Dion's was born from a simple dream: to bring the warmth of homemade pizza to the heart of Las Cruces. In 1978, founder Dion Bustamante opened our first location with a wood-fired oven, a handful of fresh ingredients, and a recipe passed down through generations.
Today, that same spirit lives in every slice we serve. We source our ingredients locally whenever possible, hand-stretch every dough, and treat every customer like family. That's the Dion's difference — and it's been our promise for over four decades.
We partner with local New Mexico farms to bring you the freshest produce, cheeses, and proteins on every pizza.
No shortcuts here. Every dough is hand-stretched, every sauce is made from scratch, and every pizza is baked to order.
From school fundraisers to local events, Dion's is proud to give back to the Las Cruces community that made us who we are.
Everything we do is guided by a set of principles that have shaped Dion's since day one — from how we cook to how we treat our team and our community.
We never compromise on the quality of our ingredients or our cooking. Every dish that leaves our kitchen must meet the Dion's standard of excellence.
Las Cruces is our home, and we're proud to support local farmers, hire locally, and invest in the well-being of our neighborhood and its people.
We're committed to responsible sourcing and reducing our environmental footprint — from compostable packaging to cutting food waste in our kitchen.
Whether you dine in, order online, or call us for catering, we treat every customer with warmth, respect, and genuine care — every single time.
From humble beginnings to becoming a Las Cruces institution, here are the milestones that shaped who we are today.
Dion Bustamante opens the very first Dion's location on Lohman Avenue with a wood-fired oven, a handwritten menu, and the determination to make Las Cruces' best pizza.
Dion's wins the Las Cruces "Best Pizza" award for the first time — an honor we've continued to hold for over 25 of the past 40 years. Community trust becomes our greatest asset.
We introduced our now-legendary Subs & Salads menu, bringing fresh handcrafted sandwiches and garden-fresh salads to complement our classic pizzas. The response was overwhelming.
Responding to customer demand, Dion's officially launches its catering division, bringing our fresh flavors to weddings, corporate events, school fundraisers, and community gatherings across New Mexico.
Dion's commits to sustainability — partnering with local New Mexico farms, switching to compostable packaging, and implementing a full kitchen composting program to reduce waste by 40%.

With an all-new website, expanded delivery zones, and exciting new menu innovations, Dion's enters its next chapter — always staying true to our roots while looking boldly toward the future.
Our team is our secret ingredient. From our head chefs to our delivery drivers, every Dion's team member shares the same commitment to quality, community, and great food.
