LOS ANGELES–(BUSINESS WIRE)–California
Pizza Kitchen (CPK), the authority in creative dining with a
California vibe, today unveiled its fall menu, featuring rich, warm and

Flatbread, Wild Mushroom Strozzapreti and a hand-crafted Blood Orange
Sangria. In addition to its fall menu, CPK also introduced new and
innovative permanent items to its menu: Spicy Buffalo Cauliflower and
fresh and floral Beehive Sangria.
“With cooler temperatures on the way and a wealth of hearty, flavorful
produce in season, we’re excited to introduce our new fall menu,
inspired by seasonal ingredients like Brussels sprouts, earthy mushrooms
and citrus,” said Brian Sullivan, SVP of Culinary Innovation at
California Pizza Kitchen. “From comforting Wild Mushroom Strozzapreti, a
flavorful pasta dish featuring four varieties of mushrooms, Parmesan and
fresh herbs to seasonal favorite Brussels sprouts that we’re serving on
creative flatbreads and alongside our hearty Roasted Garlic Chicken,
join us for a delicious taste of fall at CPK.”
Available at participating CPK restaurants nationwide until January 4,
2017, the fall menu features the following items made to order from the
freshest seasonal ingredients:
-

pan-sautéed Cremini, Portobello and seasonal mushrooms, Parmesan, and
fresh thyme & parsley -

caramelized onions, Nueske’s Applewood smoked bacon, creamy goat
cheese, Romano and cracked black pepper -

New Permanent Menu Additions Arrive
“At California Pizza
Kitchen we’re continually innovating our menu, and our newest permanent
food and beverage items highlight creative takes on small plates and
sangrias,” Sullivan continued. “I absolutely love our Spicy Buffalo
Cauliflower, a vegetarian spin on a traditional buffalo chicken
appetizer that’s packed with spicy Sriracha flavor. Our newest
hand-crafted sangria, Beehive Sangria, incorporates fresh, floral notes
of lavender, bright strawberry, lemon and honey. It’s delicious to sip
on its own or part of our sangria flight.”
