California Pizza Kitchen (“CPK”), the authority in creative dining with a California vibe, opened its first “Next Chapter” restaurant in Massachusetts on Monday, July 25.

The elevated dining experience is part of CPK’s transformational “Next Chapter” initiative that continues to roll out to CPK restaurants nationwide.
“We are excited to introduce our Boston-area guests to California Pizza Kitchen’s ‘next chapter’ with the opening of our new restaurant at MarketStreet in Lynnfield,” said G.J.

We look forward to being a part of the North Shore community and welcoming our local guests to experience what’s new at CPK.”
To celebrate the restaurant’s grand opening, this morning CPK hosted an official ribbon cutting and ceremonial pizza slicing with the Lynnfield Chamber of Commerce, Chief of Police David Breen, Town Administrator Jim Boudreau and community partners from Townscape and Haven from Hunger.
