California Pizza Kitchen

The Long Beach Marina CPK no longer has the certified gluten free stamp of approval on there menus anymore. They no longer had gluten-free pizza options. They told me they can make any pizza using a cauliflower crust. I asked if they have a separate cooking space for the pizza and they said no. We had to leave because my trust in the preparation is no longer with the establishment.

Has a very safe option with their pizza as they make them separately. Their salads are nice but have a risk of cross contamination

They changed their menu and definitely changed/sacrificed the quality and freshness of their ingredients.

Fantastic service and hubby LOVED the gluten-free pizza. Tasted GREAT! We will definitely return as often as possible!!!

There is a separate gluten free pizza menu. When I picked up my order they confirmed two times that my pizza was gluten free and the box is marked as well. I didn’t have any issues and I’m pretty sensitive to CC.

The smallest CPK I have seen. Parking is a challenge though we found a space at the other side of the parking lot. Not very busy at 6 pm on a Monday. Both inside and outside seating options. Seated right away and served immediately. Waiter knew about the gluten free options and I had the peperoni pizza. It tasted great and I did not get sick. Very convenient location after watching tapings at the Sony Studios down the road.
