Metro\u2019s Restaurant, located on Route 96 in Owego, recently celebrated its 70-year anniversary. The iconic Owego restaurant, known for its family-style servings and famous pizza, originally called \u201chot pies,\u201d opened its doors in 1950.<\/p>\n

The third-generation business was founded by Mary and Metro Sanyshyn, and was the first business in the Owego area to serve pizza. The dish was then called \u201chot pies.\u201d  <\/span><\/p>\n

Now owned and operated by Debbie and Steve Sanyshyn, and assisted by son Scott, Metro\u2019s caters to new and longtime Owego natives looking for a good home cooked meal. <\/p>\n

Open Wednesday through Sunday, from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m., there is both table and bar seating. Takeout orders are also available. All soups and salad dressings are homemade, along with the pizza dough. Haddock and scallops are family favorites on the weekends, and Wednesdays feature the \u201cHome Style Special\u201d meals.<\/p>\n

Much of the restaurant is exactly the same as when the restaurant doors first opened in 1950 including the dinner plates.  <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cNot many places can claim they have 70-year-old dinner plates,\u201d joked owner Steve Sanyshyn. The restaurant also offers a miniature golf course next door, with its pink elephant, which opened in 1993.  <\/p>\n

Out of town guests often remark that no one goes hungry in Owego with so many fine dining establishments to choose from. For 70 years, Metro\u2019s Restaurant is one the reasons why.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
