"What the hell do you think Leona really puts in that pizza? "One of my favorite movies from the 1980's is Mystic Pizza (1988) staring Annabeth Gish, Julia Roberts, and Lili Taylor. This adorable romantic comedy is about two sisters and their friend during the summer they worked at Mystic Pizza. This coming of age movie chronicles different events in each of the girls lives as they navigate love, school, work, family, and friendship.
The movie was inspired by this local pizza shop that caught a Hollywood screenwriters attention. The restaurant itself was and has been a popular location in Mystic, Connecticut since 1973. Popularity skyrocketed after the release of the movie. After the movie gained a cult following, the owners renovated the original shop to resemble the one from the movie.
Today, the restaurant is still a full functioning pizza parlor. It is located on 56 W Main Street, Mystic Connecticut. The shop is filled with memorabilia from the movie and TVs play the movie continuously all day. You can view their menu and hours of operation on their website, www.mysticpizza.com
