About this restaurant

Great for outdoor dining
Neighborhood gem
Good for groups

As you step into the charming brick building, you're greeted by the words "OPEN SESAME," welcoming you into the Home of the Original Sesame Seed Crust Pizza, pioneered by Pietro himself in 1976. Indulge in a dining experience within one of three uniquely distinct atmospheres. Choose from our retro-style front dining room, the exposed brick of the main dining area featuring beautiful artwork, or the serene whimsical outdoor patio adorned with red and white hanging umbrellas, lush palm trees, and vibrant red planters filled with gorgeous plants, and outdoor personal igloos, creating a private party space offering an enchanting experience.

Lovely setting. Kind staff. Delicious food. Generous servings. My family and I had an amazing time celebrating my husbands birthday together. Will definitely do it again!
Pietro's of East MeadowResponded 1 day ago
Hi Teresa, This made my day—thank you so much for the kind words! I'm thrilled to hear your husband’s birthday celebration was such a hit and that our team helped make it memorable. The igloos really are magical at night, and it means a lot that you took the time to share your experience. I’ll be sure to pass your compliments along to the staff (especially your server and the food runner!). We can’t wait to have you and your family back again soon. With gratitude, Lauren

The concept of the igloo is excellent. However you need to do something about the acoustics and the air conditioning. Whoever sits by the a/c gets it blowing on him
Pietro's of East MeadowResponded 1 day ago
Thank you so much for the feedback—we really appreciate it. I’m so glad you enjoyed the igloo concept! You’re absolutely right about the airflow—we’re looking into ways to adjust the direction of the A/C to make it more comfortable for everyone. As for the acoustics, it’s a bit trickier. We’ve considered options like curtains, but they’d take away from the open, outdoor vibe that makes the igloos feel so special. That said, we’re always brainstorming solutions and really value input like yours. Hope we get to welcome you back soon for another cozy (and comfy!) night! Warmly, Lauren

Another great night in am igloo! This is the second year I had my daughter's birthday dinner at Pietros. Everything was great! Igloo, food, service, prices. All was fun.
Pietro's of East MeadowResponded 1 day ago
Wow—thank you so much! This just made my day. I'm so happy you loved everything from start to finish—and yes, Rebecca is truly wonderful! We’re so glad you enjoyed the igloo experience too. Your kind words (and all those “highlys!”) mean the world to us. Can’t wait to have you back again soon! With gratitude, Lauren

Great service as always and a beautiful night sitting out on the patio. Waitress was delightful and very helpful, food yummy as always. Only criticism was that the baked clams were huge, with way too much breading that you couldn't taste the clams at all. Will go back!
Pietro's of East MeadowResponded 1 day ago
Thank you so much for the lovely review! I’m so glad you enjoyed the night, the food, and your server. As for the clams, I’m sorry you felt that way—they’re chopped baked clams with breading, but sometimes the kitchen gets a little too generous with the portion size. I’ll definitely keep an eye on that so the balance is just right next time. I hope you tried the sauce on them—it’s next level! Hope to see you again soon! Warmly, Lauren

The service is beyond excellent and the quality and portion sizes are great. We love trying the specials but sometimes it’s hard not to order an old favorite.
Pietro's of East MeadowResponded 1 day ago
Thank you so much—you know how much I adore your family, and this means the world to me! I'm so happy you enjoyed everything, and it makes me smile knowing you're torn between the specials and your go-to favorites. That’s the best kind of dilemma if you ask me. Can’t wait to see you all again soon—it's always a joy having you here! With love, Lauren

ALWAYS an amazing experience. Every single staff member is friendly, smiling and helpful. Amazing food. Try the fried artichoke hearts and the pear salad as an appetizer. Amazing.
