Giving is far better than receiving. When California Pizza Kitchen opens its newest store at Pine Straw Plaza in Marietta today (Monday, Feb. 25), it will donate 100 percent of all dine-in pizza sales to Make-A-Wish Foundation of Georgia and Alabama, which is headquartered in Marietta. The nonprofit organization grants the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions. Past wishes have included trips to Walt Disney World, meeting celebrities and sports stars, going on shopping sprees or being an airline pilot or ballerina. Try our fave: the Thai chicken pizza, which features chicken breast marinated in a spicy peanut-ginger and sesame sauce, mozzarella cheese, green onions, bean sprouts, julienne carrots, cilantro and roasted peanuts. Forget your diet for a day. Do it for the children. 4250 Roswell Road. 770-971-7950.
