California Pizza Kitchen

My very sensitive celiac daughter has always had a great experience with CPK in any location. As a chain, they seem to have figured out how to keep the GF pizzas separate and safe. No problems at the Kailua location or any others we’ve tried.

Not sure why so many people are saying they have a separate GF menu. When we went last weekend and asked for one they didn’t have one. The GF options were listed on the menu and those options were honestly lacking. There are only 5 pizza options that you can order that are GF; ONLY 5!!!!! These are NOT fresh pizzas, if they where they could easily make any pizza option a GF one. I ordered the GF Margarita Pizza, and honestly it lacked flavor, the crust was a bit burned, and it overall didn’t look like a fresh Margarita Pizza.

I went to give them a chance and I did that a chance, as in one singular time because I will not be going back. As expensive as GF items are, I will invest my money elsewhere.

Loved the certified gf pizza menu!

I have Celiac and had a pizza it was yummy and had no reaction so that's a plus!! the waiter was nice about the allergy.

The pizza was great. Me and my husband both have celiac disease and we were happy about the reviews. Once we got the everyone knew about the gluten free menu, but as we part we start both feeling bad as if we had ingested something with gluten. We were very sorry about that.

Celiac friendly?

No

My daughter loved the pizza and did not get sick.

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.
