Mystic Connecticut

-

Mystic, Connecticut is a charming seaside community nestled between New York and Boston that is quite the vacation spot but also well known for the Famous movie Mystic Pizza and offers shops, restaurants and some of the best homemade ice cream I've ever tasted! 

Ever since I was a little girl my family and I would find ourselves in Mystic which is why I love it so much because it feels just like home to me.  It's a quaint little town that's filled with fresh local seafood, crave worthy pizza, a beautiful beach scenery, and homemade ice cream shops ! Mom and I stayed overnight at The Hampton Inn during our stay while in Mystic and we couldn't have felt more right at home. As soon as we walked through the door upon checkin we felt right at home it was comfortable, clean, and charming.

After mom and I checked into the hotel we got in the car and drove just a short distance to downtown Seaport in Mystic and were getting rather hungry looking when the most delicious aroma of Pizzetta's brick oven pizza greeted us through the air.


Pizzetta

Located in
the heart of Downtown Mystic nearby the famous "Mystic Pizza" is Pizzetta Pizza that offers a family friendly environment and yes that includes four legged pups as well. Discover the taste of their thin crust rustic brick oven pizza with all sorts of toppings to choose from that are made from fresh from local ingredients along with delicate cuts of meat, herbs, spices and cheeses! Pizzetta offers Gluten and Dairy Free options as well which is great. If you are ever in the Mystic, Connecticut area and are craving pizza Pizzetta is the place to go for good food and live music!

When it comes to pizza there is no comparison to Pizzetta's maybe it's their woodfire grilled crust or the fact that their ingredients are fresh and locally sourced that provide both great texture and flavor to the pizza. I absolutely loved their crust it offered a slight smoky taste that was phenomenal that was thin and cooked to perfection. My mom and I split a small pizza on her half she had marinated chicken with onions and mozzarella cheese whereas I had olives, marinated chicken and onions on mine with goat cheese. The marinated chicken was tender and offered a slight smoky flavor that paired perfectly with the creaminess of the cheese and crisp of the crust!


Mystic Drawbridge Ice Cream Shoppe :
Stop in for a sweet treat at Mystic Drawbridge Ice Cream where they make delicious ice creams using the finest of ingredients in all sorts of flavors ranging from classic such as vanilla , chocolate to fruity and nutty with Jamaican Me Nutty to creamy coconut. Ever since I was a little girl when my family and I were in Mystic we would always stop at the Drawbridge for ice cream it was the perfect way to end the night with a sweet treat! So when in town that's what we did was stop at The Drawbridge and ordered mint chocolate chunk, with a scoop of oreo and coffee to satisfy our sweet tooth before heading to the shops and a movie at the theater located nearby.



On the morning of checkout we enjoyed a delicious continental breakfast which offered a wide variety of cereals, oatmeal, bagels, pastries ,hard boiled eggs, sausage, French toast, waffles, fruit plus juice coffee and tea!

Watermelon Road Dried Fruit Jerky

It all began with Founder of Watermelon Road Fruit snacks Jamie who was like us were brought up on diets filled with prepared conscience foods and processed ingredients . When Jamie's friends had fallen ill to autoimmune diseases in their 20's it was then she knew her ways of eating had to change and she then realized that when avoiding those processed foods it had a huge impact on her husbands ankylosing spondylitis symptoms. They then made lifestyle changes in ridding the family diet of processed foods and swapped them with whole, and cleaner easy to pronounce ingredients and when Jamie became a mom she was solely oriented toward healthier ways of living by providing her family with snacks that were  packed  with nutrients and also fun to eat.
