Who We Are
The Apache Pizza Story
Apache Pizza is Ireland's beloved pizza brand, born from a simple belief: everyone deserves a truly great pizza — made with care, real ingredients, and soul.
What started as a single location in Gort, Co. Galway, has grown into a recognised name across Ireland. From day one, our founders were obsessed with getting the details right — the perfect dough, the richest tomato sauce, the finest toppings sourced from trusted local suppliers.
"We don't just make pizza. We craft experiences — one handcrafted slice at a time, with every order made fresh to order for our community."
Today, apachepizza continues to grow, but our commitment to quality and community has never changed. Every pizza that leaves our kitchen carries the same passion that sparked this journey — and that's something we're incredibly proud of.
