If you like thin crust, which to me is more tasty and the bread/crust to substance (sauce, cheese and topping(s) ratio is so much more delicious and better as well as lower carbs therefore possibly more healthy... it's prefect here. It's not the "cracker" style that's too dry and crisp, but it does lack the doughy standard some people prefer (often to get more "full") - - I agree with the way they prepare the Pizza here 'tho with no complaints. I do think the Meat Pizza with Peperoni, Ground Sausage, Ham and Salami as a combo should dump the Salami and replace it with either Linguica or another meat since Peperoni and Salami are so similar and both a bit salty. I heard you can custom swap toppings on pre-set combos 'tho so that's a decision maybe left for the customer to create. They had some sort of "Lunch Special" that ends at 2pm where we ordered a Pizza and received complimentary canned 12 oz standard sodas as an appreciated perk bonus in my opinion. Parking is super easy here, and they have spacious dining areas for in-store indulgence to eat there. read more

We had heard great things about Cicero's and I as a former Pizza Specialist and food broker representative had to check it out. I have to say the overall experience was very good from the first bite! I doubt you'll EVER delight in the flavor and texture of their crust. In my opinion, the flavor sets the tone for a delicious pizza! Cheers! read more

One of my SJ native friends told me that she drives from East San Jose just to get this pizza. Cicero's is in my neck of the woods. I usually come to this plaza for the Safeway or dim sum. Parking in this plaza can be hit or miss, depending on time of day. You definitely want to avoid when Grand Dynasty is selling dim sum on weekends. It's great that we have local mom and pop shops still. I placed an order on the phone and paid for the order in store. We had to wait another 5 minutes or so for the pizza to be ready once we got there. Pizza was piping hot and delicious. I definitely need to come back soon! Absolutely recommend coming to this local pizza spot! read more

Cicero's Pizza - Chick pick with pineapple and bell peppers - Pizza Near Me - San Jose, California

First time visit here, took us about 15 mins to find parking due to a wedding/party in another restaurant nearby. We got the Chick Pick and Spicy Vegetarian half and half and the chick pick was ok, but the spicy vegetarian was really good. Pizza was not greasy and crust actually was not too thin and perfectly balanced. I'm definitely coming back for the Spicy Vegetarian if I'm in the area! read more

$35 pre tax for a Large Baker's Pride to go! My mother in law who doesn't love pizza even enjoyed this! It was so covered in toppings that you couldn't even see the cheese! My husband liked the thin crust! I enjoyed the crispy edges, I wish it was on top of a thick crust like focaccia but that's just because I love a fat thick crust. The toppings were VERY generous. ALSO it reheats well! Will be back! read more

Yummy GF pizza, fun atmosphere, and a place with a long vibrant history. Wonderful that a pizza place has stood the test of time. We took a group there and we all enjoyed ourselves, feeling cared for as far. As service and leaving very satisfied. read more

Neighborhood old school pizza joint, it's a solid pie. The crust is thinner and crunchier but extremely enjoyable. The ratio of sauce and toppings is just right. My favorite is the spicy veggie, extra well done. The service is friendly and fairly quick for a fresh hot pizza right out of the oven. The self service water and casual atmosphere is wonderful. Come support local and try it my friends! read more

I ordered 2 pizzas over the phone at 545. They said it would take about 20 minutes I arrived at 600 and I paid and the gal checked and said it wasn't ready I sat down in the front where I could see the pizzas coming out. They announced about 3 pizzas on the speaker for other customers. I continued waiting until I realized it was 620. I stood in line to ask and they found my pizzas in the little oven. She apologized but forgot to give me cheese or peppers. I had to return to get those. There were 4 working at the front counter when this happened . I would hope that you have a protocol for checking in on pizzas inside the little oven. Needless to say the pizzas were barely warm by the time I got home. We had to reheat each slice in our toaster oven. read more

So tasty! We were visiting family in SJ and they grabbed Cicero's for everyone for dinner. I dove right into the Cicero's special and boy was that a great pizza. There were plenty of toppings, cheese and toppings went right to the edge of the pizza, crust was nice and crispy it was a great pizza experience. I'd highly recommend Cicero's if you're in the area. read more

This is the third time I've had Cicero's delivered to me. This time I just got a large cheese pizza with a side salad. But I've had the veggie and meat toppings before and I love how finally diced everything is. They always spread the toppings nicely over the pizza. When I got my cheese pizza, it wasn't piping hot, but still a solid cheese pizza. I put a few slices in the air fryer and preferred the slices that were not warmed up. I'm curious as to what the pizza is like when in the store. A large cheese pizza and side salad delievered was $48 which is just crazy to me lol but I guess that's the times we're in. I used Foodie Earth for delivery, so even if you're far from Ciceros but still in the bay, you'll be able to get it! read more

Visited from Sac and wanted to get some pizza. We looked online and many people recommended Cicero's Pizza. We placed an order online, and it was ready within 30 minutes. While the food was overall decent, it was not worth the $44 we spent on food + tip. We had also found a bell pepper sticker label on our pizza (see picture). Based on this experience and price, we would probably not come again nor recommend to others. read more

Great pizza. This is currently the best pizza in the Silicon Valley & the great San Francisco bay area. It is its own style, which is crispy at the edges & thin, with a good amount of toppings. Their spicy vegetarian is our favorite, though plain cheese is a close second. My wife and I get a large spicy vegetarian minus cheese, with extra sauce & well done. If you come at lunch, they throw in free drinks. They even have Detroit's Vernors - be sure to try it if you have not.The pizza is neither deep dish, soft NY style, or gourmet Californian. This is one of my favorite pizza places. The service is always good. Parking is in the shopping center. read more

Cicero's is an institution. So much so that we will drive way out of our way to eat this cheesy deliciousness. We always get the Spicy Vegetarian so really this is just an homage to this pizza combo. They somehow perfected the crust to cheese to toppings ratio. You'd think the star here would be the jalapeños but you see it needs the tomato, onion and bell peppers aside it to really shine. For some reason having a soda with the pizza here is like the best combo of pizza/soda you've ever had. Now the place itself is nothing fancy and can at times get busy and loud. You will not care though. read more

Had a strong hankering for a pizza on a late Sunday afternoon. I had to have a slice. I was obviously living under a rock as I was oblivious to the existence of this place till recently. So this is naturally where I headed to when the pizza cravings hit. Entering the place is like stepping back in time. I remembered the pizza parlor from my university days. Place was not packed but their phone kept ringing away for take out orders. We decided on the spicy veggie pizza. It was ready in a box for take out in 20 mins. I decided not to wait, found a table and started digging in immediately. It burnt my mouth!! Burnt mouth aside, pizza was undoubtedly delicious, the "spicy" part was from the pickled jalapeños. This is the thin, crispy and not floppy kind of pizza. Not too much cheese and the right amount of veggies. The outer rim was burnt on one side though. The underside of the pizza was extremely oily only on one side as well. At $35, it's definitely on the expensive side. read more

1. One of the best pizzas in medium thin crust categories. 2. For reason I dont understand is more popular than any other pizza joint in that area with many. I personally Love Dominoes too but Ciceros Pizza is one the best thin or medium thin crust categories. 3. They take 20 minutes to prepare. They also close at 9:00pm and stop taking orders around 8:00pm so please go around 7:00pm for best outcomes. 4. Ambience is ok not too bad and not that great.. Right in the middle. 5. They allow you to just replace one topping and my only feedback to them is to allow two topping replacement. Many veggie lovers dont like mushrooms or sometimes pineapple in their pizzas 6. Service is within 20 minutes and you pay upfront. They call your name on microphone. 7. Red Pepper and Cheese jars are on the corner table for all along with paper towels. 8. Plastic Plates are handed to you on request and finally the most important thing. Pizzas are hot tasty well done and delicious ! read more

I love Ciceros but tonight I found two coarse black hairs that clearly were not mine as it was found on one of the slices so it clearly came from a beard or something like that. Please wear beard/hairnets as this is super unhygenic obviously. read more

Vegetarian have one choice only, which is spicy Vegetarian pizza. Jalepeno, cheese, tomato, onion, bell peppers on a thin crest and unlike other places you have ingredients to the edge and right portion of vegetables. It does look like any other pizza, but taste great, I think the ingredients make the difference, try it to experience. Service and ambiance are right for the pizza place. read more

There's a reason cicero's has been a neighborhood favorite for so long! They do not pre bake any pizza because mine was super hot when I got it and the pizza took a good amount of time to come out. So the flavor was wonderful and the crust was nice and crispy. Their crust also tends to be on the thinner side which I love. Depending on who's working, the service can be really sweet and nice. The interior is also pretty chill! The pizza is also a pretty good size. A medium can serve around two hungry people I'd say read more

Cicero's Pizza - belly buster (medium) - Pizza Near Me - San Jose, California

3.5 Stars It's been a very long time since we ate at Cicero, the recent check please episode had spiked the interest The place is casual and very spacious, pretty good business on a week night. Ordered a large belly buster and some Modelo, waited about 20 minutes and the guy was kind enough to bring our pizza to the table. The pizza was very tasty, very crispy definitely a low carb delight with the super thin crust. It however didn't quite live up to the name as we'd expect more cheese and other toppings in order to 'bust the belly'. It's a good place for large group gatherings especially if you are a fan for lighter thin crust pizzas. read more

Love Cicero's thin crust pizza. Our standard order, for the pat 30+ years is the Baker's Pride. Consistently delicious.

Drove almost across San Jose to try this place based on the reviews. Great pizza which everyone loved. Has a lovely old school feel in the place which would be great for a casual lunch or dinner. read more

If you're looking for good pizza, this is a great spot to eat at. If you're looking for good pizza on a budget, this might not be the place to go. Got takeout from this place and it was really good, especially if you're a thin crust fan. Crispy edges, good balance of toppings, everything you could ask for. Despite the pizza traveling around 15 minutes before consumption, it held its shape and crunch. There was really nothing wrong with the pizza, but 35 dollars seems expensive to me. If you're willing to blow the bank for a pie, this is probably one of the best pizza shops in Cupertino. read more

We are coming to Cicero for almost 13 years but for the first time the quality was very bad. $75 for 2 large pizzas were not at all worth it. Did they change the chef ? The taste was not at all good, no flavor, it was slightly burnt at the bottom, they didn't even cut the pizza properly. This was my family's all time favorite place, and we never minded the price but this time we were very disappointed. I would ask the original owners to please see what's going on. I am a loyal Cicero pizza lover and can't see the quality getting bad so fast. read more

Tried Cicero's for the first time and I'm so glad I did! The pizza was really good and lives up to the hype! I got the spicy vegetarian and the Cicero's special, both were really good! Everyone seemed very friendly! Lily took our order and she was kind, attentive and helped recommend some of her favorites as it was my first time trying them out! I definitely recommend this spot! read more

One of my favorite pizza spots of all time! Their thin crust pizza is one of a kind. No other place can re-create it! Everything here is absolutely delicious and is a must go spot for me when I am in the area. The inside of the restaurant has a true 80's feel to it - you can tell it's an establishment with history and is loved by the community. You order at the counter and you have a freshly baked pizza within 15 mins or so. The pizza isn't too heavy so you will end up eating more than you anticipate, but you never leave feeling overly full. The pizza is really a perfect balance between savory but not over indulgent. Pair it with a beer on tap and it's the perfect meal! read more

This has been my childhood favorite pizza. Nothing compares to the crunchy crust especially paired with draft beer (for me) and/or coke (for the kiddos). I do wish it came from a fountain instead of canned. It's a classic joint, clean, and not sticky. They always seem too busy and I have to remind myself that the traditionally veggie is the "No meat treat." I hate having to wait 20+ minutes for pizza. Nevertheless it is worth it on a Friday night after a frazzling work week. read more

Cicero's is one of the best pizzas I have eaten. You can choose a thin or thick crust. I like them both. You will get a nice crunch on the bottom either way. The store is spacious and lovely... sparkling clean as is the rest room. Seating is comfortable and uncluttered. Service is friendly, fast and efficient. The family should be very proud of their restaurant. Parking is in the lot or on the street. read more

- Meat lover combo is so so good! Always down to support a local business - Comfort food that's always reliably delicious. Very crispy, thin crust that I will and can finish as a crust hater! A little oily, but not overly so. I can eat 5 pieces by myself, so it's that good :') It's even delicious when reheated in the oven! - Calling to pick up ( takes around 20 minutes) is way too easy to do, so I want to dine in someday! It's always so packed inside and I see so many cute and heartwarming pictures of customers on the walls. read more

So good, was recommended this place by locals who went here growing up and I can totally see why. I loved the crispiness of the pizza and it was just an overall nice thin, crispy crust which sets it apart from a lot of other pizza styles. We got their large spicy vegetarian pizza for 3 people which came with jalapeños, onions, tomato, and bell peppers, and the jalapeños gave the perfect spicy kick! I want to try their No meat treat pizza next! read more

Cicero's Pizza - Spicy Vegetarian (Large) - Pizza Near Me - San Jose, California

Cicero's Pizza is a friend's family favorite, so they brought me along as a replacement kid when both of their kids were out of town. I'm generally split on thin crusts, but Cicero's does it right. The Belly Buster was a true combination pizza that lived up to its name. It reminded me of a thinner crust version of the Costco combination pizza in the best of ways (RIP), so the ratio between the toppings and crust was delightful. The pizza also reheats well, so don't be afraid to ask for a box to take home! read more

Attended a birthday event at this location yesterday. Everything was perfect, ambience, food, service. Will go there anytime again !!! read more

The pizza isn't bad but their prices are out of control. Over $30 for a plain cheese pizza is ridiculous.

I would probably never have known about this place if it had not been featured on an episode of "Check Please Bay Area." It's in West San Jose, in a strip mall with a Safeway on Bollinger. You order at the counter and they call your name when your pizza is ready. We ate in. Their soda's are in cans rather than out of a dispenser. The menu is small: pizza's and salad, but they do have a choice of salad dressings. The salad is rather basic, but not bad. The pizza crust is very thin and crispy. We all enjoyed our pizza. My "No Meat Treat" could have used more cheese; perhaps next time I'll ask for extra cheese. Otherwise, it was very good. I was able to finish a small pizza. My husband had the Hawaiian and loved it. My daughter really liked her spicy veggie. We came at around 4 pm, which turned out to be fortunate since they were already getting busy. I would definitely go back. read more
