although menu indicates certain items can be made gluten free further discussion with staff indicates no they are/can not...you can have lettuce and mustard vinaigrette safely here. Positive note is an honest manager keeps people from getting sick but menu is misrepresentation of what's truly available gluten free

They have no idea what being gluten free is about. Salads are marked GF on menu. but the dressings are not GF. I have received differing information each time I have gone there. Tonight the waiter said they don't offer any GF dressings, and he said he double checked and offered me fat free options. ugh.

Gluten Free pizza crust option is back after it was off their menu for a while. BBQ Chicken and MuPeSa are the GF pizza options along with Pepperoni and Cheese. GF menu items all marked. Pizza was great-- thin crust. Will def. be back.

The waiter asked if I was celiac or intolerant to ensure of no cross contamination. CPK has switched to rice flour in all their ovens and for prep even for non gluten free pizzas. The new gluten free crust is crunchy and taste great. They have gluten free beer too. WWW.gfmomcertified.com

I didn't get sick from their stuff (as their note above suggests contamination issues) but it tasted horrible! I hope if they do start to serve it again that they consider just buying crusts from still riding or udi's because the one I got from them was really, really, awful.

Ordered a GF pizza through Uber eats, but since I couldn’t leave a note that I had celiac, I called to confirm that the order would be taken with care, and the manager on the phone assured me it would be, they wrote allergy on the order and it had a GF sticker on the box.

Great service and delish pizza!

The food is good and the staff was very informed. There isn’t dedicated kitchen space but our celiac family members did not get exposed to gluten
