Our Story

Discover the passion, tradition, and innovation behind Apache Pizza - Ireland's most authentic pizza experience crafted with love and delivered with pride.

The Apache Pizza Journey

Born from a passionate vision to bring authentic Italian flavors to the heart of Ireland, Apache Pizza began as a dream shared by three friends who believed that exceptional pizza should be accessible to everyone. Our story started in a small kitchen in Dublin, where traditional recipes met Irish warmth and hospitality.

What sets us apart is our unwavering commitment to quality ingredients, time-honored preparation methods, and the belief that every pizza tells a story. From our signature wood-fired ovens to our carefully sourced local ingredients, we've built Apache Pizza on the foundation of authenticity and excellence.
