California Pizza Kitchen @ Forum The Shopping Mall Orchard

If you're a big pizza lover like me, I suggest you try the pizzas at California Pizza Kitchen. I had only ever tried pizza from here once before in Indonesia, a long time ago, and I didn't remember what it was like back then. But I was so glad we tried it here because I tell ya, the thin crust pizza we ordered was to die for. The pizza was baked in a wood fired oven, hence it had that charred aroma to it and th ecrust was sooo crispy. I can't remember what cheese they used but it totally made the pizza. All through chomping down the pizza I kept saying to Edmund "oh this is so good" over and over again...hehehe. I think I had a foodgasmic experience =)

Service wasn't spectacular, really, would it hurt the waitress to smile a little bit??? And be prepared to wait for your food especially on a busy weekend. On the upside the kids get given some crayons and could doodle on the kids' menu which doubled as activity leaflet. Kids menu looked pretty good too, for $12 something they could choose a pizza/pasta and sundae. I spotted some of the kiddie sundaes floating around and it looked good and big enough even for the grown-ups to 'sample' =) Pricewise for the pizza, well u know it's not gonna cost you the same as pizzas in oz, but it's priced the same as Pizza Hut here. I think between $17-$22 (don't forget the plus plus). They also had an assortment of salads which you could order as a Whole or Half serving. I ordered a Strawberry Lemonade which was very nice, and as the general rule of thumb goes in most restaurants, profit is earned through drinks if you catch my drift. Anyway since price wise it's similar to Pizza Hut, I would rahter have California Pizza Kitchen any day - just too bad they're not as nearby as Pizza Hut.
