‘Pizzabilities’ had its grand opening on Saturday in Alpine, right along Alpine Boulevard. The pizza shop has a pretty clever name, considering they provide possibilities for each and every employee who works there. Grace Baker was one of the store’s first employees. She has Down Syndrome. Josh Baker is her dad, and he’s also one of the owners. Baker told NBC 7 that his daughter just graduated from high school at 19 years old, and was having a tough time locking down a job.
