About us
Karen Ross
Co-Founder of K&A Culinary Connections
My relationship with pizza truly began in Italy—the only place where I could enjoy it in its purest form. Experiencing authentic Italian pizza there changed my perspective, revealing a simplicity and care that can only come from tradition and intention. That experience stayed with me and ultimately inspired the idea behind our distributorship: to share the same quality, balance, and authenticity with customers in the United States.
I am the Co-Founder of an Italian pizza distributorship committed to honoring that tradition from source to shelf. With more than 20 years of experience as an attorney focused on regulatory compliance for a global leader in the convenience and fuel retail industry, I bring a thoughtful, steady approach to building the business—one that values integrity, transparency, and long-term relationships. At the heart of it all is a genuine respect for the craft and a desire to make something exceptional accessible, without losing what makes it special.
