John Montgomery

At New Bethel Ordinary in Indianapolis’s Wanamaker neighborhood, pizza is the main draw, and diners repeatedly point to generous portions and value. The hearty deep-dish pies anchor a menu that also gives tenderloins and shareable bar food plenty of space.

Start with breadsticks served with nacho cheese, pizza sauce and garlic butter; a full order costs $6.99. Tenderloin strips come hand-breaded or grilled, with horseradish sauce and ranch, for $10.99. The New Bethel Nachos take a more elaborate route: tortilla chips layered with white queso, barbecue sauce, pico, guacamole and sour cream, with pulled pork, grilled chicken or brisket available as additions.

The atmosphere leans neighborhood bar rather than quiet pizza parlor, with sports-watching among the draws diners mention. Beer, wine and cocktails cover the drinks side, and outdoor seating offers another place to settle in. The restaurant accommodates groups, making those full orders of breadsticks and loaded appetizers a practical starting point for a shared meal.

New Bethel Ordinary is at 8838 Southeastern Avenue. It opens daily at 11 a.m., closing at 9 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Takeout and delivery are offered; reservations are not.
