California Pizza Kitchen's 2019 Summer Menu Includes New BBQ Heirloom Carrot Flatbread

California Pizza Kitchen (CPK) describes this year's summer menu as a "creative response to a growing preference for more options that incorporate fresh fruits and vegetables at the center of the plate." As such, they've introduced the new BBQ Heirloom Carrot Flatbread, a more veggie-heavy take on their signature Original BBQ Chicken Pizza.

The BBQ Heirloom Carrot Flatbread features roasted baby rainbow heirloom carrots (in place of grilled chicken), smoked Gouda, charred red onion petals, Parmesan, fresh cilantro, BBQ sauce, and house-made ranch on hand-stretched dough.

Also on the limited-time 2019 summer menu are:

- California Fields Salad - Fresh watermelon, strawberries, basil, and field greens with house-made Champagne vinaigrette, Feta, and California pistachios.

- Broccoli Sun-Dried Tomato Fusilli - Baby broccolini, house-marinated sun-dried tomatoes, Parmesan, fresh tomatoes, garlic, basil, and thyme, sauteed with California olive oil.

- Strawberry Shortcake - A shortcake biscuit topped with strawberries, whipped cream, and house-made candied lemon zest.

- Sparkling Tropical Haven - La Marca Prosecco, RumHaven Coconut Rum, raspberry puree, and pineapple juice.

- Sparkling Watermelon-Lime (non-alcoholic) -  Perrier Lemon Sparkling Water with a touch of watermelon flavor, fresh mint, and lime.

To encourage you to try new items, CPK offers the CPK Menu Adventure Guarantee, where you can try a new dish and if "you don't absolutely love it," they're replace it with a dish you know you'll like for no additional cost.
