California Pizza Kitchen introduced six new menu items on Thursday, including two pizzas, two sandwiches, a pasta and a dessert.

The new Four Seasons Pizza, which sells for a recommended $13.79, features Italian tomatoes, oven-roasted artichoke hearts, salami, mushrooms, mild onions and mozzarella cheeses, topped with fresh herbs and Parmesan cheese.

Also new to the pizza lineup is the Roasted Artichoke and Spinach Pizza, $12.99, inspired by the chain’s popular spinach-artichoke dip. It features artichoke hearts, sautéed spinach and garlic, fontina, mozzarella and Parmesan cheese and a spinach-artichoke sauce.

New to the pasta lineup is a Baby Clam Linguini, $12.99, made with baby clams, fresh Italian parsley, Parmesan cheese, white wine and red pepper flakes tossed with either a light lemon cream sauce or Italian tomatoes and fresh basil.

The new sandwiches include an Italian Deli, $10.99, made with capicola ham, salami and pepperoni topped with mozzarella and fontina cheeses, basil and shredded lettuce tossed in an herb-mustard Parmesan vinaigrette. The Turkey Stack sandwich, also $10.99, features oven-roasted turkey breast, sliced Roma tomatoes, mayonnaise, shredded lettuce and Dijon-honey mustard.

For dessert, the new addition is a butter cake served with fresh whipped cream. It sells for a recommended $6.26.

Los Angeles-based California Pizza Kitchen operates, franchises or licenses 256 restaurants, including the California Pizza Kitchen and CPK ASAP brands, as well as two LA Food Show Grill & Bar locations.
