I’m sorry, and I hate leaving bad reviews but our experience here last week was very disappointing. We’ve been coming to & ordering from cpk for about 3 years, and we are sad to say the restaurant has gone majorly down hill.

We use to love getting pizza here because it was fresh, tasty and always a great experience, but after not coming to the restaurant for almost a year, it feels like a different place.

Waitress forgot drinks, and we had to remind her multiple times, my husbands drink/glass had dirty black specks in it, to which we gave the drink back to our waitress and she was quite embarrassed. Our appetizers and entree took an extremely long time to get to our table despite the restaurant not being very busy, and while we were there saw multiple tables frustrated with their service, we actually saw two tables walk out, and another table have to go up to the manager to ask if they had forgotten about them as no one had come to ask their order or bring drinks to them for almost 20 min…

To be a little bit more positive.. my endless sunshine drink was very tasty, and the dynamite shrimp was yummy.

However my husbands pizza was floppy, and as a former fan of the tomato pizza and bbq chicken pizza, neither tasted the way they use to. My favorite dish used to be the buffalo cauliflower and this time it was very soggy. My chopped Italian salad also had very little flavor and I’ve gotten this salad many times before.

I also unfortunately got quite sick after eating here as did a few other members of my party and this was the only thing we ate that was the same this day.

I don’t know what had happened to this place we use to enjoy coming to, but unfortunately we won’t be returning.

Had a dinner with my boyfriend here and it was absolutely amazing!! I never usually write reviews but Daniel in particular was such a spectacular server, I had to! Legitimately one of the best service experience both me and my partner had, he was so attentive and great to talk to.

I had the Shrimp Scampi Zucchini Pasta, and my BF had the pepperoni pizza, and we also had complimentary bread served with olive oil (which was . honestly heavenly- freshly baked with a thin crust and a warm soft inside), ended up buying a loaf to bring home! We almost loved the strawberry mango mocktail with fresco so refreshing.

Highly highly recommend 🙂 Will definitely be coming back!

California Pizza Kitchen never disappoints! The food is consistently fresh, flavorful, and made just right. From the creative pizzas to the pastas and salads, everything is delicious and well presented. The atmosphere is welcoming and relaxed, making it a great spot for family, friends, or a casual night out. The service is friendly and attentive, which makes the experience even better. Highly recommend CPK if you’re looking for great food and a great dining experience!

We love love love the refreshing coolers Strawberry or Cucumber but our favorite item on the menu is the Buffalo Cauliflower this dish finger licking good! The restaurant has a nice outdoor seating which is great to enjoy the nice weather while eating. Our waitress Katie was so lovely and service focused – she just made our lunch here perfect.

First time here a CPK and both my husband and I were delighted with the entire experience! Loved the atmosphere and it was clean, inviting and well lit. Our server was Jocelyn and she was friendly, attentive and we shared lovely conversation. Do order the buffalo cauliflower-it is so tasty! We also ordered the white corn salsa and chips which we loved as well! The California veggie pizza was tasty and we left feeling happy with our first visit!! Definitely will return next time we are in Sarasota!

I only went to that place once and I’ll never go back. The wait to be served was incredibly long, and when they finally did, my 10 year old daughter ordered a salad that had pieces of wood in the meat; she almost swallowed them! And the pizza was truly terrible; the photos they show on the website are really impressive and tempting, but the reality is quite different and disappointing.

Excellent experience at California Pizza Kitchen
The place is beautifully maintained on the outside, with a modern facade featuring natural stone and wood elements that give it an elegant and welcoming look. The bright yellow doors at the entrance really stand out, making it easy to find. The outdoor patio area is spacious, breezy, and well-equipped with fans and decorative plants—perfect for enjoying a sunny day.
Definitely a spot that stands out for its cleanliness, design, and overall great vibe. Highly recommended if you appreciate a polished and comfortable atmosphere!

The bartender was very nice, but the bar area was extremely dirty. Dirty dishes from other customers sat around me my entire visit. I even overheard staff saying they weren’t going to clean it because it was “someone else’s job.” I spoke with the manager, but the lack of cleanliness was very off-putting. If the visible areas are this filthy, it makes me question the kitchen. I would not return to this location. not to mention, kids should be sitting at the bar

Came in for the first time today. Waited 10 minutes before Crystal, our server came over. No smile, zero welcoming presence. We ordered our drinks and appetizer right away and needed a moment with the menu for our entrees. We were given no time to ask questions about the menu. The avocado egg rolls were delicious. The sauces that came with it were perfect. We just went ahead and ordered some lunch duos since our server just walked away without answering questions. My husband got the pizza and salad and I got the tomato bisque and salad. He enjoyed the pizza but everything was just ok. I’ll come back for the egg rolls as a to go order to avoid how awful the service was. This was a very disappointing first experience.

This is our favorite place to eat pizza in Sarasota! Not only is their food great, their service is top notch! Crystal is always friend, efficient, and knows what we like when we sit down. She remembers what our orders have been before we order and has our drinks when she brings us the menu, although she knows we always get the same thing. We highly recommend CPK and be sure to ask for Crystal!
