Grab a Bite to Eat at Mystic Pizza CT This Summer

Sometimes you just have to be a tourist. And one of those sort of “cheesy” sightseeing things to do in Mystic CT is getting a slice of pie at Mystic Pizza CT. We all know it from the 1980s romantic comedy starring Julia Roberts as the young wistful waitress. While the storyline may have been fiction, the pizza here is “superb” just as the food critic deemed his slice in the film. You’ll find a large selection from house speciality pies and salads to appetizers and traditional Italian dishes.

The Zelepos Family opened Mystic Pizza CT in 1973 with their secret recipe that originally bought them a local following. When screenwriter Amy Jones decided to set her story at Mystic Pizza CT and they filmed there, that’s when they hit the big time. After the 1988 release of the film, tourists and fans lined the streets of downtown Mystic for “a slice of heaven.” Due to high demand they opened a second location in North Stonington.
