Our Story

Founded in 1999, Apache Pizza began as a small family-owned restaurant in the heart of Dublin with a simple dream: to bring authentic, high-quality food to the local community. What started as a humble establishment on Nassau Street has grown into one of Dublin's most beloved food destinations.

Our journey began when our founder, inspired by traditional Irish recipes passed down through generations, decided to create a place where families could gather to enjoy fresh, wholesome meals made with love and the finest ingredients.

Over the years, we've stayed true to our roots while embracing innovation. We've expanded our menu, improved our services, and adapted to meet the changing needs of our community, but our core values remain the same: quality, authenticity, and exceptional customer service.

Today, Apache Pizza is more than just a restaurant - we're a cornerstone of the Dublin community, serving thousands of satisfied customers and continuing to uphold the traditions that made us who we are.
