Well,
let
me
start
by
saying
that
my
recent
visit
to
the
Kapolei
California
Pizza
Kitchen
was
truly
an
adventure
I
didn't
expect!
I
placed
an
online
order
for
my
daughter
and
myself,
and
things
started
off
on
a
bit
of
a
"flip
side."
When
I
arrived
for
pickup
at
6:08
pm
(a
whopping
5
minutes
past
my
designated
6:03
pm
pickup
time),
I
was
greeted
by
the
ever-friendly
M****.
She
informed
me
that
my
daughter's
pizza
was
taking
a
little
detour
from
the
oven's
conveyor
belt,
but
she
assured
me
it
wouldn't
be
long.
So,
I
plopped
down,
facing
the
kitchen,
ready
for
some
pizza
gazing.
Now,
let
me
paint
the
scene
for
you
-
there
was
another
employee,
let's
call
her
Nes**,
who
seemed
to
be
channeling
her
inner
pizza
acrobat.
I
mean,
I
thought
I
was
watching
a
pizza-themed
magic
show!
She
tossed
a
pizza
onto
the
counter
with
all
the
flair
of
a
frustrated
pizza-throwing
champion,
but
the
poor
pizza
apparently
missed
the
memo
about
its
landing.
Down
it
went,
upside-down
on
the
floor!
Without
missing
a
beat,
Nes**
retrieved
the
pizza,
gave
it
a
"Hey,
you're
back!"
toss
onto
the
counter,
and
well,
let's
just
say
it's
the
first
time
I've
seen
a
pizza
stuck
in
an
unexpected
handstand.
Now,
dear
readers,
you
might
be
wondering,
"Did
anyone
notice
the
gravity-defying
pizza?"
Well,
rest
assured,
our
hero
M****
was
on
the
case!
She
swooped
in
like
a
pizza-savior,
discovered
the
acrobatics,
and
realized
that
the
upside-down
daredevil
was,
in
fact,
my
order.
Yikes!
At
that
point,
I
just
couldn't
resist
-
I
had
to
ask
for
the
name
of
our
pizza
performer,
Nes**.
This
whole
experience
left
me
with
mixed
feelings.
On
one
hand,
I
appreciate
the
transparency
of
the
process
-
who
knew
pizza
tossing
was
a
legitimate
Olympic
sport?
On
the
other
hand,
I
must
admit,
the
mental
image
of
that
pizza
doing
a
somersault
makes
me
wonder
about
the
hidden
talents
of
the
kitchen
staff.
And
just
as
I
watched
my
dinner
defy
gravity,
I
can't
help
but
wonder
what
other
tricks
might
be
going
on
behind
the
scenes.
All
joking
aside,
my
trust
in
the
culinary
prowess
at
this
CPK
has
been
a
little
shaken,
but
I
do
hope
this
little
pizza
mishap
is
a
one-time
event.
Kudos
to
M****
for
being
a
pizza
vigilante
and
handling
the
situation
with
grace.
As
for
Nes**,
well,
I'm
sure
she's
an
expert
in
high-flying
dough
theatrics
now.
Who
knows,
maybe
they
can
start
a
new
show
-
"CPK's
Got
Talent:
The
Pizza
Edition."
In
the
end,
while
I've
had
plenty
of
positive
experiences
at
this
CPK
in
the
past,
this
visit
was
certainly
one
for
the
books.
I'll
keep
my
fingers
crossed
that
future
visits
involve
fewer
gravity-defying
pizza
performances
and
more
of
the
deliciousness
I've
come
to
know
and
love.
