Good experience! I ordered the validated GF pizza. The waitress seemed new and she wasn’t sure what I was talking about but she spoke with the staff and they made my pizza separately and safely! It was great!

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.

I used to eat here often. Last week, the server was confused as to what a validated gluten-free pizza was. She was "pretty sure"that means it was the cauliflower pizza"... They pizza was flagged "gluten free"but of course this is the first time I've been sick after going there. I won't be going back.

Called for carry out. Spoke with 2 staff members and a manager. All 3 were super rude and acted like we were a huge inconvenience, asking about gluten free options. Manager hung up on us without giving a total and pick up time. When we called back for the info., she was very annoyed that she had to look up our order. We cancelled and never ate there. Worst experience we have had since being GF.

They have gluten free certified pizzas. Their procedures are certified by The Gluten Intolerance group.

Not many GF options but what they have is tasty!

This is the only place I can go for safe GF pizza. They have a certified GF pizza menu which is amazing! They only have 4 options to choose from, but knowing they are 100% safe is good enough for me. I eat at many CPK's and they are all equally amazing. I always order the BBQ chicken pizza with added pineapple and mushrooms with no cheese (I also have a dairy allergy) and it is yummy every time! I highly recommend it to anyone with celiac or gluten intolerance!

Their gluten free pizza is pretty good, not the best I've ever had. In my experience, waiters have been very helpful about my gluten free needs! Kind of pricey though!

The pizza was ok, I have had much better gluten free pizza and this place is very pricey!

Less than thrilled. The pizzas are tiny and the gluten free crust is DRY, not much food for the money you spend.

Excellent GF service! They have 4 GF pizzas that are Celiac friendly. The crust is delicious.

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.
