Decent If Not Fantastic

Warning: Spoilers
In the small coastal town of Mystic, Connecticut, there is the title pizzeria run by an elder Portuguese couple with three young women as waitresses, two sisters who don't get along and their friend. The pizza served at the establishment is known to have a secret recipe which makes it especially wonderful, as a food critic in the story points out.

The elder sister is set to go to Yale on a partial scholarship, while the younger one is less responsible and meets a young man from a rich family, hoping he might provide a means for her to leave her small town life. Their friend was set to marry her fiancé, but she fails to go through with it despite the fact the she still wants him. The sisters find romance, but said relationships do not go smoothly.

Rather overlong and predictable, though the movie is notable for Matt Damon's first (minor) movie role and one of Julia Roberts' early starring roles.
