California Pizza Kitchen

Staff is very friendly and helpful when you ask for gluten free crust. California Pizza Kitchen’s gluten free crust is gluten free certified. The crust is pretty great, and they have a wide range of toppings. There is a somewhat separate kitchen space for the gluten free pizzas, however I cannot say it’s 100% celiac safe.

The gluten free menu was kind of lacking, only having pizza options and like a grilled chicken option plus salads, but I just got a plain pie. Was nice because a manager has to oversee and cook the entire gluten free meal and she came out with the pizza letting me know that. My only problem was that it was overpriced ($16 for a small cheese pizza) but I guess that’s expected in the middle of Los Angeles.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Had the margarita pizza on cauliflower crust, it was so good! They asked if it was an allergy too! My pizza was around $17.99 and then +$2.50 for the cauliflower crust. Very affordable if you share!

Normally I would not eat here, but I was desperate. I have eaten the brand’s frozen cauliflower crusts at home before without issue.

I ordered online and specified I had celiac - gluten issue. Got the sausage mushroom pepperoni cauliflower crust pizza before a flight that was leaving soon. Did not get sick! Nothing is labeled on the menu, I went solely based on knowledge from the frozen pizzas and it worked out.

They have cauliflower crust for pizzas. Can’t confirm if they took precautions to cook in separate oven, or if other ingredients are GF as well.

It seems as though their kitchen has started slipping. I was gluttened last night after going to this location for over two years. My meal came out for the first time without a gluten free marker. Be very careful!
