    I’ve noticed that a lot of my friends love California Pizza Kitchen. Its an American style restaurant, which specializes in…well…pizza! American style pizza! So, what makes it unlike the traditional Italian Pizza? Pizzas like a “bbq chicken pizza” or a “thai chicken pizza”. They’re unlike the norm…but delicious.

    When you make your trip to CPK…there are ways to order a healthier meal…let me give you your script:

    “I would like a ___________ pizza FOR ONE”
    For example: “a Margarita Pizza for one” or “a Sicilian Pizza With Crispy Thin Crust for one”
    And you can eat the entire thing! Not a lot of people know you can order a pizza for one person at CPK. They would be happy to make it that way for you. If for some reason, they’re not accommodating (doubt it) eat three pieces instead of the six.

    Pizzas to stay away from :(

    Vegetarian Pizza – 1260 calories for the entire pizza

    Shrimp Scampi Pizza – 1318 calories for the entire pizza

    Pizzas that can be ordered better :)

    Pepperoni Pizza

    Sausauge, Pepperoni, and Mushroom Pizza

    Ask your server “can I have my pizza made with less meat and DO NOT add extra cheese to substitute the meat, please.”

    Some other items that are great to order on the menu and will make your tummy happy:

    1 Bowl of Smashed Pea and Barley Soup

    1 Bowl of Tortilla Soup

    ANY salad…none of the salads at CPK are overly “bad” for you…just ask for the dressing on the side or ask for their fat free balsamic vinaigrette.

    Cali Pizza Kitchen is definitely a “different style” of pizza. It’s obvious that nothing beats good ‘ol Chitown pizza, but for weird and different varieties, CPK is a good place to go. Their menu is huge. As far as your comments on which pizza to stay away from, I couldn’t agree with you more. Some of the stuff on that menu is just wacky!

    Yea, it isnt Chicago Pizza, but its cool to try the different variations! Most are better for you than typical pizza because there are so many different variations. It is basically a sandwich! But anyways, thanks for the comment! :)

    CPK is good if you are out and about and near one. Nice thin crust without the heavy toppings normally found at pizza joints. But, the best is when you make your own from scratch!

    Its one of those places you have to acquire a taste for. But its good if you order the right things! I agree though, homemade pizza and Chicagos pizza cannot be beat!
