Did You Know?
| 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. See more » |
| 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. See more » |

| Quotes |
Bill:
I'm tellin' ya, Jo, that I love you. Doesn't that mean anything to you? I think that when people love each other, they should make a commitment. They should have a wedding, in a church, with the blessings of God, for chrissakes! Don't you get it, Jo? I'm telling you - that I love you! And all you love is my dick. Do you know how that makes me feel? Do you? See more » |
