The village of Mystic, founded in 1654, built and sent whaling ships around the world in the 1800s. But since Oct. 21, 1988, it also has been indelibly associated with pizza.

That is when the coming-of-age film “Mystic Pizza,’’ with 20-year-old Julia Roberts in her breakout role, was released. Filmed locally, the story centers on the love lives of sisters Daisy (Roberts) and Kat Arujo (Annabeth Gish) and their friend Jojo Barboza (Lili Taylor), who all work in the local pizzeria.

Over the years, the real Mystic Pizza shop, which opened in 1973, has become, along with the Mystic Seaport Museum and Mystic Aquarium, one of the village’s main tourist attractions.
