Mystic Pizza - Mystic - TravBuddy

i was here last summer 2006. when i go to a new pizza joint. i always order cheese pizza. my test food. if you mess up making that. everything is not worth it.

we ordered 3 pizzas, cheese, pepperoni, and steak and cheese. the cheese pizza was well done. the crust was soft and not bulky. the cheese had a plenty of flavor. i love cheese pizza. i am not a big fan of meaty pizza. i like my pizza vegetarian.

the steak and cheese pizza was interesting. it needed more meat if i was a meat eater. i would not order that again.

i wish i had pictures. i had been there many times before. i always order my cheese pizza.

The story begins in 1973... when the Zelepos family bought a pizza shop on historic Main Street in Mystic, CT. They named the place "Mystic Pizza," and began serving the hungry locals and tourists. Mystic Pizza became very popular.

Of course, the real reason behind our success is the pizza. So tempting and addicting is Mystic Pizza, that the crowds grew and grew...

And then one day, Hollywood came to town!!!! Incredibly, our little pizza shop caught the eye of a Los Angeles screen writer named Amy Jones. The movie was filmed on location in Mystic and neighboring towns. When "Mystic Pizza" was released in 1988, it was a huge hit! Even Siskel and Ebert gave it two thumbs up.
