About Dion's
Bold Flavors,
Real People
dion's has been serving Albuquerque and beyond with handcrafted dions pizza and vibrant New Mexican cuisine since our founding. Every slice, every meal is made with passion, fresh ingredients, and a commitment to our community that never wavers.
The dions Legacy
Starts Here
It all began in 1978 when a small family-run counter on Central Avenue in Albuquerque started serving what locals would come to know as the best dion's pizza in New Mexico. From a handful of tables and a wood-fired oven, Dions grew into a beloved institution — one that generations of families have called their own.
Over four decades, dions pizza has remained the cornerstone of our menu — handcrafted daily with fresh dough, signature sauces, and local toppings that reflect New Mexico's rich culinary heritage. From our original location on Central Ave to twelve thriving restaurants across the state, we've never lost sight of what makes us special: real food, real people, real community.
Today, Dions continues to serve Albuquerque and United States with the same spirit and dedication that started it all — and every Order Now placed is a new chapter in that story.
