Both of my kids have celiac disease. We order from CPK often, and they have never had a problem.

I love California Pizza kitchen and have been going here since I was kid! I was recently diagnosed with Celiac and wanted to try their gluten-free pizza. Very kind experience and the manager delivered my pizza (traditional cheese), told me every precaution (changed their gloves twice while making) and even had my pizza separated. He said he could mot guarantee cross contamination and unfortunately, he was right. I got sick after eating and upset I can no longer eat at my one of my favorite pizza establishments. It was my fault risking it at a PIZZA place but also felt confident that since I was okay at Olive Garden, I would be okay here too. If you are not as sensitive as me, go ahead and enjoy! Amazing food!

My sister and I shared two of their certified GF pizzas. Both were delivered by a manager who explained their GF procedures. The two we had were very tasty. Only 4 options that are certified GF, but if you aren't celiac they can make any other pizza with the GF crust.

Their explanation seems like a cop-out---all they offer is salads -- even a gf pasta option wouldn't be that difficult -- CPK just doesn't want to be bothered with it. My family and I now make other - and better- pizza choices.

Eaten here 2x and have not gotten sick. The crust does taste gluten free (find me a gluten free crust that doesn't taste gluten free), but it's what's on top of the crust that is the real deal.

Impressed that you could ask for their certified GF pizzas on the kids menu. Our coeliac daughter was very happy with her cheese pizza which came out with a GF flag by a differed server with gloves on. No ill effects. It has been very hard finding safe and appealing choices for her on our travels in America so definitely a happy customer.

It’s always a risk at pizza places that aren’t dedicated GF, but we felt assured that the staff takes good precautions to avoid cross contamination here. And the pizza was very tasty.
