Utah certainly has its share of tasty pizzerias, and you’ll find them from St. George to Logan and everywhere in between. If you live in Vernal (or Moab), then this pizza restaurant is right in your own back yard. For the rest of us, it’s kind of far away…but well worth adding to the travel dining bucket list!
The next time you find yourself in Vernal, you'll definitely want to pay Antica Forma a visit. This little pizzeria is well-loved by locals and visitors alike.
You'll find it at 251 E. Main St., Vernal, UT 84078. There's also a location in Moab at 267 N. Main St., Moab, UT 84532.
The incredible aroma of wood-fired pizza will hit you the minute you walk through the door. This pizzeria is big enough to handle just about any size party. Stop by for a quiet dinner for two, or bring the whole crew to celebrate a special occasion.
The reason this pizza is so amazing is that it's made in a wood-fired oven. Baked at 800-900 degrees, the crust becomes perfectly crisp, and the homemade, fresh mozzarella melts just right.
That's right - at Antica Forma they make their own fresh mozzarella every day. The Neapolitan pizza dough is also made in-house, and it's allowed to ferment for 24 hours for the best possible flavor. The pizza sauce is made with just two ingredients: fresh, San Marzano tomatoes, and a little bit of salt.
The result? An absolutely perfect pizza pie! Seriously, this is one of the best pizzas in the Beehive State, and you're going to want to give it a try.
