Pepperoni pizza
John P.

A midscale restaurant with price that you'd expect. I ordered the chicken piccata and the sauce was good but the chicken was a bit rubbery. The pizza is pretty good but I'm still iffy if its worth the price. Prepare to spend a bit more than you would on your regular pickup pizza. The servers are very nice and place provides a very family-restaurant feel.

Mid pizza with drinks. The pizza was ok, nothing spectacular or note worthy-- crust seemed a little overdone and burnt, drinks were good. However I do want to note our server was attentive and provided excellent customer service.

Front entrance

First time at the Bakersfield location and was very impressed. One of the nicer locations I've been in. It was really nice inside and kept extremely clean. We were greeted and seated immediately. Our waiter came after a few minutes and apologized for not coming sooner, which was no problem at all for us but showed us he's an accountable guy! So many great items to choose from but we went with the works pizza and the California club pizza! While we were waiting the brought us the delicious bread and oil to snack on, was delicious! Pizzas came out cooked to perfection! Lots of toppings!! I'm a pizza connoisseur and usually chain restaurant pizza is my kryptonite but this pizza is different the crust was high quality pizza dough, with some firm Bite but soft at the same time while holding up against the flop!! Well done CPK! The Cali Club was loaded and so delicious we savored every bite while we kept asking why we don't come here more often, that's gonna change now! The prices are very reasonable considering the great atmosphere that feels upscale!! Just an all around great experience and well done to the Bakersfield location as this was our best experience and we've visited locations in quite a few upscale city's!

Burrito
William S.

This review is a little different than my normal ones. I am reviewing California Pizza Kitchen at Riverwalk, but it is the online ONLY portion for the food. The service and atmosphere I'm reviewing when I went to CPK and talked to the staff. The food I am reviewing is ONLY available through Door Dash. You cannot get it through CPK otherwise. Man vs. Fries. That is the name of the food I'm reviewing. You can find the restaurant in other locations, but not Bakersfield California. Friend of mine ordered us dinner. $26 burrito. Worth every penny. I reviewed a $12 burrito the other day and was disappointed about the price. I will gladly pay the 26 for this one. The only way to describe this burrito is to say it is delicious. It has a multitude of flavor and you can taste each and every ingredient. Get one if you like great tasting food. Next, the service and atmosphere. I went into CPK to ask why I could not find this on their menu. The lady I talked to was very nice. She explained about the Door Dash ordering and was very helpful. The atmosphere inside the restaurant was peaceful. I highly recommend ordering via Door Dash and getting Man vs. Fries.

I came to California Pizza Kitchen on a Friday afternoon. The restaurant was not full, only a few others eating in the afternoon. The place is pretty big, the atmosphere was a good vice to come chill. The service was good as in my server, the hostess that sat us wasn't inviting and she definitely looked like she didn't want to be there. We ordered the strawberry mango cooler which was refreshing. They served us some bread with olive oil. We also ordered the works pizza. The bread didn't taste like bread, idk it just tasted like it was premade. The pizza was soggy and didn't have any flavors, the sauce was not like pizza sauce. It was a disappointment as I been here a long time ago. They do serve other things than pizza so maybe I'll order something different if I decide to return.

Kids pizza
Angela T.

The restaurant was fairly empty as it was an early dinner for us. As we were leaving, it started to fill up more. It was clean and had a nice atmosphere. The service was excellent! The food was mostly good, the pea soup was not better than I could make it home and needed lots of salt and pepper. It just did not have any depth of flavor. My husband enjoyed his mushroom pizza and the kids enjoyed their Hawaiian pizza.

Chicken piccata
Angela B.

The food is almost always a 10 out of 10. I had the new burnt ends pizza: absolutely delicious. my mom and aunt agreed. My aunt had a chicken piccatta that was brought to the table without chicken. When we finally flagged down Guillermo he quickly remedied the error. My mom tried the new mediterranean pizza. She enjoyed it thoroughly. I shined away from it because I'm not a big fan of Kalamata olives. We shared a butter cake at the end that I found to be quite dry but both my mom and aunt enjoyed it thoroughly. Despite of being a chain restaurant, the ambience is classy, dimly lit with a stylish atmosphere. It's family friendly, I wouldn't bring a date here for an intimate dining experience.

Jambalaya, Sicilian and Spicy Chipotle Pizza with extra topping of Serrano Peppers were all excellent! Great Service and Ambience!

Lunch special
Sabrina J.

The lunch specials are well priced for the amount of food you get. The Neapolitan was absolutely delicious, with fresh creamy cheese. The pizza was cooked to perfection soft and crispy at the same time. I was pleasantly surprised with how fresh and delicate the whole lunch special was. The bbq chicken pizza was zesty and filling. The side salad of Thai crunch was a perfect combination to the bbq chicken pizza. The service was excellent, giving us time to look over the menu and checking on us without us having to look for him. The ambiance is pretty calm for a midday Wednesday. The music is a little loud but nothing too crazy. All and all we will be coming back for the much special.

Bolognese spaghetti and Italian salad
Jenna C.

So here's the thing-sometimes the service is really great here and other times it's really bad. You never know what you're going to get. On the plus side, their food is always good and they have a greeting lunch special that is $12.99 and you can pick to items from pizza, to soup, to salad to pasta. I personally love the bolognese spaghetti and my husband loves the pizza. We've also gotten the Italian salad, the Thai salad and the tomato soup and all of them are great. The place is always clean and quiet so no issues there. Overall, not a bad place to grab a nice lunch.

I love the side salad

The interior is upscale industrial, very attractive. If you don't mind a fairly loud place during peak hours it's a nice environment for a date night. I've always experienced great service, delicious food and tasty libations here. Definitely check them out. I understand they are opening new locations. I'm looking forward to trying them in the near future.
