Mystic Pizza

Start your journey off strong at Mystic Pizza. Fashions might have changed, but rest assured that the humble seaside joint behind the 1988 namesake Julia Roberts flick still lives up to the “slice of heaven” tagline. Since 1973, the shop has served up its proprietary family recipe to the masses, becoming so big that they’ve even launched their own line of frozen pies available at grocery stores across the nation. Grab a booth inside the retro, momento-lined space and order the House Special, a gut-busting mix of pepperoni, meatball, sausage, green peppers, onions, and mushrooms smothered in mozzarella and perched atop the joint’s signature pillowy, delightfully chewy crust.
