What's up: Dinner with the family. This time we decided to grab some pizza and pasta at the Shops at Santa Anita. Parking: Mall parking is plentiful and depending when you go, it can get busy. We went around 6 pm and we were able to easily find a spot in their underground parking lot. Environment: Located inside the mall, it's on the first floors and not too far from Macy's. We told the staff that we brought our doggo and they seated us in the area that was closer to the mall side. We were even given a coloring set for the kiddo. Staff members were attentive and came by often to check up on us. What was ordered: - Avocado Club Egg Rolls (crispy) - BBQ Chicken Chopped Salad (good) - Wild Mushroom Pizza (tasty mushrooms) - The Works Pizza (yummy classic toppings) - Chicken Piccata (flavorful) - Cedar Plank Salmon (good, salmon was nice and moist) Yay/Nay/Meh: Yay. Overall, we had a good dining experience. The kiddo was happy, we got yummy food, and our doggo got to join in on dinner time with us. Staff members were friendly. Credit cards are accepted. read more

I usually really like CPK's avocado egg rolls. They're normally my go to whenever I come here, so I already knew what I wanted. I was at the mall and wanted a quick bite, so I decided to dine in. After getting seated, I immediately noticed there were quite a few flies around, which already made me a little weary about eating there. A table next to me was seated shortly after I was, but the server went over and took their order first even though I had been sitting there before them. Between that and the flies, I decided I would rather just get my food to go. When I told them I wanted takeout instead, the lady told me I needed to go to another counter to place my order. I ordered the avocado egg rolls there and waited about 10 minutes for them to be ready. Since it was takeout, the egg rolls came in a box with the dipping sauce in two small containers. When I opened the box, I was honestly a little disappointed. The rolls looked smaller than what I usually get at CPK, and they didn't look nearly as stuffed either. Flavor wise, they still tasted like the avocado egg rolls I normally enjoy, but the skin was overfried. It was so hard and crispy that it actually scraped the roof of my mouth while I was eating, which made them pretty unpleasant to eat. The filling was also meager compared to what I'm used to, so there wasn't enough of that creamy filling to balance out the fried wrapper. I've had these avocado egg rolls plenty of times and normally really enjoy them, so I know what they're usually like. Unfortunately, between the dining experience and the quality of the egg rolls this time, I can't say I enjoyed them nearly as much. read more

The food is not prepared Well, I would stay away from this location. I ordered the chicken tequila fettuccine there were no bell peppers in it or any of the vegetables. The noodles seem like they were reheated or something. It smelt bad there was no flavor. It was lousy. read more

Came to the mall on Sunday with family and it was popping, a nice young lady host helped set our table for 5 and came and got us when it was ready. She was very polite and nice and we didn't have to wait long, at around 4pm. Our server cant remember her name but she was tall and slender, Bee? but she was very personable and still managed to get our refills, bread, to us right away. It looked like she got slammed with tables but managed it very well. I myself drink a lot of water and tea and refilled it quickly. We had a nice visit and they had football on TVs displayed around that we watched while eating/waiting. read more

It's been a while since we ate at CPK. We came for a quick snack but we left disappointed. We sat at 4:55 PM waited 25 minutes for anyone to come to our table to take our order but the two servers on our section seems to not see us, the one guy sitting next us who sat around the same time left 5 minutes before we did. read more

Chain restaurants are hard to rate because we have expectations. If we are real though, chain restaurants aren't always satisfying anymore. Where the expectation is convenience, rather than excellence. Which is kind of sad. Especially today. This review is probably more about the experience than the food. We came and were seated by the kitchen. Right off the bat, the guy who was at the pass of the kitchen was chewing out a waiter saying things like "well you can tell them we don't do that! Why would you even tell them we would be able to accommodate that." Later, they served us our meal and the same guy asked if everything was ok? As my boyfriend was going to ask for more ranch, he walked away... why would you ask if everything was ok if you don't care and are just going to walk away? My fettuccine Alfredo came, it was SUPER watery. I wasn't going to say anything but my boyfriend spoke up because he heard our server even make an uneasy noise looking at us scoop the liquidy cream sauce. She said yeah it's not supposed to be like that. As she took it to this same guy (that has been causing a hostile environment for the rest of the staff) and kitchen, said "what do you mean?? That's how it's supposed to look! It's perfectly fine." Continued basically gaslighting saying there's not much more they can do. It was hostile enough that we didn't want to speak up on the other numerous issues we had. First, my mom had ordered the new spinach artichoke lasagna, corrected them as they almost ordered the short rib lasagna, then served us the short rib lasagna anyways.. like a true fatty fam, my mom ate it anyways. I didn't really like the pressure that they forced asking if the pasta was right, when they told us "there's not much they can do." Honestly with how much we paid, I would've rather gone to a hole in the wall Italian joint in Duarte or Pasadena. Sorry, probably not going to come back. A shame because I do love CPK. read more

California Pizza Kitchen - Raw steak - Pizza Near Me - Arcadia, California

Great location! This location is very convenient for us. We usually come and put our name down, then walk around until we get a text letting us know the table is ready. Service is a hit or miss. It really depends who you get and how busy they are. Carol is one of the servers that stand out, but I don't know if she still works here. Carol was one of the best servers for this . There always seen to be flies and/or gnats flying in the dining area. This is a huge turn off for a restaurant. I guess I only come back here for the convenience of the location. The food is good. It really depends what you get, and I usually stick to my usuals... Some of my all-time favorites are: chicken tequila fettuccine, Kung Pao spaghetti, Thai chicken Pizza, wild mushroom pizza and of course the barbecue chicken pizza. The complimentary bread that is served with olive oil is quite good. I always ask for balsamic vinegar to go along with it and it adds so much more flavor. My recently tried the Thai crunch salad and the carne asada pizza. They were both pretty good. To wrap it up, it's a very convenient place to eat and the food is good overall. However, the flies and gnats that fly around kind of ruin the dining experience. I would still come back just because it is convenient but I wish the management can do something about the flies and the gnats. read more

I made the RSVP online for 1:00pm on a Saturday. I thought people would be done eating lunch but it was packed. We got there about 10 minutes late but they seated us immediately. It was super crowded but the service was fast and friendly. This is the second time I've been here and I'm satisfied both times. The food was good and fresh. The ambience was well lighted and plenty of space to walk. read more

Have been coming to CPK my whole life and it's always a solid place for getting food and hanging out with friends and family. I really like their lunch deals- good selection and great value. Just a bit sad that they were out of their new item, the burnt ends pizza; that looked interesting. I got a bbq chicken pizza and thai salad instead. The pizzas and complimentary bread are nice with soft crusts and the thai salad crunch was refreshing. The restaurant is clean, spacious, and comfortable. The service was great. Fun location in the mall. Was able to be seated for a party of 4 on Monday lunch with no wait. read more

It had been quite some time since my last visit to this location, and I noticed a more open seating arrangement. We were pleasantly surprised that there wasn't a significant wait for dinner. However, we were a bit disappointed to find that the shrimp scampi pizza was no longer available on the menu. We were asked if we would care for some bread. In the past, bread was typically provided complimentary without needing to be requested. Naturally, we accepted the offer. The Spinach Artichoke Dip was not as thick as we've experienced at other restaurants; it was a bit more fluid. It arrived before the bread. We were pleased when the bread did arrive, as it was softer than we recalled. We ordered three different pizzas. One of the pizzas included cilantro, which was not indicated on the menu. We ended up removing all the cilantro from that particular pizza. We also requested additional BBQ sauce for the original BBQ chicken pizza. While the toppings on the Sicilian pizza were delightful, we found the crust to be somewhat soggy. The cornicione, however, was quite good. We appreciated the freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Our server was very pleasant, but we found the pizzas to be not quite as excellent as we remembered them. read more

Having a lunch meeting with my friend and we stopped here for the second time. This place is always neat and clean. It was on a weekday so there were no much wait. The waiter greeted us with a smile and seated us quickly. We saw the new item-- steak salad and Thai shrimp as the appetizer and decided to give them a try like we always do!! Love the food taste test!! The salad is very refreshing with texture and flavors, but the steak portion is a little disappointing. We love the shrimp appetizer!! Very crunchy and the sauce is sweet with a slight tangy. Highly recommended to try. read more

In this instance they not only missed the breed my order took 1 hour and 45 mins! I only u ordered one dish!!!!! This location is horrendous when it comes to fulfilling online and delivery orders.

I haven't had CPK in a while and was craving it while at the mall so we decided to dine in. There was no wait during the time so we got seated right away. A server came and took our order and the food came out really quick! We got started with some complimentary bread and ordered the Sicilian pizza, chicken tequila fettuccine and Mexican street corn. We actually got the Mexican street corn complimentary as well because we joined the CPK reward program, which gives you a free appetizer! Overall, the ambience was really chill and the staff was really nice! read more

This location is on the second floor on the Macy's side of the mall. It's nice looking and cleans. There's plenty of seating inside and outside. The staff was friendly and helpful. The host seemed tired but that's not problem. The bread they give for the table was actually decent. It was crisp while soft. I got the mushroom pepperoni sausage pizza. It was pretty good. Not too oily and well balanced amount of toppings. The thin crust was crispy. I only ended up eating half, maybe could've have a fourth slice. It's a good place to chill with friends/family. read more

Came on a weekday, clean, spacious restaurant with plenty of seats, attentive, friendly service, affordable lunch special, delicious gluten free pizza & salad. Their lunch specials are Mon-Fri from 11a-4p, pizza duo & sandwich duo were only $13.99 and pasta duo $12.99. All duos came with a cup of soup or lunch size salad. The manager personally came out to serve me my pizza & reassured me it was baked in a separate oven so there's no cross contamination. Their peach ice tea was also delicious with free refills, they even gave us a cup to go. Their lunch specials are such a great deal, I highly recommended it! CPK is located on the 2nd floor near Macy's. read more

First off, EXCELLENT SERVICE. We had a wonderful waitress who always checked on us and was so bubbly. Food came out within 10 minutes of ordering. You can choose to either sit on the inside part of the restaurant, outdoors, or by the walkway of the mall (which can appear awkward sometimes with strangers staring at you). Avocado Club Eggrolls: 10/10 AMAZING. No notes on this dish. It's savory and comes with ranch and thousand island dipping sauce. Macaroni & Cheese: 5/10. I FEEL SCAMMED. People on Tik Tok kept hyping up this dish and talking about how they changed the recipe and how good it was. I was once again a victim of these Tik Tok lies! This dish was so bland and the sauce didn't even coat the pasta noodles. Some of the fusilli was dry. I feel like I can make it better at home. They give you complimentary bread and olive oil, but that was VERY BLAND as well. Sadly, CPK's quality of food has gone down. However, I wouldn't mind going back again for the avocado egg rolls. Parking is convenient and free since it's in a mall! read more

One of the great places to eat at when visiting the The Shops Santa Anita. Never had a long wait. You can call in before hand so you don't have a long wait. Everyone loves the pizza here. The mushroom pepperoni sausage is one of my family's go tos. If you're not feeling pizza there are other plates to choose from. There are different pasta and salad creations to choose from the menu. Salads I recommend the Cobb salad or the Thai crunch. Pasta I would go with Jambalaya linguini fini. It has great flavor with shrimp, chicken, andouille sausage, and ham. The service has always been on point. Great place to come enjoy a great meal after all that shopping. read more

We received a gift card from the holidays and finally got around to using it. Got to say, the food and service has been the best I've seen in years! Our waitress was Lauren and she was so amazingly lovely and attentive. She made great suggestions and always checked in to make sure we had everything we needed. From the start, the free bread was perfectly toasted and great with the herb olive oil (ask for balsamic on the side) She suggested the spinach dip and it was a great starter, surprisingly large portion! The Sicilian pizza was exceptional. The pizza came out pipping hot, the dough had the most toasty char while the inside was light and fluffy. The toppings felt super fresh and of good quality like the fresh basil. Soooo good! I always order a Cobb salad, standard, but still hits the spot. Thoroughly impressed with our visit. read more

First of all, the food is not what it used to be (or maybe it's just this location?). We ordered a bbq chicken salad and it was bland compared to what it used to be. But the bigger issue is that they are innudated with FLIES! We couldn't eat comfortably because we were constantly swatting at flies. It was gross, and when we called the waitress' attention to it, all she said was "Yeah, I know, I'm sorry". Same with the manager. read more

California Pizza Kitchen at Victoria Gardens is always a reliable spot for a casual and satisfying meal. I almost always go for the BBQ chicken pizza because it never misses. The crust is just right, the sauce is tangy, and the combination of chicken, red onions, and cilantro somehow feels both comforting and slightly fancy. The space is clean and comfortable, and the service has been consistently friendly on my visits. It is a solid go-to when you want something familiar but still a step up from your usual pizza run. read more

Definitely one of the better places to eat at the mall. They have a large menu with plenty of options from pizza to pasta, salads, and lots of different appetizers. Both the Neapolitan burrata pizza and braised short rib ragu were delicious and good portions. The food comes out more quickly than I expected, but they offer you complimentary bread while you wait. Staff are all very friendly and it is a nice atmosphere. read more

I love CPK. Whenever I come here, it's so hard for me to choose what I like because everything is delicious. My fav is their Kung Pao Spaghetti and their Original BBQ Chicken Pizza. This location has friendly atmosphere. Today we had Michael as our server. He is a very nice guy. As busy as he can be, I noticed he goes around his assigned table to make sure everything is good. Customers are being taken care of. Shout out to him , good customer service. Great place to eat! read more

Went to CPK finally since it has been years! My husband has never been and thought it would be great date day along with walking around the mall. Unfortunately they didn't any of the cravings I was having anymore. The wardolf salad l...gone! The Gorgonzola pear pizza...gone! I was bummed! So I tried the Thai crunch chicken salad. It was great. Good crunch, great flavor. Could have used some extra dressing, but overall great. Husband order the pepporini pizza with ham and sausage. Also another great choice. For the appetizer we had the Mexican corn and that was probably my favorite of all the meal. Another favorite was fountain Fresca! One of my favorites. Unfortunately, not sure if we will be back anytime soon. Maybe for just appetizers. read more

2/100 Yelp review for 2025. Returned to this location for a birthday party (last weekend of April). Great service!!! The family of the birthday girl brought in their own bday cakes (5 small cakes).

California Pizza Kitchen's value menu is good, but the slow kitchen and food quality issues make the overall experience frustrating. It is not just this time, but every visit to The restaurant. To make matters worse, the bbq pizza was burned. We did not send it back for fear of another lengthy wait time. Every visit involves a long wait time despite the restaurant not being busy. Please explain this issue at your Arcadia location. read more

CPK in Arcadia--hands down the worst service experience I've ever had. We walked in on Sunday around 4:30 PM. It wasn't busy, and we were greeted immediately. The hostess tried to take us to a booth in the back, but I asked if we could sit in the main area at a table where a party had just left. She said to wait while it was cleaned, then walked away. We stood there waiting while the dirty table sat completely untouched. When I asked the hostess for an update, she brushed me off with, "I'm only a hostess, I don't know," and literally ignored me. We finally flagged down a manager, who listened to our complaint, did absolutely nothing to resolve it, and then vanished. When I went back to the hostess, she gave me attitude: "I tried to give you a table, but you didn't want it." Is "silence is golden" your customer service policy now? Unbelievable that management and staff think treating customers like an inconvenience is acceptable. We definitely won't be back. read more

We went to CPK today because we we're starving. Really quickly I will say I grew up going to this CPK and the service was always so bad, which is why I hate going. Today they took such a LONG time to bring out our food. Not only is service long but the waitress there took our order wrong, no problem. The waitress puts in a new order for us after getting it wrong... Tell me why it takes 15 MINUTES to bring out an italian salad... I'm lost. Anyway, I truly believe the management at this CPK has always been so terrible because they consistently lack good and timely service. My fiance tried to convince me that the food is good but this CPK's food tastes like heated up left overs. read more

Ok so this is based on the fact that they forgot my son in laws food. We all ordered, they took all of our orders accurately. The waitress repeated our order exactly how it was given to her. And everyone except my son in law got his food. We waited, 5...10mins at the 15 minute mark we asked a passing server about the pizza and she went to the cook and he shook his head saying no, no pizza was ordered. So we had to wait a total of 25 minutes for his pizza. We had all finished eating and he finally got his food. What a shame that they made us wait this long. And no communication from the server, not even to tell us hey we are backed up. Nothing. They completely forgot to put his order in. So we are waiting for my son in law to finish eating his food so that we can leave. California pizza kitchen, please do better, it would have been a much better experience had this not happened. read more
