California Pizza Kitchen

California Pizza Kitchen opened its first restaurant In Beverly Hills in 1985. Former federal prosecutors Rick Rosenfield and Larry Flax combined their passion for food with fresh high-quality ingredients to create innovative pizzas such as The Original BBQ Chicken, Thai Chicken, and Jamaican Jerk Chicken. Rick and Larry gave California a place in the pizza pantheon alongside Chicago and New York. Their California twist on global flavors resonated with guests, and almost immediately,CPK was a bustling spot for business and family gatherings.

Also served are creative salads, made-to-order pastas, soups, sandwiches, appetizers and desserts, including favorites like our Chicken Picatta, Singapore Shrimp Rolls and our famous BBQ Chicken Pizza.
