California Pizza Kitchen signs on at University Town Center

The California-based pizza chain has signed a 10-year lease for a 5,500-square-foot space in University Town Center with Benderson Development. The storefront is located at the southwest corner of I-75 and University Parkway, along Cattleman Road.

The lease was signed Nov. 5.

The pizza franchise has locations in the U.S. and internationally, as well as a line of frozen foods sold in grocery stores. The nearest restaurants are in Tampa and Brandon.

Nearby, Blaze Pizza opened earlier this year also on Cattleman Road, across from the Mall at UTC. The franchise features signature pizzas and custom orders.
