California Pizza Kitchen was started by Rick Rosenfield and Larry Flax in 1985 in California. It has become one of the most popular pizza chains in the US. It also has outlets in countries like Australia, Mexico, Canada, and more.

More fans have expressed excitement about the chains birthday.
Busy Phillips worked at California Pizza Kitchen
Known for her roles in the likes of White Chicks, Freaks and Geeks, and Girls5eva, Busy Phillips has also worked at California Pizza Kitchen. She joined the chain as a hostess when she was 16 or 17 back in high school.
Phillips told USA Today:
"I've been stalking California Pizza Kitchen for years, trying to see if they're ever going to do any kind of campaign − 'Can I be a part of it because I love them so much?'"
Talking about the ad campaign, which mainly features Busy Phillips trying to convince CPK that turning 40 is okay, she said:
“I’ve been a huge fan of CPK ever since I worked there as a hostess back in the day, so of course I was thrilled to help them celebrate this incredible anniversary. My job was to remind CPK that at 40 years old, there’s no need for reinvention. Their legacy and continued leadership... is exactly what will keep people of all ages loving the brand for many years to come.”
