Yep.  They recently redid it; added an upstairs.  The pizza *is* good, but
my wife has developed an aversion to it so we don't go there too often
anymore.  There is also a "Mystic Pizza II" strategically placed
between I-95 and Foxwoods Casino, but she developed an aversion the *that*
one even earlier.  And God forbid I should want a real NJ pizza when we're
visiting!  She doesn't like grease, when everyone knows if it's not
drooling down the back of your hand as you eat, it's not real pizza.

Sad to say, the further north you go the worse it gets.  I was stationed in
Kittery, Maine (Portsmouth Naval Shipyard) for a while-- really nice place,
but awful pizza.  Around here it is usually "Greek" pizza--
pizzerias run by Greeks rather than Italians.  They eat them with knife and
fork.

There is the famous Pepe's in New Haven, supposedly the best of the best:
never been there (although you can tell I feel strongly about my pizza!)
but I have had the products of some of their acolytes, and it's okay... not
like I remember from my youth, but close.
