Hi. Pete's Meats is -and has been- located in this nondescript storefront in Little Italy across from Filippi's. In this area of town with all the fancy Italian themed restaurants, Pete's is one of very few places I consider not pretentious and just good.
It used to be a butcher shop and a lot of the original shop paraphernalia is still inside-more to the back of the store.
There are usually two tables out in front.
Inside, pretty much as nondescript, as you can see from this view from one of the back tables.
The simple menu is right there-above the grill, in front of the barstools.
Sandwiches- hot or mild sausage, meatball, steak, eggplant. Each $6.95. You can ask for half and half if you would like.
(There used to be a Spitini sandwich which is now covered over on the menu- veal and prosciutto, rolled around a mix of cheese, parsley, onions, tomatoes, pine nuts and currants: heaven. It always cost about $2 more than the other sandwiches, could not be gotten as a half sandwich and was wonderful…)
ANYHOW…This is a photo of half of an eggplant sandwich-grilled, thin sliced pieces of eggplant with grilled onions and peppers, some marinara and topped with Parmesan. 
This is a photo of half of a mild Italian sausage sandwich. The same fresh roll and toppings. The sausage is made in house and is *excellent* with the wonderful fennel that compliments the pork.
You can buy canned regular or diet Coke and bottled water as your beverage. That's it.
Limited menu. Done perfectly every time. A San Diego Institution.
