Bonello’s Pizza Relocates

Bonello’s New York Pizza recently moved locations, and will now serve both the residents of Colton and Grand Terrace. The restaurant on Saturday, Aug. 10, officially opened its doors to the Colton community after moving to their new location on 803 W. Valley Boulevard from its previous Grand Terrace area location at 22413 Barton Road, near Stater Bros. “The new location with its proximity to [Colton High School] brings the potential for more traffic, and it’s a bigger location,” said owner Gus Garcia, who has owned the restaurant for seven years now. He purchased it from founder Tony Bonello, a family friend, in 2006. “Of course we are still very dedicated to the community of Grand Terrace,” said Garcia. “Grand Terrace has been very good to us, and we will continue to deliver to all the locations we are used to delivering to, as well as to some new ones as we try to expand our business.” The restaurant serves handmade pizzas, calzones, sub sandwiches, salads and homemade pastas that Garcia said often surprise people, in a good way. “The first thing that people really notice about us is how uncommonly good our pastas are,” he said. Bonello’s serves handmade lasagnas, spaghetti marinara and more. “Most pizza places serve frozen or bagged meatballs or pastas, but ours are all homemade. We are a restaurant first and a pizzeria second,” said Garcia. Bonello’s recipes have been passed down through the restaurant family, noted Garcia. Many of them are original owner Tony Bonello’s own. “He was a good chef himself, and he would go in there and play around with the ingredients in the kitchen to come up with these recipes,” said Garcia. The reviews on their pastas—a fan favorite is the Sausage Penne Arrabbiata, a penne pasta topped with spicy sliced Italian sausage tossed in a spicy creamy marinara sauce—have been more than stellar, as the restaurant just received a review on the Let’s Dine Out show, a Saturday afternoon restaurant review radio show on AM 950 The Answer. The review video is available on Bonello’s website, at www.bonellospizza.com. The restaurant, Garcia shared, sees anywhere from “200 to 300 customers, easily,” per day, and that’s just the walk-ins. “That doesn’t account for the delivery we do, so I imagine it’s a lot more than that per day,” said Garcia, who noted that often at the Grand Terrace location, the demand for their food was so high that they would be at restaurant capacity. Since opening their doors at the new Colton location, business is steady and good, shared Garcia, but he hopes to see it grow as the restaurant bursts in to a new market. “We are glad that it hasn’t been an overwhelming difference in how many customers we serve, because we are still getting used to the new kitchen and having to move things around, [but] we are grateful for our customers. As we expand our business a little more, though, we are looking to serve more.” Bonello’s is open Monday through Thursday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., Fridays and Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Sundays from noon to 8 p.m. Orders may be called in at 909-825-9852.

As America's most famous highway celebrates its centennial in 2026, San Bernardino reflects on the road that helped shape its neighborhoods, businesses and identity. Long before interstate highways became the preferred routes for cross-country travel, motorists making their way through San Bernardino followed a road that would become one of the most recognizable highways in American history.

A city is often judged by what residents experience every day: the condition of its streets, the reliability of public services, the availability of recreational programs and the ease of obtaining information from local government. Behind those everyday experiences are departments and employees whose work rarely attracts national attention.
