Our Journey

How Apache Pizza Became
Dublin's Favourite

It all started in a small kitchen in North Dublin, where our founder had one simple dream — to bring the authentic taste of wood-fired pizza to Ireland. Apache Pizza was born from that passion, and since our very first slice was served in 1996, we've never looked back.

Over nearly three decades, Apache Pizza has grown from a single location in Dublin to one of Ireland's most beloved pizza brands. Every pizza we make carries the same dedication to quality that started it all — hand-stretched dough, premium toppings and sauces crafted from scratch every day. The apachepizza tradition of putting our customers first has guided every decision we've ever made.
