Road Trip Day 9: Mystic, CT, Part 1

After arriving in Mystic, CT, and making arrangements at what would later be known as the worst hotel stay of our trip, we headed into town to find Mystic Pizza. It wasn't hard to find, actually, because it's a pretty small town and the restaurant is on Main Street. You may know Mystic Pizza because it is the name of the movie that starred Julia Roberts in the late '80s. When we arrived, Jen read the sign: "Mystic Pizza: A Slice of Heaven" and then said, "I'll be the judge of that."

On the recommendation of our server, who had top-notch customer service skills, we decided to share a Caesar Salad and a House Pizza, which had sausage, meatball, green peppers and onions. Needless to say, the meal aimed to pleased. The pizza crust reminded us a little of Pizza Hut's style, but generally speaking for a thicker slice, this was one of the best pizzas I ever had. It wasn't overloaded with sauce, which is how I like it, and the cheese was melted to the perfect point. We felt the choice of meats and veggies was good too - overall, in fact, a little slice of heaven. Jen concurred.

After dinner, we headed back to the worst hotel ever and settled in to watch the Phillies game on ESPN. In about the 5th inning, we busted out one of Mike's cannolis we purchased in Boston. Another great night.
