Krakelen Pizza Is a Great Place to Fill Your Pizza Cravings

The annual Corvallis Indoor Market began on Jan. 11 and runs every Saturday until April 11 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and is located at the Benton County Fairgrounds in Corvallis. It’s full of delicious in-season vegetables, fresh smoked fish, and hand-crafted goods such as smooth wooden bowls or even warm felt hats; but that’s not all this winter market has to offer.

There's plenty of food carts set up by the booths lined up at the Benton County Fairgrounds to choose from, but one establishment stands out. With a bright red, wood-fired oven emitting a deep smoky aroma, Krakelen LLC is the premier option for delicious slices of oven baked pizza during the Corvallis Indoor Winter Market.

The owner of the stand, Lara Herrman, was inspired to create Krakenlen when she was finished with the military in 2017. She decided she wanted to start working for herself, and wanted to do something she was passionate about. So her and her husband Wolf Herrman created their family business Krakelen LLC.

Krakelen LLC is a veteran-owned food stand that creates their fresh wood-fired pizza right in front of you; from tossing the dough for each order to sprinkling parmesan cheese on top while it’s still piping hot. All of their ingredients are prepared the night before, ensuring that fresh taste with every bite.

Krakelen also includes mobile catering, which means you’ll be asked for your phone number when you order your pizza, and they will conveniently text you when your pizza is finished. Because of this, you can keep exploring the market instead of standing around waiting for your lunch.

When you pick up your pizza you’ll notice that they don’t use paper plates. Instead they used plates made from palm leaves that have been pressed into plates.

“No trees were harmed in this process,” says Wolf, “and they’re much sturdier than paper plates.”

Together the Herrmans have been involved with the winter market for about a year, but they have plans to expand their brand soon. You can follow their Facebook and Instagram @Krakelen, and check out their catering menu on their website at krakelencatering.com.
