Dion’s

There’s nothing worse than the redundant but, here I go again. While there are COUNTLESS options in Albuquerque for pizza, subs and salads, Dions is the place you want to be! Seriously, if you haven’t tried Dions yet, run, don’t walk!
Their pizzas are stellar and delicious every time! Their subs? To freaking die for! The breads and crusts they serve? Beyond reproach! Their salads? Crazy fresh and delicious! The freshest you can buy! I can’t even compete and, I’m a certified Chef with a huge garden! Talk about consistency in excellence!
I typically forget to do my Unilocal Check In when I visit most restaurants but, my family feeds here regularly. Dions, regardless of what franchise you visit, are always spotless! And, their staff? For being primarily youth, are so happy, helpful and professional. That speaks volumes for their management. Now doesn’t it?
Anyway, if I could offer some constructive criticism, I’d ask Dions to start making Hot Chicken Wings. If they did, I wouldn’t have to make two stops [another at pizza 9] for weekend dinners and football games. [i always feel like I’m cheating on dions somehow when i do that] And, tonight was the VERY first time I left Dions somewhat bummed. I always order my pizzas with granulated garlic and Dions always accommodates my stupid request. Even tho they don’t have to. But, tonight, even after I clarified that request 4 times, they didn’t. I was SO bummed when I arrived home. Oh well, at least I had some at home and the pizza was saved! It’s just so much better when they do it for some reason?
So, Dions? If those are your worst two sins against mankind, you’re golden. EAT AT DIONS!

I love dions pizza lets get that out of the way but this particular store is lack luster. The staff seems to be more concerned with messing around and acting up then service. The pizza is always good but the salads vary greatly in quality from visit to visit as well as the sub’s (quantity of ingredients mostly sometimes I get a small hogs worth of meat other times I think they just wave it at the bowl and hope some of the flavor lands on the lettuce) probably just growing pains and hope it improves as time goes on.

Dion’s is steady and true, always.
This is the place where highschoolers hang out with their friends, where they get their first job, and where families come to eat. They’re all over town, but this particular one is the only one in the South Valley.
I’ll be up front here, I don’t ever eat the pizza. I’m not a fan, so I stick to salads and subs here. I love the ranch salad– the salad is always the good kind, the veggies are fresh and crisp, the pastrami and cheese is perfect, and the croutons are crunchy. Being a creature of habit, I also like the pastrami sub here, though the meatball is delicious also. I’m not talking the best you’ll ever have, but reliably good, filling, and flavorful. For dessert, I always make it a point to grab a brownie. They have them with or without walnuts, and they are fab. The ranch dressing here is some of the best you’ll find anywhere, and is a local favorite with many. Refills on your drinks are free, and their lemonade is awesome.
As I said above, this is the place where highschoolers work. You order at the counter, and they call your name when your food’s ready. There’s no table service, but they do wipedown tables throughout the day. They offer paper plates, silverware, and all of the necessary supplies to have a feast and you won’t break the bank doing it.
All in all, Dion’s is a great place to get your grub on, meet up with some friends, or just hang out.

Typical Dions all the essential items as the others. Same great taste same atmosphere. Can be a little tricky to get to. The service is good as ever but seems a bit slow compared to many other locations.

Dion’s is a welcome addition to the South Valley. The restaurant is clean, the service is prompt, cheerful, and helpful, the food is outstanding, both in flavor and relative value. I appreciate the option of ordering online and then driving through to pick up my food. A meatball sub takes 10 minutes to prepare, a large pizza 20 minutes. All can be customized to add or subtract ingredients to suit your exact preferences. I’ve never had a bad experience there, and I eat there weekly.
