California Pizza Kitchen
California Pizza Kitchen is a large US chain.
Per-allergen evidence
California Pizza Kitchen is a large US chain. It has a validated gluten-free menu from the Gluten Intolerance Group (GIG). The menu includes 5 gluten-free pizzas on a cauliflower crust. These pizzas are prepared with dedicated pans, cutting boards, and utensils, along with a glove change. The kitchen is not dedicated gluten-free, however. All pizzas are baked in shared ovens, so cross-contamination is possible. Community reviews on FindMeGlutenFree are mixed. Some celiac diners report no issues, while others report getting sick or witnessing unsafe practices. The chain's own allergen disclaimer states that it cannot guarantee any item is completely free from any allergen.
