Recently had reviewed the Irvine Spectrum’s underwhelming CPK and I was surprised that this Mission Viejo CPK was so much better!
It was bustling, families of five or more were common. The atmosphere was focused yet happy. Bright, nice decor and seating layout provided privacy despite being full.
Management was top notch (Chris) which was reflected in every part of our experience. Caleb, as host, seamlessly made intake, minimal wait and seating a pleasant experience (maturity beyond his years). Pablo couldn’t have been more attentive.
And then the food. I genuinely wasn’t expecting much (from past experience/different location) but Mission Viejo CPK delivers. We ordered four different pizzas, appetizer, soup/salad and it all arrived appetizing, hot, as anticipated … just a great experience.
Renewed my faith in the brand albeit this will be my location.
PSA: Caleb taught me October is National Pizza Month. Worth it!
Just great food! Ordered the Dynamite Shrimp in addition to a pizza and salad.
Everything was amazing except it was very humid in the restaurant.
Haley was an amazing server, first time trying CPK. Made sure everything was good on our table.
I had a great experience at this pizzeria! The pizza was delicious, and the service was friendly and efficient. The only reason I'm not giving it a 5-star review is that the seating area was a bit cramped. Nonetheless, I'll definitely be coming back for more of their tasty pies!
So good!! my favorite place to eat! the manager is the sweetest man. can’t recommend enough.
We haven't been here in over 15 years. I was given a gift card for Christmas, so I decided to take my daughter and her boys for lunch today. (Little ones' birthday week)
I'm not a fan of pizza, but 6 & 8 year old boys sure are! The kids' meals are great!! They each had their own pizza and bottomless milk.
My daughter and I enjoyed the spinach artichoke dip and lunch specials. The tomato bisque soup is out of this world, so yummy. Everything was delicious and generous portions, everyone who works here is kind and attenantive.
Our server Christian was fantastic!
One of the bettet CPK locations I had visited as some are very rough. Service here exceeded expectations. Food was also great.
We met friends for lunch in a Saturday at 11am. Not busy at all. Everyone enjoyed their food
I used to be a server for CPK... I know their food well. What's great, 1st is the service, especially at take out... they really get your order correct and are quick about it. What is not great is the fact that they have changed their bread... it's now sourdough and very tough to eat. I feel they did that on purpose so that people would order more appetizers... whatever the case, it is not appealing and it makes me not want to order there. I know that sounds harsh, but it was wonderful bread and its just a bummer!! Otherwise as always the food is good, esp the salads ...you cant go wrong with the BBQ chic chopped salad!! Pictured is the 5 cheese pizza, thai chic pizza and BBQ salad.
Food is great as always and the manager was very kind and professional. CPK is a favorite of ours!
We love California Pizza Kitchen. All the food is very fresh and taste amazing. We're doing a remodelation in our kitchen, so we go there often and it never dissapoints us. The staff there is very friendly too.
It’s CPK. There’s reliable and great good that CPK goers can expect. Wait times were a bit longer than expected, but our server was super friendly and attentive.
Great location with fun vibes. The pizza is top notch, some of the best pizza dough I've had. Highly recommend dining in!
Service could be better. We waited for a table with a half empty restaurant and we had to catch a plane. I think they need more servers for lunch hour. Once sat, service was OK. Food is always amazing. Lunch is a good deal but thick crust Thai pizza could use some more sauce, very dry. Salads are excellent.
Great service i mean awesome best I've had anywhere in a loooong time
I sat at the counter because it was busy, but that allowed me to see how organized this restaurant was during a busy time. The staff was friendly and the food was delicious. The manager was on the floor, keeping things moving and helping with plate deliveries.
