I used to eat here often. Last week, the server was confused as to what a validated gluten-free pizza was. She was "pretty sure"that means it was the cauliflower pizza"... They pizza was flagged "gluten free"but of course this is the first time I've been sick after going there. I won't be going back.

Called for carry out. Spoke with 2 staff members and a manager. All 3 were super rude and acted like we were a huge inconvenience, asking about gluten free options. Manager hung up on us without giving a total and pick up time. When we called back for the info., she was very annoyed that she had to look up our order. We cancelled and never ate there. Worst experience we have had since being GF.

They have gluten free certified pizzas. Their procedures are certified by The Gluten Intolerance group.

Not many GF options but what they have is tasty!

This is the only place I can go for safe GF pizza. They have a certified GF pizza menu which is amazing! They only have 4 options to choose from, but knowing they are 100% safe is good enough for me. I eat at many CPK's and they are all equally amazing. I always order the BBQ chicken pizza with added pineapple and mushrooms with no cheese (I also have a dairy allergy) and it is yummy every time! I highly recommend it to anyone with celiac or gluten intolerance!

Their gluten free pizza is pretty good, not the best I've ever had. In my experience, waiters have been very helpful about my gluten free needs! Kind of pricey though!

Less than thrilled. The pizzas are tiny and the gluten free crust is DRY, not much food for the money you spend.

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.
