A Connecticut pizza spot that served as the namesake for an ‘80s cult classic starring Julia Roberts will pay more than $100,000 allegedly owed to more than 100 employees, according to FOX Connecticut.

According to FOX, investigators at the state’s labor department found that some Mystic Pizza employees were paid by more than $3 under Connecticut’s minimum wage. Investigators also found the company failed to properly handle overtime pay.

The range of the violations looks pretty wide, with employees set to receive checks from between $30 to more than $15,000, FOX reports. The shop’s owner will also pay more than $23,000 in fines.
