Scornovacca's Altoona

We got delivery from here and it was fantastic. It arrived early and was cooked to perfection. I got a chicken bacon with Alfredo sauce and added peppers. It was a masterpiece of flavor and texture. I also made a pepperoni and cappicola with mozzarella. This was easily some of the best pizza I've had delivered in a while.

This was our first time dining here, and unfortunately, it will also be our last. I don’t enjoy writing negative reviews, so I’ll start with the positives. The onion rings were excellent, and the pizza and fried mushrooms were decent. Pricing was fair—about what you’d expect from a pizza/Italian restaurant. Our server was friendly, though not very attentive. On the downside, the marinara sauce (served with the mushrooms) wasn’t for me. It had a strong anise flavor—if you enjoy black licorice, you’d probably love it, but I don’t. The wait for our pizza was also long—about 30 minutes for a simple cheese pizza. I later noticed a large takeout order of about 10 pizzas, so I’ll give the benefit of the doubt that the kitchen was busy, though there were only three families dining in. Unfortunately, we ordered a cheese pizza but received pepperoni. We didn’t complain, since we didn’t want to wait another half hour for a replacement. The atmosphere left a lot to be desired. Booth upholstery was coming undone in several places, and the wall decor showing the restaurant’s opening year (“1973”) is missing the “3.” When we sat down, there was trash under our table. The TVs around the dining room weren’t being used well—only one showed football on a Saturday afternoon, while another was set to Fox News. Finally, when we were ready to leave, I had to go find our server to request a to-go box and the check, as she was in the back most of the time. All in all, despite a couple bright spots with the food, the overall experience was disappointing.

Atmosphere 0/10. Play some music, turn the volume up on a tv or something. It was dead silent. Not kid friendly what so ever. Wasn’t even offered a high chair. Servers seemed stressed and it wasn’t even busy. Not super friendly or attentive. Onion rings were over cooked and weren’t that great. Their “thin” pizza is like Casey’s normal crust. Definitely not thin at all. Mushrooms were rubbery. Don’t recommend dining here. If you want ok pizza then sure get takeout.
