Apache Pizza has been hand-crafting fresh, flavourful pizzas for the people of Ireland since 1996. From our very first kitchen in Dublin to locations across the country, we've built our reputation on quality ingredients, bold flavours, and a genuine love for great food. Discover the apachepizza story.
Apache Pizza began with a simple idea — make exceptional pizza using only the freshest ingredients, served hot and fast to families and friends across Ireland. What started as a single store on Bachelors Walk, Dublin, has grown into one of Ireland's most recognised and loved pizza brands.
Our founders believed that great pizza doesn't need to be complicated. Hand-stretched dough, premium tomato sauce, locally sourced toppings where possible, and a genuine passion for the craft — that's been our formula since day one. Over nearly three decades, those values have never changed.
Our mission is simple — deliver happiness in every box. Everything we do starts with our core values.
To deliver the finest, freshest pizza to every home and table in Ireland — made with love, served with pride, and enjoyed with family and friends.
To be the most trusted and beloved pizza brand in Ireland — not just for our food, but for the joy and community spirit we bring to every neighbourhood we serve.
Every pizza that leaves our kitchen is made with fresh dough, premium sauce, and quality toppings — no shortcuts, no compromises, always honest food.
Locally sourced where possible, never frozen when fresh is available.
We reinvest in local communities, sponsor sports clubs, and support Irish businesses.
Consistent, fast delivery so your pizza arrives hot and exactly as ordered.
High standards in every kitchen, every shift, every single pizza.
From a single Dublin store to a nationwide institution — here are the milestones that shaped Apache Pizza.
