I have had 3 really bad experiences in the last 2 months after years of great service when I worked in area in 2021.
The shrimp pizza was a household favorite for my boys but the quality of the ingredients especially the shrimp have diminished to the lowest possible.
The lasagna the first time was burnt at bottom and edges and I mean crispy charred burnt.
I tried again with lasagna and this time absolutely no flavor of cheese sauce and pasta was taste and texture of mashed potatoes. Not only that but the garlic bread was drenched in garlic oil sauce. How can you make a profit if bread drips with garlic oil to point where you can’t taste the bread but only the oil?
The lowest quality of ingredients and lack of spices and seasoning truly shows and they have lost their appeal has an option. Disappointing and disgusting.

I appreciate that this business still has an in house delivery driver, as I refuse and boycott third party food delivery apps in general. I like to support small local business and be sure that they are getting 100% of what I pay.
With that said, I called to place my order and the man who answered was polite and efficient. He gave me a time estimate of about 45 minutes, however the driver arrived much sooner than that, and he was also polite and efficient. I paid them with cash and tipped the driver.
I ordered the spaghetti bolognese and a side salad. Everything arrived at perfect temperatures. The pasta dish was somewhat unexpected, being that is was much more buttery and creamy than perhaps other red meat sauces I've had, however it was delicious and it came with garlic bread! The side salad was okay, pretty standard side salad with olives, cheese, a tomato and Italian dressing.
In total with a $5 tip for the driver, I spent $32. The portion of pasta was very large and it came with two big slices of garlic bread. I ate the salad, half the pasta, and half the bread and now I have leftovers! I'm super pleased and will definitely order from them again.
Thank you to everyone at Ciccero's from the server who took my phone order, to the cooks, to the deliver driver. Good job!

If you look at my Yelp Reviews they are mainly positive as I love to leave positive feedback. Tonight I ordered a thin crust pizza, when DoorDash deliver this pizza it was thick crust, I called the shop to let them know and spoke to Salvador who tells me my Pizza was thin crust. Do you really think anyone who ordered a thin crust pizza would call and say they received a thick crust. WILL NOT BE ORDERING FROM HERE AGAIN. Cannot believe this guy told me on the phone it was thick crust, have no time for Liars!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They spam out apartment complex with fliers every week. We don't come to your restaurant and put advertisements on your walls. Quit doing it to us.

I've had dine in, take out. The food is excellent, can say much about an atmosphere because it is a small place. Service is ok, constantly getting phone orders.

I went here for Lunch, its been a wonderful day. Then I go inside to order and the Cashier has the attitude as if he really don't want to serve me. Then when I get my Personal pizza ? is bubbled up with hardly any cheese. I had just said to the guy before I got my food, "why are u being that way towards me. The other gentleman in the back had a smile and was saying have a good day but the Cashier NO SIR. YOU WONT TREAT MANY ANYKIND OF WAY AND TAKE MY MONEY. I'm a black woman and I'm just tired of being treated like dirt. When I went to ask why was my pizza done like this a white guy start saying just give her the money back but he didn't know how I felt and how I had already told them I didn't like the way I was being treated. I'm so tired of it I really am. No stars from me. This took my lunch period and I will never go back. The one on LaCienega is way better ther service is Great and Know there is no connection. Have a wonderful day!!!
Never heard of them, but I will never eat here or give my money to a business who thinks its okay to litter their thick paper menus ALL OVER Santa Monica. I’m all for creative/free/gorilla marketing but this is obnoxious, desperate, wasteful and selfish to significantly contribute to the garbage issue in our city for their own promotional gain. These are not thin menus. They are thick with some weight and I can guarantee we will be seeing them littered in gutters, yards and bushes for weeks ahead. ?Shame on you! Find a more modern way to promote your business that doesn’t involve obnoxiously trashing our community. ?The attached photos are all taken on ONE STREET over 3 blocks between Ocean Park and Marine before I turned around.

First time trying the pizza and I can say it's not bad. It is a little doughy and reminds me of Costco pizza. The Ciccero's treat deal can't be beat. I bought some wings as well and not the traditional saucy wings the flavor is all in the breading which makes it enjoyable and the wings do have meat on them. I will be coming back again to try other pizzas and pasta they have on the menu.

Abysmal people skills from the owner. Whomever he is needs to learn how to speak to people. He had made a mistake in not having accepted the order on his end and when we called to find our order after it was 30 minutes late, he doubled down that it was our fault and that we should have ordered earlier? I had ordered 90 minutes earlier! Instead of trying to find out where things had gone wrong, kept yelling at me that he 'did not follow his drivers around'. Considering how many places there are to order from for lunch, he needs to either allow someone else to handle the phones or take some anger management classes.
