CPK is consistent, good, and pretty reasonably priced, but the way people talk about it you'd think it was the best food on earth! I don't really understand why there is always a huge line at this location - the food and ambience is definitely not THAT great. The appetizers are delicious, however - my favorites include the spinach-and-artichoke dip, spring rolls, chicken lettuce wraps, and warmed herb focaccia with tomato. The salads are also tasty, and there are tons of different kinds. However, their namesake pizza is just okay - the selection is great, but you can get much better pizza elsewhere (for less money). It's fun to go here once in awhile, but I wouldn't make it a regular spot. The patio seating with heat lamps is quite nice however, especially on a bustling night in Westwood when there is a premiere going on.
Pros: location, appetizers, selection
Cons: so-so pizza, long waits
