California Pizza Kitchen Thanks Our Nation's Veterans and Active Military with a Complimentary Meal for Veterans Day

The restaurant brand will also host a nationwide fundraiser with Disabled American Veterans to provide additional support to veterans and their families

This Veterans Day, California Pizza Kitchen (CPK) is proud to once again invite the nation’s veterans and active U.S. military members to enjoy a complimentary entree and beverage at all participating CPK locations nationwide* in recognition of, and gratitude for, their service. Additionally, for the fourth consecutive year, CPK is partnering with the Disabled American Veterans (DAV) on a nationwide fundraiser November 7 through November 9 to support the non-profit organization’s programs and services for veterans and their families.

DAV is a nonprofit charity that provides a lifetime of support for veterans of all generations and their families, helping more than 1 million veterans in positive, life-changing ways each year. Last year, the organization provided more than 163,000 rides to veterans attending medical appointments and assisted in filing over 151,000 claims for benefits. In 2021, DAV-represented veterans received more than $25 billion in earned benefits. DAV’s services are offered at no cost to all generations of veterans, their families and survivors. DAV is also a leader in connecting veterans with meaningful employment, hosting job fairs and providing resources to ensure they have the opportunity to participate in the American Dream their sacrifices have made possible.

To participate in DAV’s fundraiser, guests can show a flyer or mention DAV to their server when visiting any CPK and the brand will donate 20% of all food and beverage sales to the organization. Donations will be made for any dine-in, take-out, catering and online orders at cpk.com when a guest enters PROMO CODE: DAV at checkout**.

On the November 11 Veterans Day holiday, veterans and active military members can select complimentary items from a special CPK menu, including a choice of one of CPK’s California-inspired pizzas, pastas or entrée salads and a beverage. CPK will also provide an exclusive buy one, get one free pizza, pasta, or salad offer good for a return visit from November 12 through November 21***.

“California Pizza Kitchen is honored to celebrate active and retired U.S. military members for their bravery and sacrifice this Veterans Day,” said California Pizza Kitchen EVP and Chief Marketing Officer Scott Hargrove. “As part of our longstanding tradition, we are proud to show our appreciation and gratitude for their service with a complimentary meal and nationwide fundraiser that supports and lifts up the veteran community.”

“It’s been wonderful working with CPK these past four years as they help us continue our mission of supporting our nation’s veterans and their families,” said DAV CEO Marc Burgess. “We’re grateful we can thank our veteran community together this way and know funds raised will help create a lasting, positive impact for many who dedicated their lives to protecting our nation.”
