California Pizza Kitchen

Had dinner there on Halloween evening.  I can still recall going to California Pizza Kitchen back in L.A. when they first opened -- the one at the Beverly Center.  It was all the rage and packed to the rafters!  Pizzas and salads were all pretty extraordinary back then.  Jump ahead a few dozen years and this franchise is still going relatively strong -- at least the one in Fort Lauderdale.  Food, however, doesn't strike anything special with me:  Pizza was only okay; Caesar salad was only okay, as well.  Had a great time with my company, though.  All very clean and modern and friendly.

The thin crust was very crispy and there isn't enough sauce. All of our food was dry.

Been here four or five times with hungry wintering friends. Overall I like the place and the interesting menu. Nice seating, enough room to find a spot away from screaming kids, etc., but not too large to feel "lost in space." Enjoyed the soups! Enjoyed the appetizers, entrees, and desserts. Didn't enjoy the employee using a broom near our table (dust flying in the air) during our dinner. He continued even after we spoke to him. Then, didn't enjoy the long winded manager's excuses for the untrained worker, including way to much information on the manager's schedule, drive home, late hourstoo much work, etc...wtf?! rathuur!  Please just take care of business and let us enjoy our meal. Thank you!  Will we return? Yes.
