Historic Baton Rouge restaurant up for sale; owner looking for buyer who will reignite decades-old business

quote:

BATON ROUGE - Fleur de Lis Pizza, a Baton Rouge staple for more than 70 years, is up for sale and looking for a buyer who will reopen the shuttered restaurant.

The property was recently listed at an asking price of $4.5 million, with the listing calling for a "motivated entrepreneur, investor or pizza enthusiast to carry on the time tested recipes of this mid city gem."

The building is said to still be fully equipped with a working kitchen and other restaurant necessities. The sale includes the name, the property, all equipment and even the recipes.

The long-running business, located on Government Street near the Jefferson Highway intersection, announced it was closing "until further notice" back in July 2022. At the time, ownership cited a staff shortage as the main reason for the sudden closure.

Would love to know how much of the $4.5 is the overinflated valuation of their name and recipes.

That land is probably worth a little money but nowhere near that much. The building is old and decrepit and would require extensive renovations or a tear down.

Would it be considered anodd thing that I’ve never been to this place before as a longtime BR resident?

The pizza is not good. They put toppings under the cheese or some shite and they think they reinvented pizza. Give me a break.

Wait staff would always yell at you if you were having a normal volume conversation typical of any restaurant scene.

Getting a water refill seemed like a tall order.

Cash only businesses are dumb.

You could buy a brick oven from Italy and build a new building for a fraction of that.
