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.

A slice of Connecticut

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.

A slice of Connecticut

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:

Dear Chipotle,

Why is there only one location in Brooklyn? We are bigger and tougher than Manhattan. Manhattan is also full of models and stuff so it would stand to reason that we probably eat more here in Brooklyn. Except for Williamsburg because they’re too cool and/or coked up to eat so don’t bother with that one. But have you seen some of those motherfuckers at Atlantic Center? I have no doubt those peeps are hungry for a giant burrito. Also, I am hungry for a giant burrito. Please advise.

A Slice-by-slice breakdown of Park Slope pizza. Also know as an idea for the most fun way to spend an afternoon in Brooklyn.

Rock & Roll, Pizza, and Ltd. Ed Art. Finally I have a reason to go to Manhattan. (Paper via Brooklynvegan:) The East Village rocker boys behind Bowery Electric, Jesse Malin and Johnny T, along with Kevin Cole (of Two Boots fame), have teamed up, all in the name of pizza. The rock ‘n’ roll trio is the force behind The Pizza Shop, located on Avenue A and 7th Street, which officially has its grand opening tonight [June 25, 2008]. The spot has been serving pizza since the 1960s, but the new owners decided to gussy up the space a bit……All the pizza boxes are limited edition prints. According to a press release we received: “Around 1500 of each box style is made and then never reproduced. The first one being a photo of The Clash from 1979 taken by world famous rock photographer Bob Gruen. Each box will have a different image created by well known and local artists featuring their particular style and medium and these boxes are free with a purchase of any pizza.” As we mentioned earlier, tonight’s the opening, so if you’re in the hood, stop by for your very own signed Bob Gruen pizza box!”

Thanks, suitep! See, I think using a potato of this size for anything other than ridiculously large potato chips is just a waste. I hope it didn’t get mashed! The horror!

I would like to eat a potato chip as big as my face

I know potatoes can grow really big, so why hasn’t anyone marketed giant potato chips yet? I would like to eat some comically large potato chips in the near future.

Speaking of Mister Softee (and it’s not surprising to hear he does late-night drug runs - I figured there had to be something scientifically addictive added to that ice cream). Has anyone noticed the lengths the imposters go to to rip Mister Softee off? In Red Hook there is a truck that looks almost identical to a Mister Softee but plays generic ice cream music and is actually called “Mister Sof-t”. You really can’t fuck with the original. I heard they used to have actual wars - like ice cream man on ice cream man violence. Soft serve is apparently a crazy business!
