WELLINGTON, FL (December 4, 2013)— California Pizza Kitchen (CPK), the authority on California-style pizza and an industry leader in creative dining, today announced the completion of its newly reimagined Wellington, Fla.location. California Pizza Kitchen’s Recipe for Reimagination features a complete interior redesign with more seating, new hand-tossed California-style pizzas and innovative, California-themed cocktail and wine selections.
In celebration of the unveiling, California Pizza Kitchen is partnering with Rebuilding Together of the Palm Beaches, which provides critical repairs, accessibility modifications and energy efficient upgrades to low-income homes and community centers at no cost to service recipients. On Jan. 14, guests who bring in a fundraiser flyer will have 20 percent of their dining check donated to Rebuilding Together. The flyers can be downloaded atwww.cpk.com/wellington.
“Our ‘Recipe for Reimagination’ has been received incredibly well at our other South Florida locations and we have been anxiously waiting to introduce our reimagined restaurant in Wellington. We hope that it will inspire guests and remind them about what made them fall in love with California Pizza Kitchen in the first place. We are going back to our California roots to provide an authentic, elevated-yet-relaxed atmosphere for casual diners, families and foodies alike,” said California Pizza Kitchen CEO, G.J. Hart.
The 4,870 square foot Wellington restaurant now seats 141guests in a redesigned communal space that has been developed with sustainability in mind. California’s environmental roots are evident in the use of unfinished, reclaimed wood both inside and outside of the restaurant, offering a casual but refined feel that is very warm in color. LED lighting is used throughout the space.
California Pizza Kitchen’s traditional pizza counter, which now seats 11, has been redesigned to make the hearth an even bigger focal point, giving guests the opportunity to interact with the Pizza Chefs and watch them as they hand-stretch and toss California Pizza Kitchen’s new hand-tossed pizza dough.
The reimagined menu features a wide selection of signature flatbreads with new ingredients and flavor combinations, including a new spicy fennel sausage, two different types of pepperoni, fresh mozzarella, hand crumbled wild Greek oregano, freshly torn basil and more. New appetizers and small plates include Spicy Chicken Tinga Quesadilla, White Corn Guacamole + Chips and Asparagus & Arugula Salad.
Guests can also enjoy an extensive selection of cocktails, including new signature drinks such as the “Coconut Kaffir Cooler,” made with Hangar 1 Mandarin Blossom Vodka, Perfect Purée Coconut and Kaffir Lime Leaves; and a “Strawberry Basil Martini” made with VeeV Acaí Spirit, Perfect Purée Strawberry and fresh agave sour. There are also three wine flight options, each with three, three-ounce glasses from the menu.
