Pastime Restaurant and Lounge

A Baton Rouge Tradition®, The Pastime Restaurant & Lounge is the
only Historical Landmark restaurant in the city!

We are a local family-owned and operated restaurant.

"Generation after generation of the same families bring their kids for pizza and po-boys.

Our family kept pizza recipes are 70 years. Inside the kitchen, toppings are layered over the dough and sauce first, and then the cheese is added as the final touch.
It’s the traditional way, “like a real pie,” ~ Randy Wesley, Owner

Pastime is dedicated to our Baton Rouge community. During the pandemic with the "stay at home" orders we responded and made some permanent menu offerings:

• Set up tents in different neighborhoods for drive-thru pizza pickups.
• Introduced Pizza Kits, boxes full of everything needed to build a homemade pizza. Our most popular for families to enjoy time together cooking.
• Pre-Made Take & Bake Pizzas
• With so many children missing out on their Birthday Parties, Pastime offers a kids' pizza making experience working along side the kitched team to craft their own pizzas. They can build it however they want.
