While visiting my sister in Long Beach we ate here and let me tell you... It was a good choice. It was kinda busy so we sat at the bar. The bartender was pretty cool. His customer service was great. He was real helpful with recommendations from the drinks to the food. For appetizers we had this deep fried cauliflower with buffalo sauce. And lettuce wraps. Delicious!!! We also ordered a carne asada pizza that was to die for. Along with a combo pizza. We wanted to try their shrimp scampi pizza but they were out of that kind of shrimp. That was a bummer. We also ordered the shrimp fettuccine. All our food was delicious we had no complaints. The drinks were good as well. We had some sangrias and a few moscow mules. The Red berry sangria was my fav. Their prices are pretty reasonable too. Its a cool place to hang out and eat some GREAT FOOD! I will definitely eat here again next time i come to visit.

We love going to this CPK branch for dinner! We are around the area and have tried other locations such as Lakewood, Seal Beach, and Cerritos (before), but this is our favorite branch because of the location and servers, and the ambiance. I wrote this because we love Shannon - she is so attentive and friendly despite it usually being busy. We aren't really a fan of one of the male servers (bald guy) because of his strong personality and not very approachable when ordering (also talks too much), but Shannon & Ben are friendly servers. The female manager is also friendly!

Super friendly staff and knowledgeable at the take out counter. Was super bummed that they don't serve my favorite Waldorf Chicken Salad anymore, but settled for their margarita pizza, which I love and is always delicious.

I absolutely love the pizzas! Me and my husband get the california pizzas frozen from the store but let me tell you there is no comparison and you have to make a point to eat here. The pizzas are cooked in a real pizza oven! I would definitely recommend to get the thin crust or cauliflower crust because that makes it taste so much better. Great area and very safe!

Typical California Pizza Kitchen food. Nice restaurant and good wait staff. Bathrooms were less clean that I've seen in other restaurants like this...but not awful.
