California Pizza Kitchen

My very sensitive celiac daughter has always had a great experience with CPK in any location. As a chain, they seem to have figured out how to keep the GF pizzas separate and safe. No problems at the Kailua location or any others we’ve tried.

Not sure why so many people are saying they have a separate GF menu. When we went last weekend and asked for one they didn’t have one. The GF options were listed on the menu and those options were honestly lacking. There are only 5 pizza options that you can order that are GF; ONLY 5!!!!! These are NOT fresh pizzas, if they where they could easily make any pizza option a GF one. I ordered the GF Margarita Pizza, and honestly it lacked flavor, the crust was a bit burned, and it overall didn’t look like a fresh Margarita Pizza.

I went to give them a chance and I did that a chance, as in one singular time because I will not be going back. As expensive as GF items are, I will invest my money elsewhere.

Celiac friendly?

Loved the certified gf pizza menu!

I have Celiac and had a pizza it was yummy and had no reaction so that's a plus!! the waiter was nice about the allergy.

The pizza was great. Me and my husband both have celiac disease and we were happy about the reviews. Once we got the everyone knew about the gluten free menu, but as we part we start both feeling bad as if we had ingested something with gluten. We were very sorry about that.

Celiac friendly?

No

My daughter loved the pizza and did not get sick.

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!
