Finding it
California Pizza Kitchen is in Departures in Terminal 1 at Los Angeles International Airport. It is airside, past the security checkpoint, so allow for the queue before you count on it.
Terminal 1 has 13 places to eat and 8 shops in this directory; the earliest opens at 3:30am.
Hours against the security queue
Across the week, LAX security runs longest around 10pm at a median of 19 minutes, and lightest around 1am at 4 minutes.
Queue figures are medians from FlyIndex's LAX wait-time record, not a live reading.
Other options in Terminal 1
All past the same checkpoint, so you can reach them without clearing security again.
