Our California vibe is felt across the U.S. in over 200 locations in major cities, not to mention our 47 international franchise locations in 11 countries! Impressive? Totally. Not to toot our own horn or anything, but we’re pretty excited about the partnership we’ve built around the world. What Makes California Pizza Kitchen Special? We’re glad you asked! We’re passionate about many things, but our people are at the top of the list. Ask any one of our team members what they love most about working at California Pizza Kitchen, and most will say “THE PEOPLE!” Our KINDNESS Fund was created to help our own team members troubled by sudden financial emergencies due to catastrophes or crises. Whether the issue is a natural disaster or funeral expenses for the loss of a loved one, team members in need may benefit from donated funds from fellow employees. It’s a circle of kindness we’re quite proud of. Contributing to our communities is another topper on our list. We give our managers and team members free reign to go out there and get involved in the community with charity events, fundraisers, and random acts of kindness; anything your heart desires!
