| - this review is for the california pizza kitchen inside the fashion show mall.
first of all.. out of all the california pizza kitchens i've been to, this one has the worst service. i work inside of the mall so i consider myself a regular here and bad service is something that i find on most of my visits. when you first walk in, you'll find the chatty hostesses who will talk to their friends in front of you while you stare at them and wait for them to seat you. most of the waiters/waitresses will take their sweet ass time to get to you and help you with what you need, especially if what you needed was a refill of your drink. on one occasion, they charged me the wrong amount to my credit card and i had to drive back to CPK just to get it fixed. on a second occasion, i came with friends and we paid for the bill in twenty dollar bills.. well you know how you're supposed to get change back right? the waiter took our money and DISAPPEARED. we sat there waiting for 30 minutes for him to return and no one came around. since it was late and the rest of the mall was closing, we just gave up and left. even though i got compensated for it by the manager (she's a real sweetheart) when i came around a second time, i gotta warn you guys to be careful when you're paying for your meal.. whether you pay with cash or card.
anyways, as for everything else, the restaurant is clean, the seats aren't cramped, and the portions are a little below average compared to other CPKs (i guess i expect that when i'm dining at the fashion show mall).
the food is standard and consistent. one thing i really recommend is the garlic cream fettuccine.. like seriously its the only thing i order every time i come. if you've never had it before, its a nice big plate of noodles with a thick white sauce that fills you up good for 10 dollars. you can add chicken and mushrooms to it for an extra cost, but i don't. one plate of noodles can be shared between two people for a meal that won't make you feel bloated despite the heavyness of the sauce. the spaghetti bolognese is good too if you want something tomato-y. theres a garlic tomato-y spaghetti that they sell that i don't recommend anyone to eat.. unless they enjoy a mouth full of garlic flavor that super minty gum can't remove. the pesto is not my favorite. the salads here are on the ehh side. for appetizers, the fried macaroni and cheese (it has a fancier name.. but i forgot it) is delicious! but it's on the small side. it comes with four pieces (my picture only shows two because i have a bad habit of eating my food and then remembering to take a picture) on a plate with cheesy sauce. as for the pizzas.. i can't say anything about them. i don't like pizza ):
overall, the food here is just as good as any other california pizza kitchen but i'd rather go to town square or the mirage because the service would be better there.
p.s. when they ask you if you want to sit inside or outside, choose INSIDE! from my experience, the service is faster. oh and ask for free bread. yum!
p.p.s i've recently discovered that you get more food with take out!
