Best

The food is simply great. Maybe the best pizza in town. The location is very pleasant as well.

Worst

I was looking forward to trying Cicero's after reading all the stellar reviews on this website, but I was definitely disappointed. There wasn't much flavor, many toppings or very ...

delicious thin crust pizza 1/31/2003

We went as a group of 10 people to Cicero's. The people are very friendly and the service was quick too. The pizzas were well baked and the crust was thin and crisp. We had the vegetarian which tasted delicious - the toppings were just perfect. The meatless was a little bland. Pros: Good Pizza, Good for groups, Simple Menu more

Punched lids on baby food bottles R back 1/2/2003

The key ambiance at Cicero's is that pepper is kept in baby food bottles with holes punched in the lid to make them into pepper shakers! This is a trademark that I have associated with tasty pizza at Ciceros for 12 years!! The Bay Area is back to being Bay Area now that they are back!! Pros: very tasty, great value, good overall more

childhood favorite 11/27/2002

I grew up in San Jose, CA. My grandparents had a cleaners acroos the street from Cicero's. My mom used to work at the cleaners and when she would get off, we would run to Cicero's for pizza. I live in Nevada now, (all grown up) and still crave Cicero's pizza. I was heart broken when my grandparents told me they closed. I'm so excited to see that they are back up and running. I can't wait to take a trip back to my old stomping grounds for the best pizza ever. more

THE GODFATHER OF PIZZA MADE AGAIN! 10/15/2002

CICERO'S MAKES PIZZA THE WAY IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE MADE, THEY HAVE BEEN SERVING THE SILICON VALLEY FOR 34 YEARS, PEOPLE WHO HAVE DIDNED THERE OVER THOSE YEARS ARE MORE LIKE FAMILY THAN CUSTOMERS. BOB LAVERDI YOU ARE MY HERO! EVEN THOUGH YOU & YOUR BUDDIES WOULD THROW A BEACHBALL AT MY HEAD WHEN I WAS A BABY JUST TO SEE WHICH ONE OF YOU GUYS WOULD BOWL 1ST. ANYWAY I FEEL LIKE TAKING A BIG BITE OUT OF ""big apple"" (pizza) & SPITTING IT RIGHT BACK IN THEY'RE FRICKIN' FACES! more

Not that great 9/12/2002

I had to try this place after reading the great reviews it received on here. I was left very disappointed. I ordered my 2 large pizzas at 3 pm for a 6:45 pick up. They were not ready when I arrived. The pizzas were okay, but nothing to rave about. The really thin crusts don't do well when you heat them up the next day. The staff was very friendly. If you go I'd recommend you call ahead. The place was packed and they were telling people 45 min wait for their pizzas. more

Thank the 'secret inside' they're BACK! 8/22/2002

Cicero Pizza cannot be compared to pizza's that are made by big chain formula (Round Table, Little Ceasar's, etc.). It would be like compairing Coc au Vin to KFC -theirs is a unique dish. With their thin, fresh rolled dough, it is placed in a pan that has been coated in olive oil. The 'Secret Sauce' is added, with it's undertone of sweetness, is a delight to the palate. The cheeses and other toppings are added, then placed in the oven - and this is where one of the MAJOR differences is - it is basically fried in the pan as it cooks. When it comes out the crust has a crispness to it that is quite unique. I have never been to a pizzaria that has this tradition. The end result is a GREAT tasting pizza! We have eaten at Cicero's since 1968 and will continue to do so! Pros: friendly staff, nice environment, like family Cons: not in Cupertino :(, crowded at peak hours, they need an XL pizza more

at home 8/21/2002

Cicero's has the best thin crust pizza in the bay area. You go there and the employees know your name, because if your in there most likely you have been going there for years. They are very nice people and definintly know how to make a pie. If you get a referral to go to Cicero's, go because the person who told you about it know's good Pizza pie!!!!! We love Ciceros and Bob Laverdie for bringing it back and keeping Ciceros alive. Thanks Bob more

Addiction is the word! 8/20/2002

This is the BEST pizza I've ever had! It is the ""pizza with the secret"". I think the secret is they have some sort of addictive agent in it! I just can't get enough!!!! Well- I'm off to Papa Cicero's! THANK GOD they are back in business!!! The shakes were getting pretty bad! Pros: awesome food, friendly people, very inexpensive Cons: can't, think, of any more

Thin Crust Taste King! 8/20/2002

After 20 years of Cicero's pizza enjoyment, I'm happy to say the pizza hasn't changed a bit; it's still just as full flavored, and wonderful as ever. Their unique style of an oiled pan, thin crust, and superb sauce, makes basic cheese or the everything goes Cicero's special something I can't find anywhere else. Their thin tasty crust makes the pizza rather light, and doesn't fill you up like the bread heavy versions so common in the chains. The closest Ive ever come to Ciceros was in the countryside in Italy, but now I only have to travel a few miles! I can do Cicero's every week, and recommend it as one of the most unique pizza's I've ever found. Pros: unique taste, light but full flavor, wholesome place Cons: only one location more

Thinner is better 8/19/2002

Same great pizza in a setting slightly bigger and much cleaner than the old place. The only place to go if you want authentic OLD Chicago / New York style thin and crispy crust pizza. Come here if you eat pizza for the sauce, cheese, and other toppings -- go somewhere else if you're looking to eat mostly bread. Amici's comes close to Cicero's, but their crust is too burnt and chewy to get my top rating, their offered toppings are too yuppified, aqnd their prices are somewhat higher. more

Simply the Best! 8/19/2002

It just doesnt get any better. Great Pizza, Great Staff and its so much nicer to eat at a family run pizza place rather than the big chains. My advice, order a really big pizza so you have some to take home and eat the next day! Yes... its that good. Pros: Pleanty of seats, plenty of parking Cons: hard to find but, next to Safeway more
