Law Office of Brodsky & Smith, LLC Announces Investigation of California Pizza Kitchen, Inc.

Law office of Brodsky & Smith, LLC announces that it is investigating potential claims against the Board of Directors of California Pizza Kitchen, Inc. (“CPK” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: CPKI) relating to the proposed acquisition by an affiliate of Golden Gate Capital (“Golden Gate”).

Under the terms of the transaction CPK shareholders would receive $18.50 in cash for each share CPK stock they own.

The transaction may undervalue CPK as CPK stock traded at $21.30 on April 23, 2010 and an analyst has set a price target of $24.00 for the Company.
