First there was the BBQ Chicken. Then came Thai Chicken, BLT and Tandoori. Then Vegetarian and Rosemary Chicken Potato. And, for the traditionalists, Mushroom, Pepperoni and Sausage. Since we opened our first California Pizza Kitchen in 1985, we have been playing with this simple, yet classic, dish. Our goal is to translate America’s favorite flavors and tastes onto a great pizza crust, as well as into pasta, salads and desserts.
