The film, like pizza in the title, is not nutritious but it is very tasty. [Full review in Spanish]

I enjoyed the friendship between the 3 young women

| Original Score: 6/10 | Jun 3, 2022

It's clear immediately that Mystic Pizza benefits substantially from the efforts of its talented roster of performers...

| Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 22, 2020

Don't be put off by the ambiguous-sounding title and the lack of star names. Mystic Pizza is a marvelously warm and funny comedy-drama that is frankly sentimental but never cloying.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jul 23, 2019

Though the film's heart is in the right place, somehow it all winds up about as flat as one of the celebrated pies at Mystic Pizza. [Blu-ray]

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jul 18, 2011

To put it bluntly, Mystic Pizza is more or less a movie version of a soap opera, layered in with some quirky humor and gigantic '80s hair.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Sep 6, 2010

Genuine and moving.

The only novelty of this familiar small-town coming-of-age saga is that its women are Portugueste-American, but it's laced with humor and well-acted, and the gorgeous-looking Julia Roberts shows strong potential for becoming a major star.

| Original Score: B- | Sep 22, 2007

The story of one summer in the life of ... three lifelong friends ... is sweet and poignant, a thoughtful look at the perils and joys of falling in love.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Oct 21, 2006

Thanks to sensitive direction by Petrie, the result is a thoroughly involving movie that doesn't resort to violence, sex or schmaltz to pack an emotional punch.

Coming-of-age story flirts with melodrama but is saved by wonderful performances.

Delightful comedy-drama gave the luminous Roberts her first substantial role

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 21, 2003

One of the most charming coming of age movies ever made.

Full Review | Original Score: 5/5 | Sep 12, 2003

A wacky and wonderful movie about three young women friends and their misadventures with love and sex.

| Jul 10, 2003

Though in essence this is little more than a girls' romance novel brought to life, it has been filled with heart and humor.
