<div>This morning, our family restaurant, Highway Pizza in Williamsburg, suffered a devastating and unexpected fire.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>While we are incredibly grateful that everyone is safe, the damage to the building is severe. As we begin navigating what comes next, our biggest concern right now is not the building, it’s our team.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Highway Pizza has never just been a business to us. It’s family. And that includes the amazing employees who show up every single day with heart, pride, and dedication. Some of them have been with us since the day we opened our doors. They are the faces that greet you, the hands that make your food, and the people who help create the memories inside our walls.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Because of this fire, they are suddenly and unexpectedly without work.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Many of our team members rely on their income from Highway Pizza to support themselves and their families. With the restaurant temporarily closed and facing what could be a long rebuilding process, we want to do everything we can to make sure they are taken care of during this incredibly difficult time.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This GoFundMe has been created specifically to provide direct financial support to our employees while we work through recovery and rebuilding. Every dollar raised will go toward helping cover wages for our team during this unexpected closure.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you’ve ever enjoyed a meal at Highway Pizza, celebrated a birthday, brought your kids in after a game, attended trivia night, or simply felt welcomed by our staff — we ask that you consider supporting the people who made those experiences possible.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you’re unable to donate, sharing this page would mean just as much.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for standing with our Highway Pizza family during this devastating time. We are overwhelmed by the love and support this community has already shown us.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With gratitude,
</div>
<div>The Highway Pizza Family ❤️
</div>
