Moses, Adam Storke, Conchata Ferrell, John Fiore, and Joanna Merlin.The film is set in the working-class Portuguese-American community of Mystic, Connecticut. Kat (Gish) and Daisy (Roberts) are sisters who, along with their best friend Jojo (Taylor), work at the eponymous pizza place run by Leona (Ferrell). Jojo is engaged to be married to Bill (D'Onofrio), who runs a fishing boat, but while she loves Bill, she's not sure she's ready to get married. Kat, the "good" sister who's been accepted to Yale and is working other jobs to help pay for college, takes on a babysitting job and becomes attracted to Tim (Moses), the man she's babysitting for. Finally, Daisy, the "bad" sister, gets involved with Charlie (Storke), a rich guy.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

 Bring My Brown Pants: According to Jojo, she almost pees her pants twice in the film; once, when her parents walk in on her and Bill (see Parents Walk In at the Worst Time below), and second, when Tim's wife comes home while Jojo is babysitting Phoebe while Tim and Kat are out together.

 Caustic Critic / The Dreaded: Hector, the TV gourmet critic. Leona speaks of him disdainfully whenever he's on-screen (Daisy teases her about this), but when he shows up unexpectedly, she ends up watching him eat as worriedly as everyone else. When he leaves after only eating one slice, Leona reverts to calling him a "moron" again. However, he ends up praising the food (if not the service) and there's a promise of increased business because of this.

 Brick Joke: The dress Daisy shows off in front of Kat (that she bought and is going to return after wearing once) is the same one she wears on her first date with Charlie.
