Mystic Pizza

Have you ever seen the movie Mystic Pizza? If not, you should! It’s a great movie. An oldie but definitely a goodie! Not to mention it has Julia Roberts in it.

Mystic Pizza DVD Movie

Well, last week my family went down to Mystic, CT and spent the night at the Hilton Mystic for the kids spring vacation. We went into town for dinner and just had to stop for Mystic Pizza.

If you haven’t seen the movie before the menu explains it all right on the cover. It’s also a fun read if you have!

  33. I’ve never seen the movie but that pizza must be awesome to inspire a movie AND keep it’s reputation intact even until now!

  35. Sylvia Ortiz says

    I really enjoyed watching the Mystic Pizza movie – how cool to know that the Pizza place is a real place to eat pizza! Hope to one day visit it and have the opportunity to taste their pizza.

  36. LOVE Julia Roberts!! So fun to visit places that are famous in movies!

  37. Sarah L says

    Want pizza! Looks like a fun time following the steps of the movie.

  38. Beth R says

    I love that movie πŸ™‚ I didn’t know there was an actual restaurant! I would love to go if I am ever in the area

  39. I’ve never seen that movie before but it’s now on my to-watch list! Sounds like a cute movie to boot πŸ™‚

    If I’m ever in the Mystic area, I’ll definitely stop in for some pizza even if I have to majorly cheat for it (I can’t have pizza due to wheat/gluten/dairy issues)!

  40. I remember watching the movie a couple times when it first came out. How cool that you got to visit the location. The pizza looks delish.

  41. I actually have not seen the movie, but I have visited Mystic, CT. Next time we’ll try the pizza (and watch the movie beforehand)!

  42. nicole copeland says

    I LOVE THE MOVIE… HAD NO IDEAL IT WAS A REAL PLACE πŸ™‚

  43. Catherine S says

    It really is a sweet movie and it made you-know-who a star. I’ve been to Mystic on several occasions and just love Mystic Seaport.

  44. courtney b says

    looks a little thick for me, but still yummy !:)

  45. Tammy S says

    I love this movie! It is an oldie but definitely a goodie. It was before Julia Roberts was big time. In fact I have it on DVD. It was on sale for like $5. You have to see this movie if you haven’t. I would love to go there sometime for pizza.

  46. Anne says

    Great lighting in your outdoor shot! Makes me want to go inside. And I’m hungry, so I’m not even going to mention the pic of the pizza! LOL

    • Jennifer says

      I took all the photos with my iphone5 in the instagram app πŸ™‚

  47. Sarah L says

    1988 – Julia R. was only 21 at the time. Good start for her.

  48. Blessie Nelson says

    Wow a movie turned pizza place? That’s nostalgic!

  49. That is SOOOO totally cool – and that pizza looks DELICIOUS!

  50. Mimi says

    I saw part of this movie eons ago! How fun to go there to eat! That pizza looks scrumptious!

  51. It’s been forever since I’ve seen that movie. I loved it at the time!

  52. Betsy Barnes says

    That was a good movie, had no idea there was a real Mystic pizza πŸ™‚

  53. Sarah L says

    I’d love to travel to where they filmed Safe Haven.

  54. sandy weinstein says

    have seen this movie several times….what is strange to me is how the stars in the movie have changed so much as they got older…..(their looks, etc)…..good ole movie….however, i am not a pizza eater….

  55. Jen Gonyer says

    Love the movie! Haven’t seen it in a long time, but now I feel like watching it. And, now I need to try the pizza. I honestly didn’t realize that there was a Mystic Pizza in CT. Now I know where I need to eat next time I’m in CT!

  56. Now that looks like a yummy pizza! I want a slice!

  57. Maria Iemma says

    I’ve never seen the movie – looks like a good watch. How young Julia Roberts looks. I am hungry for Pizza now.

  58. Sarah L says

    This post makes me hungry for pizza but it’s not on my diet.

  59. s riches says

    I have never been to Mystic but I loved the movie.

  60. Tiffany Schmidt says

    I love that movie! SO cool that you visited. It’s even better that the pizza is worth it. I love visiting restaurants featured in movies.
