Dions menu overview
The Dion's Menu, From Pizza to Subs
Pizza, salads, and subs in one place, so a single pickup or delivery order can cover the whole table.
One menu that covers different appetites
The Dion's menu is built around three things: pizza, salads, and subs. That combination is what lets a single order work for a group with different appetites. This page walks through what's on the menu, how the categories fit together, and how to choose when you're ordering for carryout or delivery.
If you are browsing the dions menu before you call or drive over, start with the meal you are having. A quick lunch, a family dinner, and an office pickup all point to a different mix. The notes below explain how regulars at dion's put the pieces together without over-ordering.
How to use this page
Start with pizza as the shareable base, then add lighter or separate items around it.
Add a salad when the table is mixed — it keeps vegetarians and lighter eaters in the same order.
Add subs when someone simply does not want pizza that night. Check crust notes before you decide.
Pick the style that matches how you're eating, not just what sounds familiar.
Thin, tavern-style, deep-dish, and Detroit-style each make a different kind of meal — the dion s menu gives you room to match the food to the moment.
Pizza is the center of the menu
Pizza anchors the menu, and it comes in more than one style so you're not locked into a single format. Thin crust and tavern-style suit casual meals and shareable portions. If you want something heavier and layered, deep-dish changes the meal into more of a sit-down occasion.
Custom toppings are part of the baseline at most U.S. chains now, partly because specialty pizzas pushed mainstream expectations beyond pepperoni and cheese. At Dion's Pizza, that means you can stay classic or branch out without leaving the pizza section.
Thin and tavern-style
Cut for sharing, easy to mix with salads and subs on the same ticket.
Deep-dish and layered
Taller, slower eating — better when you are sitting down together.
Salads do more than fill space
A salad on a pizza menu isn't decoration. It's the reason a vegetarian and a meat-eater can order from the same restaurant without a second stop. Salads also balance a heavier pizza order, which matters if you're feeding a mixed table.
For carryout, they hold up reasonably well if you keep dressings separate until you're ready to eat. If your group usually splits on where to order, the salad section is often what settles the decision — one fresh bowl can keep everyone at dions.
Subs for people who don't want pizza tonight
Subs cover the case where someone in the group simply doesn't want pizza. They're a full meal on their own, and they travel well for carryout. That makes them useful for lunch orders, office pickups, and family meals where preferences diverge.
You don't have to build the whole order around pizza just because you're ordering from a pizza restaurant. Add one or two subs next to a shared pie and the dion's order is done in a single stop.
Crust guide
Choosing a crust style
Crust style changes the eating occasion more than most people expect. Thin crust and tavern-style are built for quick, shareable eating. Deep-dish, associated with Chicago, is a tall, layered pizza commonly linked to sit-down meals and shareable portions.
Detroit-style, popularized nationally by chains like Jet's Pizza, is known for crispy edges and corner pieces. None of these is objectively better; they fit different moments. Match the crust to the meal you're actually having.

Toppings
Custom toppings and how to use them
Custom toppings let you adjust a pizza to the group instead of ordering three separate pies. The practical move is to pick one or two base pizzas and add toppings that cover the most people.
If someone has a strong preference, a half-and-half approach often works better than a compromise topping nobody loves. Specialty pizza trends, popularized by chains like California Pizza Kitchen, made nontraditional toppings normal, so you're not limited to the classic set.
A simple way to order for four to six people
One familiar base, one adjusted base, dressing on the side if a salad is in the bag. Ask the counter what half-and-half options the location supports.
Feeding a group from one menu
Group ordering gets easier when pizza, salads, and subs are all available. Round Table Pizza, founded in 1959 in Menlo Park, California, has long been associated with family takeout and group ordering for exactly this reason.
The math is simple: one pizza feeds several people, a salad adds a lighter option, and subs cover anyone who wants something different. You avoid the two-restaurant problem entirely.
Carryout and delivery considerations
Some items travel better than others. Pizza holds up well in a box for a short trip. Subs are similar. Salads are best when dressing is added at the destination.
If you're ordering for delivery, keep the trip short and check whether the location near you offers delivery at all, since that varies. Carryout is often the most predictable option when you want the food at its best.
Value versus range
Value pizza chains like Little Caesars, founded in 1959 in Garden City, Michigan, built their reputation on low-friction, low-price carryout. That's a legitimate model if price is your main constraint.
Dion's isn't positioned as a pure value play; the menu range across pizza, salads, and subs is part of what you're getting. Decide which matters more for this particular meal, then order accordingly.
How to order what you actually want
Start with the meal, not the menu. If it's a quick solo lunch, a sub or a small pizza makes sense. If it's a family dinner, one or two pizzas plus a salad covers most tables. If it's a group with mixed preferences, add subs.
Menu questions, answered
Short answers for carryout and delivery decisions. Availability can vary by location, so confirm details when you order.

Which crust styles are available?
The menu includes more than one style, including thin and tavern-style options, with deep-dish and Detroit-style as reference points for how crust changes the meal. Availability can vary by location.
Can I customize a pizza?
Custom toppings are part of the standard ordering experience at most U.S. pizza chains, including regional ones. The practical approach is to pick a base pizza and adjust toppings to cover the group.
