California Pizza Kitchen is a proof that there is a creator, and that he isn't paying attention to what he is doing. A brass and glass festooned, unconscionably hip place which serves horrible mutations of that Prince of Foods... the pizza. The typical CPK patron would never eat breakfast pizza.

Update 3-13-02: Further research has found that they do make at least one decent pizza, marketed under the name 'Rustica' which includes capers and black olives. The capers, somewhat uncommon in standard pizza recipes, are a nice touch.

A similar restaurant chain can be found internationally called "Pizza Express" with outlets in London and Tokyo, possibly elsewhere. The Greenwich (London) store serves a pizza with, among other things, sultanas, which is suprisingly good on a pizza.
