In 1973, the Zelepo's opened Mystic Pizza with a secret recipe that led them to success. The walls of the real Mystic Pizza are covered in photographs which had been taken during production. Although it doesn't look anything like the one in the movie, it became so popular that it could barely keep up with the pizza demand. People lined up on the sidewalk to eat at this place. Menus and matches were disappearing all the time. Not too long ago, a line of frozen pizzas was developed that matches the Mystic Pizza recipe. They are only available in the States.Rewind Archive

In Mystic Pizza, JoJo (Lily Taylor) has issues with marrying her boyfriend (Vincent D'Onofrio) However, in the film "Household Saints", Lily Taylor plays Therese Santangelo to Vincint D'Onofrio's Joseph Santangelo...except that she plays his DAUGHTER!Thanks to Christine Peterson, And Many Others
Lily Taylor has also starred in "Say Anything with John Cusack, as the Joe obsessed aspiring singer ("I have 65 songs and they are all about Joe..."). Judging from her name in Mystic Pizza, her father's name in Household Saints and Joe from Say Anything as her obsession...am I seeing a pattern here?Thanks to Annalise
