About Mr. C's: Page 1 | Page 2 | Page 3
In the early 1900s (around 1905) four families came from Carlentini, Sicily to the new country, America. They arrived in Omaha to work, meet with relatives already here, and also open their own businesses in what became Omaha’s Little Italy section of town. Mister C’s father (Cirino) worked in his fathers (Rosario’s) bakery. Eventually Mister C and his brothers would all work in the family business. Bread was originally delivered to Mom and Pop Italian grocery stores by horse and buggy. In August of 1946, after WW II, Mister C (Sebastiano) and his four brothers Ross, Lou, Eli and Al put their money together and converted the bakery to Caniglia’s Pizzaria. From the bakery ovens of Cirino and Giovanna Caniglia the boys made Omaha’s original pizza.
