I recently reviewed my favorite Pizza Movies of all time. You can watch the review here. One of the films I mention is Mystic Pizza . Mystic Pizza was somewhat of a cult movie in that it launched the career of Julia Roberts , who had a leading role in the film. Also featured was Anabeth Gish, and Lili Taylor. The film is less of a pizza movie and more of a coming of age movie analyzing the cultural and female struggles of three high school friends who work at a pizza place. While pizza is featured in the movie, pizza is more of a backdrop for the relationship story. It really is an innocent movie. And I did enjoy it... Although, I give Mystic Pizza , an honorable mention, I may have to re-think my position after uncovering an article published in The Day Newspaper (New London, Connecticut) on Sunday October, 19, 2008. The story written by Kenton Robinson , was an eye opener. Mystic , itself has a piece of my heart because I grew up and went to high school in Southeastern Connecticut...

I couldn't believe it. Here I was back at my favorite pizza place in the world, Pepe's Pizzeria. We could hardly wait to order. Of course, we ordered the famous clam pizza. We wanted to try something a little different so we got half pepperoni and have bacon. OK we had ordered this before, but it was like the first time! The pizza was as usual fantastic. I am always amazed at the incredible consistency and quality of Pepe's pizza. I just love the taste! I was able to vist with Gary Bimonte , a true Legend of Pizza. . Gary ,was his usual positive self. I even did a short interview with him. He explained Pepe's , will be opening another location in Manchester, Connecticut. I had to ask him about a Pepe's in Hawaii... he said that "would be a beautiful thing". I can keep dreaming about that one! I had to order a large pepperoni to go. We had it for breakfast. It was still great the next day... I am very excited to be back in New England. I plan on continuing...
