We ordered a pizza to go and the server was very knowledgeable about Celiac's and cross contamination.

I had a surprisingly good GF pizza and salad lunch here with coworkers. I was skeptical that it would be both safe and tasty, but was pleasantly surprised. I would eat here again.

Not all wait staff are up to speed on the company policies so if you don't see them follow protocol (i.e. your pizza isn't brought out by a manager) DO NOT EAT IT! I told my waiter I needed a certified pizza, they confirmed but didn't follow protocol. I was sick before I had finished my 2nd slice. Kitchen manager was mortified but the damage was done. I was newer to CPK so I didn't fully understand the certified GF pizza protocol. I asked the right questions but the waiter didn't make the right moves.

I had a pretty positive experience here! Really tasty pizza, although it’s pretty expensive. You must ask for the gluten free menu. Staff seemed knowledgeable.

Very good service. Ask for the GF menu and they bring you a menu of the pizzas that are made in their dedicated kitchen. I ordered the Original BBQ Chicken Pizza. The server came out to let us know that the pizza got a little too crispy so they were making us a brand new pizza. When the pizza came out it was personally delivered by the manager on duty. It had the right amount of crispyness and tasted food. My mom and I ate the whole pizza and she's not GF!

My husband and I were excited to go here tonight after seeing that they now offer gluten free pizza and are certified. The gluten free menu consists of pizza only, although their regular menu shows that they have a couple of gluten free salads. When my husband ordered a gluten free pizza they told him that the manager oversees all orders by those with gluten allergies, which we were happy to hear. About five minutes later, the server came back to notify us that they had looked in all the freezers, and were out of gluten free crusts. That left my husband with no options at all, considering the only thing on the gluten free menu is pizza! So we had to cancel my order as well and leave. I'm really disappointed.

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.
