California Pizza Kitchen Opens at One Pacific Place in Omaha Tuesday, May 2; Opening Will Benefit Camp Fire USA

The 5,900-square-foot restaurant at One Pacific Place offers a relaxed, comfortable dining experience for lunch and dinner and will be open Sunday through Thursday, 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., and Friday and Saturday, 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Guests can dine-in, take-out or use CPK's Curbside Service and have the restaurant's curbside server deliver their order right to their car.

The menu features all of the CPK favorites, including the Thai Chicken Pizza, Jamaican Jerk Pizza, BBQ Chicken Chopped Salad and Kung Pao Spaghetti. A full bar offers an extensive beverage menu with a great selection of wines along with more than 40 specialty drinks, including CPK's original California Cosmo, and an extensive list of martinis, margaritas and cocktails.

The menu also includes new CPK items such as Adobe Chicken Chowder, a creamy, rich chowder with chicken, Wehani rice, sweet roasted corn, green chilies, mild onions, bell peppers and cilantro; Shanghai Garlic Noodles with wok-stirred Chinese noodles in a garlic ginger sauce with snow peas, Shiitake mushrooms, mild onions, red and yellow peppers, baby broccoli and scallions; and the Milan Pizza, a new Neapolitan-style pizza with grilled and sweet Italian sausage, sauteed wild mushrooms, caramelized onions, Fontina, Mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses.

Following CPK's tradition of giving back to the communities in which it operates, the Omaha restaurant will donate 100 percent of all pizza sales on Tuesday, May 9, 2006 to Camp Fire USA, which provides safe, supervised after-school programs at 18 sites in underserved neighborhoods of Omaha. While at Camp Fire, kids receive food and nutrition programs, academic support, prevention education, community service and social skill development. The programs are curriculum based, prevention focused and structured by age.
