Ordered takeout in mobile app. They have outside takeout entrance directly on the third floor of the parking garage. Stopped by after 30 minutes, and our orders were ready. The $7.49 pea soup was too little than we could expect. The Chicken Tequila Fettuccine was creamy and well made. After eight minutes of baking, we enjoyed the Garlic Chicken pizza very much.

Food was top tier! I love their Thai Chicken Pizza, BBQ Chicken Pizza, and Avocado Egg Rolls (and both dipping sauces)! Also, their bread was really soft and fresh. My only complaint is slow service and a long wait, but it’s compensated by the fact that they let us order a kids meal sized pizza 🙂

Generally good pizza. Service is pretty attentive and friendly. The place could be a bit cleaner, but it isn’t that bad. Good place for a meal.

Very poor service. Service was extremely slow, and the servers kept forgetting to bring us water, bread, plates, silverware. When we would remind them they would say they will be right back and disappear. Soup came was cold, then they brought a hot bowl when we asked a few times. It was very stressful trying to get served and we had to get up ourselves and help ourselves. I was so disappointed as this used to be one of our favorite places and we used to host our kids birthday parties here also. Service has gone down a LOT! We won’t be going back to dine in.

Ordered for delivery. Got the CPK barbecue salad. I’ve gotten for many years. This is the worst salad I’ve had. Hardly anything on it. Not worth the price. My grandson ordered a pepperoni pizza. He got something with greens all over it. No pepperoni. . Has this place gone downhill? Quality is terrible. Couldn’t eat it. Threw it away. what a Ripoff!!! My husband’s was bad too. He didn’t eat hIs either. Won’t go back. What a shame. Been going there for so many years. Almost $100 later. We had to order from somewhere else.

Tasty pizza. My burger was perfect. Server was mostly efficient except for refills and he never smiled once but was still kind overall and friendly. Would highly recommend this place for lunch or dinner; small or large gatherings

Very nice experience with the CPK. We went on a Sunday afternoon and got a table immediately. Our water Nel was good and we did not have to wait long at all for our drinks or food.

Server was great and he was the bartender overextending hisself. Food was trash guacamole was sad. Cops tasted stale. Pizza was average. Kid’s macaroni and cheese was dry. Chipotle is better with better chips. Server/bartender made good drinks that’s about it. Oh yeah and gnats everywhere disgusting
