    A quick business lunch on a very convenient location. But we didn’t have pizza as we were in a rush. Still good. And fun.

    I got here around 6:30 pm on a Saturday. They were relatively busy but I was able to get seated quick and the hostesses were friendly. I ordered my food less than 5 minutes after I sat down and everything came out at a good speed. My server was friendly and attentive. Meal: Tropical mule 9/10 Avocado Egg rolls 10/10 Cheese and tomato pizza 7/10 - I wish the pizza had a sauce on it

    I live nearby but never bothered to go and finally gave it try. I’ll def never go back. We ordered the Mushroom Pepperoni and Sausage pizza and the Veggie Salad to share. The pizza…Crust was crispy and thin - the reason for 2 stars instead of 1. The toppings were poorly distributed and meager. The slices were cut very unevenly. Taste was just ok. Salad/Service…they forgot the dressing, the lettuce was pretty much rotten, the “veggies” were sparse, and since the server was awful, she never checked on us; So, we couldn’t tell her about the lousy salad (that looked like it came from the trash). At the end she apologized with a smile but really she should have removed it from the check. A pic of the shameful salad is attached.

    I've been eating this stuff from my freezer for years before realizing... this is a REAL restaurant!? Wow! Definitely something you have to try for fans of their take-home selections. Much more flavors than you'll get from the Target freezer! And it doesn't stop at pizza... There are plenty of options on the menu, whatever your craving. The menu boasts lots of fresh flavors, unique combinations, and globally inspired dishes that will leave your mouth watering. Inside, you'll find a cross between a pizzeria and fast casual dining, with service you might expect of the latter. Step outside the box and give this restaurant a shot. You won't regret it!

    Amazing place to grab some food while at the prudential center. Service was amazing and they were able to seat us very quickly. The place looked very nice and clean. We ordered the chicken barbecue pizza, shrimp scampi pizza, and a regular five cheese pizza. All of them tasted great. I would definitely recommend coming here if you are in the area. 9/10

    I really enjoy this place. The location is great and you can generally find quick seating after a busy day of shopping at the Prudential Center in Boston. Pizza is great - I generally opt for the bbq chicken. While their pepperoni is good, the slices are a bit too thin and lack the big punch of flavor that I want. Also, their pastas are great! My favorites are the Kung Pao spaghetti and their chicken piccata. Spaghetti and Kung Pao might seem like an abomination, I was pleasantly surprised at how well it came together! Finally, their drinks are DELICIOUS. Try their sangria flight, it's delightful and you almost don't notice you're drinking alcohol. To end the dinner, get a salted caramel pudding! Topped with whipped cream and put on a bed of Oreo cookie crumble, it's a nice dessert that won't leave you feeling bloated.

    The best American pizza in boston. Kind staff and good ambience

    We’ve been here a few times now but haven’t tried their pizzas but tried a lot of their sides, salads and appetisers. I love their spicy buffalo cauliflower (thoroughly satisfies my Indian taste buds), crispy artichoke salad, tomato basil bisque (half n half is a better option incase you want to try their pea barley soup which is great), Mexican street corn and szechwan chicken dumplings. We topped off our dinner with the warm butter cake which was great as a dessert. Love that the place is not that expensive considering its portions and tasty dishes. Its located in the prudential centre and is very much accessible for everyone shopping nearby. Definitely considering to revisit soon!

    1st time here and the service was great and pizzas we order where so delicious my favorite was the California club pizza but overall I give 5+ thumbs up I strongly recommend this place you won't regret it !!

    You would be better off. buying a frozen pizza from the CVS across and heat it up using your car engine block. Perhaps the gas fumes would provide more flavour than the overpriced bland monstrosity I was served.

    We got started off on the wrong foot here when we came in and no one even came to our table for over 10 minutes. They weren’t very busy and we saw many staff members just standing around chatting to each other so it was a little frustrating. I finally went over and asked if someone could take our order and after that things got a little better. They have a beachy vibe to them with surfboards and skateboards in the decor which was cute. We each got the lunch specials (offered 11-4). I got a pepperoni pizza (no cheese since I can’t eat mozzarella) with the Thai salad. Everything was really good! I loved the pizza and always love when they have sauce and I can get the option to exclude the cheese. The salad was fine although I might not call it a salad. It was mostly just crunchies with a few pieces of cabbage. I was really hoping for more of the peanut Thai sauce because it was really dry. My bf got the bbq chicken pizza and he loved it. He also got it with the tortilla soup. I had never heard of this before so I tried it and it was really good! Overall, it was a good and fairly inexpensive lunch.

    A great place for pizza that taste like real good fresh pizza! We have had to wait for 20 min to get a table so maybe book in advance if possible. We had guacamole which was super delicious, spinach’s artichoke dip was also super delicious. Unfortunately not much options for vegetarians, would love to see more inclusion by adding maybe halal or kosher meat/ chicken options for those who appreciate having protein along with their 🍕

    The quality of the food is incredible. We ordered ham, mushroom, sausage and pepperoni pizza and a Hawaiian pizza. Both were delicious. Service is so-so. But it’s worth being patient for food this good.

  • 4/5 Chris G. 2 years ago on Google
    We got takeout, and had beers at the bar while waiting. The children pasta was great. My kid is sometimes picky on red sauces, and ate the whole thing. We also had a cheese pizza, and it had an excellent cheese to sauce ratio. The quality of the ingredients was good. We grabbed a couple drinks at the bar, and the bar was a little limited on the draft selection. For a place featuring fresh ingredients, I wish they had a little larger local selection. With that being said, I would definitely go back to this restaurant or to another in the chain, based on the experience tonight.

    I went to CPK today and I have to say it was a pleasure being there! The ambience was great! Nice lighting and comfortable seating. Natasha, our server was delightful and super helpful! She was quick to serve and helped us with the pizza modification. The food was really good too! The restaurant has good options for vegetarians. What did disappoint me was that tomato basil bisque was not available today. The tortilla soup we ordered instead was good, though it did require acquire the taste for it. We also ordered 5 cheese pizza and request to add marinara sauce as it does not originally come with the pizza. It was a good addition. We also ordered the chocolate souffle with ice cream. That also was on point with respect to taste.

    We had Jamaican Jerk Chicken which is made up of Spicy sweet Caribbean sauce, authentic Jamaican spices, Nueske's applewood smoked bacon, red onions, bell peppers and scallions. For appetizers we tried Szechwan Chicken Dumplings Topped with fresh cilantro, sesame seeds and scallions. Served with our soy-ginger chili sauce. Then , we tried Jambalaya Linguini Fini made up of Blackened chicken and shrimp, Andouille sausage and Tasso ham in our spicy Cajun sauce All of the dishes were very delicious and had unique flavor. It’s a must try

    I placed a take out order online and it was ready when I went to pick this up. It was steamy hot, just the way I like it. They were very generous with the toppings, lots of ham and huge pieces of pineapple. The hand tossed crust was perfect in texture and thickness. The sauce was really good and tasty. Overall, a solid 4* review for convenience and deliciousness!!

    California pizza kitchen at the Pru serves solid service and food. Their options for food including pizza, salad, sandwich and even soup of the day. During lunch, you can get order pick two option. During my stay, the staff was really friendly. I ordered frozen strawberry daiquiri It was a bit of misguidance that I got drinks on rocks when I wanted a frozen blended drink. The waitress was new. I can totally understand. The drink on the rocks was decent, but not my cup. Maybe I'll come back and double ask for blended only option. During the food portion, we spend about $25 not including drink. The food itself was really good. I got a tasty barbecue chicken pizza. It was super favorable. I loved every bite. The food was definitely a highlight of the lunch. I can easily find myself coming back for the food. It would been 5 stars if I got exactly everything.

    Great experience! Order 4 pizzas 🍕 for 4 people and shared all of them, I would say the size of each pizza is pretty decent, it could probably feed two light eaters each, but one pizza person is also a good fit. The service was tremendous with constant check-ins and water refills

  • 5/5 Shuba 2 years ago on Google
    Great service, great food. There were a good number of vegetarian options. The waiter John did a great job suggesting dishes and getting our food on time. I am writing this review while still at the restaurant.

  • 4/5 Fernando J. 3 years ago on Google
    It's been a while since I had CPK and it was a great experience in terms of the food. However, this location seemed understaffed, as it was really hard to get our server's attention. It was not that she wasn't trying, she was extremely busy. However, once again, the food was great!

  • 2/5 Pulkit S. 2 years ago on Google
    Veggie pizza order was made incorrectly. Took 70 minutes total to get the correct order. The supervisor nicely gave us free desserts in compensation for the mistake and wait time.

  • 5/5 Ava B. 2 years ago on Google
    Wonderful! Not only is it delicious, but they are great at working with celiac disease! So nice to have a safe gluten free pizza to eat :)

  • 1/5 Emel A. 2 years ago on Google
    Every time we come here, we wait at least 30 minutes to place an order. You need to show extraordinarily effort to make yourself noticed by the staff! The slowest service ever!

    An ideal pizza, thin and crispy with very much fresh ingredients 💥
