The company’s fourth San Diego location will replace Corner Bakery Cafe near the Encinitas Village Shopping Center, according to a recent liquor license application. While there’s no exact opening date for the corporate-owned site, this comes after Solana Beach lost its California Pizza Kitchen earlier this year after three decades. The news of the additional location is excellent for the company, considering it’s down to three sites in San Diego after, at one point, having at least six locations throughout the city.

San Diego wasn’t the only city forced to pull back on locations. This year, California Pizza Kitchen unexpectedly closed a popular location at Fountains at Roseville Mall in Roseville. While the chain has closed some locations, undergone some ownership changes, and gone in and out of bankruptcy through the years, CPK continues to operate as a global brand serving creative California cuisine in over 120 locations across the U.S. When the new Encinitas location opens, customers can expect everything from signature, hand-tossed pizzas, and high-quality main plates to inventive better-for-you options, and handcrafted beverages.

“Born in Beverly Hills in 1985, former federal prosecutors Rick Rosenfield and Larry Flax combined their passion for food with fresh, high-quality ingredients to create California Pizza Kitchen,” according to the company’s website. “Introducing diners to innovative California-style pizza with the invention of The Original BBQ Chicken Pizza. Today, CPK continues to reimagine California’s creativity, pushing culinary boundaries with a long list of industry-firsts, including gluten-free crust, cauliflower crust, and healthful Power Bowls. Handcrafted with fresh, seasonally inspired ingredients, each dish and cocktail served at CPK is uniquely built on innovation.”
