Hadn't been to CPK in years, but it was just as good as I remember. Everything I had was really good!! In hindsight I probably would have gotten a different pizza (the works)...it wasn't bad but the veggies overpowered the pizza and there wasn't enough cheese or meat for my liking. The crispy artichoke salad, sangria flight and the strawberry mango cooler were delicious!!! I'd definitely go back for those items.

We went here for dinner and was pleasantly impressed by the good service and wide selection of menu. We tried the Spicy Chipotle chicken pizza, which had good flavor but was definitely very spicy. For dessert, we tried the chocolate soufflé, a chocolate bomb with really generous scoops of ice cream! Would definitely recommend this place if you want to have good food and quick service!

I stopped in for Lunch when I had some shopping at Pentagon Row. Hadn't been here before. I ordered a Lunch Combo - an individual Pizza - Sausage, Prosciutto and Mushrooms - and a bowl of Pea/Barley Soup. It was hard to choose from the several appealing Soups and Salads...but what I ordered was delicious. The Soup was hearty but perfectly flavored. and accompanied by crusty warm Bread and herbed Olive Oil to dip. The Pizza was wonderful - thin crispy crust, just the right amount of Tomato and Cheese, so the Toppings were not overwhelmed. The freshly brewed, hot Coffee was excellent. Great service from the friendly Staff.An unexpectedly special Lunch! I'll be returning soon for MORE !!!

Updated my review.. Still very good pizza, and I will keep visiting, but not as often. Last time, my drinks finally arrived after the pizza was finished (they had to brew it)... Time before that I left after waiting to be seated for more than 15 minutes without no one ever responding to me before they saw my group walking out the door... To late at that point

Always enjoy the great lunch special. Good location and friendly staff. Food is good. Mushroom/Pepperoni/Sausage pizza w/ Mushroom soup. Pepperoni pizza with Caesar side salad.

Decent casual spot for lunch with reliable CPK menu. Pick 2 lunch menu til 4pm. Salad and Pizza hit the spot. Friendly staff

Good service and good food

Always a go to when over that way around DC. The staff is wonderful and full of personality. Our waiter was amazing and very personable. He even offered to tie my daughter's shoes when she went to walk to the bathroom. The food is always delicious and came fairly quick, granted the restaurant wasn't very busy when we got there. BTW, the sangrias are on point!!!

We stop here for dinner with a group of 47. Even though our group could be considered “big” the service was just great. They were really for us, the food was out in a split, and attention to detail was just perfect. Thanks for your help and service.I believe responding to my post earned the extra star. So, 5 star review, is well deserved.

Great time in here. Severs are nice and friendly.. But maybe they can give some suggestions to customer or introduce some special.. ( I don’t mean bad, but hopping improve for future) store is clean at the time I visited. I enjoyed my food..
