Had a great experience at the bar. Ruby, the bar tender was fantastic. She made our time there very comfortable! Wouldn't hesitate going back!
Another absolutely great experience at a CPK! At this location we had Chris as our server and he did a great job! We sat at the bar for the football play off game and weren't sure what we wanted to order. He was patient with us and even helped us order by giving us recommendations. Hand boy are we glad we listened! Per his recommendation we ordered the dynamite shrimp and it surpassed our expectations! Not only did we get a hefty amount of perfectly cooked plump shrimp but it was also on a bed of slaw/salad that paired perfectly. The crunch and sauce of the shrimp were everything! We stuck to our usual for pizza (the Sicilian) but also decided to do dessert this time. We went with the butter cake and icecream. Moist, sweet, warm and soooo comforting. Must have icecream with it! To drink we ordered the golden Cadillac margarita and the sparkling mojito. Both delicious and refreshing. You can tell they use good quality ingredients.
CPK is probably one of my favorite pizzas in the area. It's definitely more on the high end on price for pizza but I would say it's worth it. The staff is super friendly, the food and drinks come out pretty quick, just be aware that every time I came here it seems like they become full pretty quick and you may have to wait a bit for a seat.
I love pizza so I pretty much go to every California Kitchen. This location is nice and clean with very nice staff. Sometimes they don't have enough staff and your wait for food is a little long but other than that is great for entire family and friends to gather. The food is always good and fresh.
Lately the food and service has been superb! I definitely recommend Viking here in the Northridge area. I am sure I already did a review, but it disappeared. Tonight I ordered a glass of sangria and barbecue chop salad. That was so good and the sangria was perfect and just enough sweetness. The Amigante is always good very bright inside and always clean. Usually it's crowded but likely tonight we did not have to wait is located right next to the Northridge fashion mall so it does get busy. Also, it's plenty of places to park with easy access. -Marshay D.
We like CPK especially our child so when we received an email regarding 50% off Mac and Cheese promotion until July 31st, we decided to order for pick up. We frequent this Northridge location and have celebrated many occasions here like graduation and birthdays. Sometimes we also just dine in for a quick lunch. Today was a simple online order for pick up with CPK's Mac and Cheese 50% off promotion. The young lady at the pick up counter was very friendly and welcoming. As soon as I arrived for the pick up she asked for my name. My order was ready at exactly 11:30am which was the time I requested my order to be ready. The plenty of times we've dined here, staff was always great and provided great customer service. We've never experienced anything less. Thank you CPK, Northridge location.
