California-style pizza (also known as gourmet pizza or California pizza) is a style of single-serving pizza that combines New York and Italian thin crust with toppings from the California Cuisine cooking style. Wolfgang Puck popularized this style of pizza. Restaurant chains like California Pizza Kitchen, Sammy's Woodfired Pizza, and Extreme Pizza are three major pizza franchises associated with California-style pizza, but it is served in a number of California Cuisine restaurants.

I love California Pizza Kitchen and tried making a pizza tasting the same way at home. I failed miserably. I also tried cooking the clam chowder I love to eat at Red Lobster. Again... I failed misterbly. I started searching the net for copycat recipes and I indeed found a website revealing secret recipes of the most famous restaurants.
