The 20-yr old drunk me would disagree with this, but the older me agrees. 5 out of 10 at best with a 10 out of 10 chance of the bubbling shits afterwards.

The question is how do the new owners capture the essence de greasy pizza and cigarette smell on your clothes when you leave?

He’s got it overpriced by a mere $4.25M

WBRZ didn’t do him any favors by including the interior photos. Looks like a health inspector’s case study of how a restaurant should not look.

If the business was worth that much, they’d still be open.

I would try a new business there….but not if they had the same menu and recipes as Fleur de Lis. That place sucked.

A good, operating pizza restaurant isn’t worth $4.5 million.

I can’t imagine anyone being dumb enough to pay that for a pizza restaurant that closed because it sucks.

Didn’t realize it closed.

Your have to forgive me for that mistake. Fleur de Lis is every bit as dilapidated and empty now as it always was. That place had unimpressive pizza and a rude staff. Surprised it didn’t fail 20 years ago.

That’s fricking hilariously delusional. Food was absolute shite. The building needs to be demolished and the land isn’t worth that.

The building is said to still be fully equipped with a working kitchen and other restaurant necessities.


So, does it come with the angry old lady?

I reckon the price will go down as the building sits empty, in the expanding hood, rotting, and costing property taxes.

I love their pizza and the whole vibe.

But they’re high as giraffe pussy if they think they’ll get $4.5m.

I do think a savvy person could crush it there with minimal changes. I think it’s probably worth 2-2.5.

ETA:

1. Take credit cards
2. Hire a real bartender with a real stocked bar behind them
3. Paint inside and out. Same colors, just fresh paint.
4. Tall wooden privacy fence behind it and tons of lighting outside.
5. Better trained staff

You do that and keep the overall vibe and recipes, you’ll do very well. Despite some people hating the food, there are tons (like me) that absolutely love it and will always be customers.
