California Pizza Kitchen at Schaumburg: Reviews & Ratings

I went to California Pizza Kitchen for lunch with a friend on a Tuesday. When we arrived, shortly after opening, we were the first people there. Our meal started with complementary bread and olive oil. I had the fresh strawberry mango cooler to drink. This was a great beverage. It had fruity flavors and the Fresca soda in it added a fizzy texture to it. I got the lunch combo of the lunch size original BBQ chicken pizza and tomato bisque soup. This was the perfect size for lunch. I always feel like I get a good deal for my money when I order off of their lunch combo menu. I left with an order of chips and guacamole because I was told at the end of the meal that I had a free appetizer that was expiring in one week. I feel that this could be changed to be notified about my appetizer earlier, but I had a good lunch the next day. I highly recommend California Pizza Kitchen!

Another great lunch at CPK in Schaumburg with family and friends on Friday, the 24th. Great service: our server Rosario, kept my coffee cup filled and kept everyone's water glasses filled and got all the orders right. Pizzas were great, my wife adores the cauliflower crust, the salad was super fresh, and the soups were hot and tasty. Got a Take & Bake pepperoni to go and to keep the glow on the following day.

tried out their new pizza on the menu and it was so good. they are not skimpy on the ingredients and our service was so good. the male waiter with the glasses should get a ride he knows how to treat customers well.

Good clean food options. Service was good, restaurant was clean. Went in without a reservation and was seated right away. Salad was healthy and a good option but was also something I could easily have made at home. I did like the pizzas though! Yummy vegetables and the crust was really good. Loved the bread and olive oil thats complimentary.

Stopped here for lunch and was very pleased. We don't have CPK where I live so we decided to try while in IL, glad we did. They were fairly busy but we were seated right away and our waiter was very nice, brought bread and took our order right away. I had pizza on a gluten free crust and it was quite good. I always get nervous when ordering gluten free crust because sometimes it's soggy, but this was thin, crispy and had great flavor. My friend had a salad and was glad she only order a half because it was a lot of food and very fresh. I would definitely go here again!

The family and I enjoy a visit to CPK every now and then when we crave for some original and unique pizza flavors and pastas. CPK had an awesome Valentine's dinner for two this week and I heard it was back from prior year. You can choose form 2 options of $40 or $50 and it comes with an appetizer, 2 entrees and a dessert for just $40. We had fresh white corn guacamole, BBQ Chicken pizza, a surprisingly delicious Chicken Tequila Fettuccine (that was as good as its name which we devoured before I remember to take any foodie photos), and ended with savory Butter cake. The Chicken Tequila Fettuccine is one that was new to us and it was SO delicious! The lime/lemon flavor mixed in with a special cream sauce they had really made the dish. It had such a unique flavor for a pasta dish and my husband and I shared it and scooped up every bite. It dominated the pizza and we only wish the portion was bigger. Since we tried it as a special package it was a a great deal since normally it is $20+ so I'm not sure if then the sizes would be bigger or not. Next time we are back, we would definitely order this pasta again. The white corn guacamole was freshly made and good but could have use a bit of salt so we asked for some. The butter cake was good but a bit plain and seem to flop in the middle as you can see from the photo. It was still a decent & moist cake and we finished it all. We got my favorite go-to BBQ Chicken Pizza which was good on a thin crust. It could use a but more chicken and onions, I felt like the ingredients on it was a bit on the slim side. However, given the deal of $40 special, this was a value meal. On its own, I would say these meals are a bit overpriced for the portions. You can sign up to be a rewards member and earn points when you dine which I think is a nice perk as they seem to have specials or promos often. Tip: they don't take reservations here so you want to account for that when you come and arrive ahead with your party. On this Valentine's night we were quoted 45 minutes but was taken in after 25 minutes which was great. A lot of tables were available but we could tell they were a bit short on staff. Still, overall a good experience and enjoyable night.
