California Pizza Kitchen is honoring U.S. veterans and active U.S. military members for their service by offering a complimentary entree and drink from a pre-fixed menu on Nov. 11. Veterans and active military members who purchase a pizza, pasta or salad will also receive a Buy One Get One offer to redeem for a pizza, pasta or salad of equal or lesser value from Nov. 12-Nov 21, according to a press release.

The brand has also partnered with the Disabled American Veterans for a fundraiser and will donate 20% of food and beverage sales from diners who state they support the DAV. The fundraiser runs through Nov. 8.

"CPK takes great pride in supporting our nation's military service community," Scott Hargrove, CPK chief marketing officer, said in the release. "We look forward to welcoming active and retired military service members into our restaurants for a complimentary entree on Veterans Day and partnering with DAV on our annual fundraiser. It's truly an honor to be a part of this important day of recognition and remembrance."

"We're thrilled to be working with CPK again this year to support our veterans," Barry Jesinoski, DAV CEO and national adjutant, said in the release. "The CPK community has made a lasting impact through their annual fundraiser and we're grateful they continue to help us honor our nation's heroes."

California Pizza Kitchen operates more than 180 restaurants across 10 countries and U.S. territories.
