California Pizza Kitchen opened in Beverly Hills in 1985 with the invention of The Original BBQ Chicken Pizza, introducing the world to creative California cuisine. Our reputation for innovation still stands today, with new, industry-first items like Cauliflower Pizza Crust and healthful Power Bowls that lead trends and push boundaries. We hand-toss our dough. We use fresh, seasonal ingredients in unexpected ways. We find inspiration from around the world to fuel our imagination and add our California twist to the classics. In addition to unique pizzas, we offer one-of-a-kind pastas, shareable small plates, fresh salads, premium main plates, hand-crafted cocktails, desserts and more. Join us to experience your own California State-of-Mind.
