Margherita Pizza
Marcus C.

CPK is fine - not mind-blowing, not out of this world, not incredible, just fine. I think that applies to pretty much every location I've been to and the Long Beach one is no different. After spending a day at the Long Beach Convention Center, my wife and I were hungry and clocked this CPK across the street. The service wasn't the greatest as our server didn't check up on us after dropping off the food, so it took a while to get the check but whatever. It's affordable, my wife likes their non-alcoholic beer, and the pizza is decent.

I went to CPK at the Pikes Outlet for the views ! I decided to get my order to go bc there plenty of out door seating perf for picnics are this location! My pizza was amazing , I chose Ham & pineapple for my ingredients (tasty)! This pizza was perfect since the dough wasn't tooo thick ! Plus I got a refreshing strawberry lemonade ! I would get both items again ! Lastly don't forget to validate your parking !

A couple years ago, I went to Islands, which was right next door to this CPK, and I ended my Islands review by saying I was more likely to go to CPK than back to Islands on my next visit to The Pike Outlets. Welp, time to flip the script. Now I'm more likely to go back to Islands than back to this CPK lol This CPK (as well as Islands) is located on the east end of The Pike Outlets, just across from the Long Beach Convention Center. This month, CPK is doing a promo where if you spend at least $10 on a visit, you get rewarded with a freebie on your next visit. What the emails didn't mention is that the freebie would come with strings attached: a purchase of at least $20. Actually, the ensuing email I got said $25, but my reward said $20. Either way, I was a little unhappy about this misleading promo because I thought I could have gotten the freebie without having to purchase anything else. After my first visit earlier this month, I was granted the reward for a free appetizer/dessert with $20+ purchase, which was set to expire in August. Even though the Lakewood CPK is way closer to me, I wanted to try this CPK to see how it would compare. I had just visited a nearby business at Pike Outlets, and I hopped onto the CPK app to place my order. A day or two before, I went on the app to decide what to get as my free starter and what to purchase for $20. For the starter, I was honed in on the Avocado Club Egg Rolls, their most expensive starter. For the $20 purchase, I went with a Chicken Club Sandwich, but needed to add at least $2.26 more to make $20. There was a side salad upgrade with upcharges of $1.75 and $2.25, but neither would have been enough. Instead, I went with a side of broccolini, which was $3. If I had ordered ASAP, the app estimated an 18-minute wait, but I was willing to wait even longer so I could explore The Pike Outlets before my 2 hours of free parking (with retail validation) would expire. Unfortunately, I wasted about 10 precious minutes trying to place my order. That's because this CPK didn't actually have the Avocado Club Egg Rolls on their menu?! Inconceivable! And because of that, the app kept glitching on me and giving inaccurate totals. I got flustered and struggled to find a way to start a brand new order from scratch. I also had to choose a new starter: Dynamite Shrimp. I finally placed my order about 25 minutes before my desired pickup time. I arrived about 15 minutes later since I elected to pay inside the restaurant. Without a host at the front desk, it took me a while to find the takeout counter in the rear of the restaurant by the kitchen. Natasha was the employee manning that station, and she needed to check on my order not once, but twice to see when it would be ready. I had about $18 left on my gift card and paid the majority of my balance with it, but she told me I owed $18?! When I asked her to check the balance again, she realized her error. After completing my payment, she checked the kitchen again and returned on my scheduled pickup time to let me know it should be ready in 5 minutes. I patiently waited on a bar seat next to the takeout counter. 5 minutes went by, and still no sign of my order. With each revolution of the minute hand, I was starting to get a little nervous that they forgot about my order or they would have to remake it, which would have caused me to have to pay for parking. Finally, 10 minutes after my scheduled pickup time, I received my takeout bag, but needed to race back to the parking structure, find my car, and get out before I'd get charged for parking. I had Dynamite Shrimp before at the San Antonio location, which has since closed for good. This Dynamite Shrimp tasted no different; in other words, the Dynamite Shrimp here met my expectations on how bold the shrimp was, but also how dry the veggies were. The broccolini was bland, though I can't say I was expecting there to be any flavor. At least it helped me achieve my recommended daily intake of greens lol. For the sandwich, I requested for the mayo to be on the side, but for some reason, they read "on the side" as "omit" as I didn't see mayo in my sandwich at all! I had to use some of the dressings from my side BBQ Chicken Salad so it wouldn't have been so dry. Even that didn't help; the edges of the chicken were burnt that I couldn't help but wonder if that was the reason for the extra 10 minute wait. The BBQ Chicken Chopped Salad wasn't too bad, but not as good when I saved it for the next day. It also didn't help I had used up a good portion of the dressings for the sandwich. Lastly, the bread was quite disappointing! This was seriously the softest bread I had from CPK; the others usually had more of a crunch and hard crust, but this was so soft I think they took the bread out of the oven too early. Considering how mostly vacant the interior was when I came to pick up my order, I'm surprised at how underwhelmed the food was. I'll still return to CPK, but not to this location.

Cpk is cpk! I enjoy the pizza especially the thin crusts ones and they're good Service is a bit delayed and they don't really pay attention. We had to try to find someone. They are nice though The hour we went, they weren't as busy The outdoos patio had nice fresh air and had a view of the passerbys which felt nice and open Perhaps when we are in the area we'll give it another try

Ceasar salad

I love CPK!! This location was great and the service was amazing. I especially love dining at CPK with coworkers because they have really great lunch combos. And their portions are just right. I love their salads and basically all pizzas. They put a lot of basil on my Neapolitan burrata omg I loved it!! Such a good pizza!! I'll always be back!

Came here for Grand Prix and got a front row seat at the pizza kitchen Got here to check out the race and stumbled up on some good pizza and cold beers Great service and delicious pizza. Win win situation

The service was unfortunately very slow. We are in town for a conference and it took 45 minutes to get food even though we arrived before the lunch rush. The server was kind and the soup was yummy, but the 4 pizzas we ordered were cold and relatively hard by the time they arrived. One item wasn't delivered until we had all finished eating already. Maybe they weren't staff enough for a weekday lunch hour? But when you're across from a convention center having a large convention, that should be taken into consideration when staffing the restaurant when possible.

Salmon

Are you an anime fan? Welcome to the 21st Anime Los Angeles show at the Long Beach convention center! Time for lunch? The food trucks were with long lines and we did not want to eat at the convention center cafe or settle for the $10 hot dog by the street vender, so I picked CPK which is about 3 min walk from the convention center for a nice sit down lunch. I had fond memories of its pasta and pizza and was looking forward to the treats again. It was busy with large crowds from the anime show; it's surreal and fun to see and dine with people in cosplay costumes on a non-Halloween day. We were seated in about 20 min. My friend ordered the salmon which he commented being slightly overcooked. I was adventurous for ordering the cheese-less vegan avocado pizza, it's very healthy but the veggie topping cooled the hot pizza and made it less appetizing, it's a no for the next time. I loved the pea barley soup and the breads with olive oil dip. Servers were friendly and welcoming.

We ordered via phone call which is ran by Ai. It told us to pick up curbside at 8:09pm and at 8:20pm we were still waiting curbside so I had to call and speak with a person. We got our order and were happy with it. Hubby's Hawaiian pizza was okay-no comparison to Baby Bros pizza on pine, but my bbq chicken salad w/extra bbq was delicious. And the Dr. Pepper is perfect!!! Most people now-a-days can't even get the syrup ratio in the fountain machine right. I want to give a 3 star for my hubby and having to call but I loved my salad and soda so they are getting 4...I will eat here again!

Joyce A.

Excellent Service from Ashton! Nicely located , close to the pike outlet and Cinemark. Everyone is friendly. Food is excellent!!! Looking forward to coming back here again

We visited California Pizza Kitchen in Long Beach for Saturday lunch around 1 p.m., and we were seated right away, which was great. We tried the Habanero Carnitas Pizza ($20.99), which turned out surprisingly good. The Avocado Club Egg Rolls ($15.29) were tasty, though the chicken inside was a little dry for my taste. The Salmon Piccata ($25.99) was excellent--the salmon was very tender, and the pasta was beautifully prepared. The Steakhouse Salad ($22.99) was refreshing and flavorful, and the Sedona Tortilla Soup ($8.49) and the Dakota Pea Soup were also good. Overall, the food quality and taste were not bad at all. The service was excellent! Our server was very friendly and thoughtful, and she even gave us a table next to the TV so we could enjoy the show while eating. The prices are fair, especially for the portion sizes and variety. We'll definitely visit again and try some other dishes next time!

I was there to pickup a to go order I placed thru the app. I walked in and no one was at the reception desk and I saw the to go orders sign in the back so I headed over there. I was the only customer waiting and there was a guy with AirPods in his ears cutting food but didn't look up at me or say someone will be with me momentary. No greeting at all. Finally a lady came out and retrieved my order. Food was good and packaged well. Wish the staff was a little more welcoming. My first visit to this location in Long Beach.

Club Pizza
MIchelle M.

Look. If you HAVE to eat here, fine but if you can avoid it, do. The only pleasant thing about our afternoon was our seater/host. He was so nice, communicative, and friendly. *Our waiter basically came to our table like "what do you want." Like we were bothering him. *They were understaffed as there was a line out the door and tons of empty tables. *To help out my apathetic server, I went to the bar to ask for milk for my coffee, the bartender acted so bothered and gave me 1/2 a craft of milk. *The avocado eggs rolls tasted like char *The club pizza was somehow bland? *Also my coffee tasted burnt Overall, 1/10 only because our seater was awesome.

The shaved gouda was minuscule, but oddly more than the carrots. The gem lettuce was large & fresh and perfect, but still. $19? I hesitated buying it cuz.. money, yeah. But I was splurging for once. Also, the to-go box was like 1/2 filled, so portion size not even worth half the price. The dressing was wonderful, the side of dilly sauce tasty, and the side of pizza sauce delish. The "To Dye For" pizza was good. A little rich for my taste, but others would enjoy all the creamy burratta and other cheeses. Would have liked to tasted the pink/vodka sauce a bit more, but it's ok as again, others might prefer it less wet. And, heck, the crust is - AS ALWAYS - amazing. So good. Cooked to perfection as well.

Buffalo Bill had that perfect spicy, tangy buffalo flavor with the vinegar acidity you want from a good buffalo sauce. If you like heat, definitely try it. Night of the Chicken Dead was creamy, garlicky, and loaded with chicken. We also tried a few of their non-traditional cocktails and the deep-fried cinnamon balls for dessert. The cinnamon balls have a warmer spice profile with noticeable nutmeg/allspice flavors. The atmosphere is basically punk-rock bar meets horror pizzeria, and that's part of the charm. Stickers and artwork everywhere, loud punk music, cocktails, pizza and a very casual downtown Long Beach vibe. Just know that the music is LOUD, and the restaurant can run a little warm during summer with the pizza ovens going. First-timer tip: When you walk in, get in line first. That's where you order both your food and cocktails. Seating at the tables and barstools is first come, first served. Great spot if you like horror, punk rock, good pizza and places with some personality.

If you are 40 years old, with an expired ID, regardless proof of age, they will not let you order a pizza. Unfortunate in my case. Was able to order online with no issues. **In other words, it's called discrimination. You can buy alcohol at a bar or liquor store, as long as you have proof of age 21 and over. Never had issues of expired ID at a "bar" til now. But just a friendly reminder, I only ordered a pizza. Thank you!

Not a big deal though as my taste buds prefer beer with pizza ... Anyway, I'll start with parking. Metered street parking or you can do laps until you find a spot on the residential side streets that I believe are free without restrictions. If there are signs, I don't know because I chose to park in a metered space and managed time via the app (Passport Parking). Service was great. The team - I say team because several staff members were on the floor and they worked together with orders, following up and even changing the games on a TV for me so I was craning my neck to watch. Appreciated it big time. Then the food - I liked it but didn't love it. Here's my take - it was bready or doughy but I prefer more flaky. The sauce for me I like sweeter - but on that it's probably because I'm used to sauce being covered by cheese and toppings. But I did like it. I'd go back and have it again. I just have to get it out of my head that every place is different and going in with expectations thinking I was gonna have what I had when in Chicago is on me. Enjoyed the flavor of the chicken wings but felt they were a little dry. It's an open restaurant with communal seating (bar height) in the middle with lower tables on the outside, speaking of - a few tables outside as well. TVs all around. Only one TV's audio will be broadcasting though - keep that in mind if you're going for the games.

This place has always been good. The taste is always the same. The service is always magnificent…read more There's a cool vibe in there. They had a lot of games playing on the TVs.
