California Pizza Kitchen at Schaumburg

Rosie was an absolute standout — super attentive, top-notch, and completely on it the entire time. You can tell he takes pride in what he does because nothing was missed and everything felt smooth and organized. We ordered the BBQ pizza and it was excellent. The salad was fresh and really well done, not an afterthought. Food quality and presentation were great overall. Service was impressively fast, especially for a Sunday when places are usually slammed. Between the food and Rosie’s thorough, friendly service, the whole experience felt easy and enjoyable. Definitely a spot worth coming back to.

My spouse and I have been coming to this location for years, and we always order the 5 Cheese Pizza. This place has never been just another restaurant to us — it holds memories. Every single time, we requested that the fresh tomatoes be substituted with sun-dried tomatoes, and our order consistently arrived exactly as requested. During our most recent visit, however, the pizzas were served with oven-roasted cherry tomatoes cut in half instead of sun-dried tomatoes. When we brought this to the staff’s attention, the chef who prepared the pizza came to our table and stated that they have never had sun-dried tomatoes and that what we had supposedly been eating all these years were roasted cherry tomatoes cut in half. We calmly explained that we have been ordering it this way for years at

food was delicious. but the best part was the server (in specs) was polite, attentive and proactive. 10 ⭐️ star.

Under-staffed, below average service, & ok food. We went there after a few years, & this place has drastically changed since then. Waiter came after a l..o..n..g time to ask for our order. Took another 15-20 mins to bring the drinks, soup, bread. Pizzas came within 3-4 mins right after.🙂 Never came back to ask how we were doing, & had no smile on her face in the couple interactions. California Veggie Pizza seemed to be hurriedly made with a very soggy/soft crust. Personally, I felt the Cauliflower pieces were cut too large as seen in photo. Someone else may like it this way. Toastada pizza was nice & crispy.

Our server was amazing. Very attentive, professional, and kind. 10/10 Our food was also very good. The issue was with someone (not our server) running outside to take a picture of my license plates AND calling me after I left the restaurant STATING (not asking) that I didn’t pay my bill. I stated I paid on the inKind app and was more than happy to email her my receipt. She said not one word. After a couple mins she proceeded to say she had to refresh her system and saw I paid. I let her know before calling A paying customer to accuse them she should double check on her end as it is rude. She stated “ok”.
