California Pizza Kitchen’s Legacy: Tracing its Culinary Roots
A Taste of California Creativity
Founded in Beverly Hills in 1985 by Larry Flax and Rick Rosenfield, CPK was born out of a desire to reimagine pizza. The traditional Italian dish found a new home on the West Coast, where fresh ingredients, bold flavors, and culinary experimentation were embraced.
The Fusion of Flavors
CPK’s innovative spirit is best captured by its iconic barbecue chicken pizza. Combining the smokiness of barbecue sauce with the zing of cilantro and the richness of gouda cheese, this creation defied convention and established CPK as a pioneer of fusion flavors. The barbecue chicken pizza became a symbol of the restaurant’s commitment to pushing boundaries and challenging culinary norms.
Local Inspiration, Global Impact
CPK’s culinary philosophy is deeply rooted in California’s diverse culinary landscape. The state’s rich tapestry of cultures and ingredients served as inspiration for pizzas that celebrated global flavors. From Thai-inspired chicken to Mediterranean-style vegetables, CPK’s menu became a canvas for the world’s cuisines to coalesce.
Craftsmanship in Every Bite
While CPK’s menu is a testament to culinary innovation, its commitment to quality craftsmanship has never wavered. The restaurant’s skilled chefs meticulously prepare each dish, ensuring that every ingredient shines in harmony. This dedication to detail is what elevates CPK’s offerings from mere food to a symphony of taste.
A Family-Friendly Destination
Beyond its culinary prowess, CPK’s legacy also rests on its role as a family-friendly destination. The restaurant’s welcoming atmosphere, diverse menu options, and warm hospitality make it a place where families and friends can gather to enjoy a meal and create cherished memories.

From bustling cities to quiet suburbs, CPK’s distinct pizzas have become a staple on tables across the nation, embodying the spirit of California creativity no matter where they’re enjoyed.
Beyond the Crust: The Art and Science of California Pizza Kitchen’s Unique Pizzas
A Visionary Beginning
The tale of CPK began in 1985 when two visionary minds, Larry Flax and Rick Rosenfield, joined forces to transform the pizza landscape. Their goal was not just to create a pizza joint, but to craft an experience that marries the comfort of pizza with the excitement of culinary experimentation.
From Italy to California: A New Identity
While pizza originated in Italy, CPK reinvented it on the sunny shores of California. The restaurant embraced the vibrant and diverse food culture of the state, fusing traditional pizza with fresh ingredients and innovative flavors. This fusion marked the beginning of CPK’s culinary legacy.
The Iconic BBQ Chicken Pizza
If there’s one pizza that encapsulates CPK’s legacy, it’s the iconic BBQ Chicken Pizza. The tanginess of barbecue sauce, the smokiness of gouda cheese, and the freshness of cilantro—all come together to create a symphony of flavors. This pizza wasn’t just a dish; it was a statement that pizza could be a canvas for culinary exploration.
A Global Palette on Pizza
CPK’s innovation extended beyond flavors—it embraced the world’s cuisines. Pizzas like the Thai-inspired chicken pizza and the Mediterranean-style veggie pizza showcased a global palette on a traditional Italian canvas. These creations weren’t just pizzas; they were passports to diverse flavors.
Crafting Every Slice with Care
Behind every slice of CPK’s pizza is a team of skilled chefs who understand that craftsmanship is key. From the dough that’s kneaded to perfection to the arrangement of toppings, every step is a labor of love. This dedication to detail is what sets CPK apart in the world of pizzas.
A Space for Connections

The warm and inviting atmosphere of the restaurant makes it a hub for families, friends, and colleagues to gather and share moments. It’s not just a restaurant; it’s a place where memories are created.
