Gluten free options are shown on the menu. There are only a few items that can be made certified gluten free, but others that are listed showing they make the dishes with gluten free ingredients. One thing I learned this week is that many restaurants make their ranch dressing. When they do, they have not been gluten free. So bring your own ranch if you want a cobbler salad or some ranch to dip your certified gluten free pizza in. I had the mushroom, pepperoni, and sausage certified gluten free pizza and thought it was delicious. I also had some of my husband’s Cobb salad before dressing and it was very good. I did not feel sick or bloated after the meal.

Pizza is just okay - always burnt around the entire outside. I’ve been told the Caesar salad dressing isn’t gluten free which is a bummer!

Great pizza! Stick to their GIG certified pizza menu. They have all the right protocols in place to prevent cross contamination.

I eat here about 1x a week and if you stick to their small menu, you'll never get sick. :)

They have a certified gluten free menu which includes about 5 different pizzas. Decent size and the taste was great! No reactions.

Stick with the salads (which are generous and generally quite good) and you should be 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.
