Plan a Tasty Bash at California Pizza Kitchen

Planning a Fun CPK Birthday Party

California Pizza Kitchen (CPK) is a popular pizza and pasta restaurant chain that can make for a delicious and memorable birthday party venue. With its creative menu items, colorful decor, and lively atmosphere, CPK has all the ingredients for throwing a tasty birthday bash.

Choosing a CPK Location

The first step in planning your CPK birthday celebration is picking the right restaurant location. Consider how many guests you plan to invite and choose a spacious CPK spot accordingly. Opt for a CPK with a separate party room if available. If you'll have 20+ attendees, call ahead to inquire about reserving a dining area.

Sending CPK Birthday Invitations

Once you've selected your CPK venue, it's time to send out birthday party invitations. CPK's bright red and green colors make for festive invitation designs. Include important details like the CPK location, date, time, and any special instructions for your guests. Don't forget to ask guests to RSVP so you can give the restaurant a headcount.

Enjoying the CPK Birthday Party

Dining at CPK

One of the best parts of a CPK birthday party is enjoying the restaurant's famous California-style pizza, salads, and pastas. CPK has kid-friendly menu items too, like cheese or pepperoni pizzas. For drinks, serve up fruity smoothies or Italian sodas. As the birthday VIP, you can delight in CPK's complimentary dessert!

Birthday Activities and Games

Between courses, keep your CPK birthday guests entertained with some classic party games. For kids and adults alike, play rounds of CPK-themed bingo or trivia. For younger guests, organize a pizza puzzle putting together contest using CPK toy pizza pieces as prizes.

Opening Presents

What's a birthday bash without presents? Set aside time for the birthday girl or boy to open their CPK party gifts. Ask them to pose for photos holding each gift item so they can remember this special day. Having guests say one nice thing about the birthday honoree makes the present opening even more meaningful.

CPK Birthday Party Favors

To extend the delicious CPK birthday fun even after the event ends, send your guests home with cool CPK-themed party favors. Mini CPK pizza boxes with a few pieces of candy "pepperoni" inside make creative take-home treats. Or gift CPK logo stickers, pens, notepads, or magnets featuring a custom "Thank you for celebrating with me!" message.

Ordering a CPK Birthday Cake

Picking out the perfect CPK birthday cake is a piece of...pizza pie! Choose from chocolate or vanilla sheet cakes decorated with CPK's signature red and green colors. Or opt for a round cake designed to look like an actual CPK pizza. Top your cake with candy pasta, marshmallows, or fruity gummy "toppings."

Booking a CPK Birthday Catering Package

For bigger birthday bashes, consider reserving one of CPK's custom catering packages. CPK's "Special Delivery" package offers generous portions of salads, pizzas, pastas and desserts for groups of 10-500 people. Perks include disposable plates and cutlery, so cleanup is a breeze.
