They have a dedicated GF pizza menu with about five pizza choices that are a part of the Safe Spot GF program. You can order other pizzas, that are not part of the Safe Spot program, and they will cook on a GF crust, but they will not cook it per the Safe Spot program protocol. Staff were very knowledgeable about GF protocols.

They are always 100% safe with the pizza and you will not get sick. Cheese pizza is good.

I have celiac. I ordered my all-time favorite CPK pizza, BBQ chicken, and enjoyed every bite. They knew exactly what they were doing and I felt fine after my meal.

They have 6 gluten-free pizza options that they told me were certified gluten-free - I had the Margherita and it was absolutely delicious! I am celiac and had no bad reaction after eating the pizza.

The pizza was amazing!!! They have 5 special gluten-free pizzas and some items on their regular menu with GF so it's easy to determine what you can eat! The staff was great and informed and so was the manager. Great gluten-free service! Would totally recommend coming to this location... I'll definitely be going back!

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
