despite the wacky title, pizza my heart tells a very familiar story. it’s a modernization of romeo & juliet, with the warring families being rivaled pizza - makers: the prestolanis, who claim that their family made the first pizza delivery ever in history, and the montebellos, who the prestolanis claim stole the delivery idea from them hundreds of years ago. in other words, someone was reading shakespeare, got hungry, ordered a pizza… and decided to meld their reading material and eating material into a screenplay .

once you included that line of dialogue about a tomato, i knew i was skipping this one! and if it means anything to the state of the world, to me the ‘pizza’ in the title means ‘piece of’…get it? ‘piece of my heart’! ha ha! sheesh…i wonder how many production dollars were spent by the filmmakers to come up with that .

okay, i may have cheated a little here. mystic pizza wasn’t filmed in mystic pizza. rather, the restaurant was the inspiration for the movie. the filming did, for the most part, take place in mystic, ct. the scenes inside the restaurant had to be filmed on a set because the real location was too small .
that’s the plan for now. i have a couple of contacts, that i got from my hollywood producer contacts, who are in rome, and apparently were location scouts for the film. so, i might be able to narrow it down further before i leave for sicily in june .

it’s being established now that the two rival families are the montebellos and the prestolanis. i have a feeling at least one of them will have the name mario. okay, here comes the good stuff. we got a montage of the two restaurants making pizza. this is borderline pornographic. it would be so much better if the worst song in the world wasn’t playing. it sounds like incubus, but if jack johnson was the lead singer of inbucus? basically it’s crap, and it’s ruining my enjoyment of staring at pizza .
now we got this carlo character (he works at the pizza joint) who everyone wants gina to marry, but annette is obviously in love with him and gina could care less about him .
vermont generally appears on film as the perfect winter wonderland. however, as new englanders know, winter is not always so picturesque and the weather hardly cooperates with our wishes. therefore, scenes like this often get shot on a lot in hollywood. there hasn’t been much film bustle in vermont in recent years, but it was the scene of a few classics .

‘i remember my first scene with alan rickman and i was anxious because he is a slight “method” actor; as soon as he is in his cloak, he walks and talks like snape — it is quite terrifying. but i really wanted to talk to him because robin hood was one of my favourite films .
now they’re all at some town feast called the feast of saint gennaro [ vince’s note: it’s called “the feast of san gennaro, ” and yes, it’s a real thing. jeez, these jews and their - a stinkin a - cultural ignorance. * bites hand * ]. this is where the 368 pizza boxes come in to play. obviously, the families set up their booths right across from each other, and of course both of them came up with the idea to stack up a bunch of pizza boxes and call it the “leaning tower of pizza”. each accuses the other of stealing the brilliant and original idea .
‘and to me, fame is not a positive thing. the idea of being famous is a lot better than the reality. it’s fantastic when you go to premieres and people cheer you, but it’s not real. and it’s totally not my approach to get my name on a club door just because i can. ’

one of the more violent scenes takes place in the motel where driver and blanche hide out after the pawn shop job goes south. refn chose the pink motel to be the film location because of its dated, eye - catching interiors. the pink motel is no stranger to hollywood. it has been the film locations for movies and tv series such as dexter, the oc, and the whole ten yards .
now back inside the prestolani restaurant a bunch of prestolani kids are asking why they must hate people they don’t even know. papa prestolani goes into a long spiel about how awful the montebellos are for stealing their idea for the pizza. that’s right, pizza was a prestolani creation, and the montebellos went and snatched it hundreds of years ago. i’m feeling comforted that these children are taught blind hatred early in life. it’s a family tradition !

another romantic comedy genre movie, pizza my heart (2005), directed by andy wolk, is another movie that i would like to watch again. it is light; it is funny; it is all about love (and all the cliches, but well – i still like it ;) ); and it is all about hot guys ;). hmm, have i mentioned that the guy, joe montebello (eyal podell) is so hot? maybe i haven’t. and have i told you that i like guys who cook? (it’s because of masterchef australia…) and guess what? eyal podell in this movie is a top chef as well! lol

‘my mum told me: “you have worked hard for it so get what you want, but beware, you will lose money on cars. ” and she was right. ’
super - corny dialogue, an incredibly silly battle of the pizzas and plenty of drawn - out, love - lorn gazes between gina and joe in slow motion bring the cheese to the film. my favorite snippet of dialogue is a tomato metaphor for joe’s attraction to gina: “it’s like all these years you’ve been looking for the perfect tomato, and all along the perfect tomato’s been growing right next door! ”
i’m an american expat, teaching a film appreciation course in english, in warsaw, poland. i use the godfather trilogy extensively. i’m off to sicily shortly, and would like to get some help finding some shooting locations there .
joe is going to make dinner for them. i’m very glad this movie is following the rom - com first date rulebook to the t. joe is talking about how he wants to be a world - class chef, not just some guy who makes pizza. excuse me, joe, are you the worst human being imaginable or what? what kind of idiot does not know that pizza is a blessing from god? you get to create miracles everyday and now you want to throw that all away ?
because of an old family feud, the prestolanis and the montebellos have taken to extremes their fight over who truly has the best pizza. the situation is about to come to a head when joe prestolani meets gina montebello and they begin a secret romance .
what the hell, the prestolanis have a little boy working for them too, and he doesn’t even have a bicycle. he literally just runs away with the box of pizza. i can’t stop laughing at how stupid that is. i need more vodka .
no. joe folds like a good montebello. now the french guy is like, man is your sauce this good? he’s losing his shit. he’s talking about turning his pizza place into a franchise. let’s start a franchise baby. money talks sweetheart .
oh no! joe found out the french guy tried the wrong pizza, and now frenchy doesn’t know if he should franchise the prestolonis or the montebellos. i knew that smell i was smelling was trouble. whose sauce have you been tasting, gina prestolani ?
i finished the drink, and am now making the same thing again. this time with a lot more vodka. i also ate half of a reese’s peanut butter cup and took my birth control pill. i’m told that the best writing does not leave out any details, which is exactly what i am doing here for you. also my pajama shirt has five different yellow stains on it. i won’t explain why there are so many yellow stains on my shirt, because i am told that the best writers leave out some details to create what is known as mystery .
3 comments: first: believe peyton place producer / director wanted the film to be made in woodstock vermont, but the locals did not want such a movie to be made using woodstock in the background. second: could the mansion used a hospital in: cider house rules” be in the berkshires? third: my brother and his friend were returning from trimming trees, with the saw in the back of a nash metropolitan. they were stopped in concord, mass. during the filming of “never too late”. they were asked if they wanted to be in a movie? the said sure. the person asked them to keep looking straight ahead where they were filming. my brother saw the move but he and the car were not in the movie. my brother sid “he was a face on the cutting room floor” .
i really love your scoutingny site, thanks so much for all the work you’ve put into this. i’m going up to nyc in a couple of days and it should really come in handy for some nyc film site pilgrimages that i’ll be making .
i am really loving these over - the - top jersey accents. okay, papa prestolani is saying something about the montebellos making 300 pizza pies at some feast, so he says this year they’re making 368. why 368 exactly? is this some sort illuminati thing ?
, in fact, known each other their whole lives. well, joe is a great chef, and wants to open his own restaurant, but instead he has had to work at the family pizzeria, since his father vinnie had a heart attack several years ago (i think), and now can' t work so much .
when this film was shot, a friend of mine was doing his medical residency at new york eye and ear hospital and i thought i remembered him telling me the interior hospital room scene was shot there one night. the st george fell on hard times, i think it was an abandoned bar even when coppola shot there, it was a strip club for a while in the 1980s. you could still see the art deco etched glass even then that is visible in the scene in the film. i never heard of mitchel being referred to as mitchel air force base, always referred to it as mitchel field. the toll booth was supposed to be the old tolls at the loop parkway that used to exist to enter the meadowbrook. great research on this film .
seeing the abc fam logo slapped on the corner of the poster also attracted me to the film. the network is known for churning out incredibly fluffy little films with less - than - award - worthy performances, and i’m known for enjoying these awful movies .

awesome blog! keep up the good work! if anyone is looking for a way to get a college degree online, here is a link: urltoken. just throwing my 2 cents :) best to all !
we know a man my husband knew from his work, who worked with my husband at his company, who grew up in mystic, ct. he showed us “the real mystic pizza” many years ago! !! !! !! !! !! !! i also know the young lady who played kat in that movie has the last name gish. while i attended unh the college hired many people to give free performances. one of those performances was given by lillian gish, who was 90 years “young” at that time. she was a very petite and very pretty, with a very sweet face, lady. kat most likely is one of her descendents. kat does not look anything like lillian, however !
tom has already won several parts in other films (he is currently ­starring in a movie about golf and recently worked on a new planet of the apes film), but feels he has to work harder than ever as he almost has to start again in his career .
i found the actual gravestone used in the film many years ago at fasolino monuments nearby the cemetery. they either sold or donated it to a school in long island city. my wife and i saw it in a lobby near some elevators there, but i haven’t visited there in years. also, i haven’t read all the posts, but supposedly, the barber shop “moe greene” scene was shot at the st. regis hotel. hence the st. r on the window outside the shop .
- there' s really only so many basic stories that can exist. the main character is trying to get somewhere (the odyssey), get something (the legend of the golden fleece), win someone' s heart (the iliad), get revenge (cain and abel) or save the world (bill and ted' s excellent adventure) .

charismatic clooney: the ever - suave actor / filmmaker cranked up the candour while promoting his directorial effort, “suburbicon. ” freshly bronzed from being at the venice international film festival for the film’s premiere, he was a consummate pro, making much time for the media and tackling a range of subjects, from the trump administration, to recently putting his dog down and what it’s like to take on diaper duty for his newborn twins with wife amal. clooney also charmed star - gazers on the red carpet, including a grandmother who grabbed his chin in a photograph that went viral .
tres jolie: superstar angelina jolie surprised everyone by arriving at the premiere of her cambodian genocide drama “first they killed my father” with all six of her children. it was her most public appearance since filing for divorce from brad pitt .
“lady bird”: there’s no shortage of movies about quirky, rebellious teens but writer - director greta gerwig crafts a vibrant, authentic take on the pangs of youth with “lady bird. ” saoirse ronan is electric and relatable as a sacramento teen who insists she be called lady bird and is fixated on escaping to new york for college. she’s bold and outlandish, but deeply insecure about money and social status, while her deftly drawn friends never feel like cardboard heroes or villains. but the heart of the film is lady bird’s intense relationship with her stalwart but devoted mother, played by a riveting laurie metcalf. rarely are mother - daughter dynamics seen with such complexity and painful honesty .
refn picked the valley, echo park and downtown l. a. as the three main film locations for drive. “because i didn’t have a lot of money to shoot the movie with i decided to come up with these three hubs, where i would shoot the film: one was in echo park, one was in the valley, and one was in downtown l. a, ” shares the director. “that’s how when you do these low budget movies, you always have to think economically. so i decided that those were the places where i would find the locations within. ”
what the f * ck is happening right now? are these idiots for real? the montebello’s delivery boy is literally a little boy on a bicycle. are there not labor laws that ban this? what if he crashes and gets hurt? or worse, ruins the pizza? i am already on the prestolani’s side .
timothee chalamet: this relative newcomer was a breakout star of the fest for his triple - whammy of buzzworthy films. the 22 - year - old ran a victory lap with “call me by your name, ” the brooding love story between two men which captivated audiences earlier this year at the sundance film festival, then he grabbed praise as a selfish high schooler in “lady bird. ” meanwhile, he supported christian bale in the brutal western drama “hostiles. ” and his streak isn’t over. he’s also scored a role alongside selena gomez in the latest woody allen film, which began shooting this week .
that gina, just filling her mouth with any sauce she trips over. she’s up to her elbows in strange sauce. but i guess if i had a set of cheese like hers i’d make my way around venice a couple time too .
“i was just making a plea to my friends and family and asking them to spread the message of love and understanding for all, ” bezzant wrote. “the message isn’t just for jackson, it’s for all kids who are experience bullying. ”
in the movie, this peaceful, golden afternoon (my favorite scene from drive) is accompanied by the melodic, hypnotic tune a real hero. i could watch this scene over and over without getting tired of it. it’s quite magical .
scout: outstanding work for your godfather photos and historical research. your untiring efforts made to investigate the facts behind each scene are certainly appreciated, especially those associated with sonny’s demise at the tolls booths. viewing each photo, combined with your subtitles, was similar to being taken back into the original film .
two italian families own competitive pizza restaurants and have had an ongoing family feud since long ago in the' old country'. the son and daughter of each opposing family fall in love, but not without strong disapproval of their parents. romeo and juliet with a happy ending. it takes place in modern day verona, new jersey .
very enjoyable site on one of my all - time favorite films. one error in a scene description – the boardroom scene would have been the new york central railroad – the penn central, which included the new york central, was created in 1968 .
one of the most graphic scenes of the movie takes place at nino’s pizzeria where nino (ron perlman) uses as his office. we’re first introduced to nino’s pizzeria when shannon comes to ask bernie rose (albert brooks) to invest in driver for car racing. the real life restaurant standing in for nino’s pizzeria is vincenzo’s pizza on balboa boulevard .
man, i want a feud so bad. also, another drink. i chugged this bad boy down. i think for my stomach’s sake i should stick to vodka. i’m pouring yet another vodka and diet 7 - up. sorry i’m so boring .
‘i bought a lot of rubbish things that kids buy: skateboards and clothes and typical teenage stuff, ’ he says. ‘and, as soon as i could, i wasted a lot of money on cars — bmws mostly — for myself and my family .
as always, fantastic scout! all the more so as this has been my favorite movie since i was about 17. perhaps the part 2 nyc locations as a follow up? and once the la and italy posts are up, please let us know !
welcome to “rum and rom - coms”. basically what this is, is i watch a romantic comedy and get drunk while doing so. at the end, i give the film a rating according to how drunk i had to get in order to finish watching it. the higher the number, the worse the movie is .

allison, my biggest beef here is the “vodka and diet 7 - up” – just go with vodka soda and keep a squeeze bottle of lime juice in the fridge, then you won’t have to say things like, “i drink vodka and diet 7 - up” .
‘my parents did what they could, but when money is thrust upon you so are a load of other things: tax, vat, mortgages — things a 16 - year - old really doesn’t know ­anything about. i got myself into a bit of trouble .
‘that night was terrifying, ’ he says. ‘i didn’t enjoy one minute of it. ­winning was the biggest surprise of all, and although it was a huge h­onour, my initial thought was one of terror that i would have to make an acceptance speech .
in 2013, “the judge” staring, robert duvall and robert downey jr. was filmed in shelburne falls ma. two years later, “labor day” staring josh brolin and kate winslet was fimed in 2012. in my opinion one of the best little towns in massachusetts !
your forgot camden me: payton place was shot in camden maine and many residents were hired as extras. we were children at the time. we were part of the crowd. my brother had an old car that he drove in the parade. my neighbor’s daughter played a part as selena. she had to roll down a step hill as a stand in and ended up with quite a case of poison ivy. in the hallmark channel movies there is a shot of downtown camden that is used over and over in different movies .
massachusetts is booming with film activity — it’s no wonder the boston / cambridge area is sometimes referred to as “hollywood east. ” a lengthy list of films have used this state as a location. just to give you an idea: flowers in the attic (1987), who’s afraid of virginia woolf (1996), the fighter (2010), ted (2012), captain phillips (2013), the heat (2013), the judge (2014), black mass (2015), spotlight (2015), ghostbusters (2016) — and that’s just scratching the surface. making a final selection was tough, but these film locations won’t disappoint .
' hi. i' m linda o' keefe... 45 years ago today, i disappeared and my killer was never found': police tweet as the 11 - year - old girl who was murdered in 1973 in a bid to publicize the cold case
in addition to the understated, top - notch acting caliber of its two main stars ryan gosling and carey mulligan, drive has another winning combination - its minimal but effective script, its pulsating eurovision soundtrack of synth - based melodies, and its haunting film locations … showcasing the gritty, real - life neighborhoods of los angeles rarely mentioned in guide books .
when hitchcock got to craftsbury to film the trouble with harry, he found that the maple leaves had already begun to turn brown and fall. the art department had to have the leaves painted so that the leaves would not be past peak. the little boy in the first scene and throughout the movie is none other than jerry mathers aka beaver cleaver .
the barbershop has a logo on the glass that appears to be that of the st regis hotel, so that would be my guess. and is that is right, then the scenes of clemenza climbing the stairs and shooting stracci look like they were also filmed in the st regis .
by the time the godfather was filmed, all us churches would have made the change in the orientation of the altar, so the way it is set for the film was probably a special staging to reflect the way it would have looked in the 1940s. the baptismal font was probably still separate in the 1970s, but that tradition is no longer prevalent .
connecticut, with its proximity to new york city, is second only to massachusetts when it comes to film activity. many well - known films have hit its streets, among them: mr. deeds (2002), jacknife (1989), the stepford wives (1975), and indiana jones and the kingdom of the crystal skull (2008) .
films set in new hampshire are an eclectic mix, most of which involve adam sandler. but films that actually use new hampshire as a location? well, there aren’t too many. however, if you live here (or if you’ve taken a film class at keene state college), you won’t fail to hear about the state’s several claims to fame .
time for more vodka. i’m sick of diet 7 - up so i’m mixing my vodka with club soda. i’m drunk enough to the point where vodka does not taste like vodka, so really i’m just drinking club soda that happens to have vodka in it. does that make sense ?
i like how the italian family names in romeo & juliet weren’t italian enough so they changed them. can’t wait for more of this, hopefully i’ll be off my no - alcohol - diet for the next one…and hopefully i’ll read it at night so i don’t look like a sad drunk .
my first communion party in 1964 was at luigi’s – that s what it was called - restaurant in white plains road. i remember it so clearly cause it was a special occasion restaurant for our family. i remember seeing it in the movie when it first came out. loved that place!
