DAVE SAYS:
You will not find a place that puts more toppings on a pizza than New Bethel Ordinary (AKA The Ordinary). I know how bold of a statement that is, but I'm not kidding. We should have gotten a picture to prove this, but I swear it's true. I want to point out that the pepperoni was four pieces thick in at least one spot. I kind of hate to slam this place because they are so generous with the toppings, but slam them I must.

The pepperoni was decent. It was pretty flavorful and kind of spicy. As I said, it was stacked pretty thick so it had some great texture. The pepperoni had the best flavor of anything on the pizza, but I couldn't taste it. The sausage and cheese overpowered the pepperoni even though both were kind of flavorless.

How? The ridiculous amount of toppings. The sausage, with a normal amount, would have added texture, but nothing else. It was bland. I don't know how that much saudage could be that boring, but New Bethel Ordinary did it.

My biggest problem was the cheese. I'm not big on cheese in general, but this was terrible. I thought it didn't taste that good. I could have overlooked the cheese but there was so much of it. It made me kind of sick just looking at it. Since every other topping was over used, the cheese was needed to hold everything onto the crust.

The only thing New Bethel Ordinary didn't overdo was the sauce. There wasn't much on there. They might have used a normal amount, but it seemed really small in comparison.

The crust was really good though. I thought it was cruncy and well done. It wasn't as greasy as you would expect such an extravagantly topped pizza to be.

I'll never eat there again, but I recommend New Bethel Ordinary. No one uses more toppings, but extra toppings don't mean extra flavor here.

My final score for the New Bethel Ordinary is a 6.5 out of 10.
