    Pizza slice from The Special
    Christina H.

    I love me some Dion's! As usual, I ordered to pick up through the drive-through, which is convenient and easy. I generally order on the app and then drive through and pick up my order and I'm in and out and no time. I ordered a small pizza and a full salad with no mix. I have been so impressed with Dion's over the last few years because I've been able to get my salad without Dion's mix. Prior to that they would regularly mess up and give me the mix, which I cannot eat. It would ruin my whole salad, and I would end up having to throw it out. This issue seems to have been resolved! My salad was delicious and was as described, as was my pizza, which was scrumptious. I don't know what it is, but there's something about Dion's pizza crust! I can't get enough! I highly recommend Dion's anytime you're craving pizza. Even though they don't offer delivery, ordering through the app and driving through the drive-through is generally a quick process. Dion's is a local company so as always, get out there and eat local!

    Consistently good like it was 30+ years ago. Came in with family and there's been some menu changes over the years. Examples of this are the smaller gourmet pizzas and goodies. The service was fast and friendly. The place is clean and no frills. I guess they can no longer leave paper plates out. My guess is too many were taken.

    Better Ingredients. Better Pizza. Dion's. We were so glad to get pizza from Dion's as I haven't had it in likely a decade... and it was as good as I remember it!

    A small Carnivore. Loved it.

    A great Sunday night pie. We had the opportunity to watch Robert through the window as he single-handedly churned out perfect pie after pie. He is the hardest working guy we've seen all day. The place was clean, well staffed with attentive workers who were quick to jump in as needed to assist. We watched the entire process from their viewing platform and it helped fill the time. The pie was just what we needed after a long day of seeing the sights of Albuquerque.

    Got a pepperoni pizza for me and my two toddlers last night. I bit into my piece and chomped on something hard. I pulled it out of my mouth and it was a coiled piece of metal! Thank gooodness I didn't break a tooth and I don't even know if my kids swallowed any pieces. This is not okay at all. I have been going here for years and nothing like this has ever happened. This 100% needs to be addressed to employees to be more careful as this could have caused something serious.

(See pic) I ordered their wonderful Reuben w Caesar side and ate it with the fan shooing the flies while I ate inside. Seriously!! I did let her know the homemade croutons were stale and tough and not very edible. Service, food and drinks here are always very good and polite. I'll be back but not when the outside summer flies are taking over.

Staff were walking around constantly, dusting and rearranging chairs to make sure everything looked nice for guests. Our server was wonderful, quickly bringing a little plate of bread with a garlicky tomato bruschetta spread and a bit of olive oil. I think the restaurant should swap for a nicer EVOO, but the complimentary bread was a nice tide-me-over while we looked over the menu. My only other note: cleanliness of the dinnerware. He found a food bit dried on his fork and requested a new one, but then (the exterior of) his wine glass was smudged with something crusty, too... Not the server's fault by any means, but definitely something we hope the restaurant will pay closer attention to in the future. I got chicken Parmesan, and he got the traditional gnocchi. The server was kind to accommodate my request for Alfredo on the pasta side, and we were both super impressed by the house made tomato sauce. My chicken was perfectly cooked, and the pasta wasn't overcooked - which was a marked difference from M'Tucci's (and other Italian-American restaurants we've tried in the ABQ area). We agreed that we want to return to Joe's because it was a quick, easy, affordable, and super satisfying meal. Thanks, Joe's Pasta House! See you again soon.

It was extremely busy and loud. I didn't wait in line to order, but it took them 50 minutes to prepare our salads. The service wasn't very friendly or helpful at first.

They were the best salads I've ever tasted which I why I'm giving three stars instead of less. My mom ordered the 505 Cobb and they forgot her chicken which was frustrating after waiting for nearly an hour. However, they did make up for it by making her extra chicken! And their chicken was absolutely delicious!! I ordered Persephone's Lunch which was outstanding. I added chicken to it which made it nearly $20 for a bowl salad.

My wife and I always split things the same way: she gets a slice of The Angry, and I go with The Pepp. The combination of spicy pepperoni and hot honey is absolutely incredible!

We also never skip the Caesar salad, which is generously sized and topped with a mountain of freshly shredded Parmesan. My only complaint has nothing to do with the food.

Dorothea's is a nice white table cloth restaurant that feels upscale but still homey enough to bring our soon to be 2 yo grandson. We had: Steamed clams 5/5: The clams were prepared, presented and flavored well. There were 2 clams that didn't open so it would have been nice if they just removed them instead of tempting us to pry them open (which would be bad clams) but the other clams were so good we wanted to open them! The sauce was a little too wine-y for me but I can see how some people would enjoy dipping the bread they give you into it. Crab mac and cheese 5/5: Wow. The bechamel sauce was so rich and creamy! Good chunks of crab made this mac and cheese so decadent! Greek salad 4/5: This was fresh and tasty but I was a little surprised by how small the salad was considering all the other dishes have such an amazing price point! It would serve once person well. Lobster pasta 5/5: Nice spicy kick that hits you later. Good chunks of lobster and the pasta was so light! I forgot to ask if it was fresh pasta or not. Maybe a question for our next visit! Niko gyro 5/5: the meat was good but what made it amazing was all those nice shoestring fries on top! The fries also had some kind of spicy pepper on top that gives it the extra kick! Traditional gyro 4/5: This was just your traditional gyro with fries. It's good but it doesn't seem fancy! Overall I love this place! The price point is amazing and if we have the time I would definitely like to come again with the family.

My favorite were the little neck clams, lamb lollipop, and Greek plate. The Saganaki, crab stack, and tiropita were just okay. Lamb Shank: This was one of the best entrees ordered. The meat was fall apart tender and flavorful. The orzo was a little watery but was cooked to the correct doneness. Branzino: I assumed that this would be a whole branzino fish but they had already taken it apart which was nice. However, there were a couple of bones that were missed. Crab Mac: This was cheesy and very good. My only grip is that the pasta was a little overcooked. Service: 5 The servers were patient with all the questions and orders from a big group. They did not make any mistakes and food came out at good intervals. Ambiance: 5 The restaurant would be perfect for a date night. It wasn't too noisy and offered a little privacy between tables.
