COOPERSTOWN – “Forty-one years! I haven’t even been alive that long,” Sal Grigoli reports people saying to him these days.
That’s the amount of time – age 19 to age 60 – that the founder and owner of the venerable Sal’s Pizzeria has been spinning dough disks at 110 Main St.
You’ll still see him there for the next few weeks as he guides the new owners and their staff through the transition, but as of June 13, the business was sold to Bob Hurley, franchisee of 11 Subways in the region.
Some of the longtime patrons expressing surprise are local, others are from all over the country. “They come back to visit family. They come back for class reunions.”
