My wife and I were looking forward to a BBQ chicken pizza, too bad it was better in our memory than what was on the plate. Service was also extremely slow, think they only had one server working the entire dining room the entire night. The butter cake dessert was fine.

We love their chipotle flavor pizza. Parkings spots available but sometimes may have to wait. Service is excellent..

Ordered the BBQ chicken pizza on their regular crust, despite it being regular crust the crust is thin, the edges are thicker and not the super thin crispy crust but was thin enough for my liking without needing to do the extra thin. They currently have a take and bake for an additional $8 for any pizza! Don't forget to sign up for the loyalty app!

We are regulars at CPK. My kids love it. We lost our power from past 2 days and decided it's time to take kids to their favorite place. We entered on a Monday night. It's pretty empty. The nice manager sat us down. Our waitress came in talking to us chewing gum, no smile, no warmth from the get go. We ordered three dishes and you can tell that she is completely disinterested in doing her job. Not even once in the one hour we were there she smiled. We asked for a box to take the leftovers home. It was literally thrown on the table. I am thinking to myself what have we done to get this treatment. I have been a waitress before. I know how to treat others but yesterday left a bitter taste in my mouth. If you are at a job why sulk, why not give the best you can. People are coming there to get a nice meal and you can't even greet with a smile. Anyways the food was 10/10 but the service was 2/10. I really hope that I never get to see her again when I go next. They really need to hire people who appreciate the job no matter what it is. I did feel like not leaving any tip but the people pleaser in me still walked away giving 18%.

I absolutely love CPK! I had no idea this location opened up, so I was excited to stop by! They were pretty quiet and not too crowded, which was very nice. The staff was extremely friendly and were even making conversation with us! We sat at the bar and were able to talk with the bartender and servers which was super nice. I have always loved CPK, so I knew their pizza would be great and already knew what I wanted! We got the California Club pizza and Sicilian pizza. One thing I will say is they are always changing the ingredients. I have been getting the California Club for years now - it used to come with arugula and then changed to lettuce, and this time I noticed it had green onion on it. I will admit I didn't read the menu (since I've been getting the pizza for so long I just assumed I knew what came in it), so that is my fault. But that's something for me to note and remember for next time! Overall, everything was delicious! I also want to highlight how friendly the staff was. The bartender recommended a drink to me and I didn't end up liking it, and he was so gracious to make me a new one that I'd like. That was so sweet and he definitely did not have to do that!

Someone help this place out. Right when you walk in the restaurant it feels bleak. I sat at the bar and sat there and sat there. No one came behind the bar or even acknowledged me at all so I walked out. Disappointing because the pizza looks good.

They were not open at the hours publicly stated. We drove here for nothing. Not keeping your hours up to date is disrespectful to your customers and wasteful of their time.

Love this location! Parking is easy, the bartender is fantastic, and servers are attentive. CPK has the best happy hour deals! Half off on drinks and appetizers and, my husband's favorite, pizza and a beer for least than many places price for a beer alone.

Come here almost weekly for their happy hour since I live nearby and one of the servers (angel I believe) always recognize us and he's nice and friendly. It's near the costco and Lawrence Caltrain station but it's kinda hidden inside a neighborhood. The whole apartment plaza complex with the Nob Hill and Starbucks is newly developed and nice. Wish more people knew about this place.
