Worth it even without nostalgia?

Sincere question. I did not grow up with this but I have played Pizza Tycoon.
Looks like it's along those lines?

I would say so; it is a solid game about cooking pizzas for the customers of a pizzeria you run. However, if you compare it to this

Or this

https://store.steampowered.com/app/588160/Pizza_Connection_3/

Then your expectations may not match. Most obviously, there is little to no emphasis of economy mechanics in the Papa Louie games. You are genuinely cooking a pizza to order for a person and serving it in one shop, collecting tips and paychecks to buy cosmetics and a few pizzeria upgrades. There are a few other aspects, but essentially every game "day" is the same loop.

I am sure there are still sites hosting the old Flash versions where you can try out the game play loop before you buy if you are hesitant. Even a video should do, though. Or you can refund if it does not suit you in under 2 hours.

Thanks! Much appreciated.
