The one outside the North Gates. It was upstairs - was it over the old Paradise Records or on the other side of Highland, above Highland Coffees?
The GOAT Godfather's location was in Alexandria - by the movie theater on MacArthur Drive

I delivered pizzas for that location but my favorite was the one at North gates. It had a 2nd floor balcony where Devin DeVasquez did a nude shoot for Playboy

Jones Creek and Tiger Bend.

Now my favorite is in Kenner since its the only actual Godfathers in the state and not one of those Godfather Express abominations.

That was one of the most charming looking restaurant spaces Baton Rouge has ever had. A freaking Godfathers Pizza!

The Jones Creek at Tiger Bend one was one of the first ones in BR (It may have actually been the first). In the early to mid 2000s it was moved to Coursey near the Walmart. Then I think it moved back to the original location before finally closing around 2008 or 2009. But yes it was the last one open in BR.

That was a Mr. Gatti's Pizza. Did it change to Godfather's at some point?

There is still the Mr. Gattis that is on the corner of Essen and Perkins. It's been there since the very early 80s at least.

I cannot think where there was a Godfathers on Essen and Perkins. I thought there was a Sicily Pizza on Essen though. And then you had Pepperoni's Pizza on Staring kind of near Perkins

Edit: Scratch the Sicily's. It was Bluebonnet and Perkins.
