In Short
Founded in Beverly Hills in 1985, these eateries with the trademark yellow, black and white color scheme have spread nationwide. The decor consists of simple wood and glass with roomy black leather booths. The thin-crust pizzas come with innovative toppings from Asia, Latin America and the Southwest; signature pizzas like the Original BBQ Chicken and Jamaican Jerk Chicken compete with old standbys like pepperoni and traditional cheese. Pastas, salads, soups and sandwiches round out the menu.

The fire-oven-baked crust (good balance between soft and crisp) and the flavors of the toppings are why this place always stands out. BBQ chicken is the original and best. The Thai chicken is flavorful, nutty and sweet. The Santa Fe chicken is modestly spicy with fresh pico de gallo. And last time, I tried the chicken Waldorf salad (dressings on the side). Ask for lemon vinaigrette - creamy and tangy. Service was helpful, refilling the drinks and knowledgeable about the salad (so I'd know what to order if I wanted it again). And they validate parking for 3 hours, so you can walk around at the mall for a while.

2 for 2 - Both times I went to CPK I have had poor service. It is unforunate becasue the food is pretty good. The server took forever and when the food came out it was cold. The soup wasn't available so I had to get the slaw which I didnt want. The time before this, the server spilled my drink on my lap and ruined my pants. There are plenty of other places to get non-traditional pizza without the headache!

While I still remain a fan of CPK, this location is terrible. Our waitress sat down and conversed with her friends and family at a nearby table more than she checked on us. Enough said.
