A week ago I mentioned wanting to stop at Mystic Pizza on the way home from Cape Cod and Lydia (ala tumblr) re-blogged that it was a tourist trap and to try Pizzetta (located around the corner) instead. So we did and it was fantastic (thanks for the suggestion!)! Super thin and crunchy crust with a tiny little bit of melted parmesan baked into the top of the edges. Mmmmm! Mystic on the other hand, although gorgeous like something only seen in a painting, is unfortunately filled with white 40-something suburbanite tourists and probably to be avoided short of a quick stop to photograph the picturesque seaport.

Thats kind of what I was thinking after seeing the photos, and I thought it didn’t look like the building or the street. Thanks for the info!

I’m from Stonington (5 miles from Mystic Pizza). The restaurant is just a tourist trap.  Neither that building, nor their food was featured in the film. Locals won’t eat there. It’s just not that good, and overpriced because of the name. Pizzetta (just around the corner from Mystic Pizza) is amazing, and open until 2AM some nights. If you’re nostalgic for Mystic Pizza the movie, you’re better off making a pit stop in Watch Hill, RI (about 15 miles from Mystic).  All of those architect-devirginizing-the-Yalee scenes were filmed there. Plus, East Beach in Watch Hill is good for a dip—ask the locals how to get there, because it’s fairly well hidden.

The real Mystic Pizza is still around and I was rallying for a pizza pit-stop on our Friday road trip, but the pies don’t really look my style. I like it paper-thin and with minimal toppings, as I think the flavor of the cheese, crust, and spices should be the main event of the pie.

Here it is:
