I ordered the gluten free pizza and it was, in fact, gluten free. I did not have any digestive issues. They are very aware of gluten and cross contamination. I will definitely go back.

Update effective Fall 2018: they got rid of the good GF crust and the new allegedly GF cauliflower crust makes me sick 100% of the time. Off the safe list. Original review: Never a problem and love the GF crust!

Yummy, yummy, yummy! The GM brought out my pizza with gloves on and informed me that all of the procedures were followed. I got the barbecue chicken and was plenty for me and my brother to share. I also got a wedge salad that said it had gluten free ingredients but couldn't be 100% guaranteed however I didn't get sick. Very pleased with the experience and will be returning

Extremely knowledgable staff and great food. The only thing that could be improved is that it would be great if there were more vegetarian options than the Margherita pizza, as items can be removed from the pizzas but not added, in order to adhere to the gluten free guidelines. It's great to be able to eat out without worries.

The review below me needs to be revised because the California Pizza Kitchen has made a complete 360!!! They have about 5 CERTIFIED gluten free pizzas. I had the margarita and it was the best pizza I ever had!! It was crispy and chewy and AMAZING. Go try it for yourself! Our waiter was friendly and so knowledgable. Also the regular menu had a gf next to any gluten free items. I had a salad as well. Many options. Best dining experience I've had in a long long time!

Eaten here 2x and have not gotten sick. The crust does taste gluten free (find me a gluten free crust that doesn't taste gluten free), but it's what's on top of the crust that is the real deal.

Impressed that you could ask for their certified GF pizzas on the kids menu. Our coeliac daughter was very happy with her cheese pizza which came out with a GF flag by a differed server with gloves on. No ill effects. It has been very hard finding safe and appealing choices for her on our travels in America so definitely a happy customer.

It’s always a risk at pizza places that aren’t dedicated GF, but we felt assured that the staff takes good precautions to avoid cross contamination here. And the pizza was very tasty.
