california pizza kitchen: always a delight
With so many restaurants to choose from, I always forget how much I love California Pizza Kitchen. They are kind of tucked away inside The Shops at Willow Bend but every time I’ve been there, the place has been packed. Last week a friend was visiting and she’d never been to CPK so it was [...]

Find them at the Crate & Barrel location [...]
