The Kapolei branch of California Pizza Kitchen has significantly improved in all phases. From service to new menu items and seamless execution. Our server today was James, he did an excellent service. Attentive, knowledgeable, and accommodating from start to finish. We tried one of the "New " menu items the California Burger Bowl. It was like a deconstructed Cheese Burger without the bun. A nice bed of salad with like a Honey Mustard dressing topped with a huge beef patty with grilled onions, bacon, and melted cheese. With a few slices of Dill pickles on top. Simply delicious . We also ordered their signature Spinach and Artichoke Dip and The Works Pizza . Served Hot and Fresh. Outstanding . Highly recommended

Love Their avocado chicken egg rolls, the only reason I always come back to this place. Today I decided to try the new salmon piccata, flavor was perfect but the Salmon was so dry. Swallowing each piece was a struggle but I survived, sounds so dramatic but that's how dry it was. Our server was awesome so friendly and nice. On the other hand Speed of service needs improvement. We waited 10 mins to get serviced and another 40 mins to get our food. All in all it was so so, not bad or not out of this world just okay!

The Menu

Walked in and the hostess didn't greet me at all -- just stared until I said "one." She asked if I wanted the bar, I said no, but I was still seated in the bar area. Service was confused. I had to ask twice for my Coke with lemons. Spinach artichoke dip came out cold. The salmon and broccolini were also cold and the broccolini was tough. Took it home to reheat. Ordered a regular‑crust pizza, but it came out thin twice. Then the bill showed charges for two pizzas, plus cauliflower dough and cheese I never ordered. Manager didn't seem friendly, and the whole experience felt inconsistent. Very different from the Mililani CPK, which is much better. Marie

Shrimp with Zucchini over pasta

Decided to have lunch at this establishment at 11:30am. Walked in and was seated right away in a booth. Within a few minutes our server Nancy came with menus. She gave us a few minutes to look over the menu and returned to take our order for drinks and appetizers. She came back after a few minutes with our drinks and ready to take our order. The food was served to us quickly, hot and fresh. She would walk past our table frequently and asked how we were doing. She got us refills without hesitation. Overall, the food was delicious and her service was great.

We decided to come here today for lunch. I ordered the 1/2 Cobb salad, and two pizzas. ( The Works & The California Club) . I loved the Cobb salad. It was so fresh, crisp, savory and satisfying. Both pizzas were also delicious. Definitely enjoyed my lunch today.

Came here for an early dinner around 5:45pm on a weekday, restaurant wasn't busy at all and got seated immediately. Food is always good. Reason for 2 stars is how slow service/the food came out. We waited an hour for our pastas while this other table of like 13 people got all their food before us and they sat down 10 mins after we already ordered. The group behind us about 4 people also got their food before us and they came in around the same time as the bigger group of like 13 people. Mind you this was a weekday and the restaurant wasn't packed.

Don't come unless you have the time and patience to wait for your food. It took 20 minutes for the waitress to get in touch with my table. After ordering, it 47 minutes for me to receive my foods. Not to mention, we didn't even get the complimentary bread and olive oil. I asked the waitress twice for the break and each time she just says okay and walks away. In the end i just felt like she didn't want to get the bread so I stopped asking. However, there was a great and amazing host! She was so kind and understanding despite the early notice she gave of a possible long wait time, she ended up seating us ahead of estimated time. The foods weren't anything special. Tasted exactly as you'd expect. The ambiance was family friendly.

Bbq Burnt end pizza
Mer F.

Angel deserves a raise and a halo If you're headed to California Pizza Kitchen, pray you get Angel as your server--because she truly lives up to her name! Attentive? Check. Friendly? Check. Refills like a ninja? DOUBLE check. She was all smiles, chatted with us like an old friend, and didn't rush off to the next table like our last visit where we felt like background extras in a fast-food commercial. We tried the new bbq burnt ends pizza with pickled onions and brisket--and to our surprise, it didn't taste like regret! We're all about trying new things and this one was weird in the best way possible. Happy Hour was a happy win! The shrimp, spinach artichoke dip, cauliflower, and potstickers, gotta ask them to be deep fried (Angel's suggestion--she knows what's up) were all devoured like we hadn't eaten in weeks. No regrets, just crumbs. Now... can we talk about the strawberry iced tea for a second? Pro tip: ask for the half & half on the side, dump one serving into your tea, and boom--your tastebuds will do a happy dance. I had FOUR of those teas. Four. I basically left the restaurant 78% strawberry iced tea and took another to go like the addict I now am. ‍ In conclusion: go to CPK, ask for Angel, drink the tea, go during happy hour, live your best life. You're welcome.

Side ranch squirt
Dustin G.

Ordered takeout, got a solid pizza and pasta, honestly pizzas are always good, Except I ordered a side of ranch and got this joke squirt of a ranch instead. Also got extra sauce on the pasta but that also wasn't the case, payin extra for nothing is annoying. Only reviewing cause this is defiantly not the first or second time this has happened.

Chicken Picatta

This is the worst CPK me and my family have ever been to, originally the plan was to go to The Cheesecake factory next door but their wait time was 4 hours and reservation system is broken so we decide to check out CPK. We arrived at 7:30 and put ourselves on the wait list with a quote of 45 min for a party of 12, ended up waiting for 1 hour 45 min and we checked in with them multiple times, at one point we were told we we next but then saw another large party got sat in the outdoor section, after that they kept saying they were waiting for a table to leave. Once we finally get seated it's past 9 and near closing, they noticed we had a cake and offered to put it in their fridge for us which was nice. Our server came by and was friendly but we felt she might've been either been new, very tired or both as we suggested to split the food orders into 3 checks so that it would be easier for her and us at the end but she kindly declined and said "it's okay we'll split it at the end" she takes our orders but says only to do drinks and appetizers first although we were all ready to order our main dishes as we've been waiting for almost 2 hours prior and everyone was hungry and tired. The apps took a while to come and then we get our order in for our main dishes, that also took a long time to arrive. The food was good but our main dishes didn't come til around 10:15 and my two brothers, one who's birthday it was ordered the same thing - salmon with jasmine rice, their dishes arrive later than everyone else's and was served with corn not the jasmine rice so we asked if there was a mistake, the server apologized then takes their dishes away and it takes almost another 15 min for the dishes to come back for them and everyone is eating while they are sitting waiting, by the time they get to eat the party is pretty much done eating and the server comes to split the checks into 3 but was having difficulty with the small device saying it wouldn't let her so we all had to look at the checks and separate everything manually, she came back with new printed receipts and there was still mixups on who's food or drinks was on which check and earlier we had ordered only 3 mango strawberry coolers but somehow ended up with 4 on the check so I had to explain we only ordered 3. At no point in time did a manager come to help the server or speak to us, the server must've went back and forth from table to the main device for the check a few times and with long wait time in between each to where we were the last party in the whole restaurant and it started to get more and more awkward because we wanted to have cake for my brothers birthday and felt like it would be weird to sing and spend even more time in the restaurant eating while it's quiet and the workers are trying to close up, also thought it was weird that they knew we had a birthday and didn't do anything to acknowledge the birthday or offer some kind of complimentary dessert, not even offer to bring the cake we brought was even an option so we decided to sing happy birthday OUTSIDE the restaurant but couldn't share cake with the family as we had no plates or utensils overall service was not good and would recommend any other CPK on island but the one at Ka Makana Ali'i. Host wait times inaccurate Food service slow and inaccurate Birthdays not a priority for experience

Red Berry Sangria (Yummy)

We decided on CPK (California Pizza Kitchen) at Kamakana Alii for dinner. There was no wait and the hostess was nice and seated us right away. The Auntie who was our server (wish I remembered her name) was so nice and friendly. She made it a point to check on us frequently and exemplified great customer service. She was patient with our ordering and made sure that she had everything right considering we ordered quite a few things. We loved everything that we ordered: 1. Spaghetti Bolongnese (first time having it and we enjoyed it. It was so tasty and even better the next day) 2. Thai Crunch Salad (refreshing and loved the cilantro that was added in) 3. Pepperoni Mushroom Sausage Pizza on regular crust (yummy as usual) 4. California Veggie Pizza on Cauliflower Crust (this is my fav and I love all of the veggies on it. I added some parm cheese and red pepper flakes and it was even better. If you love veggie pizza, this is a must) 5. Red Berry Sangria (also my fav! Absolutely delicious and redreshing) The restaurant was not loud at all and had many available seats for dining. We enjoy coming to this location but it can get busy and may have a wait depending on the day you come. We have always had a great experience here and will definitely return. I also had complimentary Birthday entree which is an awesome thing that CPK rewards members get on their birthdays!

My grandson realized he likes spinach artichoke dip
Billy D.

Can't go wrong with CPK no matter where you're at. Excellent service great atmosphere great food. If you had it back home somewhere in the US mainland you're gonna get the same here in Hawaii. I think my daughter might be. We were just here last night.

Kathy N.

One word HUGE!! Although my husband ate the entire burger, he said he wouldn't order it again. Sauce was similar to the McDonalds sauce, otherwise it was okay. I ordered the cauliflower crusted mushroom, pepperoni, sausage pizza and I enjoyed every bite. We also ordered the full serving of their bbq salad, which was a favorite at one time, but didn't hit like it did months ago when I ordered. Maybe not as much chicken. Drinks were awesome, and overall great experience.

I just noticed the caramel apple crunchy sundae dessert. is it only in select locations?

It was not in Kapolei when I was there last week. So I believe yes, select locations.

Do they sing Happy Birthdays? I need to get revenge on my sister big time

Yes they do. Just tell the server ahead of time. It's her birthday and you want to surprise her.

Do they have happy hours?

No happy hour for the Kapolei location.

Do they take in reservation?

We don't take reservations but you can call and do a call ahead to let them know you're coming with the time and the # of people in your party. When you come in, you can check in and say you're here so they can prepare for your table but you need… Read more

ORDER BOTH. No regrets. Every bite was worth it. A huge shoutout to Chuck--one of the most knowledgeable, funny, and genuinely kind people I've met in this business. You can tell he loves what he does, and it shows in the service and the vibe he creates. And Al, who I believe is the manager--what a fun guy. For someone who hasn't been here long, he runs a tight ship. The staff is happy, helpful, and works together like a well-oiled machine. The energy in this place is just good. They've even got live music at 5pm and a solid pupu menu. This is way more than a one‑stop shop. I'll definitely be back to try more--especially the dessert menu. Ooh man. Thank you, Chuck, for an awesome lunch experience. And Al--keep up the great work. Marie
