Hearty pizzas and okay pastas

When travelling with children, one starts to appreciate restaurants that provide easy and tasty food, fast service, and some small items for the younger ones to kill the waiting time. California Pizza Kitchen, a chain of pizza restaurants around the United States, provides all that — and with decent prices.

As name implies, the focus is on pizzas. And they are not the usual fatty fare found in every corner, but imaginative and delicious combinations of usual and not so usual ingredients. They serve also other Italian style food — Americanised, of course, but still quite good — such as pastas, salads, soups, and sandwiches.
