California Pizza Kitchen Selects Valley Fair Site For Today's New Menu Debut

California Pizza Kitchen at Westfield Valley Fair is one of five CPK restaurants in the country debuting today the chain's new "reimagined menu."

The new menu -- which includes steak and seafood dishes, new pizzas such as the Sunny Side Up Bacon + Potato Pizza and handcrafted cocktails, like the "California Roots" drink with avocado and mint -- is part of the transformation of the Santa Clara restaurant, and other markets will soon follow, company officials report. 

“When people think of California Pizza Kitchen, the first thing that comes to mind is our signature California-style pizzas,” says California Pizza Kitchen CEO G.J. Hart. “While we are most certainly proud of our pizza, we are excited and eager to introduce these new dishes in Santa Clara.” 

New additions to the Westfield Valley Fair California Pizza Kitchen menu include:
