Dion's has always held a special place in my heart, it's that nostalgic kind of place that instantly takes me back to my childhood growing up in Albuquerque. There's something comforting about walking into that familiar green-and-white space and knowing exactly what you're going to get: consistently good pizza, ranch worth obsessing over, and memories tied to every slice. Now, years later, I get to share that same experience with my toddler and let me tell you, Dion's is definitely his favorite pizza in town. Watching him dig into a slice with the same joy I had as a kid feels full circle in the best way. The Universe location is always clean, quick, and friendly. Whether we're grabbing a pizza to go or sitting down for a quick lunch, it never disappoints. Dion's just gets it simple, solid, and always hits the spot. read more

Great service! Very clean restaurant & the pizza and Greek salad were top tier. They were very accommodating for a large family & didn't rush us out when visiting. Will be back to support this establishment. read more

Got a few subs and salad. I ordered a lettuce wrap Italian sub with no olives and it was made with olives. They re made the sub and after waiting they brought the new sub and it had olives again. After a third time they finally made it correct. We get home and see that the roast beef and provalone sub we also got had no cheese. Terrible experience read more

I ate here for the first time and had the roast beef and provolone. This was the worse sandwich I've ever had. The roast beef was cold and dry and I didn't see any provolone on it. Needless to say I will never be going back to any Dion's! read more

Christmas Eve, done shopping and not interested in cooking. This store is close to home and far enough away from shopping malls and stores to be less than busy. We arrive to very few cars in the lot, not many inside but a long line for drive through. Placed our order for a Napoli Pizza and waited. In typical Dion's fashion you can watch your pizza being crafted on a platform opposite the pizza construction area. It attracts kids of all ages. Pizza was delicious, hot and ready to eat - add some of their ranch dressing and it's perfect. This one is close to home and will probably see us often read more

Bottom Line: Flavorful food, friendly counter staff, bright cherry dining area. Not the cheapest eats in town, but not crazy $$ either. Top Line: Good flavorful Greek salad and single slice of pizza, with small sweet tea on the side. Half order of Greek salad was pleasant blend of iceberg lettuce, kalamata olives, cherry tomatoes, feta cheese, and croutons. *Thank You* to the kitchen crew for slicing the cherry tomatoes in half. Nice touch and much appreciated. Greek dressing had a good tangy taste without being overwhelmingly tart or sour. Just enough bite to make it bright. Only downside was that there seemed to be a lot of croutons for the size of the salad. There's a 4 topping limit for single slice pizza, so I got Italian sausage, green bell peppers, kalamata olives, and roasted red peppers to dress the standard sauce & cheese base. All was tasty, with the sausage getting special notice for its occasional burst of fennel forward flavor popping through. Crust was pretty thick, quite bready, and nice & chewy. Only downside was price, seemingly a bit high. But when your reference point is Costco's mondo slab o' pie for a few bucks, it's an unfair comparison to expect other eateries to match that bar. Sweet tea was standard stuff. Wet, sweet, not particularly tea flavored. It's commercial grade product and did a commercial grade job of slam dancing my thirst. I didn't have room for the fudge brownie I got, so tomorrow's breakfast is already in the on deck circle. Coffee & brownie sounds like an early morning winner to me! Cashier young lady was pleasant and welcoming. She did a fine job taking my order and setting time expectation for how long it would take to fix my food. She promised, without any attitude or aggravation, to wipe off dried soda from counter around cash register area when I pointed it out. The lad wiping down tables in dining area looked to be doing a conscientious job as well. Interior is bright from big honkin' windows letting in a lot of light. Depending on your seat, outside view can be less than stellar. Unless you count watching drive-thru traffic at the coffee joint next door as soul satisfying. But if you focus on the food on the plate in front of you, the view is fine. read more

Dions Pizza itself is really good tasting, just way over priced! $19.20 for a Pepperoni Pizza is wild. And they NEVER even have any deals. They don't even have a Rewards Program. No customer appreciation what so ever. Also the pizza kits are the same prices as a fully cooked pizza. Why would I pay $19.20 for a Large Pepperoni Pizza Kit to make at home, if i can get it cooked for same price? Makes zero sense.... read more

Great addition to the west side. There is a reason why the locally owned pizza joint is a favorite among the locals. The restaurant is casual and a counter service. We ordered online and the wait was an hour, and they promptly had it ready to be picked up. Tip- they have a drive thru window, but it's for pick ups only. I ordered the "Special" pizza that comes with a perfect amount of toppings like Italian sausage, pepperoni, red onions, mushrooms, black olives, green chile, ground beef & smoked ham. Also I can't forget the delicious chewy dough that can make or break a pizza. I like that you can order a single slice of pizza as well, which is perfect for a picky eater not willing to commit to a full pizza. I also enjoy their spinach salad that is consistently served with fresh produce. There is plenty of parking if you want to dine in the restaurant but since I live close by I prefer to bring home and enjoy myself a fresh pizza. Their subs are also pretty delectable and priced well. read more

I would give 0 stars if I honestly could, I'm sticking to the Rio bravo Dion's from now on. I happened to be on this side of town for the evening. How could you go wrong with Dion's. NOT. This store lacks the attention to detail and quality control. I called at 6pm a small cheese pizza and 14" Santorini with no olives and chicken. My partner picked it up and when I opened the boxes the cheese had been thrown in the box the some slices were turned over and the Santorini had olives. Also not to mention when i placed the call and asked for no olives the young lady that helped me said the Santorini didn't come with olives. No it does I've been ordering this pizza for quite some time. Dion's I'm not mad but disappointed. And when I picked up my remade pizza was extremely undercooked. read more

Employees are awesome, atmosphere is good and the food never disappoints! I recommend this place for lunch and dinner! read more

I love Dions and am so happy to have one in Ventana Ranch. But boy is this one SLOW. 45 minutes for a sub and some cheese bread. read more

We had never had a sandwich from Dions because their pizza is so good. Today we decided to try the sandwiches. OMG ! They could run a business on sandwiches alone read more

This location ruined the Dion's franchise for me. I should have listened to other reviews. I came shortly after their closing time to pick up my pizza and they rudely shut me down. This changed my entire view towards the Dion's company. If you choose to go to this location, you're choosing the wrong one. Sad to see my favorite pizza place going downhill. read more

I would give this place 0 stars if that was possible. The staff were rude as fuck. The pizza was cold and tasted like shit. Would NOT recommend this place at all. read more

Dion's KNOWS how to make a sandwich. Their pizza is too greasy for me, BUT their sandwiches...I can enjoy all day long. Subway can definitely learn from Dion's what a sandwich is suppose to be like. The have a great meat to bun to lettuce ratio and the chips or fruit cup that come along with it just hit the spot. It's filling, tasteful and reasonably priced. Plus, their customer has always been the best. Take a dive Subway, it'll be a while before I see that thin shrunk dry sandwich of yours again. read more

The sub and salad were perfect. Absolutely love the green chili ranch. Did online order, drive through pickup. No issues.
