The Apache Pizza Story — Made with Heart
Apache Pizza began as a simple idea: bring genuinely great pizza to the people of Naas. What started as a single outlet on Sallins Road quickly became a local institution — a place where families gather, friends reunite and everyone leaves satisfied.
Every Apache pizza is handcrafted from scratch using our own dough recipe, slow-cooked tomato sauce and the finest toppings sourced locally wherever possible. We believe food should taste the way it's meant to — fresh, bold and honest.
As apachepizza grew, so did our commitment to quality. We've never cut corners, never traded freshness for convenience, and we're prouder than ever of what comes out of our kitchen every single day.
- Handcrafted dough, made daily
- Locally sourced ingredients
- Family-friendly dining
- Fast delivery across Naas
- 20+ years in Co. Kildare
- Vegetarian & gluten-free options
What Drives Us
Our Mission & Vision
Everything we do at Apache Pizza comes back to three core promises we make to every customer who walks through our door — or orders online.
Our Mission
To serve the best handcrafted pizza in Ireland — every order, every day — using honest ingredients, skilled hands and genuine care for each and every customer.
Our Vision
To be the community's most trusted pizza restaurant — a place where great food, warm welcome and consistent quality make every visit worth coming back for.
Our Promise
Fresh dough, real cheese, proper toppings. No shortcuts. No compromise. If it doesn't meet our standards, it doesn't go out. That's the Apache Pizza promise.
What We Stand For
Our Core Values
These aren't just words on a wall — they're the standards that shape every decision we make, from the ingredients we choose to the way we treat our team and customers.
Freshness First
We never use frozen dough or pre-made sauces. Every base is hand-stretched and every sauce is made in-house using real tomatoes and herbs.
Community Roots
Apache Pizza belongs to Naas. We support local suppliers, sponsor community events and treat every customer like a neighbour — because they are.
Uncompromising Quality
From mozzarella to mushrooms, we source the best we can find. Quality is non-negotiable at Apache Pizza — it's how we've earned Naas's trust for over 20 years.
Responsible Practices
We minimise waste, use eco-friendly packaging and support ethical sourcing — because great food shouldn't come at the planet's expense.
Our Journey
The Apache Pizza Timeline
From a single outlet in Naas to a beloved Co. Kildare institution — here's how Apache Pizza grew into what it is today.

The First Oven Lights Up
Apache Pizza opens its doors at Unit 2 Sallins Road, Naas. A small team, a big oven and an even bigger dream to bring handcrafted pizza to Co. Kildare.
2006
Naas Falls in Love
Word spreads fast in a tight-knit town. Apache Pizza becomes the go-to for Friday nights, family dinners and everything in between. The queue out the door says it all.
2011
Going Digital
We launch our first online ordering system — because great pizza should be one click away. Delivery times drop, smiles multiply, and apachepizza.com becomes a Naas household name.

We listen, learn and expand. New gourmet toppings, gluten-free bases, vegetarian and vegan options join the menu — without compromising the classics everyone loves.
2020
Kildare's Pizza Lifeline
When the world paused, Apache Pizza kept serving. We adapted fast — expanded contactless delivery, added community support meals and showed up for Naas when it mattered most.
