First, I have to say, I LOVE California Pizza Kitchen. It’s one of my favorite places to eat but the nearest one is about 45 minutes away. When I got the opportunity to review their new Small Cravings menu, I was thrilled! An excuse to make the drive!
The new Small Cravings and Wine Cravings menus debuted on February 4th. These menus encourage guests to explore the many different tastes CPK has to offer by offering smaller portions at a good price. These menus were created with moms in mind- particularly for moms who are craving a girls’ night out. You can add a Small Cravings item onto your favorite CPK dish or order several for a smorgasbord of variety and flavors. The Wine Cravings menu has a select list of high quality wines available by the half glass.
The Small Cravings menu includes:
– Asparagus & Arugula Salad (pictured above)
– Buffalo Chicken
– Sweet Corn Tamale Ravioli
– Crispy Artichoke Hearts
– Mediterranean Plate
– The Wedge Salad
– White Corn Guacamole & Chips
Talk about cravings! After trying out the new menu I have been craving the Buffalo Chicken so bad! I guess being pregnant doesn’t help much in the cravings department but maybe it can help in convincing my husband that we need to make the drive back to CPK!
The Chicken was just as pictured here. Four large pieces served with celery sticks and blue cheese dressing. I shared it with my husband and it really was enough to satisfy my craving yet allowed my stomach enough room for more delicious goodies! This was my favorite item from the Small Cravings menu.
I can’t talk about CPK without mentioning my favorite dish of all-time. Their Waldorf 
Chicken Salad is to die for! The CPK website describes it as “A rendition of a NYC favorite! Field greens, chilled-grilled chicken breast, seedless grapes, Granny Smith apples, candied walnuts, celery and Gorgonzola cheese. Tossed with your choice of Dijon balsamic vinaigrette or blue cheese dressing.” The sweet crunch of the candied nuts paired with the Gorgonzola cheese, grapes, apples and chicken is the most heavenly combination of tastes imaginable. The picture does not do this one justice!

We ate there a few weeks ago and we ordered from this menu! We had the Crispy artichoke hearts and they were to DIE for. I wish they had them in a bigger serving size. Like, maybe a whole meal of them? MMmmmm!

I love California Pizza because their crust is so thin. Most of the pizza places in NY serve thick crust pizza. I also love the variety of toppings.
Luckily, the nearest California Pizza Kitchen is only about 15 minutes away in Stanford
Shopping Center, Palo Alto. Their pizzas are always my favorite. And if you buy the
larger size it’s just as delicious the next day–the true test of an excellent pizza.
The Sweet Corn Tamale Ravioli sounds very interesting.
I love the salads at CPK and all of the pizza’s are amazing.
Thanks for the opportunity to try for this great giveaway.
Mediterranean Plate
It’s near my house. Love thin pizzas.
The Sweet Corn Tamale Ravioli sounds very tasty!
