CiCi's Pizza has announced the opening of its fifth restaurant in the New Orleans market. The 4,900-square-foot LaPlace store, located at 1338 West Airline Highway, is slated to open Monday. It is the second CiCi's to be opened by Lucky Seven Management, LLC, and will be operated by Mike Meredith. Lucky Seven Management plans to open another restaurant in Houma by the end of this year.When our guests walk through the door, we do whatever it takes to make them happy, said Meredith. Our secret weapon is our unbelievable people. They want you to have a positive experience. If you want a pizza that we don't have on the buffet, we will absolutely make it for you. It's the basics of how we work - if our guests are happy, we're doing our job. We can always serve great pizza, but what puts us above and beyond is the care we give to you and your family. It may sound corny, but it's true. We want you to be genuinely happy. The first CiCi's Pizza opened in Plano, Texas, in 1985. For the past two years, Nation's Restaurant News has ranked CiCi's number one for sales and unit growth in the pizza chain category. Additionally, the concept has received numerous other honors including the 2004 Pizza Enterprise Industry of the Year by Pizza Marketing Quarterly magazine, a number one rating for the past two years for value, cleanliness and menu variety in the pizza chain category by Restaurants & Institutions, and a top rating in 2003 and 2004 in the Italian restaurant category for Entrepreneur magazine's Annual Franchise 500.
