The Fez
was founded in 1966 when the Thomas Family
purchased The Scottsville Inn in Hopewell Twp. Aliquippa, Pa. Over the
years, the family’s hard work helped The Fez evolve from a 500 square
foot tavern to a sprawling, nearly 100,000 square foot Banquet, Wedding
and Special Event Facility.
The Fez received its unusual but memorable name when our founders
(pictured above) returned from a cross country excursion to California in
the 1950s. As the story goes, the three travelers found themselves lost,
tired and hungry with an empty gas tank late at night. After many lonely
miles on the road they luckily found an open gas station. Upon filling up
and pausing for a while to rest, the travelers were quick to ask the
attendant for any recommendations on dining and overnight lodging
facilities in the area. The attendant quickly answered "there’s
only one place around here that I’ll recommend it’s called "The
Fez."
Upon arriving at "The Fez" the tired travelers were greeted
warmly by the owners and were quickly seated to have dinner. The owner
held over the kitchen staff to feed the weary travelers. After enjoying
the wonderful dinner and excellent service, they thanked the owner
profusely for his graciousness. So taken by the warmth and hospitality,
they never forgot the experience! Ten years later, when the three decided
to open a restaurant of their own they named it "THE FEZ!"
Today, after having hosted over 3,000 wedding receptions, countless
Anniversaries, Birthdays, Baptisms, Community Banquets and Fund Raisers,
The Tradition of Excellence Continues under the leadership of the third
generation of the Thomas Family!
Our Commitment to our Customers Remains the Same …
Excellent Food, Excellent Service, Reasonable Prices and above all ... the
warmth and hospitality that is … THE
