California Pizza Kitchen

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.

Just went to a Generation GF meeting here and listened to the manager explain how they go above and beyond to ensure that their is no cross contamination between the meals. We will be coming back

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.

Celiac friendly?

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

good GF pizza. had a choice of 4

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!

Food is good. Servers are knowlegable. I've never had an issue eating here.

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.
