My recent visit to California Pizza Kitchen at the airport, I had the pleasure of trying their pepperoni pizza, and it was truly exceptional. The pizza was remarkably fresh, with a robust and flavorful taste that stood out in every bite. The pepperoni was perfectly crisp, and the cheese was melted to perfection, creating a delightful culinary experience.
Additionally, the margarita was a wonderful complement to the meal. It was refreshing and had the right balance of tanginess, making it an ideal pairing with the pizza. If you find yourself at the airport and in need of a satisfying meal, I highly recommend stopping by California Pizza Kitchen. You won’t be disappointed.

Food is great. Service not so much. Also heard the waitress talking bad about customers.

Lovely experience at this California Pizza Kitchen. Set your expectations because it’s not a full menu location and you’ll have a good meal. The seating is limited with more 2 person tops than 4. The bar seating is acceptable.
Don’t expect your food to come out lightning fast because it is fresh made.
Wilma, my server was charming, and attentive. She even wrapped up my leftover pizza for my flight.
The mushroom and spinach pizza was as good as a full menu location.
I’ll be back.

At the Santa Ana CA Airport, we sat down in the CPK overflow seating to eat a bit of breakfast purchased next to the seating at a coffee shop. We did not know it was CPK overflow. While i stepped away for a moment, Amin walked up to my exhausted wife and curtly told her to leave. Said she was not a customer and trespassing. A courteous request would’ve been appreciated as the seating appeared to be for the coffee place but for a couple of adverts at the entrance. Instead, Amin’s treating us like fetid garbage guarantees we will never eat at a CPK nor recommend it.

Back at our favorite JWA and grabbed a quick bite to eat at CPK. A small, 6 piece Marguerita pizza is good enough to last us before boarding. Fast service. Food came out very quick .

Great spot for breakfast. Definitely the fastest service. Food was at my table in 3 minutes. I didn’t even get a chance to put cream in my coffee.

Wow, what a great experience! Joe the bartender is friendly, knowledgeable, and funny. I highly recommend stopping here when waiting for your flight, for drinks or for food. The pizza was excellent as well, I’m not sure if it’s typical for CPK but I will certainly come back here next time I am in SNA.

⭐☆☆☆☆ Absolute Disappointment Disguised as a Restaurant

California Pizza Kitchen is what happens when mediocrity puts on a blazer and charges $25 for it.

The pizza is neither Californian nor particularly pizza. It’s more like a confused flatbread that went to culinary school, dropped out, and still thinks it deserves respect. The crust is bland, the toppings feel pre-measured by a corporate spreadsheet, and every bite tastes like it was designed to offend no one while satisfying absolutely no one.

The menu reads like a creative writing exercise from 2004 — “innovative,” “bold,” “chef-inspired” — yet somehow every dish arrives tasting eerily identical: lukewarm, under-seasoned, and deeply forgettable. It’s food with commitment issues.

Service? Polite, sure — in the same way airline staff smile while handing you disappointment on a tray. You can practically feel the employees counting minutes until their shift ends, and honestly, I don’t blame them.

And the prices… astonishing. Paying premium prices for food that feels mass-produced and reheated should be studied in business schools as a masterclass in branding over substance.

CPK is not bad in a dramatic way — it’s worse. It’s aggressively average. It’s the restaurant equivalent of elevator music: present, unavoidable, and instantly forgettable.

If you’re craving pizza, go literally anywhere else. If you’re craving California, this ain’t it. If you’re craving quality, warmth, or flavor — keep walking.

Ordered a club sandwich and it was inedible. Tomatoes were frozen, the turkey was ground slop. I took one bite and didn’t finish. This came after 16 hours of traveling and not eating, that should say something. Decided to go to the McDonald’s (which I haven’t ate in 10+ years) knowing they’d at least have something edible and consistent.

The bar and tables were filthy with thrash everywhere. The bartender sat on his phone the entire time, zero service.
