Pizza restaurant brand California Pizza Kitchen is expanding its main entree lineup for a limited time beginning April 21, 2026. Launching at locations nationwide, the menu features chef-created dishes inspired by global and familiar flavors.

The lineup includes:

• Hearth Oven Short Rib Lasagna: A modern twist on a comfort classic, this single-layer, full-sheet lasagna features braised short rib, garlic sauce and mozzarella.
• Filet Skewers with Chimichurri Duo: Flame-grilled filet skewers paired with both green and red chimichurri, served with onion rings and charred broccolini.
• Peruvian Pan-Roasted Chicken: Bone-in, crispy-skinned chicken breast finished with aji verde sauce, accompanied by cilantro-lime-cumin rice and pickled red onions.
• Cedar Plank Salmon over Thai Crispy Rice Salad: CPK’s signature cedar-planked salmon roasted in the hearth oven and served over a salad of jasmine rice, shiitake mushrooms, sugar snap peas, basil, chili and scallions

“Our spring menu invites guests to change up their routine with an array of exciting new dishes. Just like our pizzas and pastas, these entrées bring exciting flavors to the table while staying grounded in the familiar cooking techniques CPK fans know and love," said Chef Paul Pszybylski, vice president of culinary innovation at California Pizza Kitchen. "We’ve drawn inspiration from kitchens around the world, then really showcased what our hearth ovens and CPK kitchens can do.”
