Dear ColumbusUnderground folks,
Today Peggy and I made a decision to permanently close the bonoPIZZA operation on Russell Street. During our time there, we met many nice people and we loved our neighbors. So it took quite a bit of thought to arrive at this decision.
Kent Rigsby owns the bakery where Bono was located, and he was very nice and even helpful to us. But it became apparent that the bakery staff didn’t share his enthusiasm and the shared-space arrangement became untenable for us.
We believe we gave the Short North a neighborhood pizza joint with great food, reasonably priced, and served in the most fun way we could deliver.
We plan to reopen within four weeks in the Grandview Heights/UA area. Our new space will accommodate a wood-fired oven so we can bring you even better pizzas–and a few new surprises. The #2 pizza formerly known as the San Giorgio will heretofore be known as the San Rolando.
Thank you all very much for your friendship and patronage. Bono’s phone number 906-8646 remains the same, so feel free to call us for updates and directions.
We will be at CU’s 7th Anniversary party tomorrow night with our mobile wood-fired pizza cart and look forward to seeing you there!
Thank you all again,
Bill & Peggy Yerkes

You will be missed. Thank you for a great summer and autumn on Russell Street. I look forward to eating at your next location. Good luck!
The neighborhood will miss you, Bill and Peggy. But we’ll definitely come and visit.
I will miss you.
I’ll be so sad to see you guys go..
Hooray for the san Rolando!!!
I am so sad I want to cry. I’ll for sure come see you guys in the new place, but some of my nights on your sidewalk were nothing short of magical.
You’ll be missed, but I’m glad you are carrying on elsewhere. :cry:
I can’t wait to see what Bill and Peggy do next. I’ll be first in line wherever you go! I am already craving a #2… 8)
Thanks for the great memories! That location was special. Russell Ave was rockin’ after Bono arrived. :)
Good luck with the new space! Definitely keep us posted on the details when it’s ready to reopen! :D
please park the mobile cart permanently in the SN!
Can you divulge where you’ll be? Perhaps the former Cowtown Pizza location at 3rd and NW?
We’ll miss you!! (And will see you soon!)
Can’t wait to check out the new place!!
delivery??
A tear jerking experience has been put before us
This place replaced my Northstar, my trips to Chipotle
Warm food made fresh and healthful in my somewhat neighborhood setting
RIP Bono Short North
arrgg. Good luck at the new location, but I doubt I’ll get there much. :x
:)
Not there…
No delivery means I have to pick a someplace else local for pizza. Have a great time with Bono, Grandview.
Damn it, I was about to move back to the Short North JUST to be closer to Bono.
oooohhh thank you for thinking about grandview as your new space! I stick pretty close-to-home when it comes to pizza ordering and as much as i love me some granddad’s, we definitely could use more options here! I’m excited you’re moving to my area! Can’t wait to try it!
This is a bummer but the new space in Grandview will work better for Bill and Peggy.
The sad part is their greatest fan Roland has just gotten the equivalant of a “Dear Roland letter”. Bill and Peggy wanted to tell him the news at the CU meet up tonight.
