Scornovacca's Legacy...
50 Years of Authentic Family Recipes and Unforgettable Flavors
Pizza...
The way it should be!
At Scorno’s, we don’t just make pizza - we craft a legacy. Our Chicago-style thin crust is hand-stretched from dough made fresh daily, stone-baked in our hearth ovens for that perfect crispy bite. Every pizza is loaded edge-to-edge with freshly shredded, all-natural Wisconsin mozzarella and topped with hand-chopped vegetables, flavorful ingredients, and house-made sauces. From our legendary onion rings and hand-cut mozzarella sticks to our scratch-made meatballs and signature Scorno’s Italian Sausage, every ingredient is prepared with care and tradition. This is more than a meal - it’s a labor of love passed down through three generations.
Fresh Ingredients.
Authentic Recipes. Innovative Dishes.
At Scorno’s, we believe pizza should be bold, fresh, and unforgettable. That’s why we make everything we can in-house - from hand-chopping produce to crafting our famous sausage blend. We pile our thin crust pizzas high with top-quality ingredients and bake them in a hearth stone oven for unbeatable flavor and crunch. Whether you’re craving the classics or something totally new, you’ll taste the difference quality makes - from the very first bite.

Spoiler alert: they really love the onion rings.
Started and ended my travel week to Des Moines with Scornovaca’s! My favorite pizza in town with crispy crust, flavorful sausage and hand-breaded rings!
I was in lowa for a work trip and found this spot on goggle maps, it did not disappoint at all! Very quaint mom and pop spot and everything was great from the house made creamy Romano dressing to the Lasagna with the house made sauce and Perfect garlic toast. I will definitely be returning if ever in the area!
I’ve been coming here for 20+ years, so my whole life and it is always amazing! My last visit was 6 years ago, and I finally made it back today, and the food is the exact same quality as it has been my entire life! Thank you for making my day! As usual I’ll definitely be back!!
