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.
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!
The kids thought it was all pretty cool!
The pizza? It was probably one of the best pizza’s I’ve ever had! No lie.
Love Julia Roberts. I really need to see that movie! Mmmmm Pizza! Maybe Friday! Great pics looks like everyone was having tons of fun. Thanks for sharing & have a great day!
I have never seen (or heard of the movie), but what fun to go to a place featured in a movie. I would get a kick out of that!
The entire movie was this place 😉
It looks delish!!!
Yum! That sounds like a fun trip!
I had no idea this was a real place! I checked the VHS copy of this movie out of the library back in the ’90s. That whole sentence sounds so dated now, man how quickly things change, LOL!
LOL, I saw it in the 90’s too!
This may be the only Julia Roberts movie that I haven’t seen! I need to see if it’s on my Amazon prime so can watch it! That pizza looks so good!
The pizza looks pretty good too!
Yumm! That Pizza looks amazing! I am very picky about my pizza!
OMG Julia Roberts looks so young! And thank you. It is 1am and all I want is pizza now 😉
I’ve always wanted to go there!! Love that movie!
That’s so cool! I’ve never heard of the movie {I was born the year it came out lol} but it sounds cute & that pizza looks amazing!
Hey, I was born in the 80’s too. I watched it in the 90’s!
Darn, there goes my excuse. 🙂
Yum that looks delicious! Yes, I remember the movie!
Now, this is just cool! I actually just watched this movie (again) a few weeks ago. I just love how the movie made the pizza place famous.
I remember seeing that movie, but don’t really remember it…
Never heard of the movie but I like Julia Roberts an I love pizza,an that pizza looked awesome,,we go thru CT on our way to VT,may have to stop by ,how were the prices?
My hubby and I stopped there in January on our way back from NYC. It had been years since I’d been there and the pizza was just as good as I remembered.
I love Mystic, CT! We have driven by Mystic Pizza and never went in, maybe we should one day!
I had just about forgotten about this movie….How could I??? Me and my BFF usedto watch this together. How cool that you got to actually go there too! Perfect movie to watch on a Sat. afternnon….think I will too!
I don’t think I’ve ever seen it! Yummy looking pizza though!
I’ve heard of the movie, but don’t recall seeing it. How neat to come across the reason the movie came about!
Okay that is so cool. I would so do that. I am glad the pizza was good and not a lark
What a fun experience! I don’t think I’ve seen the movie, but now I want to!
That sounds like a super fun time!
I’ve never seen that movie! I love Julia Roberts, too, so I need to check it out! That pizza does look amazing! Why is it so hard to find GREAT pizza these days? Now I want pizza…lol
I would definitely stop if we were close to there too. Glad the pizza was delish.
Sounds fun, I haven’t seen the movie.
The pizza looks wonderful! I haven’t seen the movie but you’ve got me wanting to now :).
I love Mystic Pizza (the movie). I also love all Julia Roberts’ movies. How cool that you got to eat at Mystic Pizza, the pizza looks delicous and the kids seem to be having lots of fun. Thanks for sharing your adventure with us!
Ok! Now I want pizza!!
That pizza looks INCREDIBLE! I wish tonight was our pizza night.
How cool you actually visited a real place based on a movie. That pizza looks so good
Fun! I haven’t seen the movie, but I will have to check it out now.
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!
How fun! I actually haven’t seen that movie, but I love Julia Roberts.
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.
LOVE Julia Roberts!! So fun to visit places that are famous in movies!
Want pizza! Looks like a fun time following the steps of the movie.
I love that movie 🙂 I didn’t know there was an actual restaurant! I would love to go if I am ever in the area
I’ve never seen that movie before but it’s now on my to-watch list! Sounds like a cute movie to boot 🙂
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)!
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.
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)!
I LOVE THE MOVIE… HAD NO IDEAL IT WAS A REAL PLACE 🙂
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.
looks a little thick for me, but still yummy !:)
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.
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
I took all the photos with my iphone5 in the instagram app 🙂
Well done!
1988 – Julia R. was only 21 at the time. Good start for her.
Wow a movie turned pizza place? That’s nostalgic!
That is SOOOO totally cool – and that pizza looks DELICIOUS!
I saw part of this movie eons ago! How fun to go there to eat! That pizza looks scrumptious!
It’s been forever since I’ve seen that movie. I loved it at the time!
That was a good movie, had no idea there was a real Mystic pizza 🙂
I’d love to travel to where they filmed Safe Haven.
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….
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!
Now that looks like a yummy pizza! I want a slice!
I’ve never seen the movie – looks like a good watch. How young Julia Roberts looks. I am hungry for Pizza now.
This post makes me hungry for pizza but it’s not on my diet.
I have never been to Mystic but I loved the movie.
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.
