Established in 1968.

The recipe for Cicero's Pizza originated in Niagara Falls, NY. In 1968, Nunzio Cicero purchased the business that became Cicero's Pizza. In 1974 Nunzio's son-in-law Bob LaVerdi joined Cicero's Pizza & 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. When the area was redeveloped, Cicero's Pizza moved down Stevens Creek to the corner of Blaney Ave. 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.
