If we are running errands, I love grabbing a bite here. There are lots of choices. I'm not a fan of every topping. The kitchen is happy to leave anything off. There is something for everyone. The menu has much more than pizza. The Mac & cheese is great. We enjoy the salads. I try to visit when it isn't "rush hour." Making a reservation is useful. The restaurant is on the lower level, near the parking garage. read more

Terrible experience. I got the burger salad bowl and the onions on top my burger were iced cold with cheese barely melted on top. And the onions smelled old. When I sent it back the sever said the manager was going to heat it up NOT MAKE IT OVER. My husband ordered the buffalo chicken bites which was in a pool of ranch dressing which he doesn't care for. My stepson got garlic cream chicken pasta and it didn't have any chicken on it. Haven't been here in years and won't be back. read more

Normally the food is pretty good but I just got back from visiting family in the south and saw they added a muffaletta to the menu and I was really craving another one and omg...this is NOT a muffaletta at all lol there's literally not even any olives on it, a giant slab of mozzarella, and just a weird combo of pickled veggies. This was super disappointing lol sorry yall but I had to comment on it read more

The free bread that was supposed to come out in the beginning did not come out until we were halfway done with entrees. Food tasted good, don't think The Works Pizza price was worth $20. But it tasted good! Garlic Cream Fettuccine pasta was a little salty the more I ate it. Server was very kind, good service! The place was clean, no smell, and nice ambiance. Not sure if I'd visit again though. read more

It had been years since I went to a CPK after prior remedial experiences, so I was pleasantly surprised to have a positive visit at this location. While I wouldn't say the environment is anything special, after all, this location is basically in a corridor of fast food/fast casual places at the mall, the food was actually good, and the service was attentive. While I am typically partial to the BBQ Chicken pizza (a CPK classic), we also tried the Wild Mushroom pizza which was surprisingly good as well. The Thai chicken salad was also enjoyable. Overall, I would return to this location. I also note that the menu has some weekday lunch combos that seem like they are good values and also some new salad additions. read more

The food is good and it comes out quick, especially because they were understaffed when we ate here. The took awhile to seat us too, but overall the restaurant was fast and good quality. read more

Both salad and pizza were underwhelming - no flavor. Seemed like we were eating plastic instead of pizza. If they can't get pizza right what else is there? Very disappointed - not going back again at this location. read more

I used to love CPK growing up so it has good memories/nostalgic. We went a few days ago for the happy hour menu which if not mistaken is half off drinks and apps until 6pm, and pizza is $9. Service is always pretty good, the server came around a few times to check on us, and food came out quickly. It's nice they still give out free bread before the apps/entrees come out. Tasty olive oil and basil/pesto type sauce with the bread. Ambiance is ok, it's dark in there, music isn't loud or barely heard. We sat a booth seat and cushions were fine, decent clean table space. We got the spicy buffalo cauliflower, the spicy buffalo chicken bites, and the bbq chicken pizza. I really liked the cauliflower wings, they were crunchy and enjoyed the kick from the buffalo sauce. Similarly with the chicken ones, similar flavors and spice level, cooked well, and I liked the onions as garnish. I'm subtracting a star as everything kept coming out with blue cheese which is gross for me, maybe they forgot to remove it when requested or they were unable to but that was a turn off. I always get worried with bbq sauce for pizza as sometimes it's too overpoweringly sweet but I enjoyed the sweetness, it wasn't that much and was a bit smoky. Good amount of red onions to enhance the flavor. read more

Food (3/5:). In my younger years (aka) 25 years ago, CPK was the bomb. I came here a lot. I loved the Thai chicken pizza so much that I tried to recreate it at home. So, I was super excited to try both this and the Thai chicken salad together at lunch special. The price was good for a lunch combo. However, the food did not live up to my expectations. All the ingredients were there, but they seemed sloppy in their composition. It's hard to describe but it's almost like they didn't come together. The pizza was ok but seemed to lack cheese (and though at closer inspection I could see it..). The this crunch salad wanted to be good, but overall lacked flavor. It's like the CPK of my younger years was in black and white. Service (4/5): Zach was friendly and helpful. He just seemed really busy and overwhelmed. Ambience (2/5): I've been to this location probably 28 years ago and it just feels dated and old. And well, dirty. It's definitely it my first choice in Tyson's but my friend really liked it. At least we go to sit near a window though it overlooks the parking garage. read more

We are not a tall family (though who doesn't want to believe they have long legs for their stature?...)  Thus, it was even more surprising when our knees kept bumping throughout our lunch at the Tysons CPK.  So, despite the gracious service or the lunch choices, which were fine, it was impossible to enjoy the meal when we kept banging into each other under the table.  This table is a booth situated at a far corner of the main room so perhaps they were trying to squeeze in one more banquet.  But, that was not a good idea as the abnormally narrow seating space was really uncomfortable.  I don't know now if we will ever return to this location, - one we used to frequent a lot years ago.  Just goes to show the many factors that can really make or break your experience at a restaurant. read more

Really disappointing visit. Our server crystal was terrible. They didn't have 3 of the items we wanted to order and she kept trying to push random items from the menu, instead of giving us a menu to review and choose for ourselves. Eventually we got the buffalo cauliflower- this was the smallest portion we have ever gotten! It's cauliflower!!! We also got the Thai salad which was made with parsley instead of cilantro (and was gross) and the cacio e Pepe pizza which was cold bread with cold cheese and no sauce. Drinks weren't refilled had to ask 3 times for water, which was slammed on the table when we eventually got it. We've been a few times but agreed that we won't be back. read more

Our kids won't eat Mac and cheese from any other restaurant since CPK has the best! They ask every night to either go there or order in.

Haven't been to a California Pizza Kitchen in years but decided to go to try the one in Tysons! This location had a nice atmosphere. The waitress who served us was very friendly and recommended the Neapolitan Burrata pizza. It did not disappoint! The cheese was creamy and the basil and tomato sauce complimented each other. I also tried their Sicilian pizza and it had a nice kick to it. Overall, pretty decent pizza. read more

I've been to this location a couple times and was really in the mood for some pasta. The place itself was super busy and packed however we were able to grab a table quick! However our server was a bit odd because I watched her give multiple tables complimentary bread yet ours didn't. I had to ask her about it in order to receive some. We got the garlic alfredo pasta & the sicilian pizza. The sicilian pizza was really good but a bit heavy, I don't think I could eat more than 2 slices because of how meat forward it was. But the garlic alfredo pasta was the star! It was one of the best pastas I've ever had and tasted the exact same from last time I went. Overall super happy with everything! read more

Came for lunch as I have not been here in a long time. Started with the new whiskey stone sour which was really good. Definitely recommend trying it. Bread and olive oil was brought out as a starter. Bread was perfectly soft inside with a crunchy exterior. Ordered two lunch duos. One was a 7" pepperoni pizza with a baja salad and the other a 7" margherita pizza with baja salad. Both pizzas were thin and great tasting but the crust was too big for such a small pizza. I would definitely recommend to them to make the crust smaller so the pizza seems larger. The salads were also great, had a nice cruch woth the tortilla strips. They have a bunch of shredded lettuce on bottom with some spinich leaves on top to cover it. Would prefer more dark leaves to the head of lettuce. Overall everything was good and our server Jocelyn did an amzing job being attentive no matter how busy it got. read more

Don't recommend this place. First of all, the wait is quite ridiculous. Definitely don't recommend waiting for this mediocre pizza. Pizza was not tasty at all. Too much sauce. Crust tasted like oven pizza. Really underwhelming. Service also was extremely slow. It was difficult to flag down a waiter. read more

Came here for some lunch while shopping. It took a while for our server to show up at our table after being seated. I ordered the California Club pizza and my husband got a lunch combo with a salad and half sandwich. The pizza itself was okay, not really worth $20, but inflation has raised prices everywhere so eh. The salad and sandwich combo were better than the pizza. I think I was overall kind of meh with the whole experience because the server was so absent or at least it felt that way. My husband requested more bread and they never brought it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ read more

I have been a loyal customer of CPK since the 80s and we lived in LA. I do not know when the recipe for the "peanut dressing" became the hot sauce dressing but I will never go there again. Maybe the counter person did not like the tip I left but I left just under 15%. I normally tip very well, 30% when I am not doing carry out. My whole mouth is burning! read more

7/29/23 Anya is our server today at California Pizza Kitchen. Since I wasn't feeling Musibi's food today.  The Chicken Alfredo caught my eye. To add an added bonus to the mix, I asked Anya to add Bacon to the order. The food was delicious and very filling. During our meals, my wife and I heard the sounds of a heavy thunder storm going outside. We watched as the restaurant filled up quickly and saw dog show on DirecTV go out because of the storm. The bar seating area wasn't very crowded, but the bartender was certainly busy.   This restaurant has been around for a while.  I think the men's bathroom could use a antibacterial piss mat on the floor.   To much of the golden bombs have be hitting the floor. Aside from the men's bathroom, the place is great from what I saw. read more

Great customer service from the beginning. The host and server were wonderful. I ordered the gluten free margarita pizza and it was amazing! The crust was thin crust which I enjoy. Highly recommend if you're craving pizza read more

If you're craving pizza at the mall, CPK got you covered and perfect for groups. The pizza is cooked in a propane gas oven and loaded with delicious toppings and not too cheesy or doughy. The Lunch Duo is a great deal with a small personal size pizza or sandwich with soup or salad from 11am-4pm. The California Veggie pizza is packed with veggies - eggplant, mushrooms, broccolini, sun-dried tomatoes, red onions, and roasted corn and a fun way to get my serving of veggies! The 7' personal pizza with 4 slices was perfect for lunch. The regular 6 slice pizza is great for leftovers. The Sedona black bean tortilla soup always hits the spot! Make sure to get the crispy tortilla strips, the server forgot to pack it and the crunchy topping really elevator flavor of the soup. The cocktails are definitely on the sweeter side. The sangria flight was fun to try with white and red wine mixed with fresh juices and fruits - white wine Orchard sangria with St. Germain and Beehive strawberry sangria and the Berry-Red sangria. Would be nice to see a spiked apple cider or warm winter cocktails on the menu. Mall chain restaurants are usually a miss, but I've always been a fan of CPK. Good quality pizza and awesome service! read more

The service was friendly and efficient. My son enjoyed his meal. But I ordered a caesar salad with grilled chicken. It was barely edible. The chicken was rubbery, and the salad was bitter lettuce with very little dressing and some parm shavings. For the price (nearly $30) I really expected something at least average. read more

We had the sweetest and most caring server named Crystal! The food was great and the mocktails are delicious! The only complaint I have is that the apparent manager was pretty unprofessional and rude-- we witnessed her yelling at a server in front of all the guests which was disturbing.

I absolutely love CPK! This location is off the beaten path, tucked away in a corner of the mall, near one of the smaller entrances. Open concept restaurant, like most other CPK's I've visited. Service was great! I came as soon as the restaurant opened for the day. The tables filled up quickly with other diners. My pizza was delicious per usual. I love the Tostada Pizza. It may look unusual, but it's yummy. Thin crust pizza, cheese, black beans, lettuce, and ranch drizzle served with a side of salsa. I always order extra ranch and salsa, along with a side of Cholulu hot sauce. Try it, you'll love it! read more

I enjoyed my lunch here! Everything was tasty. The service was okay, and the food came out fairly quick, which was nice. The original bbq chicken pizza was definitely my favorite! I liked the super thin crust and the flavors of the sauce/toppings. I got the lunch special too, which consists of a main and choice of salad or soup. I got a hawaiian pizza for the main and a spinach apple quinoa salad for the side. The salad was so good! The hawaiian pizza was pretty good, but small. I enjoyed the complimentary bread with the oil, too. I liked the ambiance because the restaurant was half full and fairly quiet. Overall, I would come back! read more

It's been years since I was in a CPK. It's likely to be years before I go back. I had some time to kill at the mall and figured I'd stop by and grab what used to be my standard there, a large chopped Italian salad. From the experience, I learned three things. 1) It's more expensive than it used to be. I guess that's understandable, most things are. Salads in particular have become more expensive. 2) It's smaller than before. Maybe that's another attempt at cost-cutting? 3) The ratio of shredded lettuce to everything else has become absurd. It's almost all lettuce and just a sprinkling, a tiny sprinkling, of everything else. On the plus side, the waitstaff was pleasant and the space was reasonably clean. However, the pleasantness and reasonable cleanliness aren't enough to get me back anytime soon. read more

Carlos is the reason I keep coming back to this location. I used to order a truffle mushroom pizza with extra cheese and extra onions and now I change to that a BBQ pizza also. Carlos always takes care for me and the food is fantastic. I travel A LOT and he always remembers me even when I come back after 6 months. I live in McLean and I have to travel and he always remembers me and he remembered my order every time. He is a good person and even though he is a manager, he needs to go higher in the company.

California Pizza Kitchen has always been a go-to spot for American small plates, appetizers, and pizzas. All of their dishes can be accommodated to most dietary restrictions while still retaining the quality and taste! This time we ordered the spinach artichoke dip and sedona tortilla soup. The spinach artichoke dip was easily on the creamiest dips I've ever had. It was super savory and packed with perfectly balanced flavors. You could distinguish the texture and tastes of the spinach, artichoke, and garlic in every bite. The tortilla chips were fresh and crispy well. The Sedona tortilla soup was a 5/5 as per usual. It's made from vine-ripened tomatoes, tomatillos, corn, mild green chilies, Southwestern spices, and crispy corn tortilla strips. The soup was thick and creamy with load of flavorful and juicy corn in every bite. All the flavors fit together super well and was definitely worth! Although the food was great, the dining experience was not at the same level. The booth we were seated at was extremely small. It was hard to sit and eat because of how close the seats were to the table. We had to ask for bread multiple times (normally served without asking) and each time the bread was in super small quantities and cold. The staff also took a long time to check in and respond to requests. Probably will elect to visit the Fairfax Co. location in the future! read more

The food was excellent! I loved my little pepperoni pizza with a tea lemonade and my boyfriend (pictured!) had the bbq chicken pizza and he loved that as well. The waitress was attentive and brought things out quickly for us since they were not that busy. However, it would be great to make sure there's a server at the desk near to all times-- we have been here twice and have had to wait more than 5 minutes each time because there wasn't someone there even if they weren't too busy but other than that I love this location and can't wait to be back! read more

Came here for a late lunch. Social distancing enforced with seating and only 1 person at a time in the restroom. Food was good, my mom and I shared a pizza and caesar salad with grilled chicken. The pizza was so good and fresh! The salad was just as great as well, the grilled chicken topped was so tender. The waitress was okay, she could have been more attentive. Never asked if we needed refills and basically didn't check on us. Her attitude was fine, it was just her attentiveness to us. read more
