A surge in business led to the opening of a new Pizza Jerks location, at 175 Canada St\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

BY LIZ WITBECK<\/p>\n

Pizza Jerks now has a third location at 175
\nCanada St. in Lake George. The new venue opened
\nFourth of July weekend.
\nIt follows the success of the chain’s other two
\nlocations, at 175 Broad St. in Glens Falls and 59
\nIroquois St. in Lake George.<\/p>\n

“Our other location was so busy and our
\ndelivery times were getting too long,” said owner
\nIggy Rovetto. “We were bursting at the seams.”<\/p>\n

The Canada Street location is approximately
\n2,000 square feet. It can fit 39 guests in the dining
\nroom.
\nA new feature at this location is a bar, which
\noffers a rotation of 10 craft beers. Diners can sit
\nat the bar and enjoy the sound system or sit in
\nthe main dining area.
\nSince opening the third facility, business has
\nincreased greatly at Pizza Jerks, the owner said.
\n“Business is up 25 percent,” said Rovetto. “We
\ndo 75 to 100 deliveries a day.”
\nRovetto has hired seven delivery drivers to
\nkeep up with the pace.<\/p>\n

Last summer at the Iroquois Street location,
\nPizza Jerks served 30,000 pizzas and 43,000
\nslices, he said.<\/p>\n

Aside from the pizza menu, one of the most
\npopular items at Pizza Jerks is the chicken wings,
\nwhich are oven-roasted instead of deep fried. Pizza
\nJerks also plans to expand the menu with more
\npub-style items such as quesadillas, meatball
\nsliders, and paninis.<\/p>\n

Rovetto has been in the restaurant industry for
\n35 years. He went to culinary school and in 1988
\nopened the first Pizza Works with his brother. In
\n1996, the first Pizza Jerks in Killington, Vt., was
\nfounded. In 2003, the Pizza Jerks in Lake George
\nwas established.<\/p>\n

Rovetto had previously operated under the Pizza Works business name and wanted to
\ncontinue doing so in Vermont. However, the name
\nwas already in use when he went to establish
\nthe business. He said a frequent customer once
\ncalled the employees “jerks” for getting his order
\nincorrect, hence the name Pizza Jerks.<\/p>\n

There are currently several pizza shops owned
\nby the Rovetto family, including the Pizza Jerks
\ncompany, the Pizza Works company, and stores
\nin Vermont including Pizza Jerks, Pie-Casso and
\nPositive Pies.<\/p>\n

Of the new Lake George location, he said, “I
\nwant to give a place for the locals to go, to get away
\nfrom all the main street action” he said.
\nPizza Jerks is open 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. For
\nmore information, call 668-4411 or visit www.pizzajerks.com.<\/p>\n
