California Pizza Kitchen - As Good As We Remember

It has been years since we lived close to a California Pizza Kitchen (https://www.cpk.com/Location/Details/Sarasota), whose Thai Chicken Pizza my wife loved. We were delighted to see that one had finally opened at the nearby University Town Center Mall.

A couple of days ago, we decided to give the new one a try. We were rewarded with the fantastic pizzas we remembered. My wife, of course, had the Thai Chicken pizza with grilled chicken breast peanut sauce topped with crisp bean sprouts, julienned carrots, and slivered scallions. I had the California Club pizza with Nueskes applewood smoked bacon (the magic word), roasted chicken and mozzarella, baked and then topped with avocado, wild arugula, fresh-torn basil and Romaine lettuce tossed in lemon-pepper mayo. Since the pizzas were to go, they provided the fresh toppings for the California Club in a separate container.

The pizzas were about $14.25 apiece. Each was large enough for two to provide leftovers for a second dinner.

We'll definitely return.
