California Pizza Kitchen at Natick

It's better to make a reservation considering it's at the mall. They are very generous with their food. Although in this picture, it looks like it wasn't too much, the half plate salad is sharable between 2 people, if needed. The atmosphere, although crowded is welcoming, and you are very well taken care of.

It was my first time at CPK, and I went there because I really love their frozen thin crust pizzas at grocery stores over other brands. It was crowded and had a happening vibe, and their cocktails were nice. The California Colada was very tropical and hit the right notes. However, when it came to the pizza, I wasn't too happy (mostly because I think I hyped myself up too much). But their carne asada pizza was just greatly unsalted, and I had to add a WHOLE lot of salt before I could eat it. Maybe it was a one-off incident? But regardless, I gotta say, I had HIGH expectations, and CPK failed to match that. Maybe I will return some other day to try entrees that are not pizzas. PS: I appreciated their complimentary bread. Their olive oil based dip with herbs was great, but bread can be better (speaking from my experiences at other places).

Since they want to delete my original review from yesterday let's go again. I visited the the restaurant for free veterans day meal. I got inside and asked how much the wait would be for one And the wonderful receptionist told me twenty minutes. I came back later and was seated and sat,sat and sat i did a total of almost 20 minutes before some guy from the back came to help me but im glad the couple who came in after me got served first. so safe to say wasnt in the best mood didnt finish my food and went home do won't be back again
