About Ines
Ines Glaser grew up internationally as the daughter of diplomats. No matter where her family landed, one thing always connected her to new places and people: pizza.
Before launching Lupa Cotta, Ines worked in film and television production on Survivor, a role that took her across Central America, Asia, and the South Pacific.
With a deep interest in dough, fire, and global food traditions, Ines immersed herself fully in the craft. Her journey led her from pizza school in Naples (AVPN), to the line at one of Los Angeles’s top Italian restaurants (Sotto), and later to apprenticeships with world-renowned chefs in Copenhagen (Bæst). When she returned home, she brought that training to life through Lupa Cotta — offering small pop-ups at natural wine bars across Los Angeles.
Over the years, Lupa Cotta has evolved from a one-woman pizza venture into a curated culinary brand. Ines has created DIY pizza kits, cooked for high-profile clients, collaborated with media and lifestyle brands, and consulted for restaurants on dough programs and recipe development. Ines also writes PIZZA TOURIST, a travel and food newsletter featuring inventive recipes, chef-driven guides, and honest reflections on building a creative business from scratch.
““A+ No Notes””
““It was beyond easy and I was SO impressed with the quality of the dough + how crispy it turned out. Pretty much the entire dinner was about how much we loved the dough””
““Please do another dough drop soon. Need to stock my freezer for Lupa Cotta pizza nights!””
““Every Lupa Cotta chef we’ve worked with has been professional, kind, and talented. They elevate every event.” ”
