That place is to pizza like McDonald’s is to hamburgers. The only people that think it is good pizza are people who grew up in BR.

Not exactly sure your McDonald’s analogy is hitting the mark but I guess that makes me one of those since I’m local

Most local traditional places across the country are totally overhyped, but their roots in the community supersede the taste. Going into that dark crammed place that hasn’t ever changed and getting a square pizza and a cold beer brings me back to my childhood and good memories. Great nostalgia.

Ain’t nothing wrong with McDonalds, bro. There’s plenty of consumers for both McDonalds and the other burger place. Same with pizza. I love burgers and I love pizza, the more options, the better. Such a stupid thing to whine about.

Seems like they need to raise their prices so they can pay higher wages.

Their customers go there for the nostalgia, not because they know anything about qualities that make good pizza.

Some people will pay more for good pizza. Those people don't eat at Fleur de Lis. But people who do eat there won't stop just because the price goes up a couple of bucks.

Buds broiler is the better comparison here. If you grew up with it, it’s sentimental and has a certain taste that you enjoy.

But try to brag on it to a buddy from out of town, and they will laugh at you after you take them. And rightfully so.

“This is what is considered great pizza/burgers in this town?”

For the record, I love me some Buds.
