California Pizza Kitchen
We operate CPK Restaurants, a full-service casual dining concept serving oven-fired California-style pizzas, pastas, salads, specialty alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, and related menu items. Our restaurants are designed for guests looking for a sit-down meal with fresh, seasonally inspired ingredients and a menu that includes signature pizzas, main plates, lunch options, and better-for-you items like gluten-free crust, cauliflower crust, and Power Bowls. We serve customers in urban and suburban locations, with restaurants in shopping centers, mixed-use developments, airports, and other non-traditional sites. Our business is built around a consistent restaurant system that includes approved recipes, food preparation and presentation standards, distinctive design, and service methods. We also may provide catering and delivery from select locations, depending on local market needs and approved operating procedures.
