Dining rooted in tradition—now in Sunnyvale.
Brazilian Pizzeria and Grill in Sunnyvale, CA
Welcome to Nelci’s Kitchen—where we’re preserving the best of Mr. Pizza Man and bringing a whole new world of homemade comfort to your table. If you’re in Sunnyvale and craving something that tastes like it came straight from a family kitchen, you’ve found it. We’re based in San Mateo, but we serve Sunnyvale every single day—hot, fresh, and ready to make your evening better. Truth is, we hear this a lot: “I can’t believe how good this pizza is for delivery.” And we get it. Pizza in Sunnyvale should be more than just quick. It should feel like a meal someone actually cared about.
Tradition in the kitchen, family at the table. Pull up a chair in Sunnyvale, you’re home.
In the fast-paced downtown San Mateo, we’re committed to creating dining experiences that are shared, spirited, and always feel like home. And for folks in Sunnyvale, we know your evenings are just as busy—whether you’re coming off the 101 after a long day at Lockheed or picking up kids from Bishop Elementary. That’s exactly why we focus on making our food travel well. We don’t just toss a pizza in a box and hope for the best. We pack it like we’re sending it to a friend.
That’s exactly why Nelci’s Kitchen exists.
Nelci’s Kitchen is the realization of a lifelong dream for Chef Nelci Vieira. Her journey began in the kitchens of Minas Gerais, a region celebrated as the soulful heart of Brazilian home cooking. She brought those traditions to California, and now Sunnyvale families get to taste the difference. Honestly, there’s nothing like a slow-fermented dough that’s been hand-stretched—it’s a world away from the standard delivery pizza you’re used to. We’ve seen it change people’s Friday nights.
Our purpose is to bring the vibrant, welcoming spirit
of Brazil to California—and right to Sunnyvale’s doorstep—by sharing authentic homemade
food, grilling, artisanal pizzas, pastas, salads and desserts.
—Nelci Vieira, Chef de Cuisine
Sunnyvale Tradition, Carved and Shared.
At Nelci’s Kitchen, we honor the slow-cooked traditions of our grandmothers. From the fire of the grill to our hand-stretched, slow-fermented dough, everything is made to be passed around and enjoyed together. For Sunnyvale residents, that means your meal isn’t rushed. It’s not an assembly line. We take the same time and care whether you’re dining in San Mateo or ordering delivery to your home near Sunnyvale’s Ortega Park. The truth is, we know how unpredictable a week in Sunnyvale can get—between squeezing in a workout at the Murphy Park tennis courts or catching a show at the Sunnyvale Theatre. That’s why we make sure our food is ready when you are.
