LUNCH: California Pizza Kitchen

CPK's Web site

California Pizza Kitchen is an oldie but a goodie. I don't really like the atmosphere around Arden Mall, so the new CPK on L Street is much welcomed in the downtown parts. I ordered the Thai Chicken pizza, and my colleague ordered the fiesta pizza that came with extras like sour cream, guacamole, and salsa. quite interesting looking! I love that the state requires certain chains to post calories and CPK has done so very nicely right on their menu. I definitely will go back, but I'm going to try something new next time. So far it's been packed, so go early and/or don't expect a short lunch.
