When you think of your favorite restaurants—go ahead, picture them in your mind—are they tucked away behind an enchanting patio, with beautiful Dogwood trees shading you from the sun? Is the ambience warm and inviting, with paintings on the walls, and potted plants hanging from the ceiling? Some of the most notable eateries are in unassuming buildings with plain Formica tables and countertops; many might even have a sleek layer of plastic covering everything from the tables and chairs to the floors, and dining utensils. Antica Forma in Moab, Utah could pass as a seedy motel but it’s also a culinary experience unlike most.
Step into this eatery, and you’ll be greeted by the aroma of freshly baked Neapolitan style pizzas and the warm hospitality of the staff. As you browse the menu at Antica Forma, you’ll be drawn to an array of traditional Italian dishes, with a modern twist. From gourmet pizzas topped with fresh ingredients to homemade pastas cooked to perfection, each dish is a work of art that promises to surprise your taste buds.
At the helm of Antica Forma’s kitchen are passionate chefs who bring years of experience and creativity to every dish they create. Their dedication to using only the finest and freshest ingredients is obvious and is largely why I walked in there to begin with, ensuring a memorable dining experience for everyone.

Whether you’re a local or a visitor exploring the wonders in and around Moab, a visit to Antica Forma Restaurant is a must. Savor each bite, raise a glass of fine wine, and immerse yourself in a lasting culinary experience. But remember, what traditional Italian pizza actually means, you’re not going to get the picturesque pizza that you might find at Pizza Hut. When you walk through the doors of Antica Forma, leave your American sensibilities in the car with a window open, and expect your pizza to be delicious but visually imperfect.
