What sets us apart
Why La Vera?
Flavor starts long before the oven. Here's what goes into every La Vera pizza.
Caputo Flour
We use Caputo flour — the gold standard of Naples — for a light, digestible crust with unbeatable flavor.
24-Hour Fermentation
Our dough ferments slowly for 24 hours, developing deep flavor and an airy, open crumb.
Hand-Stretched & Handmade
Every single pizza is handmade and hand-stretched by Italian pizzaiolos. No machines, no shortcuts.
100% Fior di Latte
Our mozzarella is 100% fior di latte, made from pure cow's milk — creamy, fresh and delicate.
Vine-Ripened Tomatoes
Our tomato sauce is made from vine-ripened Italian tomatoes grown under the southern Italian sun.
IQF Freshness
Each pizza goes through an IQF (Individual Quick Freezing) system that locks in freshness and flavor for 24 months — with no conservatives or preservatives, ever.
The name
La Vera Pizza means “the real pizza” in Italian.
We chose the name because it reflects exactly how our pizzas are made:
- REAL Italian Dough
- REAL Italian Ingredients
- REAL Traditional Methods
- REAL Italian Pizzaiolo
THE REAL PIZZA.

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.
As a women-owned business, K&A is built on the belief that authenticity and leadership go hand in hand.
