attentive service.
Service was good. I was a little disappointed with the cauliflower crust pizza, however. The crust seemed extraordinarily thin, and it was overcooked. I enjoyed the grocery store version, wish they'd bring it back.
This place is awesome. The lunch special with a pizza and salad is the perfect lunch! My server Megan was so kind and cheerful and happy to help! And Ken the bartender on Thursdays makes the best drinks ever! If your on your way to this side of town make it a point to stop by
Our waitress Katy was wonderful, very polite and attentive. Food was good and atmosphere was good. Restaurant was very clean
Good food, Missing the green sauce since last manager left.
first time here, what a great experience! We were seated and served quickly, and our server, Ernest was the most enthusiastic and wonderful part of the trip. Very attentive and friendly, definitely set a standard for future visits! Plus a 7" pizza with a salad for only $12? Sold a thousand times over. Plenty of gluten free and vegetarian options, the veggies tasted fresh and the flavor combo's are amazing 😍 Can't wait to plow my way through the menu, will definitely be back for delicious foor and amazing service!
The food was Very Good. The Mexican Street Corn is AWESOME. It alone was worth the 25 mile drive. Service was great. Wife and I had a Great evening meal there. This restaurant is now in the Monthly rotation.
The food was great. I could give it a 5 star but The only thing that is a bit issues when I was seated by the Bar to order food and drink, The Lady behind the Bar saw me but failed to say hello and never approach me. She's not even busy at that time
Luckily 25 minutes later I asked the 2 Ladies that passing by if they can take my order and they did. Im about to walk out...very disappointed with the Service.
I'll start by saying that the service was nothing short of WORLD-CLASS! Gold Star to Alex (girl) for her service, professionalism, product knowledge and general sweetness. There was a discrepancy with my wife's food and not only was it promptly replaced but there was no charge for the dish. I love everything about this restaurant and the staff I dealt with. Great job, keep up the great work! Thank you for an awesome experience!
Great place. Delicious food. Amazing pizza 😍
Excellent food and very good service!!
Pizza was delicious! Spinach artichoke dip was really good.
We always have a great experience at CPK at International Mall! We’re always quickly seated, our drinks are out faster than we can order them, the food is always hot and AMAZING (get the Avocado Egg Rolls), and our servers are always incredibly friendly and quick.
Mr. Ken is by far our favorite. My better half has been going to CPK down in Brandon since before her daughter was born, and he was regularly her server. She’s been bringing her daughter in since she was a baby, and he’s watched her grow up and they have such a great relationship. He’s the best!
The food is always fresh. The staff was friendly and intentive. We will go back.
I went into this establishment Tuesday. I had been a regular of the Brandon mall a long time ago I was expecting about the same level of service. I was pleasantly surprised to have some of the best service I had received in a long time. My servers name was Ben he took time to help with our choices on the menu,He filled out drinks on time, He joked with my party. I think he made this experience the 5 star that this place always deserved. The food was delicious and the tables were clean.
We were told there was a 10 minute wait which turned into 20 minutes. When we were taken to our seating, they seated us at a small booth, my boyfriend is 6'7 so we had to ask to be moved to a normal booth. We ordered a BBQ pizza which was pretty good, but it has parsley on it which just ruined it because it tasted like soap, I spent more time picking it off than eating the pizza. We needed refills, my boyfriend got his, but mine took quite a while. All in all, relatively good food, it was very clean but service could use improvement.
Their menu is a little pricey for the amount of food you receive; however, the food is very delicious. If you're looking for a good deal, checkout their lunch specials. The soup and salad combo was great. The baked potato soup was perfect and I highly recommend trying it.
This place is OUTSTANDING. FROM THE HOST TO THE COOK. MAKE SURE U TRY THE STREET CORN...... U WILL THANK ME LATER!!!!
The food, the atmosphere, and especially the people at this restaurant are top notch. That said, everything costs significantly more than it should. And they currently have the 16 or 20 closest parking spots reserved for pickup orders, none of which were being used right at dinnertime. I should have just parked there...
Food was great and service was even better. Went in last night with 2 little ones and received the BEST service from Ben! He went above and beyond during the entire dinner. To give you an idea, he brought over dough for the kids, baked it and then after hearing my niece say she wanted to bring home her pizza and decorate it with sprinkles, Ben brought some sprinkles over for her to use right there! Really small things like that really can make the customer experience that much better. Thanks so much, Ben!
Michael our server was great. The pizza here is amazing always tasty with a great crust. Second time that i have been here in a month. Love this place!
Good food. Good service. We went at lunchtime. Great pizza, and free bread!
Very fresh ingredients and a friendly staff
I absolutely love this place. I usually order the Kung Pao spaghetti and its just amazing. Staff are nice, food is good. Only issue is that sometimes my Kung Pao spaghetti can have a lot of sauce, which is good, but other times its really dry and it tastes like plain spaghetti.
I don’t usually like fish but California Pizza Kitchen has Halibut cooked on grains in their coal oven and its delicious. I highly recommend the Halibut.
Had to come back and update my review. California Pizza Kitchen in Tampa no longer sells the Halibut. This was honestly their best dish. The pizza is decent but not the best. I mainly go here for the ambiance and the fact it is relatively close.
Great food, excellent host! We tried the jerk chicken pizza! We fell in love!
Everything was great ...it's just a little bit loud in there.
One word... AMAZING margherita pizza! It was so tasty I could not stop eating it!!!
The atmosphere was relaxed, especially for being in the mall. Service was great! Our waitress was very attentive. The only thing I didnt like was that she called us "sweetie" and "love" and "boo". Especially being younger than me, I just don't like that. But other than that, would definitely go back & still give it (🖐️) 5 stars!
I feel the menu and quality have changed too much. The wedge salads dressing lacked flavor. The pizza toppings were thinner and very salty.
We like the shops and restaurants at the plaza mall in Tampa. Cal pizza kitchen has good menu items, different selections, not just pizza. Tried the cauliflower buffalo appetizer. Very good, like chicken, only with cauliflower.... does that make sense? I had pasta, and my wife had a Jamaican flavored flatbread pizza, which were both decent. The server forgot our salad. Oh well.... we also had one cocktail and water. Although the food was good, the service was not. For a $65 bill for two people, the value just was not there for us. If we ever return it probably will be for the less expensive lunch lunch menu, and maybe when they're not that busy for better service.
I have never had such fresh food and so delicious,also our server just in was amazing as well!
Mediterranean salad and shrimp scampi with pasta and zucchini noodles is so delicious. I got an order for my mom and sister Service was great by Heather on 7-8-2021. Thank you Heather!
We got pizzas, foccacias and a wedge salad. Noone could finish their food. So much food and absolutely delicious. The Honey Bee foccacia had a spicy honey drizzle that was amazing!
Love their Lunch Duos menu!
If you're taking a lunch break or just visiting the mall around lunchtime, the backside of the menu has some good duo pairings of pizzas, salads, soups.....you get to choose two items off the list.
The lunchtime service is usually friendly and quick. It's not too busy during the weekdays.
Went today for dinner and it was packed but service was phenomenal!! we didn’t feel rushed and our glasses of water were never empty. Food came out quick, fast and hot. The mexican street corn was amazing!! almost ordered another one but had to stop myself. had the white corn guacamole and the thai pizza as well, all fantastic and recommend. can’t wait to go back!
This place is great. I have dined in here and I've ordered to go orders from here. the food is always great and the service is always great for me. On this visit I ordered a large takeout order and everything was fresh and correct. It was also cooked quickly. You honestly can't go wrong with this California Pizza Kitchen location.
It was amazing ,this is my second time I am going to cpk 😍😍 really loved their veggie pizza. Those sin dried tomatoes were yummy.. must go and tried their butter cake too it's good …
Very good. Had the cauliflower bbq chicken pizza. Great choice
Great Original chicken BBQ pizza, Shaved mushroom & spinach flatbread, and Banh MI Bowl! Service was a bit slow, but it was the weekend and the mall was packed with people, many of whom had a hankering for this restaurant's delicacies. All in all, it was a good experience, involving a very pleasant server and excellent food.
They have gluten-free crust! We got our pizza to go and ordering and picking it up was easy. The pizza was delicious! The gluten-free crust was the best I have had in the six years of being gluten-free. The staff was great and very friendly.
Everything was great! Three for lunch on a weekend. Fish tacos, Asian salad and a pizza. All of it was really good. Service was good even though the restaurant was busy. Menu had plenty of choices to keep everyone happy. We will definitely return.
Wife and I stopped by while we were in the mall last Tuesday. The location was not very busy, but the service from our server was not very caring. Seemed like she was too snappy while we were trying to order. This was our first time at this location, and it seemed liked our server did not have enough patience while we navigated through the menu. Really a pain. Not coming back to this location. There are too many other options for lunch in the area that would appreciate the business.
Always a good place and not expensive.
Love this place. The staff are always nice. I love the new salad pizzas, they are so good! The desserts are divine!
Delicious & huge portions great waitress
Love CPK! So sad the one in Brandon went out of business, but we love it so much we’ll drive here! Amazing new plant based bbq chicken pizza, tostada & great local beer on tap!
Split a salad and a pizza with a friend and they were very accommodating with changing the ingredients of the salad and splitting the pizza. I had mine with artichokes, fresh tomatoes, and mushrooms, Now the combination they offered but certainly a competitive one in the over all arena of pizza flavors. If you're going to the mall, it's worthwhile stopping here.
Frozen California Pizzas have been a go to for us for a while (the BBQ chicken is always a win). So, when we visited the area we knew a trip to California Pizza was going to happen.
We got the curry inspired pizza since it's not available in stores and were pleasant surprise! It had flavor but not a lot of heat. One pizza was plenty to share.
What prevents this review from being a 5 Star was our server. His attitude became cold and rushed after we ordered water and a pizza to split. He assumed we were cheap, I suppose, and would tip bad. Not so! That's just what we wanted. He also brought our check out before we were finished.
I suppose his assumption was a self fulfilling prophecy.
CPK is one of my favorite restaurants to visit in Tampa, and a must visit if you are at the International Mall. The service is always great and the food is delicious! I really recommend the barbecue chicken pizza!
The pizza here is very good, however you will find that the portion size is disappointing. The pizza's are small and overpriced. While the actual food is great (and surprisingly the appetizers are delicious as well), the menu prices are out of budget. I don't eat here often because of this. But we have had consistently great pizza and good service at this place, all things considering. If you're hungry and dining for two, I recommend getting an appetizer and 1 pizza. That'll save your wallet, and any overeating.
Food was delicious!! Service excellent. Staff kept their masks on and took covid precautions. Especially liked the door to outside open to get fresh air in.
Two of us shared a large salad and pizza. Food was very good and enough salad to even take home.
The bartender Lydia is great. Very personable. She let me vent after a rough day, then pointed me towards a Baja Sangria which was delicious. Also, do yourself a favor and get the cauliflower crust on your pizza.
Always LOVE CPK! Mahalo to their great service and Aloha their Hawaiian Pizza, try it with cauliflower crust, and CPK California Cobb Salad (ask for it chopped)! Don't forget to join CPK Rewards, those points add up to great discounts!!
The food was absolutely delicious and the service was great. My sister has to have a gluten-free diet. They had multiple options. Even the gluten free pizza was to die for!!! I wish we had one near me
I don't usually love chain restaurants but cpk just gets it right. Love the cauliflower crust pizza, the banh mi bowl, and the bread/olive oil dip they bring to your table. Yum. Also, they have been very accommodating with high chairs and kid friendly service.
I love this place. There new curbside option is perfect during the pandemic. The food is always fresh. My only suggestion to the location is to include bread and oil during curbside especially if it's requested.
A great restaurant with a wide variety menu to satisfy the most discriminating taste. I had the California Cob Salad, half size which was plentiful. It was full of fresh ingredients and delicious. Service was exceptional and the cost was reasonable.
Great service! I ordered the Jerk Chicken Pizza with cauliflower crust, the Chinese dumplings and the strawberry Margarita. Everything was good but the margarita was overpriced and basically a "sip." I'll come back to some of the pizza!
This is my go to lunch spot, we're usually able to get in and out within an hour. They have great lunch and other specials. What I like best is that the seldom times there's an issue they make it right. I appreciate that - it's why I'll always return.
A lunch break in between shopping appointments for wedding dress shopping with my future Daughter-in-law.
We love this place! The food is always wonderful and love the take and bake pizzas for just $5. Eat there and cook a pizza the next day for $5 ...what a deal!
Good food, fast service and the waiter was refreshingly attentive. Loved that they had football on several televisions
Delicious pizza with crispy thin crust and flavorful toppings and creamy. The price was reasonable for a quick lunch. The Tostada pizza I had came with crisp lettuce, tortilla strips and house-made herb ranch with layers of black beans, and melted cheese . It was also served with flame-roasted salsa.
Okay spot... I think the managers could've helped out in the dining room area to keep the servers from getting in the weeds... Managers run the food, don't have the customers waiting.. Team Team Team = Happy Customers which equals happy wait staff.. B
I only gave it this one I'm a delivery person, not the easiest place to locate. The mall needs better signage.
I'm sure the food is great just from the crowd in place.
Great location, food and service... being a vegetarian I usually find only a dish or two in the menu at most places. However, California Pizza Kitchen has amazing options for vegetarians. Love it!
They have the best pizzas and salads. If I could eat here every day I would!!
Amazing service, waiters were nice and always came back to see how we were doing. Prices were very reasonable as well. Definitely coming back with my family.
We celebrated here a birthday with a party of 10. Great food and service. They accommodated our cake etc.
Delicious choices and variety of yumminess.. pizza is so good makes me wanna slap my Italian mama! To the servers a big thank you! Davee was on point I'll deff go back as long as that cutie is there!!! Overall this is a must go joint
Great service. Even though they were really busy our serve was very friendly and helpful. The food was very good and they really are able to produce the food to meet the demand. We never felt rushed.
Food was delicious, and they didn't tell our server that she had a table so service was sloooow getting started. Our server was great though.
Been here more than once.
1: first the complimentary bread is not even offered any more. A tiny portion give if asked twice.
2: last time ordered pizza & requested NO mushroom please & added onion , didn't care, sent back the food & next time other toppings asked were missing.
3: chips & guac portion is a joke.
Some items on menu are good
This time tried spaghetti & it was delicious & so was some drinks.
Too bad requests & restrictions are not paid attention to & time or day of week don't make a difference.
Food all tasted pretty good and the service was great. Food did not really come out hot. Biggest issue with this place was the seating. They certainly cram tables into this place. It's almost as fun as sitting on an airplane
Great food and atmosphere. The Cucumber Reviver is delicious. Our writers, Ken and Darryl were personable and attentive. The only con...the freshly brewed coffee tasted awful.
This was my first time at a California Pizza Kitchen. I had a chicken pasta entree. I was pretty underwhelmed. For the price I was expecting more. I want to go again and try the pizza before I completely make up my mind about this place.
food was decent, but the cups are hard to poke straws through
and especially the entrance and just the general walkway, it was crammed and slightly claustrophobic
We were seated quickly with brisk service for our first drink
We provided our order to a very sweet server Morg who was very attentive
I liked that the servers were not cookie cutter-diverse and hard working
We had the cauliflower appy which was a generous portion
I had 2 soups which were delicious-especially the baked potato!
My hubby had a pizza he created and enjoyed
Best meal since we arrived in Florida over a week ago
Awesome waiter she was very attentive. Pizza was delicious.. if visiting Florida again I would definitely return
Clean, food served quickly. Lots of value priced lunch items.
Amazing! Everything was fresh. Kimberly was awesome. Can't wait to dine her again.
It's been a while since eating at CPK. I was impressed by the wait staff, the professionalism, service and quality of my food! Definitely deserves a 5 star review!
My wife and I eat here every time we go shopping at the mall. The food never disappoints. The gentlemen making the pizzas are awesome! All around great place to grab a bite eat!
The pizza and salad was Amazing!!! Very fresh service was fast and friendly....definitely a good choice when in the area💯🍕🥂🥗
I had mexican corn and avacado egg roles. They were excellent!! Best egg rolls I ever had!! My sister had Roasted Garlic Chicken with seasonal veg and potato fingerlings. My brother had mexican corn and Buffalo Cauliflower. Service was excellent!!
Awesome! Delicious pizza at a reasonable price. Very polite and good service.
Good place to eat. I particularly like the salads and recently ate a flatbread which was very delicious. Their Sangrias are good. You have several to choose from.
The servers are,always great
You should go
Whenever I am at the mall , I like to stop by California Pizza Kitchen. This trip, me and my friend ordered my all time favorite Jamalaya linguini fini and wild mushroom pizza. Delicious as always and expected! For the first time, we ordered spicy buffalo cauliflower and it was delicious. Lightly battered crispy outer layer and lightly deeped into buffalo sauce- delicious! Service is good as always and our server was prompt and friendly.
Pretty slow at lunch time. Had the club eggrolls which were fantastic!! Service was on point, ask for Rocio if you dine here!!
Quality and quick for to go orders. However my last trip didn't go so well as the cashier gave my order to an UberEATS driver. Normally that doesn't hapoen but it's worth mentioning for sure.
Wow I had a wonderful experience!!! Please ask for Ken he is the best 👍🏾
I enjoyed California Pizza from the staff was wonderful the appetizers were to die fir my waiter new his stuff pizza delicious if you love pizza you will love California Pizza
Just wasn't impressed with our meals. The lunch menu needs more options.
Lovely restaurent...always accommodative to large groups...excellent manager...came over an introduced himself..party of 24...and only 20 mins of wait time.. great job guys
Great lively place for lunch or dinner! CPK is always busy and their food is always fresh. You can'y go wrong with either pizza, salad or their other entrees. Also great to get some rewards too!
Great pizza and sandwiches and I like that they offer a lunch combo to pick half sandwich soup or salad when you want a lighter meal. Great quality food with excellent fast service.
It’s been a long long time since I’ve eaten here. Was in the area and wanted to eat here again. I had the chicken piccata and Mexican corn for appetizer. Everything was so great!
Yes, the pizzas are good but I dont come to California Pizza Kitchen for pizza...I come for the amazing Ceasar Salad!! I know what you're thinking..."really? Salad?" but hear me out. The Ceasar Salad has super cold PRE CUT romaine lettuce, shaved parmesan pieces and crunchy bite size croutons all mixed with the best dressing I've ever had. My 8 year old son loves it...I fight off my teenage girls for the last bite and I have never had a bad experience with it. Just try it...even if it's before you eat your pizza.
Ken, the bartender is amazing and so nice. It's been a long time since we've been to CPK and after tonight we will frequent more often.
Good and different pizza.
First time at California Pizza. Must say I am impressed by the fusion of ingredients. But most importantly Mya our server was on her game. You can't train the desire to serve,your born with it. Thank you Mya
Delicious as always. Love this place
Great place to have a quick bites and drinks... Justin was great bartender. Very professional but personable and friendly
5⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Outstanding service. The baked potato soup was especially good. The pizza was good, but a bit more greasy than we like.
The food is so good and the staff was friendly and accommodating.
Great customer service and amazing food! I tried the BBQ chicken pizza w/o cilantro n onions n it's was delicious. I ate the entire pizza on my own!
Been to a fair share of CPK's across the country. This is by far the best one, from service to the food and drinks. Great job peeps. I'll be back soon :)
Very nice place! The food was great. Great service, almost no waiting time. I highly recommend the flatbread. Great place to go on a date, or with friends and family.
this was action my first visit to California Pizza kitchen and have said was pretty enjoyable experience I had a couple of guests with me and we had lunch and found it to be very ambiance is great as they say seating was good got seated immediately real quickly place was cleaned squared away that helps the server came by initially took or district drinks and water and gave us some time to prove the menu menu is pretty broad a lot different stuff of course it leans towards pizza and salads and so that seems to be a specialty here I know there was a calzone and a salad and the pizza for me and the other guest had a salad and a bowl of soup so we pretty much covered the main items in the menu and they were very tasty meal was delivered quickly warm when it was supposed to be warm and cool when it was supposed to be cool we enjoyed it server came by several times to check and make sure we all right actually I was pretty surprised with the speed since the place is pretty full something we got there but by the time we got ready to order the places had filled up pretty well so that was enjoyable experience
Yes they have the best salads and their pizzas incredible highly recommend you will you will definitely be satisfied when you leave
Very good food and excellent service. We come here once or twice a month. The food and food is always at least good. The service varies depending on the server. Tonight it was outstanding.
The food was unamazing, and $15+ for a personal pizza is a bit much. Servers were attentive, though we did have a bit of trouble waving our waitress down after we paid our bill.
Great food and awesome service! All the staff were very friendly and our server, Monika, was great!!!
Very good. Really busy
Good lunch menu. Get your pizza extra crispy as they tend to be under cooked
Non traditional pizzas but very very good, I'll visit again
CPK is such a great restaurant! I've had almost everything on the menu and have never been disappointed. I really recommend the chicken piccata and the butter cake for dessert
Best food in Tampa so far. You can literally order anything from the menu and it will be good.
Excellent, Bartender was Awesome seat at the Bar of Course, wish we remembered her name, next time. Five stars to Her. Food 3.5
It was a good place to be.. good service, good food. Strawberry mint cooler was too good
My wife's favorite spot. I had a great Carne Asada pizza on cauliflower crust. Service was great and food was as well
Salads and atmosphere were great, however our 2 glasses of house wine were more expensive than our meals.....$28.00 for 2 glasses of white wine. If you do go, stick to just water or iced tea.
The esthetics of their eaterie is as unique as their food. And equally pleasing. Overall family friendly experience coupled with good food is a recipe for a great night out.
Food was great, but our server Courtney could have been so much more personable. The server always makes or breaks the time there.
Fantastic food once again and with GREAT company!
Always loved this place , extravagant salads and thin crust pizza ! Always great service , prices high for what ya get .
They are the best for a reason. Ashley is a great employee. They take responsibility of casual mistakes in the order that could have been made by the customer.
Excellent experience!
The lunch specials are until 4pm...weekends included!
Great deal 👍 …
Great place. Food wash was a must
Food is always exceptionally well prepared. Service and sangrias were best yet
First time there. Great lunch combo, pizza and salad!! Great prices too
MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE RESTAURANT!!! All the dishes are good and the specialty drinks are awesome (mostly). The scenery is great and hats are $15!!
I'm giving 3 stars not because this place was awful, it's more because the food wasn't really my thing but the service was really attentive and friendly.
Delicious Kung Pao Chicken and Waldorf Salad. I believe you can ask the chef to make the Kung Pao Chicken without the hot chilis if you prefer that.
What a delicious "Five Cheese & Fresh Tomato" pizza 😋🍕 We enjoyed every bit of our stay. 💕
I generally like the food here but it's a little more expensive than I think it is worth. Nice servers and accommodating to families with kids like ours.
Great food and service! The BBQ chicken pizza on cauliflower crust was sooooo good
Took very long for the pizza to arrive on our table and wasn't really worth the wait.still better than pizza hut.
Different Pizzas, great atmosphere and awesome service. Must try the focaccia apps just a limited time !
Great food and service!
Great place to eat, staff were very friendly and answered all my questions on the menu.
Delicious salads, corn appetizer, pizza was really good!
My favorite chain restaurant that always delivers fresh and delicious meals at every visit. Staff well trained, very courteous, friendly, and eager to assist.
I love this location. The service is always in point and the food is fresh. I love their margherita pizza.
The chopped salad is delicious
Specialty pizzas....
Perfect size for sharing
Just a perfect light
Meal after shopping...
Full bar as well🍷🍸🍹
Pizza was awesome, staff was awesome
Fast service at takeout area.
Just love this place.. we did dine-in and enjoyed it with the family..
Can't complain about the food it was good, service was average, it's sad when mediocre service is what we expect.
The cauliflower pizza with roasted chicken and garlic is my absolute fave! They make the best moscow mules and Arnold palmers!
It was our first time. The service was fantastic and the food was excellent!!! Will definitely visit again when in the area
Really good food! Amazing staff! Super sad that they got rid of the jerk chicken pizza though :(
First time eating here, food was Awesome, very nice and clean family friendly
We went veggie. Two dishes with cauliflower as the main ingredient.
I had the buffalo cauliflower and it was
Amazing and crunchy.
My girlfriend works there and it is simply amazing how they handle their kitchen. They truly believe in cleanliness. 10/10 I would recommend.
Good pizza. Nice ambience.. there veggie pizza is good.
Superclean place awesome Pizza great servicethe cauliflower crust was amazing highly suggest checking this place out if you haven't been
Good place in the international mall. Variety of different dishes - pizza, salads, entrees, appetizers, etc. I had the shrimp scampi with fettuccine and zucchini noodles.
Yum my favorite in the menu California club pizza, chicken avocado roll and seafood,crawfish sausage pasta

Buena pizza
Love CPK! food is always great and consistant. My favorites are the waldof salad, the bbq & pineapple pizza and key lime pie! CPK rocks!
Food was prepared in a timely manner and all of the ingredients being fresh were delicious.
Miss the old menu. Not as good as they used to be. There are better pizza options around town.
One of my favorite restaurants. Food is very good.
Good food and friendly server. I like the $5 to go pizzas with each entree purchase.
Food was fantastic but service was "meh" which unfortunately knocked it down a star for me.
Great place to eat
It had been a while since I last ate at this establishment. The food was really good and service as also.
Amazing high quality food that taste like happiness.
So many fresh clean eats! Definitely going back multiple times. Super impressed with this menu.

They have a great salad menu. Spend a lot of time at INM it's s great place to grab some lunch or dinner.
Amazing customer service. The server suggested the carne asada pizza. It was nothing short of heaven sent.
Good service during lunch rush. Thai bowl lunch salad is great. So is the pizza...
The jambalaya pasta dish was really good, too salty though!
I wish you could award half stars. 4.5/5
Great food great Service
Great potato soup. Flat bread was also pretty good, could've used a little more meat, but still great
Sat us outside which was perfect for our large party of 10. Great service
So sad they discontinued the fried Mac and cheese. But always good food 👌🏽 …
Wish they made their pizzas bigger but overall good. Plus it's a spot you can get alcohol while you're shopping.
Food and ambience was good 👍, overall a good experience for a vegetarian meal. …
Great food, never a long wait. Drinks are quite potent and delish...
The egg rolls app was absolutely phenomenal. I don't remember what else we got but we liked everything
Service was really good and this place is really close to Tampa international airport. For anyone vacationing in the area stop by here please.
The pizza was ok, the sausage is good, but I would rather get pizza from somewhere like pizza hut.
Great food and wonderful service!! Can't wait to go back
Delicious food, varied menu, affordable prices and fantastic service. What more could anyone ask...
Love it, the guacamole and chips, street corn and garlic fettuccine were a happy surprise.
Nick was amazing. Very helpful. Would definitely recommend this business.
I like this place, good food and great friendly waiters, one hell of a cook
decent food, only thing I didn't like was the dirty table
Service was great, very friendly server, and always love the food.
Good food. Great service on a Friday night. Didn't feel rushed!
Great service great food very reasonable
Jambalaya was amazing! Per the kids the pizza was amazing as well! Great service
Fast service, excellent waitress, and good food. Between lunch and dinner when most places get lac but she was on her game.
Food was delicious pepperoni pizza and chopped Italian salad. We will definitely be going back
I never thought of having fruit or salad on pizza until I had California Pizza. Good food.
My very first time coming here and the staff was great and the food was outstanding ❤
Diverse menu with something for everyone. Of course there is pizza, some with the normal ingredients and some unique.
Wasnt a fan of the food or the wait staff I interacted with. May attempt another try sometime in the future and update my review
Great food and drinks for a reasonable price my wife and I love this place.
Amazing service, incredibly kind, fabulous food. 10/10! certainly recommend
Food was delicious and service great 😁
Amazing Pizza made fresh! Great appetizers and always great service!
This is a great place if you like to be crammed in and not able to hear. So it wasn't that bad so take it with a grain of salt.
Top notch!! Miss the one in Brandon but love this one in the mall! Cant go wrong with pizza!
I picked up my to go order. Michael was very helpful and nice! He went above and beyond to help me with my order.
Love this place, Chipotle Chicken Pizza, Thai Pizza, Chicken Kung Pao are some of our favorites! Highly recommended! ;-)

Good pizza and cocktails
Been eating at this one for years , always a great experience. I suggest the California Club.
Ordered the half chicken avocado, with soup. The mango lemonade was food although a bit sweet.
Very good pizzas, jambalaya is awesome, very good seevice & decent staff
Farmers market soup & Mediterranean salad a must try! It is fabulous ! Service is awesome!
Food is consistent with other CPK's but just overpriced compared to other gourmet pizza places that were in the area.
Best pizza ever! A little expensive, but always worth it
Lunch was created and my hubby loved the jambalaya pasta
the granddaughter and I both love the menu here, great salads, pizza, and soup.
Everything perfect except seating arrangement. Looks for 4 people arrangement but not that much spacious.
Love the pizza! Great service.
The gluten free pizza was delicious! Honestly couldn't tell it was GF!
The service was great! The food was well prepared.
Service was great and the food was nice and fresh!
Avocado chicken egg rolls are the best
Food presentation was not as good as it has been. Sloppy looking.
Very good food. Not low scale but not high end either
Loving the Cauliflower crust on all the great pizza options
Awesome Pizza and atmosphere
The food was good but the customer service was poor.
Great selection of food at great prices, always is good
The grandkids love it here. But I don't think the food is that great.
Amazing food and excellent service! Will be back!!
Food was good but not impressive.
No waiting, was seated & ordered all at the same time. No crowds & food was excellent.
Unique menu items and flavors. Enjoyed California Pizza and highly recommend.
I love they have the cauliflower crust pizza option. And salad and pizza lunch option.
Great food, & friendly staff.
Best Margarita pizza! Awesome service
Awesome place. Best pizza in town
Waitress, Halle was very good and friendly , place was clean, good was yummy
My only criticism is that they have eliminated the gluten free options from their menu.
Never a bad meal.... This is my go to spot when I'm in the area... Thank you !!
Food is amazing. You have to try the avacado eggrolls.
This place is omg delicious. The Chipotle chicken pizza is phenomenal
