I’ve been to a lot of Dions locations over the years and I would have to say every time I come back to this one , it is more tasty than any other location. I don’t know if it’s their ovens or what, but but one thing I could tell you is that every time I get a green chili pepperoni Pizza, it is absolutely loaded. I’ve been to other locations and a lot of The Times it’s kind of skimpy. This location is never skimpy, and is always extra tasty. And the staff are always on point. In my opinion, I think this is the best Dion’s location in Albuquerque.

Staff were lovely; he even gave me an extra dressing because it had taken so long, which I hadn’t noticed anyway. I had the Italian sub, which was excellent as always. I usually have it with the potato chips, but this time, I had the fruit cup. I was extremely pleased with it. The fruit was fresh and crisp and very flavorful. Those blueberries — wow. And the pineapple… It was like Hawaii was next door to Willamette Valley. I gave a 4 star on Atmosphere because that place is extremely noisy and LOUD. And the dining room was not anywhere near half-full. The acoustics seem designed to magnify every sound. It’s always like that, which is why I get the food to go and then enjoy it in the silence of my home. I have a Dion’s sub or greek salad every time I go by there, which isn’t that often, so it’s always a treat. Their pizza is good, too. 🙂

Picked up an online order & my bread was like a brick & rubber cheese, lettuce on sandwich I didn’t ask for , when I got home 10 minutes later Called the store, manager offered to remake it- all ready 30 minutes wasted on the first trip & waited in the restaurant more than necessary for them to get my food- never again! Didn’t waste my time & fuel to chance it, Hey Dion’s, how about a refund??????

Great pizza and great atmosphere. I came here for lunch with some coworkers and was recommended the Duke City pizza to try and it did not disappoint! Very delicious and was a great local spot for lunch. Definitely family friendly. They have a spot for kids to watch the pizza get made. So fun!
I thought the menu had some great options and variety.

I made a Google the 1st review before contacting the owner, but I should have contacted them sooner because I ended up going back to the location tonight and was even more disappointed with my order. I ordered just a plain cheese pizza with brownie. The pizza was so under cooked the cheese was barely melted and the dough was soft and flimsy. I had to bake it in my own oven to finish cooking! I can’t believe how downhill this location has gone, im extremely disappointed with this experience!

The manager of the location contacted me again and was able to help me. I appreciate her and trying to resolve the issue.

A must stop every time I am visiting! Pizza is always delicious! Even tonight, when my pizza was made incorrectly (it happens), the team caught it and made it right immediately. The younger gentleman (he was blonde) was professional, apologetic, and kept me updated as they made me another fresh pizza. Top notch customer service!

This is one of the best Dion’s locations I’ve been to. The service was quick and the food was even better. Not to mention the calming atmosphere (I went here at night when they weren’t busy). I would definitely recommend going to this location!

DIONS is a New Mexico staple, but in recent years the quality has gone down hill. I can not remember a time recently where I order a pizza and it was even cut properly. I go to grab a slice it tears in weird spots because they couldn’t be bothered to ensure it was actually cut right. This is crazy such a simple thing can really ruin the experience of eating this pizza. Just please do better DIONS

I was with a big group that came relatively close to closing time. The service was fantastic and the food was amazing. I needed to order something to go at the end of the night and the young man that took my order named Izzy was very professional and courteous and put in the order even though they were closing up. Fantastic experience – awesome crew that night. Thank you guys!
