How Dions Became a New Mexico Icon
What started as a single counter-service pizza shop on Albuquerque's 4th Street grew into the most trusted name in dion's pizza across the entire state of New Mexico.
In 1978, founder Dion Overton opened the doors to his first location with one promise: make every pizza like you'd make it for your own family. Using fresh-milled dough, hand-crushed tomatoes, and locally sourced produce, that philosophy resonated immediately with the Albuquerque community.
Through four decades, dions has stayed true to its roots — never freezing ingredients, never cutting corners, and never forgetting the neighbors who made it all possible. Every pie that leaves our kitchen carries that same original commitment.
Today, with 12 locations across New Mexico, Dion's continues to be a family tradition — a place where generations gather, memories are made, and great food is always guaranteed.
