Mystic Pizza is a real pizza parlor, located at 56 West Main St. in Mystic, Connecticut. Writer Amy 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.
This film was Julia Roberts breakout role, and Matt Damon's feature film debut.
The original Mystic Pizza underwent a significant remodel in 1996. The laundromat was closed next door, walls were blown out and the restaurant doubled its capacity. They added a handicap accessible entrance. There are now separate rooms for takeout and eating-in. But there are still plenty of reminders of the old pizza shop.
