Watch your pie bake in a wood-fired oven at this national chain with global culinary influences.. In Short
Founded in Beverly Hills in 1985, these eateries with the trademark yellow, black and white color scheme have spread nationwide. The decor consists of simple wood and glass with roomy black leather booths. The thin-crust pizzas come with innovative toppings from Asia, Latin America and the Southwest; signature pizzas like the Original BBQ Chicken and Jamaican Jerk Chicken compete with old standbys like pepperoni and traditional cheese. Pastas, salads, soups and sandwiches round out the menu.

First California Pizza Experience.... We went during lunch time, and there were a lot of people. The place way packed. They sat us right away, we got our food about 10 min. later, not bad. We ate it all in about 5 min. We were in a hurry to leave, so we asked for the check. The service was fast, which was great, but it took the waitress about 5 min. to finally bring the check. About 10 min. later, no kidding, my husband went with his credit card to the bar to ask if they can charge it there. No, but the girl was nice enough to take our check and credit card to our waitress that was on the other side of the bar... I don't know what she was doing, or who it is that she was talking to, but about 5 min. later she brought out receipt and we were finally able to leave. The end of our experience was so bad that we don't even remember if we enjoyed the food...
