California Pizza Kitchen

Celiac friendly?

Yes

After reviews on this app and speaking to staff for ourselves, we decided to give CPK a try. Ordered the Gluten-free BBQ Chicken pizza and were very pleased that our Nima tester gave us a smile. They have a separate prep area and we felt confident in their knowledge of cross-contamination. Alex (their trainer) and Sam (manager) were absolutely amazing in both explaining their procedures and overseeing our pizza prep. Ate there a 2nd time. Nima tested gluten. We had added pineapple and think that could have been the cause. Sam was appalled and bent over backwards to reassure and personally take care of the 2nd pizza (we opted for no pineapple that time). That one tested safe. Nice to share this app with Sam. I feel like she truly cared about Celiac safety.

Celiac friendly?

Can't complain! Pizza was quite delicious and I didn't get sick. Service was decent. They're part of the gluten free certification program which is cool.

Nice pizza. Friendly people, there is a (little) dedicated glutenfree menu. The pizza came with a nice glutenfree decorative banner

Gluten free pizza crust is amazing! Has a gluten free menu

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The guy made sure the kitchen knew about my celiac. The service itself was mediocre.

It’s a beautiful location, with a nice ambience. The staff was very helpful with their dedicated gluten-free menu. They were very specific about what we could substitute and what we could night. We had the pepperoni mushroom sausage pizza. We also had a Waldorf salad. Both were delicious!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Staff was very friendly and extremely knowledgeable! They have a separate prep area where they make the GF pizzas. I had their “Mushroom/Pepperoni/Sausage” pizza, and they were accommodating enough to swap the mushrooms for GF Bacon... other toppings can be added however are not kept in the GF area so there is risk of CC. The pizza’s are about 9 inches.

Best gluten free bbq chicken pizza. Always super knowledgeable and friendly

Celiac friendly?

Yes

We've eaten at other restaurants from this chain and the wait staff has always been really good. Tonight we asked out waitress about the certified gluten free pizza and she was very snooty telling us that we only had 4 to choose from and nothing else- which was fine. Then she brought bread and oil and a salad full of croutons 😣 Luckily, the pizza was prepared with the care it required. So service was disappointing but pizza was great. Just gotta be on your toes.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

As most have said, limited menu but food was good. I had the BBQ chicken pizza and it was delicious! The service was great as well!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

As others have said, gluten free menu is very limited with other 4 pizzas. There are a few gluten free options on the main menu also. Had the pepperoni sausage pizza which was excellent. Lovely location also with outdoor seating. Would recommend a visit.

Delicious salad and pizza and I didn't get sick!

Celiac friendly?

Great lunch, limited GF choice with 4 pizzas but my daughter said her pizza was 10/10 on taste. The service was impeccable the assistant manager was so welcoming. They brought a separate plate of chips and dip for my daughter unprompted. Very aware and will definitely return to this one or another in the chain.

nice restaurant in the park area. had a salad and pizza and didn't get sick.

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.

It’s celiac friendly

Great Food. Wonderful servers. But they got my pizza wrong 4 times to my daughter and they gave me Gluten

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Celiac safe for only their Certified Gluten Free pizzas. There are five of them. They are pretty good and I’m happy to have an option.

They have a cauliflower crust for all pizzas and salads that are GF. I got a pizza and cobb salad. Easy to order and was close to restaurant taste! 🤙🏼

Celiac friendly?

Yes

We ordered the bbq chicken pizza and the pepperoni for our party. The manager came over to tell us they are cooked in a separate part of the kitchen to ensure no cross contamination.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The GF pizza is so good I made the waitress double check that they didn’t send out the wheat based crust by accident! 4-5 pizza options, wish they had a GF salad option; hopefully that is coming. Staff is knowledgeable and always treat Celiac as serious.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Their training is impeccable. Such a relief to be able to eat a meal out with friends and not feel stressed about it. I love that they label “made without gluten containing ingredients” differently from their celiac safe choices (which is a small but good selection of cauliflower crust pizzas.) All restaurants should follow their excellent model!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I asked the server for an allergy menu and he immediately asked if it was celiac because they have a separate celiac menu that is made in a specific area of the kitchen than just a “gluten free” menu item is. Highly recommend

i’ve eaten this pizza several times without a reaction (at the Ashford-Dunwoody location in Atlanta). They have a separate pizza station for preparing GF pizza. It goes in the same oven as other pizza but in its own pan.. The thing that worries me the most is when they are preparing at the gluten-free station, their bellies are covered with flour for making the regular pizzas. But again I haven’t gotten sick from this location.

I forgotten what a real pizza taste like, but I love the gluten-free pizza from CPK. The only pizza in Atlanta where I like the sausage. Note the frozen version of the sausage pepperoni and mushroom from the store, is nowhere close to the pizza they make at the restaurant.

Celiac friendly?

Definitely celiac friendly. The problem was the pizza was not good. Thin burnt crust very little sauce al dried up.

Celiac friendly?

Staff was very kind and brought out manager to assure pizza would be gluten free! The prepped it in a separate area and there was 0 cross contamination. I love it and would go back in a heart beat!

Designated GF items on the menu. Gluten-free cauliflower crust pizza delicious! Staff very helpful and well informed about gluten-free.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great experience at CPK. Gluten free pizza was brought out by manager and was delish!

Celiac friendly?

No

At least they are very honest about heavy cross-contamination. I am non-celiac wheat allergy and can tolerate cross-contamination usually, but I still got sick from eating their cauliflower crust pizza. Stay away.

Another great pizza here! Don't stray much from the food or pizzas shown on the separate gf menu but you can get a good, safe meal here.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Ordered the barbecue chicken pizza and it was so good! Pizzas are certified gluten free and the manager brought my pizza out specifically for me. I will be back

Celiac friendly?

No

We decided to eat here as we needed a quick dinner option and they had tables open. The menu says they are able to accommodate allergies, however our server was not knowledgeable about celiac and was trying to offer me salads that didn’t even have a gluten free symbol by them. My husband got up and asked for a manager while the server was still talking to me because she was ignoring him when he tried to talk. The manager was very helpful and accommodating. She offered for my pizza to be cooked on a pan so that it wasn’t touching the oven surface. She also recommended that I only get cheese or a couple ingredients to minimize risk of contamination. So although there weren’t many options for me, she was transparent about what they could provide and I ended up not getting sick. Would not recommend this location for celiacs.

Service was bad, pizzas arrived burned. Many other options here. Skip the drama...

My husband has celiac. CPK went out of their way to make sure his food was safe and were very attentive. Their gf pizzas are certified gluten free.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Excellent!!!!! I was there with my mom and my brother (the 3 of us are Celiac) and OMG it was excellent! The taste is amazing, they have special care for the gluten free pizzas. And the best thing is that its certified by GiG!

Staff knows how to prepare GF without issue. They were very careful (I sat at the bar and watched them make our food). We eat here a couple/few times when we are in Anaheim.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Excellent staff knowledge. Not for this venue as they have full understanding but in general Be sure to specify when you go anywhere to eat that you are a medically diagnosed coeliac and not just gluten friendly which indicates life choice. Traveling around USA has proven more challenging than ever anticipated. We will be eating here as good cross section on menu available. Makes travelling life so much easier. Thank you

I have eaten at the foxwoods, Ct location tons of times, not alot of options, but the pizza is always amazing !! Prices not bad either, never had any issues.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I had a deliciou gluten free pizza.

Celiac friendly?

Ingredients made in separate area- very knowledgeable staff- no issues and pizza is good!

Celiac friendly?

The GF pizza did not make me sick. I sat at a booth that overlooked the kitchen so I was able to watch my dinner being made and I was happy about the process to reduce cross contamination. Not dedicated GF but a pretty good option. Per the website “CERTIFIED GLUTEN-FREE Pizzas SERVED ON OUR CAULIFLOWER CRUST These gluten-free pizzas are prepared using the strict procedures approved by The Gluten Intolerance Group (GIG), using a certified gluten-free crust and other ingredients verified by our suppliers as gluten-free. Please inform a manager of any allergies or special dietary needs (e.g. gluten intolerance) and consult our Allergen & Vegetarian/Vegan Menu Guide”

Celiac friendly?

I love eating here because I feel safe and the gf pizza is amazing! They are very careful to cook everything separately, and it always come with a gf stick in it for reassurance.

Yes

Perfect! Great service great pizza and most importantly no issues

Celiac friendly?

No

My kid was so excited to try this place and adored their cauliflower crust—however even after asking them to ensure it’s gluten free, they did not use their dedicated space to make his. Apparently you have to be very explicit and tell them to make sure they use their allergy protocols. Just saying gluten free isn’t enough for them to do so. He was very ill after.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Ordered two gluten free pizzas from here and made sure to note it was for someone with Celiac. I felt great after eating them and didn’t have any symptoms. It’s mediocre pizza, but such a convenient option! I’m grateful! They stepped up their game to be Celiac safe!

This is my go to pizza place! The staff are very knowledgeable. They have many gluten free pizzas that are all delicious! I haven’t gotten sick once!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

California Pizza Kitchen is Certified Gluten. Their pizza is on a Cauliflower crust and it is cooked in a designated area to ensure there is no cross-contamination. The gluten free menu has a few gluten free options and the pizza is delicious.

Visited the Wellington location and was pleasantly surprised with their gluten free options. I called ahead and verifed they had certified gluten free pizza available and they did. When we arrived I informed our server of our daughter's celiac diagnosis and felt comfortable that they were using proper procedures when handling her pizza. Food arrived and was labeled with a little pick that said gluten free. We even ordered 2 take and bakes that were certified gluten free also! My daughter was thrilled and I was grateful for such a smooth, safe dining experience. We will definitely visit this location again!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Had a delicious bbq chicken pizza and didn’t get sick. They have a very strict set of gf procedures for their pizza

Celiac friendly?

Yes

We ate here last night because of the certified gluten free pizza options. The waitress we had knew exactly what celiac was and even explained how my food would be prepared safely. I am very sensitive and didn’t have a reaction! My pizza was very good and my family liked theirs as well. I would definitely eat here again when I’m back in the area!

All of their certified gluten free meals contain dairy, so they can't accommodate gluten free and dairy free. There was a salad that would work if you're not concerned about cross contact with gluten, but it wouldn't work for dairy free celiacs.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Excellent gluten-free protocols and certified by GIG. The crust is very good although very thin, like a flatbread. It's made with cauliflower but don't let that deter you - I personally love cauliflower but thought it didn't taste like cauliflower at all.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

What a pleasant surprise to discover that CPK has (very good) gluten free pizza and it’s certified. The manager brought out my pizza with gloves on and it had a pick designating it as gluten free. He also brought out my food separate from my boyfriends, just to make sure there was no chance of contamination. They clearly have a good process and train the staff well!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I just went there today, and they have a certified gluten-free menu. It has five pizzas on it. They prepare them in a very safe way to prevent cross-contamination. There are a lot of “no gluten ingredients” items on the menu, but they are not guaranteed gluten-free. The pizza is made with cauliflower crust, but you would never guess. It is absolutely delicious! I feel completely fine after eating it. The manager was quite knowledgeable about gluten as well.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Certified GF kitchen, very knowledgeable wait staff, every server I’ve spoken to there can tell you the exact procedure for keeping their food safe. Very impressed.

I visited here this weekend, I am celiac and also have an intolerance to corn. I ordered the cedar planked salmon, the side it came with had corn so I subbed that out for a different side. The wait staff was very careful about my allergy. When the first side I picked didn’t work out due to a threat of cross-contamination, the manager came to the table to explain the issue with me and worked with me to pick a different, safer side. I was very impressed with their carefulness, it put my mind at ease and i had no reaction to the food I ate. The salmon was delicious:) I highly recommend.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They said the gluten free pizzas had their own space, they were familiar with needing separate utensils for cutting etc. I felt confident they would be careful. They are cauliflower crust, I had the pepperoni, sausage, mushroom pizza and it was very good.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

knowledgeable staff with thorough kitchen procedures. felt very safe eating here and the pizzas were delicious!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I ordered online so I got a chance to specify my strict gf diet. Had the gf crust bbq chicken and though the pizza was just okay, I had no symptoms after eating.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The classic bbq chicken pizza was good. CPK only has GF cauliflower crust, but it’s thin, crispy and delicious. I’ve never had any issues at this location. They handle GF orders very seriously. Also, one pizza is the perfect size to split if you’re on a date.
