Known for their eccentric pizza nomenclature and savory taste; since 2019, Taboo Pizza has been serving the eastern bench of Ogden and has experienced increased popularity and demand. Due to this, MWA has had the pleasure of collaborating with Taboo Pizza on their second location, adjacent to Ogden River’s riverwalk. Drawing inspiration from both their branding and The Divine Comedy, an interior design motif takes patrons through the depths of Hell and past the sins of gluttony and greed to some deliciously good pizza. The selections of warm reds, gradient grays, and rough finishes such as concrete and weathered metal all combine to create a moody and fitting ambiance. Backlit logos, bar tops, and artist-commissioned artwork continue to layer to the scene of the interiors, all leading to the centerpiece of the space; their custom-built bar. Cages depicting the gates of Hell suspended from above loom over a finished grade concrete bar top. As Taboo Pizza’s slogan plays on bringing to light that which is taboo, visitors may be thinking twice wondering if “Heaven” and other pizzas are all that they’re cracked up to be.
