I had a surprisingly good GF pizza and salad lunch here with coworkers. I was skeptical that it would be both safe and tasty, but was pleasantly surprised. I would eat here again.

Not all wait staff are up to speed on the company policies so if you don't see them follow protocol (i.e. your pizza isn't brought out by a manager) DO NOT EAT IT! I told my waiter I needed a certified pizza, they confirmed but didn't follow protocol. I was sick before I had finished my 2nd slice. Kitchen manager was mortified but the damage was done. I was newer to CPK so I didn't fully understand the certified GF pizza protocol. I asked the right questions but the waiter didn't make the right moves.

I had a pretty positive experience here! Really tasty pizza, although it’s pretty expensive. You must ask for the gluten free menu. Staff seemed knowledgeable.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I have eaten here many times without a problem. Pizza is great and staff is knowledgeable. Wish they had gluten free bread, though

good pizza shop. gluten free crusts available. they normally skimp on toppings so it's worth 2$ extra to get a normally topped pizza. recommend the bbq chicken pizza. second visit with still no problems

Very good service. Ask for the GF menu and they bring you a menu of the pizzas that are made in their dedicated kitchen. I ordered the Original BBQ Chicken Pizza. The server came out to let us know that the pizza got a little too crispy so they were making us a brand new pizza. When the pizza came out it was personally delivered by the manager on duty. It had the right amount of crispyness and tasted food. My mom and I ate the whole pizza and she's not GF!

Delicious and safe gluten-free pizza - so glad they reintroduced it on their menu!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

My husband and I were excited to go here tonight after seeing that they now offer gluten free pizza and are certified. The gluten free menu consists of pizza only, although their regular menu shows that they have a couple of gluten free salads. When my husband ordered a gluten free pizza they told him that the manager oversees all orders by those with gluten allergies, which we were happy to hear. About five minutes later, the server came back to notify us that they had looked in all the freezers, and were out of gluten free crusts. That left my husband with no options at all, considering the only thing on the gluten free menu is pizza! So we had to cancel my order as well and leave. I'm really disappointed.

Celiac friendly?

No

They have 5 pizza options guaranteed to be celiac safe and they’re so tasty!

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
