The Worst Restaurant Chains in America Ranked From Bad to Worse

California Pizza Kitchen

CPK has a strange history of being the most hit-or-miss chain restaurant out there. Although this brick oven pizza spot turns out some 6/10 pies consistently, everything else on the menu is a curveball. Pairing a Thai slaw salad with a BBQ chicken pizza and washing it down with a Bloody Mary might not seem like an ideal evening, but that’s the one you’re going to have if you waltz into CPK. Oh, their lunch deal is actually pretty decent, criticisms aside.
