A family-owned business in Cypress has lasted 40 years and opened three restaurants despite hurricanes, the 2021 Winter Freeze, and the owner contracting Covid.
Only on FOX, hurricanes, an artic freeze, and a pandemic can't stop a 40-year-old family-owned business in Cypress from serving three generations of customers. FOX 26's Randy Wallace spoke to the family to hear their story."When we moved to Texas there wasn't a whole lot of Italian restaurants," said Francesca Cicciarella owner of Giannia's Pizza."We've got to survive it was hard," he said.
"There's a lot of disagreements because they have their own opinion, they're younger than we are the old fashion way they're the new generation, so we put it together," Francesca said. "We're a Sicilian family we're like we're not yelling we're just talking," said their daughter Giannia.The pandemic became the most difficult to survive as Chef Salvatore contracted COVID.
"I'm in a room. I don't know what I'm doing over here. Then the question I ask ‘where my family is?' I don't see anybody nobody is allowed to come in," Salvatore said."All the hospitals were full people were in the hallways no family could go in," Francesca said. "We didn't see my father for 55 days, he was double-ventilated," said Giannia. "And we maintained the restaurant business, the three of us.""That's the reason why we survived is to create another way of doing business during the pandemic," Giannia said."We end up coming back we love Texas I don't know what it is, but it pulled me back," said Francesca."I like to do this," Salvatore said.
