We were able to get a table with a reservation on a Saturday night, and were assisted right away. Started with the tomato and basil soup which was amazing! Then the Caesar salad came and it wasn't anything special, but the spinach and artichoke dip was great!!The works pizza was also delicious, however the fettuccine pasta with shrimp was cold:(( Most of the food was great but some dishes were cold. Our server was all over the place but very kind and quick.

Meeting friends for dinner and conversation. Saturday night at 6 PM - but no problem getting a table with no reservation. Parking in the garage is free with validation - nice touch. We started with white corn guac and chips ($9) as a shared appetizer. Probably the best guac I have had in any restaurant including some high end Mexican restaurants. Only gripe is there are pieces of jalapeño that can make it a bit hot for the Gringo palate. Next we shared the Margarita pizza ($17). Usually I am not a fan of thin crust pizza but this was quite good. For my entree I ordered a half BBQ chopped chicken salad ($15). Even the half salad is huge and too big for me to finish. Really good. We had a table next to the picture window overlooking Ventura Blvd. Lovely. Good food, good service, lovely ambiance and free parking. Not fancy but great value.

I love CpK Shrimp Kung pao spaghetti! We tried the strawberry cooler today too. We also got pepperoni pizza. If you sign up with their rewards you can redeem coupons or points which is nice as a regular customer.

Came here for lunch today. Got the best service ever from the manager Josie and Darvin, the waiter. I ordered the new tostada pizza and it was delicious as was the lunch special with half salad and half sandwich. Josie and Darvin, thank you for such wonderful service. This location is starting to become one of my favorites.

CPK is a reliable choice for a quick meal. Their salads are consistently good, and the service is attentive. The ambience is welcoming, and the restaurant is kept clean, making it a comfortable place to dine.

With people coming from all directions, this CPK has become a fairly regular meeting place for me and my family. Today we were there to celebrate my mom's birthday. One of the things I love about CPK is the consistency from location to location. Once you've had a dish at one CPK, you can count on it tasting the same at other locations. Today I placed an order for one of my go-to lunches at CPK; the lunch duo with a 7-in wild mushroom pizza and a small Thai crunch salad. As always, both were delicious. For dessert we ordered a always delicious butter cake and a piece of key lime pie. If you haven't had the better cake at CPK, your seriously missing out. One thing that made today's visit stand out was the service. My mom had received an emailed coupon for a free dessert for her birthday. CPK requires your phone number to verify that you were the coupon recipient. She gave them her phone number but they couldn't find her account. So the waiter asked the manager to help out. Armed with my mom's email address and phone number, the manager was quickly able to determine that the phone number on my mom's account didn't match the number she had given her. With that knowledge, the problem was quickly resolved, my mom got her free birthday dessert, and she won't have a problem using CPK discounts like this again. If you're in the area, stop by this CPK. It's light, bright, and consistently good.

Hadn't been here for a long time The food is actually good and the appetizers are even better. But for some reason this place won't become a "The Spot". For one thing there area lots of kids. That said, the Martini that I had was fairly good. The Margarita that my wife had was very good. The space has a decent vibe , you can watch the traffic on Ventura Boulevard. All in all, we enjoy the place. I did order two piazzas to take to my son. Will I go there again, yes, I will.
