California Pizza Kitchen at Pasadena in Pasadena

We have enjoyed this place over the last year or so living in Pasadena, until tonight. We ordered a large Caesar salad and added sauteed salmon. The addition of salmon is $6.25. Having eaten Caesar salad in many restaurants where you can add on salmon, fish, chicken, etc. $6 to $8 for a small filet seems the normal. When we pick the salad up and brought it to the car, we opened it and looked and were surprised to find small salmon pieces that almost didnt look like salmon and so my husband proceeded to take it back into the restaurant to ask about it. The girl who helped him seemed surprised that he was expecting a small fillet of salmon for the $6.25 that we paid. She also wasnt very helpful as far as accommodating or trying to make it right when the salmon was sparse and looked honestly like it was cooked three or four times. We took it home and gave it a go and unfortunately it wasnt very good. The salad itself was limp like it had been sitting around and the small portion of salmon will just call them, nuggets were hard over seasoned and way overcooked.The hostess at the front was sure to let my husband know that if he wanted an actual fillet of salmon he could do so for $15. But unfortunately, when youre ordering online, the menu doesnt reflect that as an option, so theres no way to know that. Ive added a photo so you can surely know what youll be getting for your $6.25. such a bummer because we do like their pizza.

Walked here so we didn’t have to worry about parking.Outside dining looks lovely but it was way too hot!We were seated pretty fast and got a nice seat by the window! It felt funny looking out at the USC Pacific Asia Museum while eating Italian food, haha!The bread and olive oil combo was yummy, always love a fresh warm bread!Couldn’t decide between the Mexican Street Corn and the other corn dish but the waiter shared his personal fav and so we went with the Mexican Street Corn and I HIGHLY recommend it!!! It was amazingly delicious and will leave you wanting to lick your plate clean!!Ordered the sangria flight and it was so good! Also tried another drink that I can’t remember the name but it wasn’t as good (maybe the pacific drink but it was alcoholic. Had passionfruit and pineapple).We got the pepperoni pizza and it was so delish!!They have all sorts of summer deals going on (kids eat free at certain times and you can order frozen pizza for $8 to take back if you order another pizza for your first meal. Check the website)!Overall, it was a great environment, pretty clean bathroom, great waiter service, and delicious food!!

Great selection of food with friendly and attentive Staff. BBQ Chicken Salad is fantastic. Large servings! I highly recommend for a large Lunch or Dinner. Also has a 🍸 Bar, if youd like a cocktail.

Had a veggie pizza and the nachos. Descent for the price. The service was very good and the accommodated a single guest.

We had the personal size pepperoni and cheese pizza. The cheese pizza wasnt cooked enough (hence the blond color) and not enough cheese. We also ordered a child size ice cream sundae, and other locations put a drizzle of chocolate, sprinkles, whipped cream and a cherry...all we got was a scoop of plain ice cream 😒 overall, just ok.

I am a huge pizza fanatic slongside my girlfriend and as per tradition trying a new pizza spot, we gave this one a shot. Safe to say, it was amazing! Their bbq chicken pizza is a must try for the first time(get thin crust if you can). Their new dynamite shrimp appetizer is awesome and probably my favorite thing their aside the pizza. As for dessert, we ordered ice cream with the shortcake and it made for a perfect way to end off the meal and was awesome. I reccomend this to anyone wishing to eat dine in with pizza

Hadn’t been into a CPK restaurant in years. I’d give a 4.5 stars if I could. Food was great, the mocktail selection was very impressive and we loved the cucumber one! Can’t go wrong with getting Butter Cake for dessert. It was busy so we had to ask for water and flag down the server for the check. Overall, we had a lovely evening though!

CPK is one of my favorite places to go. Came to dinner here because I was in the area. They seated us fairly quickly however our waitress was nowhere in sight. The other employees made sure that we were taken care of by getting us drinks and bread while we waited. When it became apparent that they couldnt find our server one of the other servers took our order so that we wouldnt have to wait long. Our server eventually manifested but I was so glad we got to keep the nice young man that originally began helping us. Great team work CPK!

I love this California pizza kitchen because of the outdoor seating area. It’s quite romantic and perfect if you’re going on a date and it’s also nice if you’re bringing kids because you can walk around while you wait for your food or before and after the food at CPK is usually delicious and I ordered the dumplings for the first time and it was very tasty. My mom ordered the two soups in a bowl and she also enjoyed both her soups. Both my kids loved their pasta and pizza. The service was great and I will definitely go again and I have gone before multiple times.

(7pm Thursday)Parking will be validated, take your ticket.Superbly Synchronized staff! Food came out all at once, Jonathan was on it.Outdoor dining is an option and seems more quaint and warm, less noise too.Pizza was light and fluffy, but I preferred the focaccia.Coming back to dine out in the courtyard next time
