About California Pizza Kitchen Store

We opened our first restaurant In Beverly Hills in 1985. Former federal prosecutors Rick Rosenfield and Larry Flax combined their passion for food with fresh high quality ingredients to create innovative hearth baked pizzas such as The Original BBQ Chicken Thai Chicken and Jamaican Jerk Chicken cooked in an open kitchen. The restaurant gave California a place in the pizza pantheon alongside Chicago and New York. Our California twist on global flavors resonated with guests and almost immediately CPK became a bustling spot for business and family gatherings.
