California Pizza Kitchen at Northbrook Court

Don’t bother unless you have 2 hours to spend on dinner. It took us 20 minutes to get sat. The host seemed to also be in charge of expediting to-go orders and serving food which is insane! He was hustling. So we had to wait for him to seat us. Not his fault. But we did see a family come up and take their own menus because they’d been sitting a good 15 and still hadn’t gotten them. Then it took 20 minutes for our server to come and take our drink order. This was for no clear reason because we couldn’t see him doing anything else. Then it took him 20 minutes to bring our drinks and he still forgot one. Again for no real reason, he wasn’t doing anything else. He and the host served our food. He came to check on us just once then we had to hunt him down for the check. He was just at the bar talking to some person. We were his only table and he didn’t bother to give us any type of service at all. To top it off, I ordered a pizza to go and they gave me the wrong one! I will never return to

CPK is used to be my favorite gourmet custom trendy pizza. The hand toss, gluten-free selections with unique flavors. However I have not had a chance to try them in years and realized this time around the quality has been dropped. For nearly $20 (excluded taxes) with additional topping $3 each. I was hoping I really would get a gourmet one and should be enough to feed 3 people (mostly one adult and two small kids). Unfortunate that the size is real small which I do not recall is being this small. You can see based on the photo. It's almost like a personal pizza. It came in 6 slices and about 10" round. The dough is being dry, not enough sauce, barely any cheese or any toppings even I ordered adding extra. Besides that I also ordered the cobb chicken salad. I did pay for full size which is about $20. The half size is $15 before taxes. The chicken was dry, mostly a whole container is just lettuce and tomatoes. It also feels like this is not a full size. I cannot imagine half size would b

It is a bit expensive, pizza is average. The salad was good and I enjoyed the egg rolls . Waiter was really nice and desert was good too .
