The new location, which is the second opened by CPK franchise partner Lackmann Culinary Services, is located in the university’s Roth Quad adjacent to student residence halls.
Stony Brook University is located on 1,100 acres of Long Island’s north shore, just 60 miles east of New York City, and has been ranked in the top 100 best national universities by U.S. News & World Report. Over 24,000 students would now be able to order from a selection of CPK’s range of dishes.
Lackmann Culinary Services opened the first California Pizza Kitchen location on a college campus at Hofstra University in Hempstead, New York in August 2009.
California Pizza Kitchen, founded in 1985, is a casual dining chain featuring a line of hearth-baked pizzas, including the Original BBQ Chicken Pizza, and a broad selection of distinctive pastas, salads, appetizers, soups, sandwiches and desserts. Of the chain’s 253 restaurants, 205 are company-owned and 48 operate under franchise or license agreements. CPK premium pizzas are also available to sports and entertainment fans at two Southern California venues, Angel Stadium of Anaheim and STAPLES Center.
