My family tried all the original pizzas at California Pizza Kitchen. There’s only one we’d never order again.

We won’t be ordering the California veggie again.

Granted, there’s a chance that we ended up with a uniquely bad showing of this pizza, but all the other pies seemed normal, so I doubt it. I think everyone in my family just thoroughly dislikes CPK’s California veggie pizza.

The pizza comes topped with Broccolini, grilled zucchini, shaved Cremini mushrooms, roasted cherry tomatoes, corn, red onions, and mozzarella. (I picked the mushrooms off, but my wife and son tucked in as-is.)

Usually, a plethora of toppings is welcome on a pie, but in this case, there was too much piled on the crust.

The veggies seemed overcooked and soggy, which negatively affected the texture of the pizza. The pie had hardly any sauce to speak of.

Also, in my opinion, Broccolini has no business being on pizza in the first place. I’m even on the fence about zucchini, but it’s a moot point, as this pizza will never be on my table again.
