CPK is a classic. You get what you expect. We had Henry as our server and he was wonderful. Enjoyed our salad and pizzas. I really liked the burnt ends pizza, but we were told it might be leaving the menu soon. Will probably be back at some point! read more

Came here during happy hour and enjoyed some pupus and drinks at very reasonable prices. We also ordered a pizza and a pasta dish. To my surprise, everything was pretty good. Of course they are salty but that's expected. The best part was the cocktail! Man it was so strong! I took off 1 star because we were seated at the corner of the restaurant, right next to the bathroom, while half of the restaurant was empty. Why? read more

The waiter checked on us once and asked if the food was too our liking. This was when I literally found a bug in my food and sent it back. I replied, "Uh... sorta?" But she did nothing. Then I needed to ask if they still gave bread. She forgot to give it to us. She came back with a slice and one that was cut in half. We also asked if they had smaller spoons for our toddler to use, but the plastic ones were not offered (those are much smaller than the metal ones). Finally, they gave us the wrong bill. The bill they gave us was 3x our bill. They did not even offer an apology for the bug... Terrible experience. read more

California Pizza Kitchen - Bug in food - Pizza Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Updating previous review from years ago. Not sure why this place doesn't get better reviews. The food is always delicious and even though they are almost always busy, the food comes out pretty quickly. Sorry I didn't take more new pics, I only got a pic of the buffalo cauliflower which was delicious! We came during happy hour so it was discounted as well. Always a solid choice for lunch or dinner at Ala Moana shopping center. read more

We had an early dinner here and boy wees we happy. Drinks were delicious and the food was great. The service was quick and attentive abs the server was kind and friendly. The ambiance was a chill restaurant we even saw a dog sitting in the both next to us. It was super cute. He was a good boy. This restaurant is located right by Mai Tais! read more

This is definitely the better branch compared to the one at Kahala Mall, for several reasons--one of the biggest being the friendlier and more attentive service. I also tried their take-home pizza for just $11 (about half the regular price) and was genuinely impressed. It was delicious and exceeded my expectations. Highly recommended. On their complimentary house baked bread, cold one should be avoided; nothing beats the freshly baked that is still warm to the touch. read more

Girls night... There are probably many reasons I rarely dine at the Ala Moana location which is located on the 4th floor amongst many other restaurants is that it's very popular and always crowded but as we planned this holiday girls night out this was the venue and gosh what a wonderful place it certainly was. I do have a friend working at the Kahala location and have mentioned the various dishes they have and knew that I wanted their salmon as the cedar plank is my favorite is nice to know that they also have that topped on the piccata. Thank you Terry for the suggestion though I did nudge her a bit and along with Jackie it was a festive night as we started with Spinach Artichoke Dip, Lettuce Wraps and Italian Chopped Salad to share and to drink it had to be a cocktail and it was the Sparkling Berry-Lemon which came in a huge wine glass that made me feel like sipping pinkies up though we did enjoy our dinner it really felt like the restaurant was struggling the night sadly but happy we got our table without a wait and didn't let the obvious get to us as we cheers to the holidays to health and happiness. Thank you! read more

Food was great as usual. Had two orders of the bread and olive oil. I was full before the food was served!! Our waiter Jamie was outstanding! So efficient and friendly. CPK is so lucky to have her working there. read more

Starting at the beginning: My boyfriend didn't like the table we sat at, it was a 6 seater for 2 people. Hm. Then we saw an older couple arrive after us get a nice smaller booth. They were also served water right away and we waited 5 min for water... Ok...oh and one of the seats at our table was covered in crumbs. The tequila chicken fettuccine arrived first and it looked NOTHING like the photo, lukewarm, ok flavoring, yeah would not come here for this. The cacio e Pepe pizza arrived next, maybe would have tasted good if it was fresh, but it was kind of cold and the cheese had hardened and it was so hard to bite and chew... The mushroom sausage and pepperoni pizza arrived (requested no mushrooms) and it was also kind of cold but at least it was still soft and easy to eat. The mini butter cake flight arrived with 90% melted ice cream as you can see in the photo, and aside from that it was just like regular cake. I think the original butter cake would have been better and request the ice cream on a separate dish so it doesn't melt??? Best part was the view of the sunset which was probably the most amazing sunset of the whole year and I was most unfortunately inside of CPK..... I blame all this on the inKind app. We wouldn't have gone here if I didn't have $42 inKind cash to spend! InKind is way better for people on mainland!!! read more

Just want to say that the new addition to the menu - the salmon picatta is the bomb. This will be my go-to dish going forward. The salmon was a good piece and cooked thoroughly. The flavors of the lemon and salty capers really hit the spot. If you haven't tried it yet, what are you waiting for? read more

Rarely am I compelled to write a review about a chain restaurant. However, this review is because of Dave. Who I think was far more than our server. He looked like perhaps the manager or maybe the bartender. It was the lunch rush hour and he was flew around the place making sure we were taken care of in a kind yet expeditious way. And, because of his leadership the entire team followed suit. Kudos to the team for a great meal!!! read more

Came here with my cousin for lunch today and we had Henry as our server who I thought did a great job because he kept checking on us throughout the time we were there while also giving us time to enjoy our food and just talk to each other. I ordered the mac & cheese and my cousin ordered the BBQ chicken pizza + fettucine pasta with shrimp and we both actually really liked what we ordered and were both happy that we decided to come here for lunch. Thankfully when we got there the restaurant wasn't super busy so we didn't have to wait long to be seated either because I know that area of the mall can get super busy at times. read more

We needed to find a place to feed the kiddies lunch. Bud loves pizza so this suggestion worked for them. The plan was after lunch I take Sweetie back to school shopping and hubs takes Bud to Dave n Busters cuz they decided not to see Freakier Friday. Our server was not the friendliest man but luckily we got seated next to my cousin who was there with her husband. Covid put a stop to our family get together say Xmas so this made my day seeing her. Food came out pretty fast which was good. I chose Lettuce wraps since my two favorites at CPK, Thai Crunch Salad and Kun pao Spaghetti has peanuts & Bud has a nut allergy. Cpk is a great place to catch up with friends and family. I was sad to see they no longer serve mushroom ravioli. A good choice if you have things to do at Ala Moana shopping center and don't want the crowd at the Lanai or food court. read more

We went on a Saturday and checked in at 4:26pm, and our table was ready by 4:34pm, which was a nice, quick wait. Once seated, everything was great--the service was attentive and friendly, and the food was excellent. It was a bit on the loud side during our visit since Mai Tai Bar had live entertainment and the restaurant itself was pretty full. I'm a little sensitive to noise, so it ended up giving me a bit of a headache. If you're also sensitive to sound, I'd recommend going earlier in the day, maybe mid-morning, for a quieter experience. Overall though, we had a great time and would definitely come back! read more

The service was pretty amazing so kudos to our bartender! The food in general was good. No complaints about the spinach artichoke dip, however the dumplings were a little gummy (it's probably our fault for getting it steamed). Pizza was delicious and tasty! However I want to mention that I did get take out and I was highly disappointed with that. It kind of killed everything for me. The pasta was okay and it was suppose to come with chicken, red onions etc... not one some chicken and ONE oversized onion slice. I love onions but this was excessive? I want to make it clear that the service was exceptional and accommodating, however the take out food I feel like wasn't prioritized compared to our dine in dishes. I can see the difference and the lack of attention to detail. read more

My review hasn't changed from the last time.. still amazing service and delicious food! I got the wild mushroom pizza on cauliflower crust, my husband got the Alfredo past with shrimp, my daughter got the Alfredo pasta with chicken and my son-in-law got a Cobb salad. Everything came out perfectly seasoned and cooked perfectly! I swear, this location never misses! The quality of the food is always spot on and the team is always pleasant. I highly recommend this location if you're in the area! read more

Ambience was good. Service could improve, our waitress took our order. Ordered 3 appetizers but only one came out and she didn't put in the other 2 in. Food wasn't great, I ordered the zucchini pasta with chicken and it was more like a soup. I found pieces of fettuccine noodles in mine and pushed it to the side. My son's pasta didn't have any sauce just mostly the pasta noodles with meat. read more

Popped in for lunch at the CPK, located at Ala Moana Center in Honolulu. Great atmosphere and even greater views of the shore line. The bar was fully stocked and the pizza was fresh and curated to your taste. I had an Hawaiian style pizza. Fresh pineapples, ham & bacon, with jalapeños. It was fantastic. The Wait staff were very attentive throughout my dining experience. I would definitely visit this location again. read more

What happened to CPK???? I haven't been here in years and the food has taken a drastic downfall. I noticed they added a lot of new menu options but they're not that great... the Shortrib Ragu sauce tastes like it came from a jar. The Cauliflower Piccata had no flavor in the noodles. The pizza was good. And the garlic cream fettuccine was ok. The service was ok. We were left with empty water glasses periodically throughout the night. Probably will not be our first choice in dining option moving forward. read more

The food at this CPK location is pretty good and on par. Our food and drinks orders never came out wrong anytime we dined here. The prices are very reasonable and the portion sizes are good. We always enjoy getting the Sicilian Pizza, the BBQ Chicken Chopped Salad, and the desserts...they're all good. Plus their pastas are delicious! We like the Jambalaya, Chicken Piccata, and the Kung Pao Spaghetti. The service every time we dine here is excellent! The staff are very friendly and helpful. The service while we dine at this location is top notch. The wait time is pretty reasonable. During peak hour times you could wait between 30-45 minutes for a table. That's totally understandable since they're always busy at this location. The ambiance is clean and well maintained. They bus their tables as quickly as they can to make way for new customers. read more

I ordered 2 pizzas, 1 pasta, salad, & 2 loaves of bread to be delivered to a family member who is battling cancer. I ordered through DoorDash. The recipient waited two hours+ before the food was delivered. Original estimate for delivery was 56 minutes. But it quickly changed to 2+ hours. I called the restaurant and was transferred 2 times. I eventually was transferred to the takeout line and put on hold for 15 minutes. No one answered, so I hung up. Management needs to address operational issues at this location. Unacceptable. read more

ok, ok dispite having a bad experience at the Kahala Mall location, we decided to give CPK another chance, this time at the Ala Moana location. We were seated quickly. Our food server I have to admit was a hard worker, yet was very attentive to us and the other patrons. He took it in good strides that for us as a party of 4, was given only 2 pieces of bread. We laughed it off and he gave us more. The food came really fast was was served hot. Like I said, he was busy, but had enough time to check in on us and even laugh about the bread, through out our time there. Despite it being busy, the place was kept clean and orderly. Will be back read more

I went to the California Pizza Kitchen's Ala Moana store for a casual lunch with close friends. My friend seemed to be a regular customer and showed a mobile coupon to the waitress with a familiar gesture. Thanks to that, we got about 2 types of free items. Recently, I relaxed my diet. Before that, I wasn't very interested in pizza (because gluten-free pizza is not delicious) and I always ignored the coupons that sometimes arrived in emails. But I thought the free meal on the table was quite meaningful because there were also salads and appetizers. At lunchtime, the large hall is always full and there are many people waiting for empty seats. Even though pizza prices have risen recently, pizza remains very popular anywhere in the world. The consistent, stable taste of California Pizza Kitchen's food keeps the restaurant chain on the royal road. 親しい友達同士の気軽なランチタイムにカリフォルニアピッツァキッチンのアラモアナ店を利用しました。友達は常連の様で慣れた手つきで携帯クーポンをウェイトレスに見せていました。そのお陰で私たちは2種類ほどフリーアイテムを獲得しました。わたくし事ですが、最近はかなり緩和したとは言えグルテンフリーを食生活の基本にしていたので、ピッツァには余り興味が無く(なぜならグルテンフリーピッツァのドゥは美味しくない)時々メールに届いていたクーポンなどはいつも無視して削除していました。でもテーブルに並んだフリーミールはサラダや前菜も有りかなり有意義だと思いました。ランチ時は広いホールが常に満席状態で空席待ちの人の姿も多いです。最近は気軽にピッツァと言えないほど値段も上がっていますが、其れでも世界中どこでもピッツァは大人気の様です。安定の味のカリフォルニアピッツァはやはり王道を極めているのでしょうね！ read more

I came here with my girl friends after walking around the mall all day. We got seated pretty fast. The waitress was fairly friendly. We ordered: - Spinach Artichoke Dip: Classic must-have at CPK. A nice side to nibble on while waiting for your main. I didn't like it as much as I remembered through. 8/10 - Avocado Egg Roll: Another classic must-have at CPK. Crispy and indulgent. I would say that it is much less substantial than before. Take a peep at the image and you can see how lacking the filling was, it was almost half hallow. 8/10 (would've been 9/10 if they didn't skimp on the filling). - BBQ Brisket Pizza: My friend wanted to try this and it was actually pretty good. 8/10 - Margherita Pizza: I never cared for margherita pizzas, I always tell myself but maybe I'll like it so I always end up trying it but ending up with the same realization over and over again. 6.5/10 - Garlic Cream Fettuccine (Chicken): It was decent, it wasn't as saucy as I would've liked and I thought it was weird I had to request for some parm to sprinkle on top. 8/10 - Chicken Tequila Fettuccine: It was ok, I only got a small bite of it and I feel like it had the same issue as the garlic cream, it wasn't very saucy or flavorful as I personally would've liked. I would note that during our meal... a roach crawled across border I was sitting next to... but thankfully it was towards the end?... The service was okay, it was a bit hard to get a hold of our waitress at times but I understand that they are busy. She forgot my friend's drink and realized much later (around half way through our meal) so she comped her drink. This was actually my first time dining in at CPK, I've had it at various events and I love their chicken BBQ pizza. However, I am unsure I would come back with my overall experience. I just feel like there's better spots around. read more

We went on a Friday afternoon around 5 pm. It was pretty busy, but we got to put our names in online and join a waitlist. When we got there, we were seated quickly. Our waiter gave us free bread and olive oil, it was good. We ordered on a happy hour menu (it's from 3-6 pm). I got a mango sangria drink, which was $8 on happy hour! They had good deals with their drinks which was nice! We also got an appetizer, the spinach artichoke dip, was good but wasn't super traditional tasting to me, but still delicious and only $8 on happy hour menu. For the main dish, I got a BBQ chicken pizza and added pineapple. It was pretty good, but wasn't amazing to me. There wasn't enough sauce and it wasn't really worth the price ($23). I was disappointed in our server. He didn't really check up on us often, and when he did he was really short and quick to leave. He also rushed us for our order, even though we weren't all the way sure or ready to order! When we got our bill, he brought us one and didn't ask if we wanted to split it. We wanted to split it 3 ways because someone had a gift card. When we tried to explain, he said it was hard for him to do. We asked if he could still please try and he took the bill and walked back to a waiter station, slammed the bill down and shook his head. I feel like it was a reasonable request! And it was super rude and unprofessional for him to do that, epically when we were watching him do that! Overall it was an ok experience. I just didn't like the customer service and the food was okay. I did enjoy the happy hour deals though. read more

my husband and I came here on a busy Friday night. We waited 15 minutes for a table. We ordered the barbecue chicken pizza, Caesar salad and got a free Mexican street corn appetizer for a promotion that was happening. The street corn wasn't very good and the lettuce in the salad felt a little old. There was also a dish smell coming from the kitchen which was a little unappetizing. However, the pizza was delicious as always service was great, however, I don't think we will be back anytime soon. It was a nostalgic visit though. read more

I came to try their 2 for $30 special. I ordered pepperoni and mushroom and a combo or the works. There were no mushrooms on the pepperoni and mushroom. The person taking my order put pepperoni. Both pizzas were soggy although the crust is thin. The veggies especially the bell peppers were mostly raw. Why did I have to wait for a somewhat under cooked pizza and the wrong pizza. The woman who wanted extra salt got her pizza before I did. The pepperoni was even a bit salty... did they give me the right pizza? read more

I can see why there's not as many people go to this restaurant as before. The margarita Pizza was the same as it was the last time I ordered it. I don't put enough stuff inside of the pizza. It's like the cook was trying to save the company money. Was not very good. I will not try that pizza again. As a matter of fact, I won't go there for another six months. When I go back, I hope they read this. read more

I enjoy CPK. I love the salads, especially the Thai salad, the pizzas are delicious too, even the cauliflower crust one too! The appetizer is great too! They make delicious drinks, non alcoholic drinks that is so refreshing. Particularly most CPK locations in Hawaii is busy so everything depends on service receive. Particularly, Ala Moana is busy. So service sometimes can be not do stellar. On this day, I did a take out on their Thai salad, and the cashier was NOT friendly at all, like I was a bother. really?

This comment raises concerns regarding the safety and well-being of both staff and customers. It has been observed that the ventilation registers above the pizza preparation area, extending through the food preparation section, contain black mold and condensation. This poses a risk of the mold and condensation dripping onto the pizza preparation area and potentially onto the food that is being prepared for customers. It is possible that these unsanitary conditions could be contributing to illnesses experienced by customers and employees. I strongly urge you to take prompt action to address this critical health, safety, and sanitation issue. All other aspects of the Ala Moana CPK is outstanding! read more

Food is always great as usual. Service was great as well. Great place to dine for lunch or dinner. Tonight was busy. We had to wait for about 30 mins. We got our food pretty fast even though they were busy. My appetizer plate was dirty with leftover crumbs from previous person that used it. I asked for a new plate and got it. Second time around when hubby's soup came the server gave us 2 spoons. One of the spoon was dirty and same thing the spoon was dirty with leftover food from previous person that used it and on the handle had some food that was dried and bumpy. I didn't want to ask the server for another spoon for the second time. We've been to this location many times and never had an issue. Reason for the 2 star is because of cleanness. They should make sure the utensils, plates and bowls are washed properly. read more

Been to this location many times, but haven't made a review for some reason. Today was definitely a 5 Star moment. We were seated at around 11:40 and there was no wait. Our server, Malec, greeted us with a big smile and a "Happy New Year" greeting. He's always smiling and checking up on his tables. We had the cauliflower crust pepperoni, mushroom, and sausage pizza. Had a half order of Italian salad, shisito peppers, and chicken piccata. I don't do cream sauce and we were sharing so we asked for the sauce on the side. You know a dish is good when you don't need sauce!! Everything was flavorful and delicious. I can't wait to come back and try some new menu items! read more

I've always liked California Pizza Kitchen, so I went in with pretty solid expectations. The pizzas here were decent, nothing bad, but not especially memorable or impressive compared to what you might expect from a chain. That said, the cheesecake was a pleasant surprise. It was actually very good. And it had a cool CPK branding on top. read more

We were craving pizza and cpk sounded good. The hostess was very friendly and promptly sat us down. The drinks were good and reasonably priced for the area. This was our first time trying this pizza and it was REALLY GOOD! I would strongly suggest trying it. The sauce and cheese just added to it. This location was brightly light and family friendly casual ambiance. This would have been a 5 star review, but we did have an issue at the first table we were sat. The professional way the staff and manager handled it made it so it is still a 4 star review, plus food and service were great! read more

Wanna give a shout out to ALL the CPK locations for supporting our veterans every Veterans Day holiday. Year after year, my husband and I look forward to acknowledging the men and women who served our country with a complimentary entree and drink at CPK. It's one of the best deals on the island and the staff work tirelessly from opening to well beyond closing hours to make it happen. We visited the Ala Moana location this year and the place was booming. At least an hour wait around the clock. Despite a packed house and never ending orders, the team did not skip a beat. Big shout out to our server Manni for getting our order in promptly so our little ones could devour their mac & cheese and pizza quickly. He also recommended their newest dessert: a flight of mini butter cakes with three savory toppings- apple cherry, chocolate fudge, and maple bacon- and vanilla ice cream. That dessert was EPIC! What a perfect size to share amongst our family of four. Excellent recommendation! To all the CPK managers and staff- a big MAHALO for all you do and the aloha you pour into your job. You are so appreciated! read more
