Absolutely incredible! The PBR is my absolute favorite. Did not know I needed pickles, bacon, and ranch in my life on a pizza. Do yourself a favor and give it a try. The cook was beyond friendly, and I thanked him for his recommendation for exceeded my expectations. read more

The people who work here care about the food and are super nice. Best Detroit Pizza I've ever had! I got the pepperoni Detroit Style and it was so tasty. Crispy and charred to perfection. I love the inclusion of the pepperonis around the edge of the pizza crust. The sauce has a little spice kick and I love that. Full of flavor. Place is such a throwback and I love how creative the restaurant is. I love how they kept the 90s vibes inside. Also I love the pizza toppings. There's a Hot Dog Pizza?! Yes, please! Definitely going to come back! Fan for life! read more

Angry Petes Pizza - Pepperoni Detroit Style - Pizza Near Me - San Diego, California

I rave about this spot to everyone. Depending on what you get, it can get pricey but you taste the quality and can see why whether you order delivery, head to their drive-thru, or go inside...you'll understand the hype! I love their sides, they do specials that change so it's always worth a try. You'll like something there, from familiar to strange combinations..as a picky eater, this spot has ignited my love for exploring flavors. I love everything they do, tips help them keep everything great. This spot deserves it because everyone is so kind, patient, and helpful! They have free video games, giant TVs, great drinks like faygos and slushies. I love the decor because it's an old school flare since it's an old Taco Bell building. I love the vibe, it is calm and welcoming! I have old photos of a special and an amazing deep dish pizza, but their consistency of appearance, taste, and great quality is always the same! I recall they changed the boxes to brown regular pizza boxes, I was surprised because their original boxes were just like the exterior of the building Angry Pete's Logo but that's okay, everything is still great!! read more

Angry Petes Pizza - Animal Fries special - Pizza Near Me - San Diego, California

Strictly a delivery from Lytton review... I have not actually been to the location, I merely wanted to experience the Detroit style pizza that I grew to love as a kid raised in the midwest. This review is not going to cover in person service or the ambiance. The first time that I ordered from this location the pizza seem to be made with more care and attention. As of late, the last three times I have ordered the quality has a diminished greatly. They turning Point was last night when I ordered the lions and tigers pizza, which is described as a carnivore's delight it is supposed to have pepperoni, ground beef, and bacon... The pizza that I received had only pepperoni and a few dabs of sauce. That, combined with repeated overly burnt crusts, burnt toppings (which mean that the slices were reheated at too high of a temperature), and pizzas that were 99% bread , I have to let Angry Pete's go. Overall I would say that their Pizza is worth trying, but not at this location. I would be willing to try the original location located at Overland Ave. In closing.. My first order was delicious, every order since then has gone rapidly downhill. If you are using a delivery app like Uber Eats , switch the location! read more

The customer service here made me start feeling nostalgic for TSA. At least they make eye contact while ruining your day. My pizza came with a bonus hairlong enough to be listed as a co-signer on the check! If you've ever wondered what disappointment would taste like baked at 425° for 12 minutes, this place has your answer read more

Angry Pete's Pizza - San Diego We've been to Angry Pete's multiple times now, and every single visit has been spot-on. We even hosted a small event there recently, and the entire staff absolutely crushed it. The employees were terrific, attentive, and completely on point the whole time. The food? Amazing. Every pizza we've tried has been full of flavor and cooked perfectly. Our group couldn't have been happier with the service or the quality. Angry Pete's has definitely become one of our go-to spots in San Diego. Highly recommend! We love the old school retro Taco Bell theme and there's a little arcade games for the kids to play as well as lots of TVs for sports to watch! read more

This place rules! Pizza is solid, prices are low and the vibe is immaculate. Highly recommend giving them a try for a fun experience.

Service: super friendly, funny, personable, helpful, and patient with lots of questions about the menu. Pizza is *incredible*. Love the flavors, they're so weird and yet they all just work so well. Quality is always good, and good value for the money. Seems small for only 4 pieces but 1 piece is usually enough for me, because they're so hefty & loaded with toppings Love it here, fun spot to go and impress people with weird delicious pizza read more

This was the best pizza I've ever had! The crust was supportive of the toppings, so it was easy to eat and so delicious. We had a party so we tried pretty much one of everything- the favorites of the group were Buffalo chicken, BBQ chicken, and the Lions, Tigers, and Wolverines. Everyone at our party was having about how good the food was and we were proud to serve it! read more

Pizza was sooooo good!! Friendly workers. Loved the nostalgic Taco Bell feel. Can't wait to go back

We were surprised to find this place was inside a bar, since we were expecting more of a restaurant like the other location I've been to. We really wanted to but pizza by the slice, but that wasn't an option here. The pizza and mozzarella sticks were both good! read more

The Smashburger is awesome! Great pizza, you only need to order one, even though you think you need two! Great, deep dish, pizza options. If you work at the county building, this should be your to-go lunch spot. I like the weekly and daily specials. A big menu, it's not just pizza! and you get that Taco Bell nostalgia feeling when you're there read more

I can only speak for the spartan and I say OMG DELICIOUS!!! I have tried both the detroit style and today I tried the new thin crust. I love both, the thin crust was small for the price but super good! read more

I came to Angry Petes Pizza to experience a bit of nostalgia in the form of Detroit style pizza, a coney dog, and Faygo pop. They even had Vernors ginger ale in stock. Their operation is set up at the Kensington Brewing Company with seating outdoors under a canopy. Curbside parking along Adams Ave in the Kensington neighborhood wasn't bad because not all of the businesses have reopened during this time. There were three choices of Detroit style pizza so I chose a piece of two of them for $5 each, the Double Pepperoni and the Four Cheese Blend. The ingredients in the first were sliced pepperoni, diced pepperoni, tomato sauce, Grande mozzarella and parmesan cheeses, a blend of Wisconsin brick and provolone cheeses, and micro basil. The second had the same cheeses without the addition of the pepperoni. While I enjoyed the airy crust with the crispy edges, the other components didn't quite hit the mark for me. I have tried numerous versions back in the state of origin, and the toppings were much more cohesive. The micro basil was a distraction rather than an added touch. I also sampled a Detroit style coney dog which was $5 too. Coney sauce (i.e. chili), yellow mustard, and minced onions were ladled on top of a Koegel's coney frankfurter. The sauce didn't seem fresh, and the frank didn't have quite the snap to the casing that I have tasted in the past. I washed my meal down with a bottle of Faygo Creme Soda which you can't go wrong with. The refrigerator had at least eight different flavors from which to choose so come here if you want to buy 23 oz of fun tasting soda. The overall experience resulted in some mixed memories of days gone by, but I did appreciate the owner's efforts of importing this type of Motor City comfort food to San Diego. read more

One of the best cheese pizzas Ive had. The cook time is perfect too, not underdone and crispy. Delicious cheese around the edges. Yum

That Pete may be angry, but he made this Pete (and Becky) very happy. We ran into Angry Pete's at Burning Beard again and once again we were very pleased. Bex had the Double Pepperoni again. Her go-to. I like to try different and unique things so I opted for the Sweet and Spicy Cherry BBQ Hawaiian. Black forest ham, pineapple, cherry honey habanero BBQ sauce, provolone, Grande Mozzarella and Wisconsin blend cheeses. This was one excellent slice of Detroit style pizza. The BBQ sauce was bomb! Different and unique for sure! I know there are a lot of people who insist that pineapple does not belong on pizza. To them I say, "Pineapple does not belong on YOUR pizza"! Keep doing your thing Angry Pete! read more

I say this with love.... This is a great dive bar... kind of strange the night visited all the men were upstairs and all the women downstairs (by the pool tables) all the signs say to order at the bar which was difficult because there wasn't a bare space to belly up... I finally just asked the pizza guy and he helped us out... we tried 4 different pizzas... OMG so good... messy but good! A bunch of guys let us know about Ladies Night and encouraged us to come back.... Always nice to feel welcome read more

Angry Pete sure smiles a lot for someone who is so angry...Wait, I don't want to hurt the brand- he's real angry, vicious even. But you should come on by and order some pizza and see for yourself if he's angry. Where? Desi's! My favorite bar to hangout in in all of SD. You can find me there at least once a month, hanging out on a comfy barstool, sipping something with bourbon, and stuffing my face. Angry Pete's specialty is pizza. I should know- I've had quite a few slices of it. Detroit Style is one of my favorite ways to eat carbs. It's the crispy cheese that does it for me. Pete has all kinds from a classic 5 cheese or pepperoni, to seasonal slices for Thanksgiving, to meatball & ricotta or fried chicken tender with hot honey drizzle. The pepperoni is a classic, tried and true, but sometimes you wanna go for something different. Pete gets that. The whole pizzas are 4 slices. A couple of these thick squares feels like a meal to me, so I like to split a pie or get a slice or two for myself. The menu, including the pizza options, changes often. Pete rotates out items so he can better accomodate his new snacks, but also keep a stock of popular items going. There is only one item he has taken away that I'd like to petition to get back on the menu- the hard shell hot dog taco. (Angelo's Hard Shell Coney Taco- frank, ground beef, fried tortilla, american cheese, lettuce, tapatio crema, and onion for those unfamiliar with this handheld GEM.) Please, Pete. I need my taco hot dog fix. I admit I ordered it the first time thinking "Whaaaat? Why would anybody want this? It's gonna be bad.' But I loved it. Then I came back 3 hours and a few more cocktails later to order another. Honestly I would have kept ordering them every time I came in. So in a way Pete saved me from myself and this hot dog hard shell hell loop. But some of us don't want to be saved. Let me have my weird bunless wieners. Please and thank you. But until the most magical of days arrives and the hot dog taco is back on the menu- I'll be eating my way around other such goodies as the fried chicken sliders (Zug Island Trashville Hot Honey Sliders to be exact), JoJos which are DELICOUS potato wedges, coney dogs (yaaassss), burgers, and whatever tacos are currently on the menu. Think snacky things, perfect for an after work bite when you just want a beer and to unwind for a bit. Or maybe before you head home after drinking a little too much. Snack, full meal, dine-in or takeout- the choice is yours! Angry Pete's is a great addition to my favorite hangout. These pizzas are slung at pop-ups and breweries in many locations around SD, but Desi's has the full menu. I've enjoyed so many nights eating these tasty snacks solo or while making new friends. Hopefully you can do the same! read more

Terrible service. Went out seeking pizza for my wife and remembered about how I wanted to try this place. Called in Friday evening Aug 23 at 9:45 Started the call saying I wanted to order carry out and that I'm driving so I couldn't look at the menu, so if they could help me through the menu. I started with what are you guys known for. She replied with a single word. Pizza "Yes I'm aware of that, what kind of pizza" She replies "All different kinds." Haven't received no useful information as I couldn't figured the food specify by the name of the restaurant and my own google search of the restaurant. I end up calling REGENTS PIZZERIA, with the same intro and they were SO much more helpful and He gave me suggestions and top items. I'm now excitedly waiting for couple deep dish and a New York pie REGENTS PIZZERIA read more

I was charged twice, and although I'm not blaming anyone, it did happen. I waited for over 10 minutes to receive a dried-up hotdog with hardly any chili, and I was also given a lukewarm pizza. Fortunately, I decided to take the pizza to go, and when I reheated it, it tasted much better. The hotdog alone cost $6, and the combo was around $7. Overall, I don't plan on returning. It seems like they haven't quite figured out the rhythm of their kitchen, and the cashier service needs improvement. I was also surprised that they rely too much on a heat lamp to warm up the pizza instead of using the oven for a better result. read more

This is my first night here. Desiree (the owner) is awesome. It's a quiet spot, with a cozy, old school feel. However, there's a lot of subtle AND modern touches. The food was amazing (personally recommend the Flaming Hot Cheeto Elote Pizza). The regulars are so great, and the bar is the CLEANEST I HAVE EVER SEEN. I want to come back so badly. Can't wait to see what happens the next time I come by. P.S. I REALLY wish I had taken a picture of the pizza before I devoured it! read more

The habanero bbq chicken Detroit pizza is one of the best pizzas I've had. Do yourself a favor and try this place out!

(The following was written while sitting at a table on Nov. 07, 2020. I've thought about this pizza at least once a week since then) : I have lived 30 years on this Earth. I have spent time in New York and Chicago eating pizza at every chance, and lived in Detroit/the Detroit metro area for 5 years sampling the unique thing that is Detroit pizza. And I have never, ever been BLOWN AWAY by pizza like I have by this UNBELIEVABLE RAVIOLI BOLOGNESE PIZZA!!!!! Holy hot damn! Soft and fluffy dough flanked by an intensely lovely, daintily crispy, perfectly-baked crunchy crust, mellow, comfy flavors from the ravioli mixed with the tangy tomato, light sweetness, and savory beef from the unbelievably-fresh bolognese, MIND BLOWN. Seriously, I can't get over it. Pete, please don't ever stop making this pizza. This is something special. I can't find enough words to gush about it. Literally I never ate Detroit pizza this good, even in Detroit. This should win some sort of award. I don't know what but something. In the meantime, everyone in our city must try this damn pizza. Detroit does, indeed, hustle harder. As a San Diego native, I am now fully convinced Angry Pete's is the most underappreciated pizza in the city, and it's about time people start learning this stuff is amazing. It's also perfect food during a pandemic, as you can get a take-and-bake, pop in the oven, and immediately have incredibly fresh pizza at home. Now go away, I'm going to order another slice. read more

Heard and tried the new trend in Detroit Pizza this evening. Angry Pete's has partnered with Eppig Brewing in their temporary location in North Park [former Waypoint Public]. The slice is deep dish, sauce was sweet [great sauce] and toppings adequate. The only issue I have is the cost is expensive for the size of the slice; $6.25 + Tax for each, or a hole pie [4 pieces] is $20+. It seem like $6.25 should be for two. Venture a couple blocks over, and two slices of the same style is under $6.25. read more

Angry Petes Pizza - Single Slice. - Pizza Near Me - San Diego, California

A little hard to find or notice, as It's inside Kensington Brewing Co. Online ordering/website 2 out of 5 The pizza (capicola, mozz and balsalmic) 4 out of 5. Read the pizza description carefully, If it doesn't say sauce, it does not come with sauce. The pie is quite a small serving for $20 (see pic below) Service upon pick-up 2/5. I had no idea how long it would take for it to be ready as there is no notification after order online, so I figured around 20 mins, but no worries when it needed another 15 upon arrival, but then no offer or ask if I wanted a beer while I waited (standing at the bar in a beer bar), so then she then pulled my 6pk of cold beer and sodas out of the fridge to set on the bar to warm up while I waited on the pizza. This was both a missed opportunity and alcohol abuse. Got my pizza, sodas, beer and chips, but then there was not a bag or box to be had to help carry it out. Not bad, but probably not good enough to go back. I suggest going two doors down to Cucina Surella for their thick Sicilian flatbread for a better pie and better bargain, sorry. read more

We picked up Angry Pete's at Kensington Brewing last weekend, and we were not disappointed! Their Detroit-style pizza had a great crust that caramelized in the pan; the inside of the crust was light and fluffy (reminded me of a certain Sicilian-style spot in North Park before it changed ownership and went down hill). We got a cheese pie and a pepperoni pie. My pizza-obsessed husband loved their pepperoni one. Let's just say that we may not wait a whole week to get some Angry Pete's again! read more

Great pizza and ownership. I tried a specialty pie but the standard pepperoni is great as well. Love the Faygo drinks that they have on offer. A great neighborhood shop that also offers delivery. read more

Stopped in here after finding out about it in the SD Reader. I love Detroit style pizza and had to try a legit source without traveling to Michigan...yet. The Kensington Brewery folks were very nice as usual when I both called in my order as well as when I arrived to pick it up. The pizza was delicious, thick, yet fluffy bread. Not thick like a brick. Delicious pepperoni's and golden baked cheese. A bit pricey but hey, it's great quality. Maybe split one with a friend because they may be too much for one person to handle. read more

The pizza is absolutely delicious (wife and I got the pepperoni one). My only very small complaint is it was hard to determine the size of a pie was so it was a bit smaller than we expected. This is not an issue with them so much as doing delivery. Perfectly fine, just means we'll have to go in when Rona is over and order more. And I definitely can't wait! Highly recommended! read more

Big shout out to Bridget and the owner Pete for making sure I was safe to eat due to my celiac's disease. We ate at the new Santee Lakes location and it was fabulous. My husband had the pizza and said he will be returning. Thank you again for the yummy food read more

Very tasty pizza. Nice to have a new pizza restaurant in Kearny Mesa. Delicious flavor, tons of toppings. Will definitely go back.

Great pizza. Kinda expensive but they will make you a slice to order if you don't want the whole thing.
