California Pizza Kitchen

Been here many times. Have gotten their gluten free pizza I think it tastes really good. Most likely it has been cross contaminated at this location. However I have not had a reaction.

I tried the gluten-free pizza, and their crust was the worst gluten-free crust I've ever eaten! It had the consistency of a soggy cracker. I ended up just eating the toppings off of the top. I was very disappointed because I enjoyed California Pizza Kitchen before I was diagnosed with Celiacs.

While their options for celiacs are limited, they are good. Their server was able to explain how they prepped the food separately and asked to understand more about the disease, as she said an increasing number of people needing GF options are coming into the restaurant.

We have eaten here multiple times, and always had a great meal and no issues. The caramelized peach salad is one of our favorites, must try!

Limited options, but the few options are yummy.

They have 5 pizza options guaranteed to be celiac safe and they’re so tasty!

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.

The servers, cook, and hostess went above and beyond to try to help me find a safe way to eat here! I was hungry and desperate. They were not very knowledgeable about GF options or celiac disease, but after some back and forth and lots of checking with the cook, they made me a cheese pizza on cauliflower crust. Precautions taken: hand washing, changed gloves, made my pizza on a separate pan so it never touched the prep surfaces. They also put down some parchment paper in the oven underneath my pizza since the oven often gets flour on it from other pizzas. Not the most ideal meal for safety, but I was starving and they were willing to listen and try to help which I appreciated!

Very good salads and very good GF pizza. Thin crust of course, but texture was great. We got the half size salads BTW. The full size are huge.

Solid choice. No gluten issues. My food came out separate and marked. I have eaten at different locations so I was not worried about cross contamination but some people may be concerned
