I got sick immediately after eatting here.
Handful of certified GF pizzas can be prepared in a separate area (other menu items are likely cross contaminated). GF BBQ chicken pizza was good and I didn’t get sick
The staff was super knowledgeable about gluten free foods and the preparation needed to ensure no cross contamination. Pizza was great!

Great pizza! Staff was knowledgeable about the food that is gluten free.
Tried to order gluten free meals at two different locations on Oahu, and both restaurants claimed that they “could not guarantee” the food would not be contaminated with gluten. Essentially they said that they are NOT gluten free.
The Ala Moana location is terrible w/ accommodating gluten free. They suggested to not even eat anything there because cross contamination is so high. The other location at the International Market area was fantastic with precautions!
Ordered takeout from Kahala Mall CPK, told them that I my daughter was celiac and they immediately transferred me to a manager to make sure that her needs were met. Her pizza was completely safe and was even packed in a totally separate bag. She had a good pizza with no problems.
We went to CPK at Ala Moana Centre today and were really impressed. They have a certified GF menu, ask if it’s a preference or an allergy, and have a manager bring out any allergy orders while wearing gloves. The pizza was good and a good size. Highly recommend.
Staff were knowledgeable. Separate pizza menu with 4 gf choices. We had bbq chicken pizza and a pepperoni pizza. Both yum. We also ordered a salad off the normal menu which was gf by ingredient. No reactions. Would definitely go back
Tried the pizza a few times and the crust is never fully cooked. I gave up.
Crust tasted like cardboard. We had to send it back because it wasn't cooked in the middle. Three stars because we didn't get sick, but I've definitely had better pizza.
I've always loved CPK, and I know the GF crust is not exactly like their regular or even thin crust, but I like it. Pizza crust is a personal thing, so I suggest you try it regardless what any review says. The dishes marked as GF are prepared in a separate area (be sure to tell them you want this). Logistically, they have to limit the items in this area, and I understand that. We are a minority. But my favorite pizzas and salads are all on the list, so I am a happy camper. Now they just need a GF dessert, and it'll be perfect.
yes, they have a gf menu consisting of a few pizzas, but the crust is horrible. when it came to the table, it tasted raw. even after I took it home and reheated it for 30 mins, it still tasted horrible. the rest of their gf items are not guaranteed to be gf despite being listed as gf on the menu.

Safety protocols are great. I ordered the original cal bbq with bacon and pineapple and it was fantastic. Service was ok.
I know the community feels the same as I do that being able to eat a pizza that tastes amazing and you know is safe is such a rare and amazing thing. It is why we always eat at CPK when we travel somewhere that has one. They only have about 4 pizzas that are validated gf but those are made in a separate dedicated area. My bbq chicken pizza came out marked gf, was delicious and did not give me any issues. I’ve never had any issues with the validated pizzas at any CPK and is one of the only places I feel like I can truly eat safely.
Great experience, server was able to answer all our questions, manager brought out the GF pizzas and said they had been prepared in a separate space. My daughter ordered a cheese and pepperoni pizza and ate the whole thing!
The pizza came out with Gluten Free picks. When I called ahead they said they prepare the pizza in a separate area and the pizzas are cooked on separate aluminum tins. However they are cooked in the same oven but off to a designated side. Neither of my kids got sick after eating here.
While there were not many options for dedicated gluten free, my pizza which was one of the options, was good.
