    That was a great meal. Located in Albuquerque Uptown. We had one thin crust pizza and one original crust. The thin crust was crisp and crackly - just what you would expect from a thin crust dough. Original do was thicker had a great flavor. I ordered a bit more food than I really needed, but we took some home later and it worked out great. We both had pizza. I got the Hawaiian Pizza. It's one of my favorites, but typically I don't order it when I'm with more than one person. Today we each got a pizza and it worked out great. We also had Szechuan dumplings. Those were very good. They were just spicy enough and not too spicy. We had a couple of drinks as well. See photos below for everything. If you want to keep the costs down, probably skip the drinks. They were pretty expensive. Otherwise, pretty reasonably priced and very enjoyable dinner. The staff were outgoing and attentive. I really liked the people I meant there tonight. I go back again! Five stars.

    Not bad, not bad at all. Had the Hawaiian, deluxe, and shrimp pizzas. Nice pizzas with plenty of toppings. Great customer service provided also. The only gripe I have is that I couldn't taste the pizza sauce. Don't know if there wasn't enough or it had no taste. I will return.

    We went in the late afternoon and it was fairly busy, but our server was kind. We were seated at the expanding tables and the one next to us was quite crowded. Another guest’s back was literally on our table so that was a little weird. I ordered a sangria, which was tasty, but definitely not worth the nearly $11 it cost. The glass was only a bit over half full but most of it was ice. Our pizza was decent, but nothing special.

    This is a cool place, located at ABQ Uptown. They have a nice lunch menu with good pairings. Food is great. There’s nothing we’ve ordered we haven’t really liked. Indoor/outdoor seating available. The pizzas are very good. Salads are good as well as the fish tacos! 🌮

    I was with my family on a good day because we got a new car. I order a California veggie pizza but when they brought it out it was not correct. Then I told the server that this is incorrect but the server kept telling me that the eggplant was grilled onion and left . Did he think I was stupid? I asked for the manager. They took the pizza to replace it amd we waited 15 mins for the new pizza. But when my check came out they charged me with a pizza I don't order. And they said they charged me because they had make another to fix the mistake. They would not agree they made a mistake or even apologize. They said we took off one pizza which was not ordered.

    Every time I come here they have fun new dishes that keep me coming back. Today we had the wild mushroom pizza with a cauliflower crust, the Garlic Butter Seafood Linguini Fini, the pepperoni pizza, the petite wedge salad, and a lovely sangria. Everything was delicious, the server was attentive and the ambiance was warming.

    This was my first time and it’s good, but nothing amazing. Our server was super nice, service was quick. Restaurant and bathrooms are clean. I’d recommend the cauliflower crust on your favorite pizza, it’s lighter and basically just a thin crust. The Italian chopped salad was delicious. The bread and herb oil they offer at the beginning was warm and tasty. I would not recommend the chips and guacamole. Unless you’re fine with it actually being a spicy corn salsa with some diced avocado and also mint. I just wouldn’t call it guacamole.

    Casual restaurant with pizza, pastas and salads. Friendly service, not super crowded. Clean interior. The alfredo pasta with chicken and shrimp was a bit too al dente for me. Needed to be cooked 4-5 more minutes. Good amount of shrimp but lacking on the chicken. The californa club pizza good but the crust slightly burned for me. Plenty of toppings. The mushroom soup was super tasty. Good flavor. Overall a good experience.

    Getting seated was a bit of a wait, but considering that I didn’t have a reservation, I was sat down at a table with in a reasonable time. I usually like to be seated at the bar, but at this particular location they were extremely busy on Saturday afternoon. Also my server happened to be the manager his name is Jeric, very helpful and friendly with recommendations on the menu. I also want to mentioned that he was recently promoted to manager which is a big deal In this industry. I would recommend to anybody to stop by and say hello and congratulate this young man on his success with this company.…!!! Also please remember from down at this location to leave a donation for feed the homeless. Also the Dish that I enjoy the most at CPK is chicken tequila fettuccine and a drink shown in the photo Is the spiked cucumber refresher. I think LOL but it’s good!

    The food was good, not the best I've had. The waitress was lovely and the environment had a good vibe! I'd go back for drinks.

    I had the buffalo cauliflower from the appetizer menu and the Mexican street corn to make a full lunch. For some reason the cauliflower dish was cold and I think the waiter didn't make a point of having timed to come out with the main courses of my tablemates, so it sat waiting. His error, but it was still tasty. Everyone enjoyed lunch and we'll be back.

    Since CPK added their California Field Greens to the menu, I keep returning for it. With its strawberries and watermelon pieces, it is SO delicious and fresh in the summer. It really hits the spot. Just wish they would include more protein pieces (additional price) in it when I order salmon! Noisy and busy restaurant, but always friendly, efficient staff. We leave with our palates pleasantly satiated.

    Order take out pizza first time since I was in the area. Pizza was one size only witch was a small. Not really flavorful considering price for small pizza. I order shrimp scampi it was mostly zucchini. Very little paste and 6 shrimps for $18 dollars. The menu looks different for the scampi. I could go to olive garden or even Applebee's and get more for that amount. Felt like thier cheap on thier quality ,spices and portions but not on the price.

    ABSOLUTELY DO NOT ORDER DELIVERY! Or Uber Eats or anything like that! Pizza arrived COLD! I mean really cold! Like they just pulled it out of the refrigerator cold. The sausages were black and hard as rocks. NASTY PIZZA 😖😖😖

    1.The only time my waitress paid any attention to me is when she tried to sell me gift certificates. 2. I ordered a glass of wine. It was clearly oxidized. Was really bad. I would have sent it back if only my waitress would have been anywhere in site. 3. No bread and olive oil for me. 4. I had to wait way too long for any type of service. This included a long wait for my check. 5. The place was not at all busy. Not sure why the long wait. 6. This is weird. The wine was, without me asking, taken off the bill. This may seem like a good thing. And I was happy not to pay for it. However, it does suggest the bartender knew it was bad and served it anyway. Probably also saw my face when I tasted it. LOL. I have always enjoyed CPK. I am also willing to go back. I just hope next time I'm treated better. The food was good. C- .
