By the age of 20, he had his own shop, Rick\u2019s Pizza, in Saratoga Springs. He sold that business after five years and in 1990 moved to Queensbury with his wife, Janet, and their two daughters, Nicole and Christine. They bought a pizzeria at their former Aviation Road location called Boppitt\u2019s, but quickly renamed it Amore Pizza.<\/p>\n<p>Over the past 32 years, the Grabowski family has operated Amore Pizza. Recently, a grandson, Damien, joined the crew. There are 18 employees, including Stacey Dudley and Cheryl Smith who have worked at Amore for more than 10 years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have built a great business over the years, having had great employees and customers alike. While we had outgrown our space, we still loved our location. So, when TD Bank closed next door, I knew it was time to make a move,\u201d Grabowski said.<\/p>\n<p>The old location did not stay vacant for long, he said. It its now undergoing renovation and will soon house a computer services business.<\/p>\n<p>The restaurant is located in Evergreen Plaza, near Northway Exit 19 and Queensbury High School. It is open from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. seven days a week.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The telephone number is 518 792-2285.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Jill Nagy Rick Grabowski has moved his Amore Pizza next door, doubling the space, including more spacious room for food preparation and production.\u00a0 The new location, the former TD Bank North at 340 Aviation Road, Queensbury, opened over a month ago. \u201cEverything is new\u201d in the space, he said.
