California Pizza Kitchen

Summary: slow and bad service. 2 hour wait, poor service and rude.Upon arriving the outdoor patio was closed, though it was very dry and not raining. The manager said they had not staffed for outdoor seating which is very strange on Mother's Day.We were told it would be an hour wait. Then upon waiting an hour we returned to get our seats to find they would like us to wait another 45 minutes. After two hours of waiting we finally were seated. We requested some bread as we now very hungry from the wait. They told there was no bread available at this time. Then a few minutes later the table that arrived next to us received their bread to eat. I am very disappointed the experience here and service/management. I highly suggest you make plans elsewhere especially during busy times as they are very very slow and wasted part of afternoon unnecessarily. The wait was not even acknowledged in any form of discount or apology.

I am a strong advocate of service. No matter how the good food is.Our server might had a rough day, but service was quite dry. I truly understand that it was crowded, but you need to be attentive to your guests. Small things like straw and repeating the order matters. Now coming to food, Thai Salad and spicy chipotle pizza was the highlight

Saturday lunch time and no wait. Menu had lots of options and more than I anticipated weren’t pizza. Although we went there for pizza, I ended up with a power bowl and it was FANTASTIC! My daughter had the carne asada pizza and said it was great as well. Noticed they had gluten free as well as cauliflower crust options so I feel like this would be a good place for people dieting as well as those that aren’t to all be satisfied with the menu. Server always had our drinks full and BONUS, take a pizza home to bake yourself later for $7 😳. I bet it will be fantastic as well. Bathrooms were clean, restaurant was clean, I highly recommendEdit: adding take and bake pics. Pizza was fantastic even baked at home, only complaint was there weren’t baking instructions included, so I googled them and found them quickly (pictured with this review)
