Our Hollywood story kicks off when Mystic Pizza caught the eye of notorious screenwriter, Amy Jones. Jones was summering in the area when her eye caught the drawing atmosphere of Mystic Pizza. The romantic comedy-drama portrays the coming age of three waitress’ working in a pizza parlor; learning the in’s and out’s of love, heartbreak and life. The movie was filmed in Mystic and neighboring towns. “Mystic Pizza” was released in 1988 and carried an effortless charm along with it; even critics such as Siskel and Ebert gave it two thumbs up!

Menu’s and matchbooks disappeared in rapid quantities; cars on Main St. avoided pizza fans snapping photos. The small vicinity could not accommodate the crowds of tourists, locals, family and friends.What was there to do? The answer brings us to our next chapter…
