California Pizza Kitchen, known within the food industry as CPK, is a polished casual dining chain that specializes in California style pizzas. The restaurant was started in 1985 by two lawyers Rick Rosenfield and Larry Flax in Beverly hills , California USA. The chain is widely known for its innovative and nontraditional pizzas

They are currently running a special menu called 'World on your plate' 'Pizza trails' with the premise that every country has its own versions that are tailor-made to please thelocal palate. Foodies can now indulge in a variety of lip-smacking pizzas from 10 countries at CPK

I sampled some of them a few days ago.

I started with a Kiwi Mojito drink and then sampled a few appetizers.

Appetizers

Pizzas 

I tried a couple of Pizzaz form the pizza trail menu 
Rustica indiano:  The Indian Themed Pizza, It is a Thin crust pizza with a spiced sauce which tasted like achari sauce fresh cut onions,  tomatoes,  and capsicum,  finished with tangy spicy paneer.
Sauerbraten pizza,:  The German themed Pizza, which has a topping of traditional German Sauerkraut (Which is Fermented sour cabbage),  shredded chicken,  sliced onion,  with mozzarella cheese topped with German style potato salad . I have tasted Saurkraut earlier and liked the taste, some people may find this a little too sour, but worth a try.
