Bill Yerkes is at it again. After a brief hiatus from making traditional Napoli-style pizzas, Yerkes is again ready to put a pie in your face.

Yerkes is subletting Eleni-Christina Bakery in the evenings for his latest pizza enterprise, bonoTOGO (as in “to go”) — just in time for the Gallery Hop on Saturday. Although the place’s address is 641 N. High St., the storefront actually faces Russell Street, about 60 feet west of the main drag.

What a great idea- bakery during the morning/afternoon and pizza joint in the evening. Menus for this place were taped above the mailboxes where I live last night. Selection and prices look great. I hope it works out for them.

    Yeah they were taped with blue 3M 1″ painter’s tape. Things must be going well so far to be using that to tape fliers up. It’s hard to find tape that is more expensive than that. I’ll still try it anyways.

    Hmmm….seeing as how they don’t open until tonight, I’m not so sure that the tape can be relied upon as an indicator of how well things have been going “so far.” :wink:

  • So, this place will have napoli style? I am always looking for new pizza places, but I am not really a fan of tha napoli style.

  • I wonder if he scrapped plans for the Grandview shop.

  • Anybody get a chance to check this place out over the weekend?

  • Napoli style? We used to just call them “squares”. :wink:

    i can’t quote the source, but i remember reading that he had finally given up on the grandview location. something about a grease trap issue the city wouldn’t budge on and was prohibitively expensive to fix.

    i hope this is a successful venture for yerkes, bonopizza was like heaven on earth and i’ve been craving it ever since it closed.

  • We stopped by our friend’s place, who lives directly above Elana Christina around 11PM, and saw the little tables outside were full of people eating, so it looked like it was going well.

  • everytime I read the headline i think bento gogo

    The grease trap problem is the reason for now Grandview location.

  • Or NO Grandview location, I mean.

  • aaminian just emailed me the menu, and it can be found here:

    $8 sounds like a great deal, and $20 for three is even better. Going to have to try this soon. Our old staple pizza at Minuteman has really been raising their prices lately.

  • sounds awesome. eight bucks even!

  • yum! do they deliver? How late are they open?

  • gobluegirl wrote yum! do they deliver? How late are they open?

    They’re open Wed-Sun, 5pm-midnight. I don’t believe they deliver.

  • GIANT CREAM PUFFS!!!!!!!!
