As a resident of Mystic for close to a year now (prior a resident of NYC for 25 years) I am left with no choice but to think that the people who rave or fawn over this pizza have either: a) Never had pizza in any form prior to having it a Mystic Pizza b) Enjoy the kind of food one is likely to find at school cafeterias. c) Are liars who were motivated to post by something other than the quality of food. Im sorry, but there is no other reasonable conclusion. The pizza is minimum effort, slap dash amateur garbage which can only be viewed as acceptable if your goal is merely to shove some food in to your face while passing through Mystic in as short a time as possible. I have yet to meet ANYONE who lives here who actually likes the pizza and I gave it a completely fair shot myself, buying it three times since I moved here (the 2nd time to see if it was a bad as the first, the third because a friend wanted to try it) with absolutely no negative expectations or bias. The fact that there are people on this earth who actually order the pizza and have it shipped to them can only be explained by some blinding romantic attachment to the film of the same name, or their having never, ever had pizza that was any better than say frozen Elios Pizza from their supermarket.

Went to Mystic Pizza after someone said it was great pizza. Honestly, it was the worst pizza Ive ever had. Pizza: Horrible dough, super sweet sauce. It tasted like it was a cheap microwavable pizza. On top of that it was cold. Disgusting. Service: The waitress was nice, however, when we needed something she could not be found, and you cant tell who is a waitress and who isnt, as all are very casual (great for workers, not so much for guests). Restaurant: Prepare to get cozy with strangers. Tables for large parties are upstairs. These have been arranged as tightly together as possible to maximize the amount of people they can fit there (cant believe this is to code). Barely have space to move. We had to literally get out of the chair every time or close neighbor had to get up and go anywhere. Tight quarters also meant: no table space. Yes, tables are narrow. They dont have lifters/stands for the pizzas. We had plates that were on the edge of the pizza platter (which is large and black plastic). Overall: I went, I saw, I barely ate, I paid. Never again.

Locale particolare e molto caratteristico da cui ha preso ispirazione un film con Julia Roberts e Liz Taylor (Mystic Pizza appunto).. La pizzeria si trova lungo la via principale del bellissimo paese, offre un vasto menù e una ricca scelta di pizze farcitissime! Chiaramente cè differenza dalla pizza italiana , questa è più spessa e la cottura è differente.. comunque molto buona anche se "impegnativa" da finire (anche la small).. personale gentile, in 2 prendendo pizza e birra abbiamo speso 40$ + mancia

The pizza was some of the best I had ever had. However, we both ordered a side salad with the small personal pizza and I didnt really think about the price (bad move). The bill came and the two small house salads were $11.58...$5.79 each! In my opinion, they should have been "add a sm side salad" for $2 or $3 bucks each...the salad add-on is a "rip off" for what you receive! I asked the server if $11.58 was correct for both side salads and she said, "I dont set the prices", which is a true statement, but she could have brought the manager over and maybe have had the manager try and explain this ridiculous price for a plain ole side salad (greens, onions, 1 cherry tomato)...so, get the pizza and skip the salad...or just eat the greens and enjoy the ambience and movie photos shot in 1988. BTW...Two small pizzas (one 2 topping, and one 3 topping), two salads, and two cokes...$36.70 including tax.

Terrible food, ran by a terrible company. Having worked there 7 years straight then finding out they screwed me and everyone working there by illegally underpaying us the whole time. Took it to the labor board and won easily, over $100k payed to employees (unfortunately statute of limitations only allows past 2 years of pay). Owners of Mystic Pizza have also been caught laundering large amounts of money. Do not support this place charging $20 for a large pizza that costs $3 to make and still cuts corners with skimping on employees pay. The food is honestly terrible, cheap tourist trap with no actual concern for quality. Go to pizzeta around the corner on water st instead, you wont be disappointed! #BoycottMysticPizza

We come a few times a year as a day trip to hang out in Mystic and usually end the day with a beer and pizza to share. Famous for the Julia Roberts movie, Mystic Pizza, they have the movie on a constant loop. Their menu is typical pizza pub fare. I wouldnt say its the best pizza ever, but its pretty decent. Weve always been treated with kindness and the pizza is always consistent. I cant compare to other restaurants in the area because we only go to Mystic Pizza when in the area, but its pretty good if you enjoy pizza! If you have a family, I think this would be a cost effective dinner out after the aquarium or seaport! I would definitely recommend here if youve never been!

Love Mystic Pizza and try to stop in once a year on the way home from Maine. Unfortunately, this time around, my friend and I ordered the "Greek" pizza. Mouth on fire!! Turns out some genius had added jalapeno peppers to the topping. Do Greeks eat jalapenos? Were they listed as an ingredient? No and No. After treating our mouths for 3rd-degree burns, we began picking the paper-like bits of pepper out of the topping. Labor-intensive. By the time we were finished, our pizza was stone cold. But the fire in our mouths had cooled too. So, buyer beware! Ask them to hold the jalapenos! Great place otherwise!!!

If you go in expecting incredible artisan pizza, you’ll be disappointed, but for a pretty touristy pizza joint, it’s actually fairly good if you temper expectations. The pizza is definitely a step above delivery chains, and would be a pretty top tier takeout place for most towns. It’s not going to win national acclaim for amazing pizza, but it’s solid. On top of that is the bonus for the kitschy atmosphere and the tie to the movie that launched Julia Roberts’s career. It’s fairly huge inside, but it’s also a popular tourist destination, so go early or be ready for a wait.

Decent seating and interesting atmosphere, and I thought the prices would have been higher. But the pizza wasnt too great. Nothing tasted terrible, but I didnt taste much of anything with some bites. The crust was always spongie and tastleless, and there wasnt much taste from the cheese either. Toppings were good, but how do you have bad-tasting pepperoni? Even the soda tasted like flavored seltzer more than coke or root beer. So, the menu is good, they price well, and you can find seating. Just dont expect to be blown away by the pizza.

This is the most horrid place I have ever been to in my entire life,the waiters we bad they had attitude problems as well as the hostess and the food my god was just I cant explain how bad it was I wouldnt even feed this food to goats or the homeless. I mean the food made me sick later I really wished I could rate this a 0 star. They were so slow in getting you the food. And this place is just so bad I wish it would just vanish. IT SUCKS!!!!!!!!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
