About

Michigan-native Pete Harbison brought a piece of Motor City soul to San Diego when he opened Angry Pete's in 2024, and he picked the perfect spot: a retro former Taco Bell building on Overland Avenue. The classically-trained chef knows Detroit pizza isn't just deep dish—it's a whole different animal, made in square auto-parts pans with high-hydration dough that's impossibly light and fluffy, crowned with crispy caramelized cheese edges. Beyond the rectangular pizzas, Pete serves authentic Coney dogs, Faygo pop, and Better Made snacks straight from the Great Lakes State. Free arcade games come with every purchase, and the all-day happy hour on weekends and Mondays makes this spot feel less like a restaurant and more like your favorite neighborhood hangout—if your neighborhood was in Detroit.
