    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.

    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!

    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!!

    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!

    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.

    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!

    Pizza time!

    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

    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!

    That's pizza.

    I'll just post the pics and let you decide. I did contact through ordering site with no response. These slices were nearly $15 with fees. A very thin painted on cheese hiding under a mound of sauce. It was not hot or fresh.

    Waited over 10 minutes for this hotdog that I ordered in person.

    This was more than dinner. It was an experience…read more We sat tucked away in a little corner that honestly felt like we were having dinner in someone's grandmother's house, and I mean that in the BEST way possible. Cozy, warm, intimate and welcoming. And the FOOD?! I was convinced somebody's Italian grandmother had to be downstairs hand making that pasta because there was no other explanation. I had the lobster ravioli and started with the bruschetta tostada. Everything was absolutely chef's kiss. Fresh, flavorful and tasted like it was made with love. But what made the experience even better was our waiter, Mauricio! He was simply amazing. He genuinely took care of us, shared the story of the restaurant and talked about how much he enjoyed working there. And you could tell. It showed in the way he treated us and the attention he gave throughout the entire meal. Great food is one thing. Great food paired with genuine hospitality is something completely different.

The service was friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. But let's talk about the food... The food was AMAZING. We ordered several different things, and everything we tried was delicious, but the pappardelle with short ribs was the standout. The pasta was absolutely fantastic--rich, comforting, and exactly the kind of Italian comfort food you want at the end of a long day. And then there was the dessert case... Oh. My. Goodness. Everything in that case looked like it was personally designed to make you regret saying, "No, we're too full for dessert." Nonna was exactly what we were hoping for that evening: great food, great service, a beautiful Little Italy setting, and a relaxed atmosphere where we could sit outside and enjoy ourselves. I can't wait to go back and eat some more Italian comfort food--and next time, I'm getting the tiramisu.

HOMEMADE FOCACCIA WITH DIPPING OIL (yes, that's the official name) - this is a basket of super soft, warm focaccia bread for a great price. I would get it no matter what main course you're getting!
