I recently dined at this CPK location and I must say it was a unique experience. This location was surprisingly small compared to others I've visited, which created a cozy atmosphere. However, the lack of waitstaff was noticeable, and it took a while to get...Read More

This place holds a special place in my heart! It's where I met my friend nine years ago, and we recently returned for a reunion. We kept it simple with our usual order of Thai chicken salad and pepperoni pizza, focusing on catching up instead. The...Read More

Ordered two pizzas both with no meat for takeout. They gave me a different pizza and that too with meat. I didn’t check it at time of the pickup. Called them up when I saw the meat at home and the employee says she has...Read More
