Click here for California Pizza Kitchen's Details in the Taiwanease Directory.

This place is located at the far end of what was Warner Village (whatever it's called now) by 101. Walk past it weekly, stopped for lunch for the first time today.

Surprisingly good.
Good service.
A decent set meal for two for NT$990: two soups, two salads, a pasta and pizza.

The soup... corn soup, mind you... was good. Good. Corn soup. How odd.
The salad was small, but better than just good.
The pasta... meh... too heavy on the garlic, wasn't bad.
The Milan pizza: delightful. A real surprise.

Also had the best. glass of lemonade. ever.

Only been once, but definitely going back.

Only been once, but definitely going back.

Very good. I tried to tell that to another good friend and I have written about it elsewhere but they didn't seem to even want to listen.

Just order the special kinds of pizza's that you can't get anywhere else, and that is where they excel. The salmon/caper pizza is a great start or should I say must? Then do it better and order the pizzas with salads on top.

There is an outdoor area that opens up after 5 on weekends.

And they have cider.

very recommended for a casual/fun date if sitting outdoor in evening during the summer.

Whether or not you want to discuss the insinuating anti-obelisk 101 is up to you while it is in your view..

I thought it was nice that they don't have to pretend to be Italian.

Went past there yesterday after a movie and was impressed with the plates in front of the diners. The Kitchen is on my to do list this summer.
