pizzetta: The Other Mystic Pizza

pizzetta pizza: it's all about the crust. Louie and Mark Esposito had raved long and hard about a pizzeria in Mystic, Connecticut. They were so persistent about how good the pizza was, I listed pizzetta on the Best Pizza in Connecticut page . Here is what Louie said about the pizza: "thin crispy crunchy and the combination of toppings are mouth watering delectable. The first bite literally stopped me in my tracks. Truly the guy makes an exceptional pie.." Mark echoed his words by explaining: " Chris Owens certainly is on a noble mission and makes an equally noble pie. Chris makes a thin crispy crust that holds up very well with all the fresh and natural toppings. Pizzetta Pizza is a cut above, another star in the constellation of great pizza pies." As part of The Pizza Therapy East Coast Pizza Tour 2009 , I stopped by and ordered a pizza. The Espositos were not exaggerating. The pie was thin, crispy, and excellent. I was most impressed with the simplicity o...

The Greatest Pizza Movies of All Time

Discover the greatest Pizza Movies of All Time right here. I nominate Pizza, the movie by Micheal Dorian as a true standout. This movie covers all types of pizza, including New Haven, New York, Chicago and California Pizza. Dorian leaves no pizza box unopened as he tries to reveal the truth about america's favoirte food. Another nomination is the quirky, Driver's Wanted. This is a very funny look at the life and times of Pizza Delivery Drivers. A great film. I also give an honorable mention to Mystic Pizza. Enjoy...

The True Backstory of Mystic Pizza

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...
