We got the gluten free cauliflower crust and made sure to let them know it was an allergy within hours I was sick. Too bad

I got sick! We went 3 or 4 times before, no issue. I only ordered the items that are gluten free, marked on menu and separate list. Salad and pizza. Kids liked pizza, not the best I've had. Salad was great. Sick before we left mall, clearly from there. Sad!

Celiac friendly?

No

CPK is always a good choice - yummy pizza and careful about cross contamination. However, I was disappointed to see that their corn chip "small plate" is no longer listed as GF. Also, at other CPK locations I've been to, the manager brings out my pizza, which has always been an extra reassurance - at this location, the waitress brought it out.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They burnt my first pizza and when try brought out a new one it was cold. Pizza crust is gridy

Excellent menu options! Food was delicious!

Went there today - first time in a long time that a restaurant did not make me feel like a pain in the neck. Very accommodating. Took my allergy seriously. Quite knowledgable about cross contamination. Cautious. Gf pizza was actually really good!!

Screwed up the order 2 times for person with food allergies at our table .... Used to ❤ This place but haven't been back since!

I love CPK and I was so excited to try their new pizza. I was not disappointed! It was delicious and Celiac friendly!

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
