Go for the photo op. Stay for the pizza.
I’ve gotten a slice here before and wasn’t impressed but this time WOW! The crust is the Greek style but the sauce is perfectly tangy and delicious. The cheese pull was epic. Their special for the day was the Cowboy Slice with bacon, BBQ sauce and pineapple. I mean CRAZY good.
Reasonable price for the famous slice, too.
Pros: good service and satisfying slice
Cons: gets busy if you just want to enjoy your pizza in peace
I will be back!
I have never seen the movie, but I always heard about the pizza, and I had to check it out. It was a cool scene inside and good vibes. We kept it simple and got a large plain pie and some breadsticks, and it did not disappoint. The pizza was thick and doughy and plenty of cheese. I like to eat my pizza fresh out of the oven so it tore my mouth up! They have many pictures on the walls from the movie and many other pictures from the 80’s that really takes you back to a better time. Reminded me of going out to get pizza on Friday night with my family! There is a little gift shop area in front by the bar to get t-shirts and aprons and other fun stuff. There is some street parking, but it gets filled up quickly, especially in the busy season. There is a few lots across the street, but they also fill up. They open up early so be sure to get in before the crowds.
Best pizza I’ve had in my life. The seasoning is not overpowering and the cheese tastes really fresh. The crust is light and fluffy, fresh veggies and friendly staff. The road going in is always a beautiful sight. Sit by the water and grab a slice and enjoy!
Love the movie and had to make the 2.5 hour drive to try the pizza, and let me tell you, it did not disappoint. The Greek pizza was fabulous. The crust was perfect and the toppings worked perfectly together. The restaurant is covered in so much movie memorabilia. I wish I could have looked at everything. They give you paper menus to take with you if you are a fan of the movie and want to keep a small souvenir. The prices in the gift shop are very reasonable.
Never saw the movie but went for lunch as my wife knew of the place and had visited years ago. We had the fried pickles and a large pepperoni and pineapple pizza.
I’m from NYC and this is closer to pan or deep dish than a typical NYC slice. That said, it wasn’t bad. I actually enjoyed it as I like my pizza fluffy and doughy. It honestly reminded me of a Pizza Hut pan pizza but more homemade. It was a decent size pizza and we each ate two slices and brought 4 home for later. Fried pickles were awesome. Best I’ve had to be honest. Not too oily, not clumped together. Well done.
Service was quick and we didn’t have an issue getting a seat at noon on a rainy Saturday. Waitress was nice and checked in on us.
Knocked a star off as they really take advantage of the movie association as the prices are high even for a touristy place. $40 for a soda, one pizza, and fried pickles is a bit ridiculous.
When in Mystic one should slow down… breathe in the the sea air and RELAX. This eatery welcomes the seasoned pizza fan and is also a local favorite.
You’ll NOT GO HUNGRY as the portions are LARGE. The only problem is narrowing down your final selection as the choices abound so bring friends to share meals!!!
I've always loved the movie, so this was high on my list of places to visit during my trip. It did not disappoint! This is the best pizza I've ever had in my life. I'm not exaggerating. I wish I knew what made the sauce so fresh and smooth. It isn't acidic like normal tomato sauce. Even the spaghetti was incredible. I also love that they caramelize the pizza; it adds so much flavor, and even though the outside of the crust is crispy, the inside is perfectly soft. I wish I could eat here all the time!
Would not think this would be good since most places that make the movies aren’t. Well, I was definitely wrong. I ordered a Greek salad that was very big and full of flavor. I loved it. I also ordered a small pepperoni pizza and the crust was crispy, sauce was great, and I just had to rate 5 stars. Keep up the great work Mistic Pizza, loved the visit.
