What began as a pandemic-era pizza fundraiser has grown into a Greenwich Village restaurant, and the family behind it is staying close to its Catskills roots.

“We started out of charity for our church in Durham,” said Melanie Wesslock, co-founder of The Pizza Box. “Whether it’s in the city or up here, we have a dedication to building communities, supporting the community.”

Melanie Wesslock, her husband, Michael, and their son, Maxwell, founded The Pizza Box in Cornwallville, a hamlet of Durham just outside Windham, in 2021. To raise money for a new roof at the historic Durham-Oak Hill United Methodist Church, they turned to a wood-fired oven Michael, an avid pizza maker, had built more than a decade earlier.

Locals quickly developed a taste for the Wesslocks’ pizza, so the family took it on the road.

Melanie Wesslock found an old horse trailer in Coxsackie and converted it into a mobile pizzeria for events and fundraisers across Greene County. She painted the trailer and learned to weld, and the family installed a separate wood-fired oven.

Windham’s Autumn Affair was one of The Pizza Box’s first events. The Wesslocks enjoyed it so much that they keep coming back, even after opening their brick-and-mortar shop on Bleecker Street in Manhattan last year.

Our very own Fighting 69th

Few military units carry Irish-American history quite like New York's legendary **Fighting 69th**.

From the bloody battlefields of the Civil War to the trenches of World War I, this famous regiment earned a reputation for extraordinary courage. 🎖️

And generations later, its soldiers still march proudly at the front of New York City's St. Patrick's Day Parade.

**A tradition connecting Irish-American military service, sacrifice, and heritage across generations.** ☘️❤️
