  • To my knowledge, La Scola is the only local water ice producer in PGH. They do not have their own store, but various stores around town sell their water ice, and their stand can be found at many local events. I've always bought from them directly through their stand, which I've found at Bryant St. Fest, Downtown PGH Pop Up Market, and Bloomfield Little Italy Days. At their stand, La Scola typically offers a few different flavors of water ice, as well as frozen lemonades. Their water ice is the best in PGH, without a doubt. It has a silky texture, and the flavor is refreshing and delicious--though it's pretty sweet, so be forewarned. Their frozen basil lemonade was less impressive, unfortunately. Rather than having a slushy texture throughout like a frozen margarita, it's just basil-infused lemonade with some ice blended in that floats on top, making it awkward to drink. While La Scola's water ice is the best in PGH, I am held back from awarding a perfect rating for a couple of reasons. First, I'm from DE, which is in close proximity to Philly, the water ice capitol of the USA, so I have exacting standards. While La Scola's water ice is definitely a cut above Rita's, it doesn't approximate the quality of family owned stands in Philly such as Pop's. Second, the prices are on the steep side. In Philly, a small sized water ice around the same size as La Scola's runs $1.75 at Pop's, and has pieces of lemon in it to boot. On the other hand, it's less expensive than Rita's--but then again, what water ice isn't? Third, the "frozen" basil lemonade needs work (see above). Despite these criticisms, La Scola's water ice is definitely worth a try, so I suggest picking some up if you happen to see their wares around town. I don't remember all of the stores that carry their water ice, but I do remember that Groceria Italiana is one of them. If you frequent the local festivals like I do, you shouldn't have any trouble locating their stand!
