9.32.2.3 How do I make a 3DPlot using cylindrical coordinates?

https://mathematica.stackexchange.com/landing/r/digest?cta=question&id=19076

I'm trying to plot a function of the form $z(r,\theta)$ where $r \in [0, R]$ for a finite R, $\theta \in [0,2\pi[$, and z is the third coordinate, a function of the first two. I couldn't find anything ...
