Cpk has a dedicated menu of a couple different pizzas that can be made to be gluten free with a cauliflower crust and in a separate kitchen space dedicated to gluten free prep. Staff was knowledgeable and upfront about what options were safe for someone with celiacs. Never had a bad experience at this location.

Items that are GF are labeled on the menu. I’ve eaten here many times and have done well. If you dine in, you can buy a take and bake pizza to go for $8 including a couple of GF certified choices. The box came with a sticker saying certified GF. Love that!

Stopped here on the way to the Bowers Museum. Needed gluten free and, while there are only 4 choices, they are guaranteed to be safe. I had the GF pepperoni, it was great, and I felt fine. They were definitely understaffed so it took far longer than expected for lunch on a Thursday.

Certified GF pizzas, but a very limited menu. 4 pizzas can be made GF without cross contamination. There are a few salads and a salmon dish, but they can't guarantee it won't be CCed.

Very careful and well trained. Their gf pizzas are made in an entirely separate area. I used to get sick eating here but they've redone their training and are great now!

Went here tonight and the chicken pizza was the best I have had since Coeliacs disease 5 years ago. Thin crispy base, yum. Waiter was knowledgeable and pizza came out with a gf flag on it. Wish I had a place like this in Australia.

This was my first time eating at CPK since my Celiac diagnosis. I was pleased to find a few pizzas with the blue triangle logo, which means the preparation process is validated by the GIG (Gluten Intolerance Group). I ordered the gf bbq chicken pizza, and it came with a gluten free flag in it. It was a thin crust and was unfortunately very burnt (they were extremely busy that night), but I felt fine after eating it and enjoyed the opportunity to eat a fresh pizza for once!
