Apart from California Pizza Kitchen ridding itself of a location in one of Roseville’s most popular shopping malls, it’s business as usual for the fast casual chain.
Colorful images of happy hour deals, freshly baked pizza and mocktails cover the global corporation’s social media pages. But a call to the restaurant at 1190 Roseville Parkway on Wednesday morning confirmed its closing.
“We’ve loved serving our Roseville community and thank you for your patronage” an automated message from the pizza chain in the Fountains at Roseville says, directing customers to its last standing location in the Sacramento region in Arden Fair mall.
California Pizza Kitchen filed for bankruptcy in 2020 , warning hundreds of its global restaurants that it could face closures as a result, CNN, Bloomberg News and The Wall Street Journal reported.
Representatives from the Costa Mesa-based restaurant chain couldn’t be reached for comment on this story.
California Pizza Kitchen was founded in 1985 by former federal prosecutors Rick Rosenfield and Larry Flax in Beverly Hills, according to the corporation’s website.
