California Pizza Kitchen began in 1985 when attorneys Rick Rosenfield and Larry Flax traded in the courtroom for the dining room. Having always wanted to get into the restaurant business, they pitched their legal pads and turned toward California-style pizzas. After several months of exploring and countless hours of research, they set out to re-invent pizza in the United States opening the first California Pizza Kitchen in Beverly Hills, Calif. on March 27, 1985.

We got a Round Table pie a few weeks ago cuz there's one near our house. Had not had one in many years. Not so good. Would have been better to have eaten it there in Arthurian atmosphere, though, especially if they still have Pac Man.

― HUNTA-V (vahid), Tuesday, 31 October 2006 21:39 (nineteen years ago)

1) Pizza Port in Solana Beach
2) Zachary's in Berkeley/Oakland

FILLIPI'S SOMETIMES

― Tim Ellison (Tim Ellison), Tuesday, 31 October 2006 21:50 (nineteen years ago)

i grew up a few blocks away from pizza port!!

i never thought the pizza was all that - it has that round table thing going on where the crust + sauce + cheese + toppings seem to exist in different universes and will separate from each other if you tip your slice more than 5 degrees off horizontal - but the vibe is VERY NICE there (and the b33r is obviously tops).

― HUNTA-V (vahid), Tuesday, 31 October 2006 21:54 (nineteen years ago)

shasta, i thought you didn't like pizza. or is it for "health" reasons?

― jaxon (jaxon), Tuesday, 31 October 2006 22:18 (nineteen years ago)

it started as a little bit of both... but now it's a whole lotta both.

Cuz Two Boots has shown the city this kind of "fancy" pizza can be done right?

― Dr. Alicia D. Titsovich (sexyDancer), Tuesday, 31 October 2006 22:29 (nineteen years ago)

two boots isn't all that good except for the cheezeless spicey slice thing.

― calvin johnson has ruined rock for an entire generation (orion), Tuesday, 31 October 2006 22:30 (nineteen years ago)

not crazy or retarded (sometimes crazy retarded) but i hate the poopy butt that pizz'a my heart causes.

i actually have a pizz'a my heart here in palo alto, refuse to eat there even though it's the only pizza-by-the-slice in town.

― HUNTA-V (vahid), Tuesday, 31 October 2006 22:31 (nineteen years ago)

johnnie's ny pizzeria in L.A. is pretty good. i liked ameci pizza and pasta when i lived in the sfv (there are about 500 of them up there) but i haven't had it in ages.

did you know?

the original italian pizza was folded bread w/ olive oil + salt + garlic.

then they started folding meat + cheese into the dough.

then it turned into toppings on bread.

ie pizza = unfolded calzone!

-the one with the shrimps is alright, wuzzat "cleopatra jones?"
-why do I hate everything about surf culture?

i find that the water quality out here is very different from the water quality back home -- one of the big reasons nyc pizza and bagels are so definitively "new york" is that there's some weird voodoo in the tap water that gives the bread/crust a particular taste that's hard to replicate elsewhere. maybe it's the fluoride, i dunno.

i remember as a kid in the suburbs sometimes getting these stuffed peppers from the neighborhood my parents grew up in where you could not only taste that nyc water thing but also a muted, wonderful exhaust/sweat nyc tinge

that place i was talking about in san diego, bronx pizza, actually ships in bottled tap water from somewhere in NYC to make their crust!!!

― HUNTA-V (vahid), Wednesday, 1 November 2006 21:40 (nineteen years ago)

I've heard that bullshit about the NYC water making shit taste different. But it doesn't. I've had bagels and pizza be both good and bad in NYC and everywhere else. NYCers just like to make shit up. I'm sure all those places that claim to truck in NYC water (you fucking suckers) just have some dude fill up jugs at the tap behind the building.

mmmmm NYC syphilis water!!!!!

someone in bozeman claims to ship in NYC water for their bagels, too.

Total pizza bummer last night - the place's oven died and so our pizzas were delayed. When we finally got them home, we realized that they had given us a pepperoni pizza instead of the garlic clam and the pesto pizza had no sausage. Bullshit California pizza.

Anna: Why are you so sad?
Kathy: I wish I could play the violin like you. You have more talents than me. That is why I am sad.
Anna: Kathy, you can play tennis better than I can. The dolphin can swim, and the seagull can fly.
Kathy: That makes me happy.
