    Toastada pizza
    Anusha M.

    Everytime I visit a California pizza kitchen i am just a very very happy person .To start with they give you some fresh bread and herb infused olive oil. Their watermelon cooler is my favorite summer drink . My most loved pizza here is actually a very odd choice .Its called the toastada. Its a hot and cold pizza with beans lettuce salsa ranch & tortilla. Its a must try . The wait stuff here ensure everytime you have an extraordinary experience . They are very very happy to serve extra bread, extra oil, extra salsa and ranch .The try to accomodate your requests to the maximum level .They once just gave me a bowl of Alfredo sauce because I said the garlic creme fettuccine was dry for me . This location is in the food court of garden state plaza mall in jersey.

    California pizza on cauliflower crust no cheese. Very dry and tasteless
    Lucia M.

    The good was Terry our waitress. Friendly, accommodating and fast. And the lunch special my sister had was good too. The bad was the mistake on my cauliflower pizza. I asked for no cheese today on my california pizza. After my order came, it was dry, and without taste. Unfortunately, I couldn't finish eating it and Terry returned it without charge. I dont usually do that. But this time I was glad to send it back. I would suggest if going back. Go with the classic original orders. But be prepared if you are going to change the menu for any small reasons..

    I never actually dyed here, but my husband brought home the take and bake pizza. I didn't think it was gonna turn out good. But it was so easy to make was done within 8 to 10 minutes and it was really really good. The only down part was the middle of the pizza was a bit soggy before going into the oven and that part did not cook well. But I will absolutely do this again. Highly recommended taking bake at home

    Nice location inside of the Garden State Plaza Mall and, most importantly, solid food. Personally, I had not been to a CPK in probably more than a decade! And with this being our 1st time at the Garden State Plaza Mall location, we very well enjoyed our experience here. For the longest time, we patronized the mall and passed by this CPK 90% of the time. With all of the food options at our disposal inside, we always overlooked it and figured we'd eventually get to it when we went through all of the other yummy restaurants. Tucked not too far from multiple entrances, it now has the unfortunate distinction of being located across from the uber popular Kura Revolving Sushi. However, this clean and cozy CPK still draws quite the crowd, especially on the Sunday morning/early afternoon we dropped in for lunch. We arrived at around 11:30 where it was mostly empty inside, but by 12pm, the restaurant was very busy with mostly families - like us. The menu, as you would have predicted, is centered around personal pizzas - Cali-style. However, the menu is surprisingly much more diverse than just pizza - there are lots of salads to choose from, sophisticated entrees/pastas, soups, a variety of starters and sandwiches. We began our meal with the White Corn Guacamole + Chips, which was very good.....except for the fact that it was quite a small order, on both the chips and guac parts. For $14, the order SHOULD have been at least double the size of what came out. Nevertheless, it was still a good guac and chips appetizer. For our entrees, my wife ordered the Waldorf Chicken Salad, while I got the The Works pizza, which consisted of spicy Italian sausage, rustic pepperoni, Cremini mushrooms, Mozzarella, red onions, green peppers, olives, and wild Greek oregano. And, last, but definitely not least, our kids shared a Kids Mushroom Pepperoni Sausage pizza. Overall, everything was decent. Not mindblowingly amazing, but fairly solid. I can't speak too much to the salad, which my wife enjoyed, but The Works pizza was good and a perfect personal pie size with 6 slices in total. There were plenty of toppings and it tasted good. Couldn't really complain much about it. Our kids kind of struggled through the Kids pizza though. They LOVE pizza, but, for some reason, they weren't huge fans. I even had to eat a slice of their pie, which I thought was pretty good as well. Besides the food, we also ordered a Strawberry Lemonade, which came with unlimited free refills. It definitely was refreshing. Service was solid throughout, albeit a bit on the slower side on this Sunday afternoon, but not much to complain about.

    Bbq chicken salad large

    Went to the mall on a rainy Saturday and wanted to grab lunch. My husband and I decided to go to California pizza kitchen as we have not been in there in a long time. We wanted to split some thing and we didn't want pizza cause we knew we were having pizza for dinner so we decided to sit at the bar and order a salad. The bar was pretty busy. I had a mock tail which was really good and my husband had a beer and we split the salad, which was a great size to split. We ordered the large flavor we felt like was missing something, but it didn't stop us from eating. The whole thing will definitely be back in the near future.

    Fried shrimp appetizer
    Wei H.

    Relaxing vibe during weekday lunch time. I like the small portion for lunch. Fried shrimp with spicy mayo is really good. Service is great! Clean and bright restaurant.

    BBQ thin crust pizza
    Jennifer B.

    I haven't been to a California Pizza Kitchen in many years mainly because the one nearest to my home closed. I was at the Garden State Plaza Mall yesterday with my husband and we wanted to eat lunch. We both decided to try it. We ordered sangria, dynamite shrimp as an appetizer and the thin crust bbq chicken pizza. Everything was absolutely delicious. Our plates were clean by the time we were done. The service was phenomenal. Our waitress Lexi was super friendly and quick with our food. The ambience is rustic but modern. I will definitely return and have already told several family members and friends about our experience.

    Steak and pepper pizza
    Virginia T.

    Have dined here before but not often. Last night I was joined by two cousins. We got seated right away around 7:30 on a Thursday evening. We shared the chicken dumplings, steak and pepper pizza, guacamole and chips, and chicken club pizza. Truthfully, I am NOT a pizza person but I enjoyed their pizzas. They were filling, perfectly baked with great toppings. The dumplings were tangy, soft, and tasty with a kick of spice. We thoroughly enjoyed them. The guacamole and chips were the biggest surprise! The guacamole included corn and jalapeños which we all appreciated and enjoyed. We also shared a sangria flight which was just perfect for Our trio!

    Spicy Chipotle Chicken
    Jeannette L.

    Earlier this week, I was with a party of five from work and we met up to celebrate some birthdays. This was my first time at the CPK in Paramus/Garden State Plaza, and it had been a couple of years since I last went to CPK. It was a good choice to go here, we had a great time! There is a variety of seating areas here. We were seated in one of the booths to the left when you enter. Our waiter brought out bread with dipping oil to the table, as well as some tortilla chips later. Here is what we ordered: * Shrimp * Spinach and Artichoke Dip * 5 Cheese Pizza * BBQ Chicken Pizza * Margherita Pizza * Spicy Chipotle Pizza * Key Lime Pie * Red Velvet Cake with Vanilla Ice Cream This is a legit California Pizza Kitchen location. Recommended!

    Lunch combo. Salad and five cheese pizza
    Karina F.

    Visited this establishment on a Monday afternoon so it was pretty empty. Our server was very friendly and answered all the questions we had. Our food was just ok. Nothing special. Probably won't return.

    The West Coast Burger
    Michelle C.

    Great Lunch Spot! We went to the mall to do some shopping and stopped by CPK for lunch. Everything we ordered was tasteful and satisfying. Bbq chicken chopped salad - favorite cpk salad. The salad ingredients were fresh and the salad had a slight tang to it from the bbq sauce. It was delicious! Wear Coast Burger - I went half-sies with my husband. The burger was juicy and the charcoal taste completed the flavorful burger! It's a good burger. The Works Pizza - out of all three dishes we ordered this was probably my least favorite. It was a good pizza, but nothing special. It was bit salty for my palate, but definitely interested in trying other pizzas! Service seemed a bit rushed, but they were busy. The restaurant was lively. It was a Saturday afternoon at the mall, it was expected. 4 stars! 7/10!

    Pratiksha R.

    Loved the vibe of this restaurant. While you wait for the order you can watch the chefs making pizza or pasta. There is something about open kitchens as you get to see what's cooking at the restaurant is fresh. We ordered some Mexican pizza and replaced the chicken with avocado. The crust was so good and the seasoning on it was amazing. We ordered king pao spaghetti- Chinese meets Italian that tasted great too. It was without any meat but still tasted great. We saw a lot of people ordering butter cake for dessert and got tempted to order it. It was yum. We added ice cream to it and was a perfect end to our dinner.

She was very helpful and considerate despite me calling during the "lunch rush". I came into the business --- small but efficient space --- and it was a quick transaction. My kind of place.

I truly understand the hype about their pizzas --- and I truly can't wait to try more from their establishment. On to the wings; I ordered the Parmesan Peppercorn Bone-In Wings, simply because it's a flavor I don't see too regularly on the menus. It was exquisite; I could only imagine how much better it would've tasted fresh from the fryer. I had a 15 minutes drive until I had eaten the food. So the food-fluencers are not lying about this place. Check 'em out --- an awesome business ran by awesome people.

Secondly, the photos don't do it justice --- it is steaming hot upon pick-up, and that very generous layer of sauce on the top was *chef's kiss*.
