Mystic Pizza (R), featuring Annabeth Gish and Julia Roberts is a favorite movie of many people. The 1988 film is named after a real- life pizza restaurant in Mystic, Connecticut. Mystic Pizza(R), the restaurant, has become so popular over the years, that a second outlet of the restaurant has been opened in North Stonington, Connecticut. Besides serving excellent pizza pies and other dishes at their two restaurants, Mystic Pizza also produces very good frozen pizzas, which are available in supermarkets everywhere, as well as through their online store.
Four varieties of frozen pizzas are offered by Mystic Pizza(R); Cheese, Fire Roasted Veggie, Pepperoni and Supreme. These delicious pies are packaged in attractive green boxes, accented by a snappy checkerboard pattern and closeup illustrations of each variety of pizza. Mystic Pizza’s(R) catch- phrase “A Slice of Heaven” is also emblazoned on each box of their frozen pies.
The 15- oz Mystic Pizza(R) frozen Cheese Pizza features their trademark delicious pizza sauce topped with a blend of high- quality, all- natural mozzarella, cheddar and romano cheeses. The golden brown, not- too- thick and not- too- thin crust on this pie has a pleasant taste and slightly- chewy texture. This cheese pizza tastes remarkably similar to an honest- to- goodness pizza parlor pie. Nutritionally, this Mystic Pizza(R) contains 360 calories per serving (1/3 pizza), with 140 calories from fat. The 15.8 oz Mystic(R) frozen Pepperoni Pizza also features a delectable crust, topped with a zesty pizza sauce and a combination of mozzarella and white cheddar cheeses. The pepperoni used in making these frozen pies is the same tasty, high- quality pepperoni used at the famous Mystic Pizza(R) restaurant. While the pepperoni topping on many frozen pizzas is often devoid of flavor and / or texture, the pepperoni topping used on the frozen Mystic Pizza(R) Pepperoni variety is every bit as tasty and chewy as any variety of pepperoni to be found at honest- to- goodness pizza parlors. The Mystic Pizza(R) Pepperoni Pizza contains 380 calories, with 160 calories from fat, per 1/3 pizza serving.
The 18 oz frozen Mystic Pizza(R) Supreme variety is a delightful, almost majestic, gem of a frozen pizza. As with their cheese variety, this pizza pie actually looks and tastes like it came from a pizzeria. The delightful Mystic Pizza(R) pizza crust, sauce and cheese are topped with generous amounts of Italian sausage, pepperoni, onions, green and red peppers and black olives. These frozen pies taste so good that they may replace regular trips to the local pizzeria for some frozen pizza connoisseurs. This top- rate frozen pizza contains 290 calories, with 120 calories from fat, per 1/4 pizza serving. The 17.5 oz frozen Mystic Pizza(R) Fire Roasted Veggie pie is a tasty and colorful work of culinary art. This sumptuous frozen pizza features a cornucopia of fire- roasted green, red and yellow peppers, mushrooms and red onions atop a golden brown crust, zesty red sauce and a blend of mozzarella and white cheddar cheeses. Each 1/4 pizza serving contains 240 calories, with 80 calories from fat.
In addition to the afore-mentioned line of full- size frozen pizzas, Mystic Pizza(R) also features a new line of 5″ personal size pizzas, which are available in cheese and pepperoni varieties. For pizza parlor taste, appearance and texture in a frozen pizza, this reviewer highly recommends the Mystic Pizza(R) line of frozen pizzas.
