Mystic Pizza

Never saw the movie but went for lunch as my wife knew of the place and had visited years ago. We had the fried pickles and a large pepperoni and pineapple pizza. I’m from NYC and this is closer to pan or deep dish than a typical NYC slice. That said, it wasn’t bad. I actually enjoyed it as I like my pizza fluffy and doughy. It honestly reminded me of a Pizza Hut pan pizza but more homemade. It was a decent size pizza and we each ate two slices and brought 4 home for later. Fried pickles were awesome. Best I’ve had to be honest. Not too oily, not clumped together. Well done. Service was quick and we didn’t have an issue getting a seat at noon on a rainy Saturday. Waitress was nice and checked in on us. Knocked a star off as they really take advantage of the movie association as the prices are high even for a touristy place. $40 for a soda, one pizza, and fried pickles is a bit ridiculous.

When in Mystic one should slow down… breathe in the the sea air and RELAX. This eatery welcomes the seasoned pizza fan and is also a local favorite. You’ll NOT GO HUNGRY as the portions are LARGE. The only problem is narrowing down your final selection as the choices abound so bring friends to share meals!!!

I never saw the movie, but I always heard about the pizza, and I had to check it out. It was a cool scene inside and good moods. We just kept it and got a big simple cake and some bread sticks, and it wasn't disappointed. The pizza was thick and dry and lots of cheese. I'd like to eat my pizza fresh out of the oven so that I'll open my mouth! You have many pictures on the walls of the movie and many other pictures from the 80s that you really get back to a better time. I remember getting pizza with my family on Friday night! There is a small gift shop area in front of the bar to get T-shirts and aprons and other fun things. There are some street parking places, but it is quickly filled, especially in the busy season. There are some lots over the street, but they also fill. They open early to make sure to go before the masses.

Love the movie and had the 2.5 hours car to try the pizza, and let me tell you it wasn't disappointed. The Greek pizza was fabulous. The crust was perfect and the toppings worked together perfectly. The restaurant is covered in so much film memorabies. I wish I could have seen everything. You will give you paper menus if you are a fan of the movie and want a little souvenir. The prices in the gift shop are very reasonable.

I've always loved the movie, so this was high on my list of places to visit during my trip. It did not disappoint! This is the best pizza I've ever had in my life. I'm not exaggerating. I wish I knew what made the sauce so fresh and smooth. It isn't acidic like normal tomato sauce. Even the spaghetti was incredible. I also love that they caramelize the pizza; it adds so much flavor, and even though the outside of the crust is crispy, the inside is perfectly soft. I wish I could eat here all the time!
