California Pizza Kitchen Description:
Authentic California-style cuisine at all CPK locations. The menu at each restaurant will feature all of the popular favorites along with the newest menu additions including a Four Seasons Pizza with imported Italian tomatoes, oven-roasted artichoke hearts, salami, fresh mushrooms, mild onions, Mozzarella and fresh Mozzarella cheeses topped with fresh herbs and Parmesan cheese; Roasted Artichoke and Spinach Pizza, inspired by CPK's popular Spinach Artichoke Dip, with a blend of oven-roasted artichoke hearts, sautéed spinach and garlic, Fontina, Mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses and a spinach artichoke sauce; Baby Clam Linguini featuring linguini fini and baby clams with garlic, fresh Italian parsley, Parmesan cheese, white wine and red pepper flakes tossed in either a light lemon cream sauce or imported Italian tomatoes and fresh basil; Italian Deli Sandwich, a combination of spicy Capicola ham, salami and pepperoni topped with Mozzarella and Fontina cheeses, basil and shredded lettuce tossed in a herb-mustard Parmesan vinaigrette; Turkey Stack Sandwich oven-roasted turkey breast, sliced fresh Roma tomatoes, mayonnaise, shredded lettuce and Grey Poupon Dijon honey mustard; and Butter Cake, CPK's newest dessert, an oven-baked butter cake served with fresh whipped cream.
While pizzas in all their possible permutations originally defined this place, diners now have many more options at California Pizza Kitchen. "New" appears next to many menu items, from chickens Milanese, piccata and Marsala to pan-sautéed salmon, all decent entrées. A clever salad is the Miso, a mix of napa cabbage, avocado, edamame, green onions and more, all under a slightly sweet miso dressing. Crab cakes---several nicely-cooked discs of seemingly pure crab meat---offer a good start, crispy on the outside and well-cooked inside; the salsa with corns, beans and onions provides a spicy kick. And the sautéed salmon should satisfy any hungry diner with its mound of caper-dressed pasta and a pile of grilled asparagus on the side. But don't skip the pizzas, whether the signature "original BBQ chicken" or creations like the mango tandoori chicken or the Cajun. If space is available, look to the dessert menu for the white chocolate peanut butter cheesecake, Key lime pie and tiramisu.
