California Pizza Kitchen has released a limited-time expansion of its national menu, adding five entrées and four spritz cocktails, according to a press release.

The new entrée selection includes a Hearth Oven Short Rib Lasagna with braised short rib and garlic sauce, and a vegetarian Spinach, Artichoke & Mushroom Lasagna. Other additions include Filet Skewers with red and green chimichurri, Peruvian Pan-Roasted Chicken with aji verde sauce and cilantro-lime-cumin rice, and Cedar Plank Salmon served over a Thai crispy rice salad.

The company also introduced four cocktails featuring La Marca Prosecco: a Lavender Lemon Spritz; a Blueberry Elderflower Spritz; a Hugo Spritz with St. Germain and mint and an Aperol Spritz.

"Our spring menu invites guests to change up their routine with an array of exciting new dishes. Just like our pizzas and pastas, these entrées bring exciting flavors to the table while staying grounded in the familiar cooking techniques CPK fans know and love," Paul Pszybylski, vice president of culinary innovation at California Pizza Kitchen. "We've drawn inspiration from kitchens around the world, then really showcased what our hearth ovens and CPK kitchens can do."

The new items are available for dine-in, carryout or delivery at participating locations for a limited time.

CPK serves California cuisine in restaurants spanning 25 U.S. states, along with nine countries and U.S. territories.
