## What We Do

California Pizza Kitchen is an American casual dining restaurant chain founded in 1985 in Beverly Hills by Rick Rosenfield and Larry Flax, known for popularizing California-style and BBQ chicken pizza. It operates more than 180 locations across the U.S. and about ten other countries, and filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2020 before being restructured and later sold to a new ownership consortium in 2025.
