The recipe for Cicero’s Pizza originated in Niagara Falls, New York. In 1968, Nunzio Cicero purchased the business that was to become Cicero’s Pizza. Many times Nunzio said that moving to Cupertino from Niagara Falls was “the best move I ever made.” In 1974, Nunzio’s son-in-law Bob LaVerdi joined Cicero’s Pizza. Beginning in 1978, Nunzio’s wife’s grandson, Rik Jones, worked at Cicero’s Pizza while attending college.
Cicero’s Pizza grew up with the Santa Clara Valley as it transitioned from an agricultural area to Silicon Valley. Cicero’s original location at the corner of Stevens Creek and DeAnza Boulevard, (Old Highway 9), next to the Cali Brothers Feed Mill, was at the center of Old Cupertino. Many families made a weekly ritual of coming to Cicero’s. When the area was redeveloped, Cicero’s Pizza moved down Stevens Creek to the corner of Blaney Avenue. Business grew as word continued to spread of the great pizza being served at Cicero’s.
In June 2001, at the age of 87, Nunzio retired and closed his pizzeria. He passed away soon after on July 27th. In June 2002, Rik Jones and Bob LaVerdi, along with Nunzio’s grandchildren, re-opened Cicero’s Pizza at a new location in West San Jose, just across the Cupertino border.

If you're a fan of thin crust pizza then you have to try Cicero's. The pizza is super thin and light. Great texture and crisp.
Great thin crust pizza. I usually get the medium belly buster which is enough for 2 people, or you can eat it on your own if you are really hungry like I do.
Amazing pizza! Worth the 25 minute drive totally. Tried the veggie pizza + friends got a pepperoni + Hawaiian chicken.
