Something new is arriving to the second-floor location of the Westfield Century City Shopping Center, previously home to California Pizza Kitchen. Colorful plywood is announcing a Fall 2025 opening of Very Thai. I’m not able to locate any information on Very Thai, and even the usually up-to-date Westfield website doesn’t yet mention it, so if you have answers, please pass them on. According to the plywood, what we’re promised is, “A taste of the very best modern Thai cuisine perfected and cherished over 30 years by one of the world’s largest Thai culinary leaders.”

CPK Disappears from Brentwood

The two second floor restaurants in Brentwood Gardens Plaza, at 11677 San Vicente Blvd, have always been a bit problematic.  I’ve long wondered if perhaps it is due to the fact that they’re not street-level.  The space currently operated by Ospi has been through a number of excellent iterations over the years.  But the other space has been home to California Pizza Kitchen for a very long time.  Sadly, that chapter has come to a close.  Readers have been letting me know that CPK has vacated the space.  While there are still many locations around, this location was dear for many as it was their first encounter with the revolutionary California Cuisine brand that invented “The Original BBQ Chicken Pizza“.

North Swathmore Ave. in Pacific Palisades continues its move toward becoming a destination-worthy restaurant row.   More evidence: Roca Pizza is settling into the tony street at 1061 N Swathmore.  Roca Pizza is the latest project from California Pizza Kitchen (CPK) Co-founder Rick Rosenfield and his wife Esther and will feature pies with long-refrigerated dough baked in imported Italian ovens.  They currently have a location in Glendale, and they are planning on a Marina Del Rey location as well at 4700 Admiralty (in Waterside Marina Del Rey).  This location is shooting for an early 2023 opening.
