As an update to earlier testing, as of November 13, 2012 Chuck E. Cheese’s gluten-free menu became available nationwide. This rollout makes it easier for families who need or prefer gluten-free options to enjoy a visit without sacrificing treats or party choices. Below are the details about what’s offered, how the items are prepared, where they are available, and what to expect when ordering.
Chuck E. Cheese Gluten-Free Pizza
Chuck E. Cheese now serves individual gluten-free cheese pizzas that arrive in pre-sealed packaging. The crusts come from Conte’s Pasta and are produced in a dedicated, certified gluten-free facility. Each pizza is baked while sealed in its bag and remains sealed through the serving process to reduce the risk of cross-contact during handling. When served, the pizza comes with a personal plastic pizza cutter so guests can open and slice their pizza themselves.
Because the pizzas are individually packaged and prepared from a dedicated gluten-free production line, they offer a convenient option for people avoiding gluten. If you have concerns about cross-contact in the restaurant environment, the sealed packaging and single-serve presentation add layers of protection compared with shared, open preparation.
Chuck E. Cheese Gluten-Free Chocolate Cupcake
For dessert and birthday celebrations, Chuck E. Cheese added gluten-free chocolate fudge cupcakes made by Fabe’s All Natural Bakery. Like the pizza crusts, these cupcakes are produced in a dedicated gluten-free facility. They provide a simple, pre-made dessert option for party hosts who want a traditional birthday treat without gluten.
These cupcakes are a convenient alternative to bringing an outside cake, and they are easy for staff to serve during parties. If you plan a birthday at Chuck E. Cheese and require gluten-free dessert options, it’s a good idea to request the cupcake in advance or confirm availability when booking your party.
Where Available and Price
Chuck E. Cheese’s gluten-free menu has been introduced to around 500 locations across the United States and Canada. Individual-size gluten-free pizzas are priced at $5.99 in the U.S., matching the cost of the regular personal pizzas, which makes them a budget-friendly option for guests with gluten sensitivities. The gluten-free chocolate cupcake is priced at $2.99 in the U.S. and $3.49 in Canada.
Availability may vary by location, so calling your local Chuck E. Cheese ahead of your visit is recommended if you need a gluten-free pizza or cupcake for a specific date. Confirming stock and any special instructions for service can help ensure a smoother experience on the day of your visit.

Tips for Ordering and Safety
When ordering gluten-free items at any restaurant, including Chuck E. Cheese, consider these practical tips: inform staff that you require a gluten-free item so they can follow their service procedures; request that your item remain sealed until it reaches your table; and ask about any on-site practices to minimize cross-contact during serving. While the products are made in certified gluten-free facilities and are served sealed, frontline staff training and on-site practices may vary by location.
For party planning, mention gluten-free needs when booking to ensure the location can accommodate your request and to secure cupcakes or pizzas for arrival. Bringing a small list of questions or a reminder on pick-up can also help staff meet your needs more efficiently.
