Popular pizza joint is expanding to the east side of Waukesha this summer.
When Joe Scrima opened Scrima’s Pizza in June, long-time residents who remembered the original Scrima’s Pizza – which closed in the mid-1990s – asked him when he’d open on the east side of Waukesha. The pizza place is located in Dave’s Mobile at Silvernail Road and Grandview Boulevard. But for the second location, Scrima said he looked at several locations before finding the perfect place. Scrima’s Pizza will be opening a location in Woodman’s Food Market when it opens this summer. While there will be ovens for a limited amount of baking, the primary pizza sales will be take-and-bake pies. “We are excited about getting in there,” Scrima said. “Hopefully, it will go (well).
