Eagan's CiCi's Pizza Location 'Permanently Closed'

On Wednesday, diners were surprised to pull up for lunch at only to realize the Eagan location had closed.

The pizzeria, which was known for its inexpensive lunch buffets, now has hand-written signs reading “permanently closed” on the doors.

According to the company website, only one CiCis is currently operating in Minnesota – the Rochester location.

“We regret our franchisee's decision to close the popular Eagan CiCi’s location. We are continuing to look for a new franchisee who is passionate about service and bringing CiCi’s Pizza's famous quality, value and variety back to the community,” said Kyle Smith, the senior vice president of restaurant operations.
