From a single New Mexico store to Colorado's most beloved pizza brand — discover the story, the people, and the passion behind every slice of Dions.
Dions started with a single belief: great food brings people together. What began as a small neighborhood pizza shop in 1978 has grown into one of Colorado's most recognized and beloved food brands — all without ever compromising on the freshness of our ingredients or the warmth of our welcome.
Every dough ball is hand-crafted daily. Every sauce is made from scratch using our original recipes. Our commitment to quality hasn't changed since day one — only our family has grown larger, and so has our love for the communities we serve across Colorado Springs and beyond.
From feeding local sports teams to catering neighborhood events, Dions has always been more than a restaurant. We're a Colorado institution woven into the fabric of everyday life for hundreds of thousands of families.
Our values aren't just words on a wall — they're the standards we hold ourselves to every single day, in every single slice we serve.
We hand-craft our dough fresh every single day. No shortcuts. No frozen bases. Just the real thing, made with care, every morning before we open our doors.
We believe in investing back into the neighborhoods we serve. From school fundraisers to local sponsorships, Dions is proud to be a cornerstone of Colorado life.
Every ingredient is sourced with intention. Every recipe has been refined over decades. Quality isn't a marketing claim for us — it's a daily commitment we take seriously.
Our team members are our greatest asset. We invest in training, growth, and genuine care for every person who puts on a Dions apron — because happy teams make great food.
From a single pizza counter to a Colorado institution — here's the story of how Dions grew one slice at a time.
Dions opened its very first location in Albuquerque, New Mexico, with just a handful of tables, a hand-rolled dough recipe, and one big dream: to make the best pizza in the Southwest. Within weeks, lines stretched out the door.
Growing demand led Dions to expand north. Our first Colorado Springs location opened, instantly becoming a neighborhood staple. The Colorado community embraced us as one of their own, and we never looked back.
We introduced our now-legendary house-made ranch dressing, which quickly became as famous as the pizza itself. Customers started requesting it by name, and it became the defining flavor of the Dions experience.
Dions launched its formal community giving program, partnering with schools, sports leagues, and nonprofits across Colorado. Over the next decade, we contributed over $5 million in donations and fundraising support to local communities.
A complete menu refresh introduced new premium ingredients, expanded salad options, and our scratch-made soup lineup. We invested in sustainable sourcing partnerships and committed to removing artificial preservatives from our core recipes.
With 20+ locations serving over a million customers annually, Dions stands as Colorado's most beloved pizza brand. Every day we open our doors with the same spirit as 1978 — fresh dough, honest ingredients, and a commitment to the communities that made us who we are.
Our team is our heart. From the kitchen to the counter, these are the dedicated people who bring the Dions experience to life every single day.
