Moving 5,000 miles away from California does not mean I must go with out. The fine people of CPK have provided me with the luxuries of a delicious California Pizza right here in Shanghai.

For about 20 dollars I can have my usual (Kung Pao Spaghetti with Shrimp) and diet coke. And I will tell you right now, IT IS SOOOOO GOOD!!!! Just like home. The warm, savory morsels drip away into the taste buds of your hungry deprived mouth.

And if you miss home, well this CPK looks like just like the ones at home. Yellow, wood tables, some black tiles and a giant oven that your pizza just slides right into. Aaaammazing!!

Garrett and I came across CPK on one of our usual weekend escapades. After looking, asking and searching we found it located right outside the Ritz Carlton next to none other then Tony Roma’s. I guess Shanghai got the memo about me being hungry. Geez. Sadly, I don’t know how long this place will stay open, because when we went NO ONE was there! No one!!! Garrett and I were the only people there. Well us and three waitresses and 2 cooks.

I was so hungry and excited when we arrived that I couldn’t stop shaking. For a short moment I thought they might be closed because of how empty it was. But the nice waitress in her white button up shirt, black pants and long black apron opened the door and greeted us. Leading us away from the cold day into the delightful warmth of our perfect CPKish booth.

Who ever said food could not buy happiness was anorexic or a liar.
