Last weekend bonoPIZZA made their return with an outdoor parking-lot setup in front of the old Cowtown Pizza location. Due to the overwhelming response, Bill & Peggy Yerkes are looking to expedite the process in which they’re going to be moving back into a more permanent indoor venue. Bill notified us earlier today that they’ve found a great spot in the Grandview-Area that features loads of free parking, patio seating, and indoor seating space for 30-40 people. The only catch is that they’ve only got around 80% of the funds ready to get the location secured and opened, and are currently around $5,000 short.
Always the non-traditionalist, Bill has put together a proposal for his loyal customers to help raise the extra cash quickly. He calls it the “bonoPIZZA Pay it Forward Plan”.
Effective immediately, bonoPIZZA will begin selling half-price gift certificates in $100 and $200 increments. The $100 gift certificate will cost $50, and the $200 gift certificate will cost $100, making it a great deal for anyone planning on dining at bono in the future. The goal is to sell approximately 75 of these certificates to cover the cost of raising the additional $5,000.
Once the $5,000 mark is reached, certificates will no longer be sold, so quantities are very limited.
Bill stated that the certificates issued will be individually numbered with each contributor’s name labeled as a “bono savior”. If the $5,000 amount is not reached, all checks and payments will be returned in full, and Bill said that a “WTF, We Tried” certificate will still be issued to all who gave it a shot.
To place an order you can reach Bill via phone at 614-441-2880, or send a check to:
Bill Yerkes
1724 Northwest Blvd
Columbus, Ohio 43212
Update: Effective Friday April 24th, bonoPIZZA will be setting up the mobile pizza oven outside their new location on Ida Avenue behind the Giant Eagle near Grandview. They will be there both on Friday and Saturday evenings from 5pm-10pm for the next few weeks until construction is completed inside the new store.
Heck yeah! The check is in the mail.
check is the mail….
check out BONOpizza at Ruby’s 1978 Summit Street. Bill will be there serving up hot pizzas on the porch (or wherever he can fit his oven) for Andy Shaw Bands official Ruby’s CD Release, we will have our cds available for cheaper than normal prices! Thanks! myspace.com/andyshaw
Dropped off cash this morning. Bill and Peggy were kind enough to treat me to a cup of coffee and gingersnaps. (Damn good ones too.)
Wanted to make sure I got mine in before XLD or Gram pounced with a check for the full $5K and I ended up stuck buying measly 20%-off coupons…. :-P

The bigger concern would be those two would own the first $10,000 of Bono pizzas and charge us twice the price or outlaw the San Rolando!
My check is in the mail – I bought 10 weekends worth of pizza.
thank you all for responding with such kindness, but….for the record, there isn’t enough money in the world to outlaw the San Rolando, just to know it brings a smile to that young man brings warmth to my cockles (or whatever they call those things down there)..thanks, bill
That’s just not right!
I believe they are called Velvet Balls, Bill, at least in Roland’s case.
Yeah, Crom and I are in – sending a check tomorrow!
Is there an update for how much more money they need / how many gift certificates are up for grabs?
Mailed a check today, but you probably won’t see it until at least Saturday!
Count me in for $50 at least.
Did I mention I joined this website solely for BONOtogo updates?
