We waited several months to test out CPK's 2nd attempt at a gluten free menu, to make sure others had a positive experience. Happy to say, after trying today, we were very impressed! They were confident and consistent in their responses to all of my questions...from the hosts, to the waitstaff to the servers...so it was clear to me that they have done a nice job of training. My celiac son had the pepperoni pizza and loved it! (See pic) Other than the 4 GF pizzas, there are a few salads that are GF, clearly marked with a green "O" on the menu. We felt very comfortable here, and so far my son feels no ill effects.

I had the GF pizza on the new menu and it's great! My server, Rocky was so helpful. She made sure that all my choices came from the certified gluten free section. I actually feel like a normal person here!

Although it sometimes takes a little longer to get your GF order, it is definitely worth it. We go pretty often and my daughter is always happy with her pizza. The managers there are wonderful and always check on you and bring the food when you order GF. Definitely worth a trip to the mall just for this restaurant.

They follow very strict procedures here - change gloves, prepare separately - everything. Four GF pizzas on the menu and they're all really good.

They really need to work on their GF offerings, salads and vegetables just don't cut it anymore.

While I appreciate the GF labels on the menu, they only apply to salads. Nothing else. As a restaurant that specializes in gourmet pizza, it's difficult as a diner to patronize when you can't have any of the good stuff. So disappointed!

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
