California Pizza Kitchen

Separate GF menu, dedicated kitchen space for celiac. Their GF pizza is delicious!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I had the Bahn Mi bowl. It was delicious and the server told me before and after he brought the food that the cooks wore gloves and made sure everything was clean. I did not get sick. There are cauliflower pizza crusts but I cannot have dairy. There are several other gluten free options.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Wait staff were knowledgeable of gluten free and cross contamination. Gluten free food was cooked in a separate part of the kitchen. My 9 year old was able to have a kids gluten free cheese pizza. I had the Margherita pizza and iced tea. All was yummy and had no issues later.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great pizza! Really hit the spot after a long day of exploring Chicago and shopping!

Quick and super yummy. Couldn't tell the crust was gluten free.

New gluten free pizzas are good! Crispy, thin crust and a few options. I liked it!

The manager Mike was fabulous. He explained to me in detail that they prep separately, use a clean pizza cutter, and place an aluminum cover over the pizza in the oven to prevent cross contamination. They have gluten free certified pizzas (triangles on menu). Mike was very patient and totally understood the importance.

The servers, cook, and hostess went above and beyond to try to help me find a safe way to eat here! I was hungry and desperate. They were not very knowledgeable about GF options or celiac disease, but after some back and forth and lots of checking with the cook, they made me a cheese pizza on cauliflower crust. Precautions taken: hand washing, changed gloves, made my pizza on a separate pan so it never touched the prep surfaces. They also put down some parchment paper in the oven underneath my pizza since the oven often gets flour on it from other pizzas. Not the most ideal meal for safety, but I was starving and they were willing to listen and try to help which I appreciated!

Very good salads and very good GF pizza. Thin crust of course, but texture was great. We got the half size salads BTW. The full size are huge.

Solid choice. No gluten issues. My food came out separate and marked. I have eaten at different locations so I was not worried about cross contamination but some people may be concerned
