California Pizza Kitchen at Laguna Niguel - Laguna Niguel, California

W P.

Just one small complaint, but otherwise a very good visit.
I had the Carne Asada pizza, very tasty carne, served with a portion of verde salsa, very good (no heat, great flavor).
Good table service, but my complaint is that only one serving of “table bread” for a party of six was served, with no offer of a second.
The open kitchen appeared to be clean, easy parking (weekday).
Recommended.

Food from all CPK locations are great and taste the same. which is a good thing. Consistency at every location. which you can't say about every restaurant. unfortunately, you can't say the same about the service. I been to this location many times, as it is the newest location that is closest to my house. every time I go, I seem to be waiting at the table for about 15 - 20 Minutes before someone actually comes to take my order. that includes even for someone to come just to get my drink order down. I feel like there are always way too many people just standing around than actually doing something. I went yesterday for example, someone comes to set me at a table and says all be with you shortly and never came. finally after 20 minutes of waiting, I just left.

Everybody is real nice.I watched the manager handle a complaint like a pro the only things were my husband got ice tea not coke the waitress and manager both forgot the lemons and Alfredo sauce we weren't charged for them..I noticed the waitress bringing out lil details one at a time instead of multitasking and bringing all 3 at the same time for different customers that won't fly on weekends when they are really busy.Pizza and Salad were excellent!!

First, I signed up for the CPK rewards. On the app it says "get a free starter". Little did I know, they only give you the option for the worst starters (not all the starters). They should be more specific about that.

Second, the $15 starter we do get, the avocado egg rolls, have less filling in 2/6 of them. They fortunately noticed this while serving it and immediately put in an order to fix the poorly put together- two egg rolls. This took about 20 minutes to arrive at our table- just the two egg rolls lol.

Third, we asked the server multiple times for napkins. Pretty much our hands were all greasy for the whole dinner experience. Not once were we asked if we wanted a refill on our soda.

Fourth, we ordered a Neapolitan pizza- which we didn't know but the cheese is served cold on top. So it's essentially a cold pizza- which isn't what I was expecting coming to a Brick oven style pizza place.

Lastly, the ambiance was cold. The waiter himself was too busy locking up for the night. The rest of the team looked like they were inconvenienced by our presence/ since we were the last ones in the place. For example, as we walked about, a short Hispanic lady looked at us leave - made eye contact- and didn't even say bye or goodnight. We kept getting dirty looks from most of the staff. We also did leave before close! We won't be returning to this location.

Party of 12. Familiar family restaurant. American cuisine. Kitchen somewhat slacks on orders though. So give yourself time to enjoy the atmosphere, while knowing your food will take time.

CPK used to offer a certified gluten free pizza, but they just took it away without any warning. There are barely any restaurants that are willing to try and create a safe environment for celiacs to enjoy a meal, and it's so disappointing to see that they've given up on it as well.

New restaurant means a new experience. Still working out the kinks but I'm sure once they get more staff, all will be perfect. Alex was helping us as we sat at the bar and he kept it fun and lively while we waited for our drinks and food. Good times.

This is your average CPK restaurant serving up speciality pizzas and other items. The pizzas were good but the other items like pasta and salads really left much to be desired. Our waiter was terrible. His short term memory was so bad we had to repeatedly ask for things throughout the meal. Another downside of this place is being located next to an In n Out. Long drive thru lines make for sriging around the parking lot a bit cumbersome.
