    Great Happy Hour Special with quick service. Pizza around 7-8inch with a beer selection at only $6 Dough was perfectly crisp, enough toppings and didn't go skimpy on the Avo. Waiter was attentive, thank you

    Disappointing experience. They had closed signs on both bathrooms, but for no reason...made customers really frustrated. They actually let us use them, but should have taken the signs down. Our server did a really good job, but others had called in sick, so she was crazy busy. The soup was too expensive for the amount...probably not even half a cup.

    Waited for over an hour after making reservation to sit down. Waited another 45 minutes to have our order taken. When the pizza came out another 30 minutes later, it had all the seasoning on two pepperonis. My drink stayed empty the whole time. No one came to get the check, so I needed up leaving a tip no one there deserved.

    My wife and I stopped by here to grab dinner on our last night of our honeymoon in Santa Barbara. She wanted her Salmon here so thats why we came here. We walked to the restrauant from our hotel which was a mile away. When we walked in, we got seated right away. I used the Dodger win pizza deal and my fiancée got her Salmon. The service was slower than usual but we were understanding with the world we live in. My pizza was alright but my wife said her Salmon tasted plain. I taste it as well and it was plain to me too. When the bill came, they forgot to apply my CPK reward for the pizza so I had to tell them.

    The pizza is alright, nothing extraordinary. I was slightly taken aback by the service, though. After ordering a Margarita and Pepperoni pizza, I left a good tip and I asked if they could distribute half of each into two boxes. They responded saying they didn’t have the time. It's a small thing, but good customer service goes a long way.

    The Thai crunch salad was excellent and the California club pizza was good too. Good beer selection although the server has no clue what the beer styles were. Pretty chill atmosphere in the heart of tourist land.

    Great food and kid friendly. The menu changed a bit, but still good experience.

    Ordered through Postmates for a lunch with a client and received wrong order. Correct receipt on bag for the driver but wrong order completely inside. Called them to remedy and the girl on the phone told me since it’s third party they aren’t responsible even if it is their mixup. Horrible customer service. The manager Stephanie just told us to reorder our $100 order again. Will never trust this place to order from again.

    We had such a lovely time for my sister in laws birthday. Our waiter was great and very attentive, & quick! We didn't have to wait long for things /condiments that we ordered. Food was yummy. Will go back again for dessert next time. Bring back the key lime pie please!!

    Really bad service. We waited for 10 minutes to be seated when the restaurant had many empty seats. After seating, no body came to take our order, nobody was there to help us place an order even. Worst place I have ever visited. Never coming again

    The food here is always amazing. I love CPK however the service needs work. We never received or were even asked if we wanted bread. The pizza took two times the amount of time it takes to make. The server never came around to check if we wanted refills. Instead we had to flag someone down. The people at the bar were being served very well. I guess next time of my recommendation is to sit at the bar. Wish the service was better. I love this restaurant. But hard to recommend with service like that. No complaint on the food. Always tasty!!!

    Hate to do this because CPK Thai Crunch Salad is supreme but.. we had a terrible experience at this location. Without getting into too much detail, the things that went wrong: - Vegetarians beware | Salad with sub for vege chicken came out with chicken meat, and my vegetarian SIL accidentally ate chicken meat (she's been vege for over a decade) - Check your bill | Replacement salad for vege didn't have avocado in it although the additional charge for avocado was still on the bill. - Not good for big groups | Table of 7, two mains came out, the others didn't arrive for at least 15min, so the two first meals had to be eaten before everyone else got their food or they'd be cold. Pizza was not hot on arrival. - Not good for small children/babies | We had a 2 year old who's meal was last to come. (not sure how a salmon dish and a large pizza takes longer than salads & a child's pizza to make..) - Don't expect attentive service | Asked for more menus twice (only had 2 for a table of 7) and they never came. Asked for water 3 times—luckily on the 3rd time we got some. Asked for side plates for the appetizers—never came. Dirty appetizer dishes never got cleared. Staff would drop things off and then not stick around long enough to see if we had everything we needed so it was impossible to flag anyone down for help/service. Eg. asked for fresh cracked pepper but they bought chilli flakes and I didn't have the chance to say "sorry I wanted black pepper". Never got asked how our meal was. Usually wouldn't waste my time writing a review like this but it was for my Mother's 70th birthday (which they knew) and overall the experience was so upsetting for the entire family. Only shout-out is to Sam, who wrote a note and left it at the front desk saying we would be coming (even though they do not take reservations).

    Came here tonight with my fiancée. Was greeted by Maylin, and they (along with the entitle staff) were so friendly and welcoming. Food was on point, even with a long line of takeout orders. Highly recommend them!!

    Pretty decent food, customer service was lacking.

  • 4/5 Silma S. 1 year ago on Google
    I enjoyed the food and the service was very good too. My only complaint is that the bathrooms were dirty and they smelled bad.

  • 4/5 Victoria C. 4 years ago on Google
    It’s one of the few restaurants open late in down town Santa Barbara. The service is great, very welcoming. They didn’t have any vegan dish but they cooked pasta with a delicious marinara sauce, I appreciate that they thought about something rather than offer just a salad. Wine and music were great, I recommend this place.

    Although they were under staff like most businesses are, our lovely waitress kept checking on us and updating us on our drinks. Food was good

  • 1/5 Nichole B. 1 year ago on Google
    Went to the restaurant today ordered a half salad and was charged $21 no drink no nothing else just a half salad then when I requested bread the waiter told me that they didn’t have any and that they still had a bake some than 10-15 minutes later I asked again and he said that he forgot and that they still haven’t put in the oven. Definitely will not go back to that restaurant

    I don't know why we had never eaten at CPK after all these years but I'm glad we finally did. Ironically, our first experience of California Pizza Kitchen was in Nevada last month (eh, go figure) and that's when we remembered there is a CPK in our area. The food is so good and the service super friendly. I ordered the Tostada pizza out off curiosity and it is so good, I would get it again without hesitation. Angel was our waiter and was being shadowed by Sawer and they both provided us with the best customer service we've had on a long time. We're definitely returning to it next visit to Santa Barbara.

    Decent food, they brought home-made bread for free, very tasty. The coffee was brought in almost cold. The interior is not very interesting, poor
