Dion's Pizza
85.00
Score
3950 E Lohman Ave, Las Cruces, NM 88011, USA
The pizza crust at Dion's possesses a distinctively sturdy base, yielding a satisfying chew without significant greasiness. Toppings on the 505 pizza were well-proportioned, contributing to an overall robust flavor profile that proved memorable enough to prompt a return visit.
Dion's subs feature a solid foundation of fresh bread, supporting standard, albeit competent, ingredient selections. While the pizza was generally well-executed, one instance saw it slightly overcooked, resulting in a tougher texture.
The establishment presents a straightforward approach to its offerings, with an emphasis on assembly-line efficiency. While the pizza’s flavor is agreeable, its density can make it a substantial choice.
