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.

Our Mission

To bring people together through the joy of exceptional pizza — crafted with the freshest ingredients, delivered with speed and care, and served with the warmth that makes every meal feel like home. We exist to be Ireland's most trusted pizza brand, one community at a time.

Our Core Values

Everything we do at Apache Pizza flows from a set of values that guide every decision, every pizza, and every customer interaction.

Fresh Ingredients

We source only the freshest, highest-quality ingredients — from locally grown vegetables to premium cheeses and carefully selected meats.

Made with Passion

Every pizza is handcrafted with genuine care and passion. We believe the difference between a good pizza and a great one is the love put into making it.

Community First

Apache Pizza is more than a restaurant — we are part of the Irish community. Supporting local suppliers and giving back to our neighbourhoods is core to who we are.

Consistent Excellence

Whether it's your first order or your hundredth, we hold ourselves to the same uncompromising standard of quality and service, every single time.
