I'm convinced Dion's is Greek for delicious. Obviously the pizza is outstanding and the salads are unlike anything in town. The subs are wonderful and under appreciated by many. And the dressings are in a class of their own. I didn't know that one can be a ranch snob but my whole family is. We took Dion's ranch on our cruise. It's true--we travel with Dion's ranch now. When they ran out--the incident of 2018--I thought we would need therapy. We called weekly and I was putting out feelers for Black Market Ranch. Fo real. read more

This location doesn't seem to have any management whatsoever. The food is ok but we are here at 8pm on a Friday night and the kids working the kitchen are all acting like drunken frat boys. They are so incredibly loud and annoying it's hard for us to hear ourselves talk. read more

I always look forward to a visit to Albuquerque and I eat my way thru the city! Nothing like New Mexican food! But what about pizza your say? Yup! Dion's!!! Green chili on pepperoni is perfection! read more

Ordered a slice of pizza with mushroom and green chili. Side tossed salad was good Pizza was lukewarm. Topping were added as an afterthought. Not incorporated well into the piece of cheese pizza. Dion's used to do a better job. I had not been to Dion's for 4 months because of a similar result at their Central NE location. Won't be going back for pizza anytime soon. read more

Dion's is good. I am a pizza snob so you really have to create a great pizza in order for me to say its very good. I have said for years, Dion's is ok. Not great pizza, not terrible either. It is local and convenient and the kids grow up going to Dion's so it is familiar to everyone. read more

Dion's - Pizza Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

It is pretty much written in Albuquerque law to take your kids to Dion's after their sporting event and/or if you're just too tired to took. There's also unspoken rule that if you ever order a pizza without green chile at Dion's, you'll be forced to surrender your NM driver's license and exiled from the state. I know it's a thing for millennials these days to erratically shift between old school cool and dumping on tradition, but growing up on Dion's green chile pizza (or sub sandwiches or chef's salads... they're all good) with a side of ranch is a rite of passage, a stamp that celebrates your Southwest heritage. Few things in life are more beautiful than walking out Dion's smelling like Parmesan and victory. Speaking of their ranch, no other salad dressing manufacturer can touch it, period (sorry, Paul Newman. I know you were doing it for a good cause). Dion's ranch is a perfect concoction of buttermilk, herbs, and the preserved tears of Jebediah O Nuevomexico, the founding father of the land of enchantment. As such, the ingredients are incredibly finite, and the state nearly underwent a tumultuous shutdown when the company suspended production a few years ago. I am willing to check a bag to haul multiple bottles back to California. Yes, I know they expire in like a few weeks. Until then, I am willing to eat salad every meal. read more

Dion's - Pizza Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

We've been eating Dion's Pizza for a long time. Lately, the Dion's on Academy has been so disorganized and chaotic that we are not going back. They have a bunch of kids walking around pretending to work and usually one person on the cash register. We ordered and paid for a pizza on line. By the time we were waited on, the pizza was cold. They left one ingredient we had paid for and only said, "sorry, man." We will find another place to get pizza. read more

Consistently good salads, sandwiches and pizza and service is always right on for me. I called ahead and order online and it's ready to pick up and take home! It's as easy as that when you have the app! Love it I love the green chili ranch dressing highly recommend! read more

Big(ger) Dion's. This location has a sunroom perfect for those large birthday gatherings. I always look forward to the winter season here, which is the start of their Christmas/ Valentine cookie season. Sooo good. Usually pretty clean, but sometimes you catch them on an off day. (This is also Morris & Montgomery's rival location, but it' a friendly rivalry of course) read more

I came through the drive through last Tuesday and a very respectful young man named Drew helped me out at the window. I had ordered a large pepperoni pizza and he ensured it was right and offered me some parmesan and red pepper flakes without me even having to ask. Overall 10/10 service! read more

Great customer service owned up to the mistake they made and honored our whole meal today I went to the Dion's on Academy to buy my staff lunch for appreciation they happen to mess up on the pizza without my knowledge and fixed it before it became an issue . Great customer service I give you a five star and more read more

Best sandwiches, the staff is able to bring the right order with great attitude and smile on face

Not sure if it's this location or what we ordered, but I enjoyed this Dion's experience a lot more than the other one I'd been to. We went simple with a couple 2-topping pies (sausage and pineapple, sausage and mushroom) to go, and other than a little snafu (they only had 1 pizza made when we went to pick up the order), it was a smooth process from order to pickup. The crust here is always really good, and is not too dense or thick. We'll definitely go to this location whenever we're craving some Dion's. read more

Always love eating at Dion's, we had the 505 and I can usually eat the green chile, it was total fire! Hot hot hot! I had to take off the chile because I couldn't handle it. I know, I'm a wimp. We also had the chef salad and shared a medium and was plenty for two people and they also had green chile ranch which was also tasty! I wish I had taken a picture. read more

Dion's is an Albuquerque staple. This review is for customer service, as 99% of the time the food is great. We ordered take out and went through the drive thru for pickup. The person who answered the phone made an error in our order, not a big deal. The great part was how quickly the manager fixed it and made sure we were happy. This was last Friday night. Thank you for taking care of your customers! read more

As someone with a ton of in-laws from the ABQ area, I've heard a lot of hype about this pizza over the years. I'm glad to know that it absolutely lives up to that. The flavors are perfect. The crust is glorious. And I wasn't worried about walking away hungry. read more

Your drive-up person today is horrible. She obviously hates her job. She should leave and do something she likes because no one likes to see a sour face and no greeting or anything. She just gives the food out and shuts the window. read more

Used to be a regular getting take out there at least twice a month. Things have been busy so have not had any in several months. So I am eating my go to pizza which is double pepperoni. Not happy. Looks like they changed up the pepperoni on it, taste nothing like it used to. Very disappointed. Does not have the spicy zing the old pepperoni had. read more

Tonight I went to Dion's for the first time since I moved to ABQ two months ago. I showed up at the restaurant and ordered my pizza to go. I was told I had to wait 20 minutes which was fine by me, I really wanted to try pizza from this place. I paid for my pizza and after the waiting time my order wasn't ready so asked if something happened and turns out they had no idea what I ordered. The guy at the register tried to be nice and told me it was gonna be just 2 more minutes, but I feel they lost my order and had to start doing it again or something because I ended up waiting an additional 20 minutes! It wasn't a busy night, I've seen longer lines and more people at the restaurant other days I've driven by the place. I was very hungry and I had been craving pizza from here for a while, that's why this was a little bit frustrating. I tried the 505 pizza which has green Chile and pepperoni and it was good, it is really a nice pizza place. I just feel that I need to go back some other time to try different items from their menu and to hopefully have a better customer service experience read more

See all

Grant, Thank you for your reply. Since I read your review I've had salads at Dion's and I requested square croutons... Thank you! Last night my husband, myself and my mother-in-law had sub sandwiches at the Montgomery/ Juan Tabo location..DELICIOUS! I had turkey, provolone cheese on toasted wheat bread! Much different experience from the last time I had a sub at Dions. Looking forward to another Dions Sub! read more

I have visited Dion's many times. Went for lunch today. I had the Turkey and swiss, great sandwich! Every employee was great, super friendly, clean cut and dressed for work. Great attitudes. No grab ass, All business. Very clean place, including the bathrooms. Other businesses could take some pointers from Dion's. read more

Consistently great pizza. Ranch dressing is divine. Some good "gourmet" options but even the simple pies are great.

Amazing pizza and sandwiches, highly recommend. Great staff and quick service, convenient locations.

Visiting from Phoenix and a girlfriend that's from New Mexico recommend Dion's. Got the veggie pizza and it was great! First time ever dining here and our pizza was more on the crispy side. Not sure if that's common with this chain or not. I think next time I would ask them to undercook it just a few minutes as I prefer my pizza more on the chewy side. Still super tasty read more

Stopped by after driving 4 hours straight. The staff member at the drive up and manager on staff tonight were nothing short of amazing. Great service and very attentive. The macadamia cookies are too good to pass up for dessert! read more

Dion's so good! This was my first time visiting the Academy location and it was awesome. We were nearby and decided to take a little visits. Catching up with an old friend at Dion's is perfect. We ordered right away and the cashier was super kind and fast. Our food was ready in about 20min. We ordered a slice of cheese pizza for my friends daughter and she scarfed it down. Kids love cheese pizza. My friend ordered the chef ranch salad and I ordered the turkey and swiss sub sandwich with a fruit cup, and a side of their amazing green chile ranch! The pizza was fresh and delicious, the salad was big and tasty, and my sub was toasted perfectly and very scrumptious. The drinks are also so refreshing I always order a Arnold Palmer, made with Dion's signature lemonade and sweet tea. When we just about finished a Dion's employee very politely cleared our table and gave me a refill. Thanks girl you the best! I love Dion's and I will be back very soon. read more

Dion's - The Cheese Pizza. Turkey and Swiss Sub Small 6". Ranch Salad. - Pizza Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

I love dion they have the best sandwiches and pizza And the salad are the bomb !!!!!!!!! read more

Dion's is my favorite pizza in Albuquerque. I'm originally from Chicago, although it's not chicago style pizza, it's a good pizza. No matter how busy they are they are consistent (20 mins for pizza) and the counter staff is always incredibly friendly. My only gripe is...why can't the Pizza ever be cut even or all the way thru? If you love all the toppings, get the dion special. They also have specialty pizza...bbq with chicken is awesome, so is the Albuquerque turkey (green chili and turkey with cheddar cheese) so good. They have delicious ranch dressing for salad or dipping the pizza crust. If you dine in, there is a viewing place for kids (and adults alike) to watch the Pizza production. Pro tip: if you have a large party dining in, definitely order the pitchers of soda (free refills) read more

We have been going to Dions for years. We love their turkey and Swiss sub sandwich. Always consistent at whichever location you go too. Also love their salads. Whenever our boys are in town, they have to have pizza from Dions. I like their pizza but like a little more tomato sauce on my pizza. Overall, good product for a reasonable price. read more

I'm from Tucson and didn't think much of this place when I was first invited for lunch here. The food is great tho! Love love love their turkey and swiss sandwiches (it's even better than the pizza which is also great). There's always a spot to grab a table and the employees are usually pretty nice. You don't have to wait too long for food. read more

I dont get the Hype of Dion's. Pizza is fine, and cheap. Sandwiches and salad's are hearty. But whenever I'm in ABQ, people say to go- and I always get confused as to why. It's average. read more

Let's chat about pricing for a moment, shall we? To some extent, we consumers are basically powerless over dining costs at some of our favorite haunts. Once we're hooked, we'll often spend whatever the menu asks for a familiar dish. I won't name the local chain I'm thinking of (I'll give ya two hints: Flying and Star), but an eight dollar helping of mac 'n cheese (throw in another five bucks for some chicken) currently reigns, in my book, as one grossly overpriced endeavor. This is comfort food, people. Drape it in whatever finery you want, nobody-and I mean nobody-should shell out that kind of cash for the culinary pinnacle of the five year-old palate. With a bevy of locations under their belt, Dion's currently bucks the high dollar trend. Six inch sammies run less than six bucks and ten inchers less than eight. Pizzas are totally fair, between $13-$18. I'm a big fan of the salads and a filling bowl will run less than six bones, while the family size (feeds three or four, easy) goes about nine. Ultimately, a family can fill up for about $25 save the extras like soda or cookies. We don't do the extras, and we're thrilled with the value. Compare this with a local chain I'm thinking of (I'll give ya two hints: Flying and Star) where you'll easily drop $40. No, it ain't organic or locally sourced. You're paying the salaries of teenagers which means you might be the unwitting sponsor of a house party. You'll have to schlepp the eats to your table, no problemo on my part, ya gotta work off that pizza crust somehow. On weekends, the line can stretch a long ways, here, but you won't wait long. In the end, Dion's is delicioso and more than affordable. Thumbs up. read more

My favorite location and this location doesnt mess up like Montgomery location. Montgomery gave burnt pizza and refused to give us regular ranch since we dont like green chili ranch. Never again to this location. Got new order when i called corporate. Will stick to Academy location. read more

I live right down the street from this location, so we often find ourselves here after taking a nice stroll down Academy. The pizza, subs, and garlic bread are all very good. My personal favorite is their gourmet pizza, the margherita, which is a 10" personal pizza, although me & my daughter often split it. This location serves Coke Zero, but other locations do not. The pizza (in my opinion) tends to run a bit dry, so I always ask for extra sauce on every pizza I order. I wish they offered breadsticks! I'm more of a breadstick-kind-of-girl rather than garlic bread. But, overall this is quality pizza people. It is so far my favorite in Albuquerque and easily beats all of the chain restaurants (Pizza Hut, Dominos, Little Caesars, etc). read more

As a child one firsts gets introduced to Dions through a field trip. You get to see the exciting backstage of the pizza making business, eat free pizza and get a souvenir t shirt. I can't remember a time when I've been unhappy with an order. They have fresh ingredients and very tasty pizza, salads and subs, also a nice selection of drinks and just a pitter of desserts. But I would have to say the BEST thing about dions is the ranch dressing and I'm sure if you know anyone who has been to dions they would agree. If they offered it in a shot glasses I'd have to admit I'd at least have to try one. Prices are fair and considering its mostly ran by the youngins the service is great. Best to call ahead because at times that place is hopping and unless you have time to spare...call in. The location by me has a convenient drive thru. read more

Dion's - They have a drive thru at this location - Pizza Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Try ordering online! Super fast & efficient. Takes about min to set up the acct with billing and credit card info, but you have the option to save/store it for future use. Takes 20min from order to pickup AND with the busiest night being Friday with both the drive thru and inside lines a mile long, I got called right to the front, handed the pizza over everyone's heads & out the door! If you dislike crowds like myself, you kno how awesome this is! read more

Always a lovely experience at this location! The employees are always kind, food is always delicious, and they are so wonderful to speak with if issues ever arise. I've been coming to Dion's for years and this is my favorite location! read more

Academy and Wyoming location What can I say? It's Dion's. Good pizza, good salad, Ranch dressing to die for. We had a large group and found seating all together in the back. Unfortunately, it was hotter than Hades back there and the sun was blazing through the windows. Some windows had shades that literally did nothing but prevent a tiny amount of glare from the sun. I could feel the tiniest breeze from the air conditioner, but it was like having a pocket fan on the sun. I guess at least it kept my pizza warm? And my ranch dressing. read more

Seriously one of the best pizzas I have ever had! Having green chili as a topping was an experience! A tasty one! The service here was fast and the staff was friendly. Looking forward to coming back and trying some more of the menu items. read more
