Doughbird

Dining★ 4.5
Arches National Park interior of a cafe-style restaurant with a long counter, warm lighting, and neon sign accents.

On Moab's Main Street, Doughbird fuses wood-fired pizzas with rotisserie chicken in a lively, casual room. The Crispy Fried Chicken Sandwich crackles with crust, delivers a juicy thigh, and rides a tangy slaw on a soft bun, while rotisserie chicken provides a comforting family staple. The doughnuts spark debate, and the gluten-free crust option keeps pizza nights honest. If you want a post-arches bite with texture-forward hits, this is your stop.
