There were a lot of intriguing options to choose from. I had the chilaquiles ($15) and a Cacio Pepe doughnut ($4). The chilaquiles had corn tortilla chips, salsa Verde, salsa Macha, cotija, white onion, cilantro, and a fried egg. The chips appeared to be homemade, and they were tremendous along with the salsa Verde and Macha. There was a nice kick to the salsas and a perfect crunch from the chips. However, it just felt like the dish was mostly chips. I felt like more toppings could be added or an additional egg. The fried egg was also a little overcooked, guess when ordering, we could have specified how we wanted it to be cooked. The doughnut was okay. The sourdough base was very solid, but essentially just a lot of cheese on top. I was not sure what to expect regarding this type of doughnut, but this was the least optimal choice. Will I go back? I would.

The hosts and our server Mike were great- very friendly and attentive. We liked how the menus offered some backstory on the restaurant, and the upstairs TV had the famous movie playing on a loop.

Not bad but not lifechanging. Nonetheless a decent meal, and everything else made our experience great.

The first thing I noticed was how incredibly clean the restaurant was. Everything was spotless and sparkling, which made a great first impression. The service was outstanding. Our waitress was bubbly, cheerful, and wore the biggest smile the entire time we were there. She checked on us often without ever being intrusive and genuinely made us feel welcome. As for the food, I think Mystic Pizza sometimes gets an unfair reputation. Is it the best pizza I've ever had? No. But it's definitely good .... you just have to order the right things. The seafood pizza was surprisingly delicious and one I'd happily order again. One thing I would skip, however, is the garlic knots. Unfortunately, they were so hard they were difficult to eat. The only other suggestion I'd make is to update some of the movie posters. Many have become sun-faded over the years, and replacing them would really brighten the space and enhance the nostalgic atmosphere. Overall, don't come expecting the greatest pizza of your life. Come because it's an iconic piece of movie history with friendly service, a spotless dining room, and a fun atmosphere. If you keep those expectations in mind, I think you'll leave happy. Also the whalers seltzer ( blueberry lemonade) is phenomenal!!!!

Their menu has plenty of classics, but what really surprised me were the standouts: the spaghetti pizza and the Philly cheese rolls. The spaghetti pizza sounds unusual at first, but it totally works -- hearty, cheesy, and surprisingly well-balanced. It's the kind of dish you order out of curiosity and end up finishing because it's just that satisfying. The Philly cheese rolls were another hit: crispy on the outside, packed with flavor inside, and perfect for sharing... or not sharing. Service is friendly, portions are generous, and the prices feel fair for what you get. The only reason I'm giving four stars instead of five is that the wait times can run a bit long during busy hours. Still, the food makes it worth it. Definitely a solid local spot with some fun menu surprises. I'll be back.

The Back Door Kitchen & Pizzeria is a wood-fired pizzeria and restaurant that opened in Stonington,…read moreConnecticut in March 2024. It was founded by culinary couple Johan Jensen and Abbey Hemmann. Johan is a native of Denmark while Abbey is a Connecticut native. The two met in Cape Cod and eventually got married on White Crest Beach in Wellfleet. In July 2019, the couple opened their first restaurant, Whitecrest Eatery, at the Velvet Mill in Stonington. The historic building was originally home to the American Velvet Company, which operated from 1892 to 1996. Today it is a multipurpose building that is home to a thriving community of small businesses and artist studios. The American bistro with a weekly-changing menu soon won numerous awards and accolades. By 2024, the couple opened a new restaurant in the Velvet Mill. This time they would focus on artisanal wood-fired sourdough pizza as well as sandwiches, salads, and other delicious treats. Named for the "back door" of the Velvet Mill, the pizzeria soon won its own accolades. My sons and I recently had lunch at Back Door. I've visited the Velvet Mill numerous times, but this was my first visit since Back Door opened. After looking of the menu, we all decided to order and share the "Margherita" (fresh mozzarella, basil, tomato sauce, EVOO) and the "CBR" (house ranch, bacon, chicken, mozzarella, cherry tomatoes, everything spice, lemon, dill). After ordering, we picked a table right by the pick-up window so we could watch the kitchen crew at work. Both pizzas had great crust that was crispy on the outside and yet chewy on the inside. The fresh ingredients gave the pies some rich flavors with a nice smoky finish. I really liked the "Margherita", but it was the topping combo on the "CBR" that left me really impressed. I washed everything down with a bottle of locally-produced Hosmer Mountain Birch Beer. We were all very happy with our lunch. Before leaving, my younger son had a delicious "Sea Salt Chocolate Chip Cookie". He was nice enough to offer me and my older son a bite. We were impressed with Back Door and hope to return in the future!
