I love the space this restaurant had, they happily accommodated our party of 10. Excellent food and service!

We have friends that kept raving about this place in Moab that they loved to go and eat at. They even tried to lure us in in a few times, but it wasn't until we drove by and saw the flames, that we even took a second glance at Zax. I called ahead and was told that we could get on the list once we arrived but to expect a 20 minute wait. I was at the hostess stand with in three minutes and was seated immediately. Our waitress was friendly and helpful, The salad and pizza bars were both clean and well maintained. They use bandannas for napkins which definitely has me rethinking my table linens. Solid pizza (with a buffet go figure) and a decent variety of "American" food if pizza isn't your thing. I can definitely see us making it a regular haunt if we spend more time in Moab. read more

The service is friendly and the food is good, though not necessarily exceptional. Moab is a touristy town and often you have two options for food -- cheap and mediocre or expensive. This falls somewhere in the middle. You actually get to sit down and have good service and the food is pretty tasty and not too costly. If you're looking for GREAT food, this isn't the place. read more

Lackluster service. Mediocre food. Staff happy to blame others for mistakes. A serious need to pay attention to detail through the chain of ownership from server through kitchen. Full bar while reasonable, seems to suffer from poor execution on classic signature cocktails. read more

We (3 adults) were in Moab for several days last week. We had two meals at Zax. The first meal was excellent; all three of us enjoyed our entrees. We were there for lunch and remarked that the BBQ Chicken pizza looked interesting. A day later we went back for dinner and ordered the BBQ pizza and an order of onion rings. The onion rings were great; the BBQ pizza was pretty bad. The menu said that it was made with KC Massterpiece BBQ sauce. I'm familiar with that BBQ sauce (and most sauces on the market). The pizza had shredded Chicken, green peppers, red peppers, onion, cheese, and SUPPOSEDLY KC Masterpiece BBQ sauce. On my first piece I couldn't taste (nor could I see) ANY BBQ sauce. Without the BBQ sauce the pizza was just wrong. My wife and sister-in-law were able to detect minute amounts of BBQ sauce on their slices. On inspecting the rest of the pizza, it appear that the cook may have used a total of about 1/4 teaspoon of BBQ sauce. I hope and suspect that this was a new employee in the kitchen who didn't know how to make a BBQ chicken pizza. I called over the waiter and had him bring a condiment cup of BBQ sauce which helped a little better didn't come close to making the pizza right. We tossed the leftovers, something I can't ever remember doing with (edible) pizza. So....ONE excellent meal at Zax, followed by a BAD meal at ZAX. I suspect the BAD meal was an aberration. read more

The server was nice but this place is not compliant with COVID issues. The team members are masked up but they let big groups in without masks and allow people to walk around without masks which is a bit uncomfortable. We had one drink at our table and left, which is unfortunate as we were really looking forward to having a meal there. read more

At 7pm on a Friday night in November, they apparently have no one staffed to answer the phone for orders. Called about 10 different times over the space of 30 minutes. read more

Great sport bar! We went mid-afternoon after a hike at Needles in Canyonlands National Park. Pizza on the buffet was fresh; lots of options. Meat lovers included sausage, pepperoni, bacon and ham. Wow! Cheese pizza was sweet - odd - so ask about that before you try it. Salad bar was fresh and had usual suspect veggies. Bacon bits were fake, but we haven't found real ones anywhere. Server was from Turkey, and very helpful. Fun to visit with him - he's a skydiver! If they had real bacon and a more cheesy cheese pizza, I'd have rated it a 4. Good place! read more

The food was fantastic but service could have been better. I enjoyed it and would eat here again. read more

Wow! My family and I have been staying in Moab the last few nights and Decided to try this place out. Our server was nice, our food came with in minutes, which is saying something since we are a family of 5, and everything was delicious. Would definitely recommend!!! read more

We are in Moab for the first time, and this restaurant grabbed our attention by the burning branch that is set in front of the place, right on Main Street; HWY 191. Mind you, the entire town is very small but you get a wholesome feeling by being here. So, we HAD to give ZAX a chance - on our second day here. I wanted to know more about why the restaurant had a burning branch in it's front window, so I asked our friendly hostess - what is the story behind the flaming tree? She said that the owner had it built because he is an avid camper and loves camp fires. He wanted all the campers and hikers to come to his place to eat, so he had this attention-grabbing feature installed in the front room of his restaurant. Everyone who is traveling through Moab or lives in Moab is a veteran hiker, bike rider and fun-doer. So much for the legend of the burning branch; onto the food at ZAX. I ordered the Flat Iron Steak, 8 oz, medium rare. ($18.99). It came out more on the medium side, but it was hot, tender and juicy! I got the baked potato with butter; it was served very hot (the way I love to eat my food), and I also a got a wonderful dinner roll with everything. It also came with grilled squash, but that was marginally okay. The napkins are freshly laundered red bandanas, the sort of thing that hikers wear around their necks while hiking out in the Arches Wilder Lands. We sat out on the patio - which is the place to see people, and to be seen by people. It's a fun place to sit, and the flies will keep you company. My husband got the unlimited pizza, soup and salad bar, which he enjoyed immensely. Please - if you're traveling through Moab, like most of us are, give Zax a chance. The food is good, the service was excellent and everyone is friendly in this town! read more

We came here on vacation and loved it!!! The service is amazing. food and drinks come out Super fast. No wait to sit, no wait for drinks, no wait for food. Food was great. We ordered pizzas and a shrimp salad. Highly recommend this restaurant!!! read more

From the outside, this place screams tourist trap, but I'm glad we chose it! Everything was great! Menu's are given with bandanas wrapped around the silverware. Waitresses are friendly & food is full-flavored with large portions. What more could you ask for? read more

Heidi made our visit. hostess sat the wife and I between 2 large families we asked for a different area and she seemed ok with it then the water boy gave us an attitude (Brandon) ? I think ?? so we moved to a comfortable spot and he couldn't believe it. Clarify 7 or 8 months not eating out and we get a bitchy boy with an attitude if it wasn't or Heidi and her great personality we would have walked out. Any way the beers were good and the pizza was good probable will never go back cause of small people and their mental problems. read more

I hate giving negative reviews, but after today's experience at lunch I just don't have a choice. Horrible, rude service and overpriced food with questionable cleanliness is my take away. I won't return! Myself, my father and my 3 little ones (ages 1, 5 & 7 years) needed a place for a good lunch before resting up for more hiking this evening. I had driven past this place and wanted to give it a try. I'll try to keep this review short... Good: Fresh pizza, made as requested at the buffet in 6 minutes. Decently stocked salad bar. Nice atmosphere overall. Our waiter was kind when a glass of water was spilled and soaked our table. The 2 stars are for the above. Now for the bad: I would have enjoyed some good bread with the soup. It was beer cheese soup, but no bread to be found anywhere. We were initially ignored when we walked in while a staff members chatted on a cell phone nearby. Our waiter took over 10 minutes to come to our table after we had been seated. The restaurant wasn't busy, so why did it take so long? I ordered a $15 soup, salad and pizza buffet for myself and my Dad got one also. My daughter got a bowl of pasta and my son got 2 slices of pizza. When asked what my 1 yr old would be eating I said very clearly "he just nibbles whatever I get since he doesn't eat full meals all the time." The waiter acknowledged this and at NO time did he tell me there would be a charge for him to share my food. If this is policy, shouldn't it have been mentioned so *I* could choose what I wanted to do? I enjoyed 2 small bowls of salad and 2 pieces of pizza. I also tasted the beer cheese soup but found it too spicy for my liking, and was disappointed there was no bread for the soup. As expected, my 1 yr old nursed and nibbled off my plate - 1 piece of baby corn, a little shredded cheese, a cracker, a bite of pizza and about 3 spoonfuls of soup. Our drinks were not refilled, and the pizza being VERY spicy, having no drink made it hard for me to enjoy my food. In addition, I could never get our server's attention to get an additional plate for the pizza buffet or any other need. The attendant at the buffet line said to just use the same plate... I've never been to a buffet where you use the same plate twice? I question the cleanliness of this... The bill came and without a word the waiter had charged $3.00 for my ONE year old to eat soup. When I questioned him he said "oh I had to charge for the baby - it's my job." I would have ordered him a full meal if I had known there would be a charge for him to share with me, which is why I made it CLEAR up front. The baby didn't eat $3.00 worth of soup and I certainly didn't eat $15.00 worth of a buffet. I have NEVER been charged for my nursing ONE year old to share my meal! This is really about more than the $3.00 charge (on a $50.00 bill). In general, we had poor service and when I brought up an issue with the charge, the waiter got defensive and rude. Also, I just have to question the cleanliness when new plates are not provided for each trip to the buffet line. If anyone in authority read this, our waiter was named "Christian" and had a thick foreign accent. He desperately needs some retraining on how to treat customers. If your restaurant policy is to charge for a ONE year old to share with an adult, PLEASE be upfront about that. As we left, he was tattling to a manager that I didn't leave him a tip. I had intended to tip 15% despite the bad service but when you treat me rudely and charge me for my child to take just a few nibbles off my plate, and can't have the decency to tell me in advance? You do NOT earn a tip. Period. read more

Lasagna was excellent, service was top notch, and the environment lent itself to easy conversation. Will definitely be back!

Great food and very friendly service! The Zax burger was fantastic!

My husband and I are visiting from California!!! We thought Zax looked nice from the outside and decided to give it a try!!! AWESOME pizza, local beer, and our waitress, Sapphire was great!!! Sapphire gave us some options for exploring the Colorado River area since the weather was so cold (too cold to float or raft). Really nice atmosphere also!!! We sat in the bar with Mr Buffalo head. We will for sure come back when in Utah!!! read more

The waitresses and hosts had zero emotions. The food was overpriced. I wasted $20 on the Greek Salad that had zero flavor. I forced myself to eat it because I was traveling all day and was starving. My "sautéed shrimp" also was not properly sautéed. When I brought it up to the waitress she said "what do you want me to do about it" rudely. NEVER coming back. Recommend eating else where for better service and better quality food. read more

Zax Restaurant - Pizza Near Me - Moab, Utah

Atmosphere was awesome! Two outdoor eating areas, one being on the second story overlooking main street. Tvs and heaters everywhere outdoors, a buffet upstairs and downstairs. A bar area, clean restrooms, great assortment of pizzas. Our server was attentive and polite. Great local ipa's and expansive wine and mix drink menu. Dessert was a cookie that covered an entire plate with whipped cream, nuts, cherry, and ice cream. Whole family left full and happy! read more

Food was good. Salad with salmon was grossly overpriced - $9 upcharge on salads with no protein to start with, and base price of $14 but their salmon wrap special was only $9 with fries - pricing doesn't make sense. Dressing options for the salads were uninspiring on taste. Apparently COVID is over in Utah - there appeared to be exactly zero effort at social distancing in this establishment, and no signs to request face masks in crowded areas until seated, etc. I did see staff wearing masks which was appreciated. I feel they could do more but what do you expect in a partisan red state where COVID only affects democrats? read more

This was our first time in Moab, and we LOVED Zax! We were seated promptly, our server was nice, and our food was delicious. My husband had the meat pizza and I had the zax burger with pickle fries. All of it was amazing! When we come back to Moab this will definitely become a staple for us. read more

Was not impressed at all. Ordered spinach artichoke dip that was 100% microwaved instead of being put in the oven to bake. It was unevenly luke warm and they shoved ice cold carrots and celery in it like whattt and not nearly enough pita bread with it. We were brought chilled mini salad plates as well and ordered 2 large pizzas as the main course with no plate change. And one pizza had like a buttery crust glaze and the other didn't?? The pizzas were meh but not worth $22 each. And they were not 14" they were barely over 12". Wow read more

Highly recommend it! Went here with my family, kids 11 and 13, and we loved this place. Good food, cooked very fast, super tasty and great service from our server Brandon. We didn't have any pizza but we walked by the kitchen and there were many pizzas sitting there waiting to be delivered looking amazingly delicious. We might go back later in the week to try it. I had a plain cheeseburger which still tasted great even though it was cooked medium well, my mistake for not asking for medium or medium rare. My wife had a Reuben which was delicious, of course I had a taste, And both of our meals came with fries. Kids had corn dogs and chicken tenders and they raved about them especially the onion rings they got on the side which I agree were some of the best breaded onion rings I've ever had. Brandon was excellent working seven tables outside. He got us waters quickly and took our order immediately when we were ready. The food was cooked very fast even though the restaurant was busy. Brandon was all over it always there when we needed him but not hovering in anyway because he was so busy. Beer selection was wide including my favorite Utah double pale Ale. They have seating outside both on main street and on the roof! We sat on Main Street. Nice bar on the inside, although quite dark on the inside as well. Clean bathrooms are always a plus! read more

The food is really mediocre. We were happy to find a place that didn't have a waiting and would have been happy with the basic drinks and wings but the server pushed the special on us that was super dry beef. Instead we would have had the steak that would have been more expensive. My cocktail was diluted and I asked for kids pasta with marinara and he got us the adult portion of pasta with Alfredo. I definitely felt scammed. read more

I LOVE this place! I've tried everything from the pulled pork, the Ruben to the pizza. The staff is amazing and the food is delicious! Alway stop by in Moab. Christian did amazing! read more

Ate here twice during our week long stay. Great service both times and the food & drinks were delish.

The food was decent, but nothing unique/special. I feel like I've eaten this same pizza at 10 other places. It was OK, but not great. The service was pretty terrible. It was 15-20 min before we were able to order. Then it took a while for the server to bring plates for the pizza buffet. It also took a long time to get clean plates so we could go back up for more pizza. Then, it took a long time for the check. Our server seemed overworked. He had tables inside and outside and just had too much going on. We saw him approach the table a few times and get pulled aside by other customers, and we also saw him start walking over, then turn around a few times realizing he'd forgotten our plates or drinks. read more

I enjoyed eating here on the porch. The individual pizza was very enjoyable including gluten free pizza. read more

I want to write a better review. But I can't. We ordered the fettuccini Alfredo and spinach Florentine ravioli. After hiking 12 miles in Arches, I was starving. The Fettuccini was bland & devoid of any flavor. The Ravioli was swamped in pesto sauce. We both ended up tossing out our meals. Sorry Zax. read more

The meal was delicious, perfect for the end of a long tiring day. Also give Brandon the waiter a raise, he's an awesome guy! Would recommend. read more

We came 2 days ago. We eat delicious burgers and great service so we came back tonight. Best ribs ever! (Sorry no picture! I was starving and killed my plate!)We sat at the bar.

After a long day in Arches NP we were hungry and tired and needed a beer and food. We stopped here coz it was the closest place to where we parked. But we were pleasantly surprised at the food and service. Hubby had the Buffet burger and I had the BLT with avocado. We also had a couple local beers to wash it all down. My BLT was excellent. The avocado made it perfect. The sweet potato waffles fries were da bomb! Our server was so sweet and patient since we couldn't decide on beers. I noticed a salad and pizza bar that looked really good and saw lots of people choosing it. I'd recommend Zax for sure. read more

Got there late after a whole day of sight seeing. Ordered a caesar salad with chicken, and a large vegetarian pizza. The salad was ok. It was drenched in salad dressing, which I like. The pizza was REALLY good. Apparently they make their own dough everyday. It was very tender with a light chew. Flavor was mild. We also ordered the cookie (which was actually a brownie) with ice cream. It was pretty good, we ate it all. I'd definitely come back for the pizza. read more

My second time coming to Zax. Pizza, burgers, sandwiches, salads, etc. I've had the Fish and chips and pulled pork. Waitress recommended the raspberry margarita, also good. Located in the middle of downtown makes it easy to walk around after and shop. read more
