Our Story

Apache Pizza began with a simple dream: to bring authentic Italian flavors to the heart of Ireland. What started as a small family venture has grown into a beloved local institution, serving communities across Dublin and beyond with passion, quality, and tradition.

Our founders, inspired by their travels through Italy, were determined to recreate the authentic pizza experience they fell in love with. Using traditional wood-fired ovens, hand-stretched dough, and the finest ingredients sourced from both Italy and local Irish farms, Apache Pizza was born.

Today, we continue to honor those founding principles while embracing innovation. Every pizza that leaves our kitchen is a testament to our commitment to quality, authenticity, and the communities we serve.

Our Mission

To create exceptional pizza experiences that bring people together, using the finest ingredients and traditional techniques while supporting our local community. We believe that every meal should be a celebration of flavor, quality, and the joy of sharing good food with good people.
