California Pizza Kitchen is a popular
restaurant chain, CPK, that expands its menus and locations constantly. The
food is pretty good and the prices are mid-range.
Anaheim California Pizza Kitchen
is located at 2414 East Katella Ave., Anaheim, CA 92806. The
Anaheim California Pizza Kitchen
phone number upon time of publication was (714) 939-6996. Located near
Disneyland and
Anaheim Stadium, the restaurant is the ideal place to dine before attending
a Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim baseball game, or concert and the nearby
venue, the Pond (was Arrowhead, then Honda, and who knows what else).
Anaheim California Pizza Kitchen, nevertheless, offers a great alternative
to Downtown Disney's
Naples Pizza Ristorante, which we happen to love. Between the two, it's
really a tough choice. Location, location may just be the answer to this
dilemma. If you are at the theme parks and need a nice meal, do pick the
Naples pizza place. But for out and about driving around the town, go for
The California Pizza Kitchen not far away. OK?
