Conveniently located inside short pump mall and tons of parking. Every time my family visits this location we eat here. We ordered pepperoni pizza and steak .

This was my first time going here. I've had their frozen cauliflower pizza from three grocery store and when I heard they have added this to their restaurant menu I had to check it out. I wasn't disappointed at all. It was really good. The location is perfect, the staff was excellent. The only thing that I can complain about is that my husband and I ordered the same drink but his was virgin with no alcohol but mine tasted exactly the same as if it had no alcohol, the drink was a cucumber mint concoction.

I have a great experience each time I come to this location. The staff are friendly and it doesn’t take a long time to get my food. Younger children may not really care for anything here other than the pizza, but teens and young adults love the food here. Let’s not forget about the college kids. This time I decided to try the soup. I had he baked potato soup which was garnished with green onions and bacon pieces. It was delicious. I wish it had some more green onions and bacon pieces on top. The pepperoni pizza was great as usual. I love watching them make the pizza and cook it in the brick oven. The have wine, beer on tap, soft drinks, lemonades and tea. There’s a little something here for everyone. Stop by and have lunch or dinner. They also have carry out service. Don’t forget to sign up for Pizza Dough Rewards!!

A very vibrant atmosphere, seeing the pizzas being made with fire is cool. The music was alive and the sound of forks hitting plates was dope. The staff was super dope, our food was on time and it was delish! #Fromdaclubhouse approved

CPK is a classic, and we’re lucky to have it out here in VA! My go-to since I was a kid is their Thai Chicken Pizza. It is sweet and savory, with the peanuts giving a beautiful complexity to the flavor, and the bean sprouts giving it a nice refreshing crunch. I also got their Strawberry Mango Cooler, which I recommend as well - it was tangy, bubbly, and refreshing. You can get their pizza to share with 2, or you can eat it all yourself if you’re hungry. They also have really good bread if you are staying at the restaurant to dine in. I got take out but either way it is made fresh. *chef’s kiss

Good food. Wait staff was excellent. Bathroom was clean too! However we sat really close to the folks next to us, which wouldn't have been a big deal under normal circumstances but those folks were loud to a point of us not really being able to talk ourselves. Overall a decent experience.
