Delivery Help and Practical FAQs
Ordering Apache Pizza from Main Street: how long delivery tends to take, how collection works, and how to plan a family evening.
This guide answers the questions that come up most often before you order — timing, payment at the counter, and planning for four or five people.
Timing at Rathmines
How long delivery usually takes
Delivery time depends on the store's current load and how far your address sits from Main Street. On a quiet midweek evening, a Rathmines delivery is usually quicker than on a Friday or Saturday night, when the kitchen is handling a queue of orders.
No store can promise a fixed delivery time, and you should treat any estimate as a guide rather than a commitment. If timing matters — guests arriving, children to feed — ordering earlier in the evening is the reliable move. Pizza delivery help in Ireland always comes back to the same point: the estimate reflects the moment you order, not a fixed slot.
Why delivery times change
Three things shift the wait
Orders ahead of yours
Kitchen queue on busy nights
Weekends + holidays press hardest
Distance from Main Street
Closer addresses move faster
Edge of radius takes longer
Traffic around Rathmines
Ranelagh + Rathmines at peak
South Dublin roads slow down
None of this is specific to Apache Pizza — it is how takeaway delivery works in any Irish city. Weekends and public holidays add further pressure, so allow extra time and keep the evening flexible.
Rathmines after dark — peak hours slow the roads between the counter and your door.
Paying at collection
If you collect from 12 Main Street, payment is handled in person at the counter. This site does not process online card payments, and collection orders do not require a card to be entered here.
Bring your order reference or the details you gave when you ordered ahead, so the counter can match your box quickly. If you have a question about which payment methods the counter accepts, ask the store directly when you place the order — it can vary, and the team will confirm.
At the counter — have your order name ready and the handover takes a moment.
Family takeaway Dublin
Planning a family takeaway evening
For four or five people, two large pizzas plus two sides usually covers the meal well. Keep one pizza plain for younger children and put heavier toppings on the second.
Order before 6pm for a calmer delivery window, and write the topping list down before you call.
Collection versus delivery for a family order
Collection is often the better choice for larger orders — you pick up at peak freshness and avoid the risk of a busy delivery slot. If your address is inside the radius and you prefer delivery, ordering earlier helps.
If you are on the edge of the coverage area, check before you plan around it. An address that worked last month can fall outside the radius later.
See ordering and delivery optionsIngredients and dietary questions
If you have an allergy or a specific dietary requirement, call the store and ask before ordering. Online listings are useful for browsing, but the kitchen is the only place that can confirm what is in a dish and how it is prepared.
This matters more for pizza than for some other foods, because toppings and shared preparation surfaces both come into it. For anyone vegetarian in the group, most of the apachepizza menu can be adjusted — confirm the specific item with the store.
If something goes wrong with an order
Contact the store directly as soon as you can. Order issues are resolved by the outlet, not through this guide. Keep your order reference or the name the order was placed under, and call the same number you used to order.
The sooner you raise it, the easier it is for the store to sort out. If you ordered through a delivery app, you can also check its help view — but for a direct order from Rathmines, the counter on Main Street is the fastest route.
Pizza collection FAQs
Quick answers before you order
Straight answers on tracking, coverage, card payment at the counter, timing for a family meal, and allergies. Still unsure? The store confirms it in one call.
Ask the store via contactCan I track my delivery?
If you ordered through a delivery app, you will usually see a tracking view. Direct orders from the Rathmines counter do not have that, so call the store on +353 1 497 0000 if you need an update.
Do you deliver to my address?
Check your Eircode in the ordering flow or call the store. Delivery radius is set per outlet, so it is the Rathmines store that confirms coverage for your street.
Can I pay by card on collection?
Payment at collection is handled at the counter on Main Street. Ask the store which methods it accepts when you order, since this can vary.
How far ahead should I order for a family meal?
For a weekday evening, ordering before 6pm usually avoids the peak. For weekends, give the kitchen more time and expect a longer wait — Apache Pizza kitchens handle a queue on Friday and Saturday nights.
What if I have an allergy?
Call the store directly before you order. The kitchen is the only reliable source for ingredient and preparation details, especially with shared surfaces and mixed toppings.
