The Story Behind Apache Pizza
Apache Pizza has been crafting Dublin's favourite stone-baked pizzas since 1996. We are more than a restaurant — we are a passion for fresh ingredients, bold flavours, and community. Discover the people and values that drive every slice we make across Ireland.
From a Single Oven to Dublin's Favourite Pizza
It all started with a single stone-baked oven, a handful of fresh ingredients, and an unshakeable belief that great pizza could change someone's day.
Apache Pizza was founded in 1996 in Dublin by a team of food lovers who wanted to bring authentic, stone-baked pizza to Ireland. We believed that pizza should be made with locally-sourced, fresh ingredients — never frozen, never rushed. That philosophy has guided every decision we've made over the past 28 years.
What began as a single location in Dublin's Old Bawn Shopping Centre quickly grew thanks to the loyalty of our customers and the dedication of our team. Our apachepizza community spans across Ireland, and every order we fulfil is a reminder of why we started in the first place — to create something truly delicious that brings people together.
Today, Apache Pizza remains proudly independent, family-spirited, and committed to the same quality standards that built our reputation. Every pizza you order carries the same care and craft as that very first slice we made back in 1996.
