Trivia:
Mystic Pizza is a real pizza parlor, located at 55 West Main St. in Mystic, Connecticut. Writer Amy Jones was vacationing in Mystic one summer, saw the pizza parlor and was inspired to write the story. After the movie came out, the real Mystic Pizza shop became so popular, lines would stretch to the sidewalk and patrons would regularly steal mementos from the restaurant. moreGoofs:
Audio/visual unsynchronized: When Bill is sitting in the bar and Charlie first walks in, the audio of him talking about Charlie does not match up with what it shows him saying. moreQuotes:
Katherine: [almost runs into Daisy, while holding a hot pizza] Watch it, Daisy!Daisy: What? Think I got eyes in my butt?
Katherine: That's where your brains are!

This film was unique for its time. There is actually a place called Mystic, Connecticutt. It's a beautiful town and the director used it well.
Julia Roberts is fresh and sexy. Thank God that this film was made before, Pretty Woman or else there would be no record of Julia's pure beauty before she became a 'star'. The reason to watch this film however are the performances given by Lili Taylor and Vincent D'Onofrio. They film could have been about the relationship between characters. Taylor is 'real' sexy. I'm a big fan. She also delivers one of the most emotionally honest monologues in cinematic history. D'Onofrio delivers a down-to-earth performance of a sensitive male who values love over sex. Also the performance given by the actress who plays the pizzeria's owner is very lovable.
