Review of California Pizza Kitchen

The care that the staff took when it came to making sure that my meals would be gluten free was amazing. Unfortunately, although I am not sure if what the waiter told me is true, customization of the pizzas is impossible. While my main concern as a celiac is to stay away from gluten, I am also a vegetarian, and I was disappointed that I would have had to stick to a plain margherita pizza as the only vegetarian option. This is the despite the fact that the toppings I wanted to add were also included in the gluten free salads. My guess is that the gluten free pizzas are prepared ahead of time. I ended up ordering a Italian chopped salad, without the meat, with blue cheese dressing. The salad tasted nice and I appreciate that I did not have to worry about cross-contamination. However, salads are so easy to get that I would not have to go to a pizza place for them. Overall, a very good experience but there is definitely room for improvement. Gluten free desserts would be great.

Celiac friendly?

Yes
