DES MOINES – For 42 years, Scornovacca’s has been a long-standing pizza shop on the north side of Des Moines. At the end of the month, it will serve its final customers.

“Over the year’s, I’ve watched families grow up and their children having children,” said Susan Freyleck, owner of Scornovacca’s at 3900 E 14th St. in Des Moines.

The location to the south, at 1930 SE 14th Street in Des Moines, will remain open. 

The pizza place is a family affair. Susan’s brother helps make pies every day. And she pitches in on just about everything.

“My day today consisted of frosting cookies, and making onion rings, and soon I’m going to do the payroll,” said Freyleck. 

Susan said she will miss the busy days of running the pizza business, but she’s looking forward to seeing the world and spending time with family.
