    This isn't NY pizza or anything but as a born and raised New Yorker, I couldn't believe how good this pizza was. I wanted to try New Mexico's spin on pizza with the green chile topping. I was relieved they sold pizza by the slices because I don 't think I could knock back an entire pie. The crust was on the thicker side but so soft and chewy. The cheese was soft and gooey. The chilies were an extra je ne sais quoi. Surprisingly satisfying.

    They have several locations, however I don't see any inconsistencies with the quality and flavor of the food. It's more so the customer service. They tend to have younger staff but the woman who served me my pick up order had a terrible attitude. And closed the window on me before I finished my sentence. I also waited in the pickup line for an already paid for order for about 20 minutes. For customers that have paid they should have a better pickup system. Nonetheless my Duke city pizza was delicious and still warm.

    Slice of the 505.  Bomb!  Really good pizza and fantastic ranch dressing, too.

    So, we were in Albuquerque, and we were doing a little self guided driving tour of some of the Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul locations and saw a Dion's. Then another Dion's. Then another. Then another. Then another. No joke, we saw about 5 or 6 different Dion's, (I guess there are about 10 in the Albuquerque area) including their corporate offices during our drive around town. I looked them up on Yelp and found out they are a local pizza place and they have a cult following for their ranch dressing. I told my buddy I was with that we had to try it at some point during our trip, and he agreed. We were getting some Dion's for dinner! During my visit to New Mexico, I found out that my cousin had recently moved to Albuquerque, so I hit him up to see if he wanted to meet for some pizza. He mentioned that he gets Dion's about once a week, and that their "505 Pizza" was his favorite (pepperoni and green chiles). We get to the place, meet him, and we placed our order for a Medium 505, well done, 2 sides of green chile ranch dressing, and 2 Cokes. Total was right around $20.00. We took a seat (dine in is open...socially distanced tables, every other one closed off) and waited for our pizza. Here is how it was............... The 505- This pizza was legit! It was a medium/thin crust type pizza, loaded with cheese, Italian seasoning, pepperonis and green chile. It was delicious! The well done was the key. My cousin got his pizza cooked regular, and I could tell that ours looked a little bit better and more brown. I cracked open one of the green chile ranch cups and dipped my crust in it. I am NOT a big fan of ranch, but god damn it, Dion's ranch really WAS bomb! Dare I say the best ranch I have ever had? Probably. I can see why they have a cult following for their ranch. It really was delicious and goes well with the pizza and is probably fantastic on a salad or with veggies, too. Overall, it was a great visit. The workers were friendly, the pizza was legit, the ranch was bomb, and I had a good dinner catching up with my Cousin I hadn't seen in about 5 years. If I lived in the area, I would definitely come here often and this would probably be "my pizza place".

    There were still more in my sandy. ‍

    So, usually I get the veggie sandy. This time around the olives were insane. Like, that was not a normal amount of olives. It's usually consistent at this location. This time, it was disappointing.

    Dion's is a much loved local pizza chain, familiar to all who've spent time in New Mexico. Today, after an unfortunate experience at another restaurant, my girlfriend and I tried to recover our evening by picking up a pizza. Dion's popped into my head, the first time in a while. My girlfriend called in the order to this quaint little location on the north side of Central between San Mateo and Washington: one large (16") pizza with pepperoni and green chile. To me, comfort food. We got to the restaurant, paid, waited, got the food, then left. The pizza box was heavy, always an exciting sign. Arriving back home, I opened the box 180° and transferred the pie to the other side. (This is my secret technique for preventing all the oil from accumulating in one place.) After soaking up some additional oil off the top, we dug in The first slice disappeared down my throat. The second I savored, shaking on some crushed red pepper and munching with intent. Each slice after went down slower than the last, my body filling with melty cheese and chewy dough. Dion's is an institution, and this particular location does a fine job upholding the brand's banner. They serve subs and salads, which seems like the smart thing to do. I was also very impressed with the rapport I saw between employees. That's the kind of functional team dynamic which gives me confidence.

    Tuscany pizza with half pepperoni
    Melissa A.

    New to this town and was told that Dion's is a local pizza shop with their homemade ranch dressing. Ordered the Tuscany gourmet pizza with half added pepperoni. The gourmet pizza comes with a thin crust and since my bf and I love thicker crust, Iris was so sweet to allow us to get the Tuscany pizza on thicker crust with no extra charge. Before I talk about the food, I want to give a shout-out to Iris because she was super helpful and patient as I asked so many questions. She was very accommodating to our order and overall had a great energy to her. The pizza was so delicious. It's flavorful and the toppings complimented each other so well. I've had the hardest time finding good places to eat in town so I'm glad I tried this place :) my go to pizza spot now.

    505
    Joe Joe B.

    While in New Mexico I figured I'd give their local pizza chain a try. This painfully below average pizza was a one and done experience. I tried the local 505 pizza with green chili on it. Crust was the highlight. Sauce was not my favorite and pepperoni was limp. Cheese was good and plentiful. But nothing made me fall in love. Inside of this location seemed kind of old and dingy, like it hasn't been updated in 20 years. For me personally, I would pick a non chain for pizza here or just go with a typical national chain you trust.

    Ashley L.

    We love the salads and subs here! Their homemade Ranch (especially the Green Chile) is the big draw and it is amazing! The salads are fresh and full of great toppings. We also love that Dion's tends to employ local youth to give them a sense of job responsibility and prepare them for the real world. They do sell pizza by the slice but it's a bit of a pet peeve of mine. They pre-make cheese pizza and then throw your toppings onto a slice and push it back through just enough to warm it. So your new toppings aren't cooked - they are just warm. If you are a veggie lover like I am, this doesn't cut it. My husband also hates doughy pizza so he asks for his pizza well-done but it only happens half the time.

    Tossed salad with provolone cheese
    Lori M.

    We decided to have a Dion's night tonite. We ordered a sausage, green chili and extra cheese, plus a tossed salad with provolone cheese, my favorite add on that most people don't even know about. Unfortunately they overcooked 3/4 of the pizza but they rarely mess up and their one of my favorite pizza places. It was still very tasty and they have the best green chili, better than most Mexican restaurants. So I gave them 4 stars as opposed to 5 because they really shouldn't have let that pizza go out the door being that overcooked. But all in all they are still one of my favorite pizza places! Don't forget to add provolone to your salads, you won't regret it!

    Dion's in Albuquerque
    Bruce K.

    Dion's was our choice because it was, well, open. Pizza, subs and a few salads on the menu. I chose the one with barbecue chicken. It took the promised 20 minutes to be ready and my name was called. Yay. Pizza was fresh and it was hot. The chicken was great but I thought that the barbecue sauce overwhelmed the flavor of it. A very hefty sprinkling of red pepper flakes was helpful. It was A-OK but I don't know that I'd return to Dion's.

    Tuscany pizza from Dion's
    Jenni M.

    I tried the Tuscany pizza a few weeks ago. It wasn't quite the Dion's pizza I remember. First, the artichokes were tough. After trying a few of them and spitting them all out, I took all of them off of my pizza. Second, the sauce was kind of bland. I liked the thin crust & all of the other main ingredients on the Tuscany, though. The service was kind of lame. I don't know if the kid couldn't understand my husband, but he asked my husband, "uh, what?" three times while he was ordering. I also think Dion's should scale up their order taking abilities. When you give your order now, the employee writes it on the little order pad only to read it back to you then seemingly enter the whole thing on the register just ask you again if the order is correct. Seems redundant & too time-consuming. My husband thought they would have a variety of chips to choose from, but not so much. Maybe next time will be better. Review #171

I peruse the menu, another customer drops their shake. Gonna be longer. That's fine, go help them. "No, I can take your order REALLY FAST." Well, I was looking at the menu, but cool to be rushed. I remember when the young lady that used to work there was at the counter. 6-8 people in line, greeted with a smile and Hi! Welcome in! There was a longer wait, but it was ok, because the service was good, and so was the food. Today? I'll never return. I spent over $15.00 including a credit card surcharge (a business owner that wants to take credit cards but can't be bothered to be a business owner and pay their bills.) I left a $5 cash tip - I figured I'd the business owner can't pay the 3% on a bad merchant account, they most likely aren't paying the staff livable wages... I sat down and put my gear down, and waited... for about 15 minutes, before this garbage salad that was falsely advertised as having toppings and 3 sliced chick'n strips. The entire salad didn't fill the bowl.? On the bottom were less than a teaspoon of diced tomatoes. In the entire salad there was ONE "fried onion." The lettuce was chopped like slop, there was barely enough chick'n to call it 1.5 slices. Absolute trash. For 15$ I ate my salad, listening as Morticia Addams' understudy pleasantly said good bye, have a nice day, et cetera to the customers who were leaving. I got up, threw my trash, walked out. Silence: The whole time I was in there, a cheap speaker was streaming some crappy 90s "radio friendly hip hop." When my salad was brought to me, even after explaining it's very hard to eat, or carry , a salad on a motorcycle, it arrived in a to-go/carry out, lid is RIGHT THERE,.Morticia helpfully pointed it out, a subtle hint that I wasn't a welcome guest. As I was gearing up to get on my motorcycle out comes our antagonist. Not to be polite or anything. To smoke or vape. I didn't stick around to smell which one she was doing in the doorway. I get it, lucky goose doesn't want my money. They've made it abundantly clear. That's fine. I'll go to Steelbender, where they have vegan options, and like that customers come on to give them money. I accidentally posted this review to the uptown location. I've never been, and will never be, to that location. This review was the knob hill location.

They also offer pate chau, a flaky puff pastry filled with pork pate, including a New Mexico style version with chicken and green chile. They have a variety of Vietnamese desserts like che, which I did not get a chance to try this time. My coworker loved their traditional Vietnamese hot coffee. I do not drink coffee, but I did enjoy one of their smoothies, which was refreshing and delicious. Overall, CODA Bakery is a go to spot for authentic Vietnamese flavors and one of the best places in Albuquerque for banh mi.
