California Pizza Kitchen which is usually looked up as a premium place for pizza’s have taken it a level-up by introducing a whole new range of pizza’s starting at just Rs. 245. So no more double thoughts before you make a move to grab some finest pizza's in Bangalore. There’s one thing above all that I truly love about California Pizza Kitchen, which is the assurance of being served fresh cooked pizza’s every time unlike other pizza chains where the pizza is half-cooked already.

California Pizza Kitchen is really well known for its enticing pizzas and mouth-watering taste, having its own set of loyal customers as they have never failed to impress its customers with its spectacular variety. I would have been there so many times and haven't been able to explore everything on the menu. And to our delight, now California Pizza Kitchen has come up a whole new range of pizza’s starting at just Rs. 245.

You can choose your favourites from an exquisite range including Florentine (A thin crust pizza with a mushroom pesto spread with melting mozzarella cheese complementing the fine taste of fresh garden spinach, cherry tomatoes and garlic), I really loved the combination of flavours this pizza had to offer, I am a huge fan of cherry tomato and the combination of cherry tomato with other fresh components like the spinach and mushrooms gave it a really nice taste.

Roasted Mushroom & Pepper (Traditional crust topped with Spicy Baja sauce, mozzarella cheese, red onions, roasted mushroom & bell peppers), the whole idea behind this CPK245 concept was to come up with something unique keeping in mind quality, cost and other such factors. So the CPK team decided to experiment it with pre roasted black mushrooms and bell pepper, again a flavour that I really admire, do ask for some extra pepper when you order this and I am sure you will love it.

Roma Basilico (A traditional crust topped with CPK’s homemade pizza sauce, fresh basil, red onions and sliced roma tomatoes…keeping it simple yet exquisite), I was very excited when I read this name on the menu. Basilica according to roman mythology is sometime referred to as ‘Our Lady of the Snows’ and I was wondering if California Pizza Kitchen has done some reverse engineering and gone into frosted pizza’s; weird thoughts! But couldn’t resist sharing it with you. Whenever you are going to CPK next, this should be the pick as I really loved the Pizza’s filled with cheese and the tomatoes melted to perfection.

Garden Veg (Garden greens, spinach, green peppers, Anaheim chillies & mozzarella cheese on a traditional crust with freshly made green chilli sauce), as the name indicates, ‘Garden Veg’ was full of herbs and leafs, some spinach, green peppers and chillies being the top ingredients, a true veg delight, perfect for the veggie’s in your group.

Traditional Cheese with some fresh chopped basil and loads of cheese baked to perfection. Nothing out of the box which CPK is famous for be it the ingredients they use or the finest thin crust you can find in Bangalore, but a pizza which suits every pocket and is great for parties big or small.

Just for some historical information as I bring this element most of the times in my blogs: Modern pizza evolved from similar flatbread dishes in Naples, Italy in the 18th or early 19th century. Prior to that time, flatbread was often topped with ingredients such as garlic, salt, lard, cheese, and basil. It is uncertain when tomatoes were first added and there are many conflicting claims.

Till then keep exploring and keep eating for the love of food!!
