California Pizza Kitchen

They only do a salad and pizza combo, which is what I wanted, during the week. They suggested I get a kids sized pizza and a salad, which is what I did and was actually a good alternative in terms of portions and variety. The Waldorf Chicken Salad was good even without dressing. The pizza I chose was the barbecue chicken, and it was woefully dry. Barely edible.
That said, the service (Holli) was excellent and the adult beverage menu is pretty excellent, too. I prefer to shop local and small, so CPK isn’t my pizza spot of choice, but when in Lenox… that’s where we ended up.

Okay so I’m not what you call a «regular Unilocaler» my waitress had informed me about the survey and I lost my receipt so here I am!
Where do I start? The food was amazing trust my servers instinct I went with the salad, pizza, and sangria she suggested all were amazing!!!
Thai crunch
Jerk Jamaican
And a light colored sangria all were delicious
On top of that the service was beyond amazing. My server Maya was awesome everything she said was on total point. And on top of that the conversation was easy and comfortable. We signed up for some rewards and got 5 $ off our check that day after our bill being about 120. She even noticed my son struggling with his math and brought him to another table and showed him this crazy short cut to do multiplication! He’s been asking about her ever since. We will be back soon. Her manager Aaron was very polite and professional as well. All in all a great experience.

Yeah, okay… So I came to ATL from California, and «yes» I have had the pleasure of California Pizza Kitchen on the west coast, so can the east coast really do California Pizza the way Cali can?
I was shopping at Lenox and met a few friends there. We were really working up an appetite running around this HUGE mall. There are several choices in the mall proper to decide upon; however, we all agreed a martini lunch with salad was in order. CPK it is!
There was a little wait to be seated, but that was okay. We grabbed cocktails from the bar and the time truly flew by as we planned out the rest of our shopping excursion. The hostess called our name for the table and off we were. The restaurant is beautifully designed, especially for a chain restaurant. It overlooks much of the Lenox mall area and is totally open in design. The employees looked happy to work in such an open atmosphere – shoot, I would like to work in an open environment like that too. It was really modern, clean and fresh looking. Everyone had smiles on their faces and cute shirts, easily identifiable.
Once seated, our server greeted us with charm and knowledge about the menu. There were several salad options, so we wanted to know what was her favorite – and why. She never skipped a beat. Informed us about the ingredients, the pairings, the most popular salad, etc. She did not just describe salads to us, she brought out a couple of her favorites from each section of the menu. The choices all sounded amazing – this is going to be harder than I originally thought.
We decided to go «family style» so we could try a few items but not commit to anything:
Bianco Flatbread
Thai Crunch Salad
Chicken Tequila
And lots of martinis…
The flat bread was really delicious. I think there were about three or four kinds of cheeses sprinkled on this thin bread along with fresh sage and truffle cream. Really simple, yet really tasty. Next came the salad. It was absolutely HUGE. There were rice sticks, fried won tons, a delicious mix of cabbage slaw, tons of veggies, peanuts, chicken, avocado and a stupendous dressing to tie it all together. Finally, the pasta came out after the salad. A massive plate of spinach fettuccine served with chicken, onions and peppers, cilantro and some little kick of heat in a creamy sauce.
Everything was yummy. I think what I love about CPK is that they are super consistent no matter which location you visit. That is always a plus in my book.
Stephani Smiles for CPK ;)

Being from Los Angeles this is a very popular place and I enjoy eating at cpk. I’ve always enjoyed their selection of pizzas and they always keep the menu fresh by adding things to it.
The spinach artichoke dip is very popular and a must try apprizer. Their pizzas are big, 6 slices (well maybe not big for some). I usually like splitting a pizza and salad with someone. They even have different crust options to choose from.
They are a little pricy for pizza, anywhere between 12 and 16 dollars for 1. Their pastas are good too and portions are big.
In addition the service great! Our waitress was fast and our food came out within 10min of ordering. I highly recommend this pace. I have been going to cpk for years and have never once been disappointed with any of the food.

I go to CPK for their think crust pizza and my most favorite was their Tiramisu! I am so sad that they no more offer that in their menu! I wish they can include that back– I will increase my frequency of going to this place again! I have been to mostly all of their branches in Atlanta! I like this one but I don’t like that this one is in mid of the mall! It’s give more food court feeling then restaurant! Service is great! We had once issue with service and left the comment! The same waiter served us next time and he was at his best! But I loved the best CPK at perimeter!

Overall this place was ok.
A friend and l decided to eat here because of the convenience. We ordered Avocado Club Egg Rolls, Petite Wedge, and The Original Hand Tossed BBQ Chicken Pizza. The petite wedge had zero flavor which I guess is normal for iceberg lettuce. The avocado club egg roll just tasted crunchy, however the sauces were good. The pizza was not my favorite. I’m not a fan of thin crust. The crust was very thin I would have hated to see what the thin pizza looked like. It was overall underwhelming. I won’t be returning.

They recently remodeled this location and it is gorgeous now! It’s modern and up to date. The tables are made of butcher block and they have a ton of that reclaimed wood on the walls. It was a pleasant surprise to see how beautiful everything was. Ok on to the food., I’ve never had anything bad from this establishment. I’ve tried so many of their pizzas I could tell you how each one tasted. But my absolute favorite is the spicy chipotle pizza. I’m a big fan of corn and black beans & this pizza has that and more. You also can’t go wrong with any of their salads. I usually get the salmon one. I usually don’t do deserts but my best friend introduced me to the butter cake and omgggggggg it’s so good! You have to get it w/​some ice cream because it comes out warm & the ice cream helps to balance the temperature. The staff is always so friendly. The servers, hostess, and to go employees always seem to be in a happy mood. Overall 5 stars.

I would say that this location of CPK is the center of the Lenox Mall Food Court. I’ve eaten at the Lenox CPK over the years and am still a loyal fan of California Pizza Kitchen. I’ve dine there twice since they finished their renovation a few months ago. They are still busy as ever as I always see people waiting to get seated which is a good sign that their food is still great even after renovation.
My first time after the renovation was for an early dinner after shopping for a few hours. They did not have any available tables so we opted to sit at the bar since we were starving. We ordered light by sharing the CHICKEN CLUB PIZZA, which is my usual order at CPK. I love how they give complimentary slices of French Baguette and olive oil for dipping. We definitely helped ourselves by asking for more. The service was great near the beginning but was dwindling toward the end. Had to grab our server’s attention several times. I think next time I would wait a bit and sit at a regular table. The bartender was both a server and making drinks at the same time.
My most recent visit was exceptional. I was able to try a lot of their new items from their menu. Service was phenomenal. Everyone was so nice and described to us the new items on their menu.
Overall, I do see myself dining at CPK quite frequently in the future. I love a few items on their menu and I can’t find it anywhere else. My mom loves the pizzas here as well.

Stopped by today for a quick brunch and the food and service were very prompt and excellent. I never seen any server like that before, very attentive and cared about her customer. Definitely make a difference.
We had artichoke dip and kungpao pasta and cajun pasta. they all very tasty and good portion. Will definitely come back.

This is not the California Pizza Kitchen you might remember from times past. Everything is new and simply splendid.
The Great:
1. The food is completed reinvented from my last PIzza Kitchen experience years ago (ironically in California)… — they have amazing salads, gourmet pizzas that are some of the best I ever had in my life, and even spectacular deserts.
2. The drinks are super well made and super creative — avocado, blueberry, and etc. — not too alcoholic, but perfectly well balanced.
3. The décor has completely changed! They used reclaimed wood to give this open and super modern feel.
4. People watching — where do I start.
5. Some of the best service I have EVER HAD.
Minor annoying features
1. The bathroom is a bit removed — but a good stroll after amazing food is well warranted
2. Parking can get interesting — this is Lenox square mall after all.

This was my choice for a work lunch. Located in Lenox Square, California Pizza Kitchen is very convenient to our office. It was not busy at all when we arrived. Who knew California Pizza Kitchen offered more than pizza? Well, I know now. They also have salads, pasta, flatbreads, main entrees, and other items. I ordered a white pizza, usually my fave. They have a different spin on the white pizza, adding spinach to it. Since I have liked spinach on other pizzas I have ordered, I thought I’d give it a go. Big mistake. I didn’t realize this would be stewed spinach. Ick! Who wants that on pizza? It was terrible. I tried to pick out as much of it as I could. I was also not a fan of the cheese — tasted weird. Well, at least they had Coke freestyle. That is the best thing I can say about this place.

It’s a good chain restaurant, but most of the time have waiting list. I like their pizza and the arugula salad. I order the pesto pasta with shrimp and Cesar salad and both were very good. The kids pasta sauce was a little bit dry but it was a lot and 2 small kids can share it.
Overall it’s a good restaurant.

Shopping with my wife on Saturday and wanted a sit down lunch without a huge price tag. Well, first off the place has been completely remodeled. Great job ! It was the topic of our meal conversation (: But let me back up. The Host staff was warm and welcoming. The waiter, (Brad), was friendly and knowledgeable regarding the ingredients… We both loved our food at a reasonable price and will definitely return. A nice retreat in an otherwise frantic Mall. (Pre– Xmas).

Absolutely horrible experience especially if you are ordering take out. If you order ten things be ready to make ten trips before you get everything you ordered! And when you go back they will tell you how they had indeed given everything that you asked for. And the worst of all is that all this happens after you check with them twice when if all is put when collecting the order (coz yes this is not the first time it has happened to you.) They are liars at best.
Ahhh. and in the end when I check the order is still wrong. Can the service BE any worse?

From the beautiful dining room and friendly waitstaff to the delicious food it was definitely the highlight of my day. I had checked out the menu after seeing it in the mall as my coworkers and I were in town for a meeting, and surprised at all the choices. I had the half-​sized roasted veggie salad and also the two soup combo with Sedona Tortilla and Split Pea. Way too much food but somehow I managed.
We unknowingly timed it just right, this was their first day open at the Lenox mall in Atlanta. Highly recommend it!

We took my daughter there after shopping to get her pizza and we were looking forward to the Gluten Free pizza there, but they had run out and informed us before seating, which is appreciated. Apparently, gluten sensitivity is becoming more popular and that’s a good thing in my book.
We asked about an appetizer that wasn’t marked GF and the kind manager Aaron went well above and beyond the call of duty to pull one together. We were blown away by the kindness of him and the staff. We got the Waldorf Salad and my daughter got the white pizza. All were good.

The jerk chicken pizza is the BOMB and I’m a huge sweet tea guy. This place has a cool vibe and good staff. The one in Lenox Mall is my favorite~

An impromptu lunch during work. We were going to explore the food court but got stopped here instead.
Lunch service had died down since it was later in the afternoon. We were seated promptly by a nice guy who constantly toyed with us (he was kinda cute hehe) and took good care of us. He had us download the CPK app so we could get a free appetizer. My free appetizer was the white corn guacamole and chips, and on top of that, I ordered the Spicy Chipotle Chicken Pizza. The guacamole was light and easy to eat, although it wasn’t seasoned too strongly, so it lacked it a little flavor. However, I still couldn’t stop eating it. The pizza was hearty and full of flavor, which was completely opposite of my guacamole. But the kick it gave you was relieved by a light lime and avocado sauce (I assume was what it was, the menu didn’t indicate that this was provided).
I left CPK with half a pizza left over and a full belly.

Been to many CPKs but the service here was great. Mojitos were delicious. I usually order my favorite which is the BBQ chicken chopped salad or the BBQ chicken thin crust pizza but this time I decided to try the mushroom pizza. Our order was messed up and our server realized before he even brought it to us. He let us keep both and didn’t charge us. Mushroom pizza was good. I would definitely come back here again especially because of the great service and presentation of food. Location is great inside Lenox mall.

This place is a bit of a nightmare…
Appetizers were alright, the food is good here. The service sucks ass.
Sorry to be crude, but it just does.
An hour to get a white pizza, veggie pizza and Thai crunch salad? Oh ya, and no refills on our drinks.
After the long wait we FINALLY got our pizza and it was ICE COLD. Thank God I already asked for a box because if I wanted to eat it at the table I would’ve pitched a fit.
I didn’t see our waitress forever and after using two gift cards and still receiving a $ 45 bill the manager was completely unconcerned.
After I had mentioned that we were in a huge hurry he wanted more explanation. After then learning the pizzas were served cold he gave the false air that he gave a damn and explained to me in so many words that the hood was broken.
I’m in the industry I know things happen but if there was a kitchen issue the manager should have come by the table or AT LEAST our server could’ve given us a heads up.
