    Tree Hugger pizza with chicken
    Denneane C.

    We love Zax. Have loved it for years and years. We miss the buffet and salad bar though. We've always had the best experience with food, service and atmosphere. You just can't miss.

    If you are wondering what to order, there are a bunch of burgers on the menu. We watched a lot of meals be delivered to tables and all the food looked great! It is a large restaurant on one side a bar and on the other lots of tables for all sized groups. The bacon burger is what you want to order as it is large and tasty! My table mate loved it with the fries! The beer cheese soup is made in house and I had high expectations. But I would only rate it a 2 out of 5. Pizza was a great deal as it was the daily special for only 12$ with one topping and comes with honey. Pretty neat as I had never heard of dipping the thick crust in honey but it was delicious. The place is pretty cool vibe and you can tell they have a lot of regulars! Our waitress spent a ton of time talking to people that have turned into friends that frequently visit and sadly ignored our table most of the evening. It felt like all we did was wait. Drinks were served, then we waited 20 minutes for the waitress to return to take our order. Our food delivered to the table super fast which was unexpected. Then we enjoyed our meal and waited another 20+ minutes for the check. It was ridiculously slow and the restaurant was not crowded. So if you have a lot of time and don't mind chilling for over an hour and a half for a meal, this is the spot!

    We stopped in for dinner after spending the day at Arches National Park. Fair warning: we had a looong wait before we got a table. It was a holiday weekend, and a Sunday night, AND the place was solid, so I can't really complain necessarily. But if you're starving and need a quick bite, I'd look into getting a reservation if you can or find a place a bit more off the beaten path. However, once we were in it was great! Plenty of TVs on the walls all around to watch sports, your typical sports bar menu, which is great if that's what you're looking for. The servers were very friendly and pretty attentive given how busy it was. Our pizza came out reasonably quick as well, and tasted great. As I said, I would be ready for a wait if you're here at a busy time, but it's a good spot nonetheless! Intestinal Impact Index Rating: 3/5 Pizza and Beer, you aren't quite in the clear

    This is a good, family-friendly restaurant in the heart of downtown Moab. It's a big, spacious establishment with a bar area, a patio area, and 2nd level dining area facing the roadside. We came here for dinner. The restaurant was busy but we were able to get a booth table soon. We ordered one 14" pizza with half Spicy Chicken Alfredo and half Sam's Italian Stallion, Garlic Knots, a Clam Chowder, a Fettuccine Alfredo, and a Kiitos Blackberry Sour beer. The beer came first and then the food arrived shortly. The pizza was good. The Italian Stallion was better than the Spicy Chicken Alfredo. The crust was nice. The blackberry sour was very refreshing, the clam chowder was decent, the garlic knots were tasty and the Fettuccine Alfredo was decent as well. The restaurant menu is good, they sell merchandise, their bar is nice and had a good atmosphere. We received good, friendly service. We had a good experience. Check them out.

    This place is right in downtown Moab and has beautiful views of the surrounding scenery. It's perfect on a summer night to sit on the second floor patio. For being in a tourist town, the service was super quick and friendly. Food was really good! Portions and prices are perfect!

    Food was ok, nothing I would probably get again. The beer cheese soup had potatoes in it which were not quite cooked (and overall was a pretty bland soup), the pizza, I suspect, had a pre-made crust. Overall, not worth the price.

    The service was a bit slow but after a long day I can see why. So many bikers here which was cool. The food was good whe. We got it. The inside was so busy not sure how clean it was.

    Stopped in for a late lunch after a nice morning trip to Arches National Park. Decor was nice and the restaurant was clean and spacious. We were a group of 8 and they were able to seat us right away. Pizza is a definite must here and the other reviews raving about their pizza is true! Soooooo good. Unfortunately, I felt we were being rushed to finish and leave. Plates and platters were being taken while we were still finishing up. We don't take up long times at tables because we're a big group and are conscientious for the wait staff to cycle in more people to get more tips so I didn't think they needed to move us out like that. Overall, the food really saved the experience and is why I'm giving a 4 instead of 5.

    The pizza here was amazing and exceeded our expectations! We were starving from an Arches hike so…read morefor a group of 4, we ordered the pistachio pizza, provola pizza, and meat lovers. They were a hit! Be warned: these are not personal pizzas; this can easily be shared with 2-3 people. We also got 2 salads (their mozzarella and bread on the side is delightful) and a pasta alla bolognese. But the pizza is the real star of the show here: they handmake it in front of you, put it in the woodfire oven, and serve it to you fresh.

    We were pretty excited to see a Neapolitan pizza and pasta restaurant in Moab. The reviews looked…read moresolid, and from what I remembered from our last visit many years ago, there were not many pizza options in town. We ordered the Salsiccia e Funghi, a sausage and mushroom pizza, along with the mussels in white wine sauce appetizer, homemade Italian cream sodas, and one additional limonata soda. The pizza was okay, but not the quality I would expect from a polished Neapolitan-style pizza place, especially at this price point. The mussels appetizer had potential because white wine sauce is exactly the kind of dish we usually enjoy with bread. Before ordering, I specifically asked about the bread because we like having enough to sop up the broth, the way you would expect at a good Italian restaurant. Our waitress said she would bring as much bread as we wanted. There were three of us, and the appetizer came with three pieces of bread. Given the earlier conversation, we later asked for three more pieces. The request seemed to bother her. When she delivered the extra bread, sensing her frustration, we said she could add it to the bill, and she told us she already had. That was frustrating because we had just discussed it before ordering. We were attempting to be more gracious, and she missed the mark with her response. She could have said ok, or thank you, or "no it's ok I told you could have as much bread as you wanted for the mussels" The mussels themselves were also uneven. Several had not opened during cooking, which is generally a sign that they should not be served or eaten. With mussels, the usual food-safety rule is: if they do not open during cooking, do not eat them. The FDA's consumer seafood guidance says clams, mussels, and oysters should open during cooking, and the ones that do not open should be thrown out. That made us question the quality control and preparation of the dish. The cream sodas were mixed. The berry version was delicious, but the mango version missed the mark. It was not sweet at all and tasted like the mango may not have been ripe. A little simple syrup, or ripe mango, would have helped a lot. The unripe mango soda ends up tasting a little like pine sol smells. We were also disappointed because the prices were more in line with what we would expect from a higher-quality meal. For the items noted above, plus one additional limonata soda, the meal came to over $60. I typically tip over 20%, but I took the extra bread charge off the tip, and the tip was still over 17%. Overall, this was not a terrible experience, but it was disappointing compared with what we were hoping for. The food had some good ideas, but several details felt off, and the service created a communication gap that left a bad impression.

    Love stopping here whenever in town. Usually get just cheese or pepperoni. Great pizza, fast…read moreservice. Big Don's is in the food truck courtyard, which makes it convenient, and a great stop if you are camping. They give you a beeper and your pizza will be ready pretty quickly. I always end up having some left over and eat it for breakfast cold out of the cooler the next day.

    Was expecting a lot more given the large amount of 5 start reviews, however as I keep learning,…read moresometimes it pays to read deeper into reviews to get a better idea. All the names of the pizzas sounded great on the menu, and we were pretty stoked to see our pizzas come out within about 10 minutes on a busy Friday night. However that speed should have been the red flag as to what kind of pizzas to expect. My wife commented after the meal that they seemed to be a step above frozen pizza, and I think that's an accurate representation. The dough is obviously pre-prepared and more than likely just mass-produced, frozen crust. The topping were fine, however as most know the dough is what really makes a pizza. If we were in a pinch again and needed a quick meal, we'd probably eat here again however there was nothing really to commend about Big Don's Pizza, except maybe the price is good for what it is. In such a heavy tourist town, they could probably get away with charging $15 per pizza and people would pay.
