Cicis Pizza

Cicis Pizza, founded in 1985 by Joe Croce and Mike Cole in Plano, Texas, has grown into a prominent American buffet restaurant chain specializing in pizza. The company is headquartered in Coppell, Texas, and operates approximately 299 locations across the United States.

Cicis offers an all-you-can-eat buffet featuring a diverse selection of pizzas, including traditional varieties like pepperoni, meat-lovers, veggie, supreme, and Hawaiian. Specialty pizzas such as macaroni and cheese, barbecue pork, and Buffalo chicken are also available.

Besides pizza, the buffet includes pasta, salads, soups, and a variety of desserts like dessert pizzas, cinnamon buns, and fudge brownies.

In recent years, Cicis has adapted to meet the changing needs of its guests by enhancing its off-premise options. The company launched online ordering, introduced new menu items, and created a loyalty program within the MyCicis app. This allows fans to easily order their favorites for pick-up or delivery at Cicis locations nationwide.

As of 2025, Cicis has more than 300 restaurants in over 30 states. The brand has been recognized by CNN Money as the No. 1 “Casual Dining Pizza Chain (for your money) in America,” named by Technomic as the No. 2 “Most Kid-Friendly Chain as voted by Millennial Moms,” and acknowledged by Nation’s Restaurant News among its Top 200 Restaurant Chains and Franchise Times Top 400.
