You want good pizza with a dive bar atmosphere go to Dave’s Dark Horse tavern in Starkville

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


Agree on the 1-5 but the vibe is a complete shithole with terrible food.

Much like PInettas- it is not the food itself, it is the ridiculous "new" owners and their rules

And the general layer of grime and filth that they absolutely refuse to clean.

pretty sure 4.5 million would get you in an established pizza franchise with multiple locations.

I've always thought their style of pizza with an actual attention to care and quality could be rather great.

4.5 MILLION.

I love Fleur de Lis, but this woman owner is a money grubbing delusional nut. Sell it at a decent price if you actually want the "tradition" to continue. Short of a fair price, the owner is a selfish prick and cares zero about the history or customers.

I hope it tastes better than it looks. That looks terrible.

There are a lot of people that vehemently disagree, me included. It’s subjective. But what’s objective is they have a cult following that isn’t going anywhere.

We lived not far from Fleur de Lis when we lived in Baton Rouge about 10 years ago. We went twice.

First Experience:
-Cash only is dumb as shite
-The waitress we had was a TOTAL bitch
-It was both hot as frick inside, and so fricking dirty we contemplated leaving before even sitting down
-We ordered something simple straight off the menu, no substitutions or additions and they brought us the completely wrong pizza not once, but twice

Since some folks seemed to rave about it, we thought the first time was a fluke so we reluctantly tried it again a year-ish later and it was the same, if not worse, experience. Never went back.

land more valuable
can build more condos and actually build a new restaurant and serve the same pizzas
You might get $1,350,000


plumbing/foundation/rezoning/electrical to do what you're essentially calling is the new White Star Market but half the size would cost that much before you even develop

This place sucked, but if you have a problem with cash only businesses you can get fricked. Having cashless society is what the liberal gov wants

Lots of pepperonis to break even.

Historic value does not exist in my financial modeling spreadsheet.

The lady fricked up an icon and I'm a little bitter about the BR I loved being slowly shredded into complete shitville. Not bitter enough to run for office or anything. But bitter enough to talk all kinds of shite on the internets.

What a retard. His brand is not worth anywhere close to that. Do yourself a favor and try Rocca or Pizza, Art, and Wine.
