California Pizza Kitchen at Fairfax Corner

Atmosphere & Location: Situated in the Fairfax Corner shopping/dining area, the venue is easy to access (ample parking nearby) and offers a clean, comfortable interior. The vibe is casual-upscale: friendly for family or group outings, yet still good for a more relaxed dinner. Food & Menu: The menu offers a nice variety: you’ll find classic pizzas, inventive toppings, pastas, salads (including gluten-free options) and some shareable starters. We tried a specialty pizza and a salad—both were well-prepared and flavorful. The crust had good texture, toppings tasted fresh, and they hit the mark. Service: Our server was friendly and attentive. We didn’t feel rushed, but the pace was smooth. One caveat: during peak hours this place could get busy, so service might be a bit slower than the ideal. Value & Overall: Pricing leans a bit higher than ultra-casual pizza spots, but given the ambiance, menu variety, and convenience, it felt reasonable. Areas for improvement If you go at a peak time (weekend evening), parking might take a few extra minutes.

I have visited this California Pizza location in Fairfax Corner several times, especially when my nephews come to town, and we always have a good time. Their pizzas are consistently delicious and less salty than other pizza restaurants. They also have healthier options like gluten-free pizzas and tasty salads. This makes it more appealing to go back and try. The service is decent, and the servers are friendly. The place is well-maintained and clean. Although parking is free, finding a spot on weekends can be challenging since Fairfax Corner is a popular hangout spot.
