This was our Xmas shopping lunch break. Everything was pretty decent. It’s a nice change of pace form the typical menu. We all got the Lunch portion sizes since we were still shopping and didn’t want to be in a food coma trying to walk around the mall. They were very generous sizes considering. Over all everything was good.

I had a great time at California Kitchen – their Thin Crust Sicilian was absolutely delicious, one of the best pizzas I’ve ever eaten, as well as the Wild Mushroom Regular Crust. The last one could be a little moister, and I didn’t taste black truffle at all; but nothing that ruined the overall flavor of the pizza. Their Moscow Mule was really good, please order one whenever you go there. The best part for me was the service. Our waiter was really fun and attentive, making us very comfortable; and he didn’t rushed us at all. Great experience. I would definitely recommend.

Lovely place to have lunch brunch after shopping in Natick Mall. Plenty of pizzas specially known for its taste. Great starters. Mouth watering desserts. Few choice of cocktails. Unfortunately they dint have Ultimate Bloody Mary cocktail. Service is good. Will have to wait for the tables. Efficient and friendly staff. Covid19 protocol strictly followed. Social distancing maintained. Masks are compulsory. Sanitisers kept in handy. All staff wear masks. Coming in and out going customers are separated. Every table is sanitised after use by the customers. Very crowded. They have high chairs for kids and there's kids menu too. One can book in advance and pick up the order. Take aways are there. One can also sit infront of the bar. Small place and can accommodate around 50 customers at a time. Credit cards accepted and can be paid digitally too by scanning. Tips around 15%/20% would be reasonable. Customers can be seated while waiting for their tables. Kids are given drawing and colouring papers and crayons to keep them occupied. Many offers are given to customers with pizza at 8 if one orders 2 meals.

Cauliflower crust is my new go to esp with spicy chipotle chicken pizza. Feels so much lighter on the tummy. Bread and olive oil was a nice starter.

It's better to make a reservation considering it's at the mall. They are very generous with their food. Although in this picture, it looks like it wasn't too much, the half plate salad is sharable between 2 people, if needed. The atmosphere, although crowded is welcoming, and you are very well taken care of.

The five stars is for the hostess. I don’t know her name but she was there Dec 29 at around 3pm. Her sales skills were awesome. We are a party of 7 with 2 small boys, she first told us 45 min wait time, and we hesitated to stay because my kids were starving. She was so sweet and offered to take our name down regardless in case we changed our mind. As we were figuring out where to go she came and offered us a table of 6 with a chair. Her critical thinking skills made us stay and the restaurant didn’t lose a big party. Amazing!

Food was good. We tried spicy buffalo cauliflower, cheese pizza for kid and Chicken pizza.. All of them were good. Right level of spiciness to appetizer and pizza. Crust and edges of the pizza were soft and were not over done. Loved it.

This was our backup choice after Cheese cake factory. But luckily it turned out to be a better choice. There was no wait time to get seated. Was initially skeptical about going here after seeing some reviews that mentioned the food was delivered late, no proper customer service etc. Actually none of these happened during our visit. The restaurant was quiet and everyone was having a great time. The sofa style chairs were comfortable. The waiter came quickly, she took our orders accurately. She dropped the drinks first, then took our main order. The bread was warm as though it was taken right out of the oven. The dishes were all at the correct temperature and taste. The waitress also checked on us frequently. It was my sons birthday so they came out with a special treat and wished him. Would love coming here again.
