    Storyline

    • Trivia
      "Mystic Pizza" is a real pizza parlor, located at 55 West Main St. in Mystic, Connecticut. Writer Amy Holden Jones was vacationing in Mystic one summer, saw the pizza parlor and was inspired to write the story. After the movie came out, the real Mystic Pizza shop became so popular, lines would stretch to the sidewalk and patrons would regularly steal mementos from the restaurant.
    • Goofs
      Incorrectly regarded as a goof, the business license next to the phone at Mystic Pizza reads that the establishment as being in Groton CT. Mystic is a village within the town limits of Groton.

    Sweet and uplifting - young and old should see it
    This movie is so sweet and uplifting, that it is hard not to like it. Sure, it has some corny stuff in it that may seem a bit outdated by today's standards - what with teen movies that portray kids having sex with baked pastry objects, etc. And it may seem too much like a "chick flick" at first, but after I watched it a few times, it seemed more like a film for both sexes, as well as all ages: young people can still watch it and feel some good and positive vibes from it, and older people (like me) can watch it and taste a golden drop of sweet nostalgia.

    Julia Roberts is really fun to watch in this movie, too. It's nice to see her in the seminal part of her movie career. I don't like everything Julia has been in, and I don't always like her acting presence, but hey, she DID give Dave Letterman the finger once when she was a guest on the David Letterman show, so Julia will always be one of my idols.
