My husband and I had the Pizza for Two special (one Sicilian pie, one Neapolitan pie and two fountain drinks) and they were both delicious. Great deal. I really enjoyed the sesame seed crust! We couldn't finish it all, so now we have leftovers for lunch tomorrow. The owners and staff are extremely friendly and attentive. We will definitely return. Looking forward to trying more of their menu items! *Update".... went back again and got the personal Sicolian pie and the drunken chicken parm roll which comes with extra vodka sauce! Again, delicious food and the staff makes you feel right at home!

What a charming and cozy little spot for a laid back and casual evening.I am still thinking of the meatball pizza I had yesterday. If you are looking for amazing pizza with fresh ingredients look no further. Pietro' s is the spot.
My friend loved it too!

Great neighborhood restaurant to enjoy either their delicious sesame crust pizza or a wonderful entree, salad or hero. Tonight the soup of the day was pasta e fagioli and you should not miss out on that!

Mass confusion. 45 minute pick up time. One hour, just being made. How long for delivery? Tomorrow?

Always delicious pizza from Pietro's! They have the option to add sesame seeds on the crust-- I prefer without. Their garlic knots are so big and delicious
I would recommend their regular cheese pie, without sesame seeds, and we'll done-- with a side of garlic knots and marina sauce. Their pepperoni is good too.
4 stars because I recently tried their rigatoni pasta with vodka sauce and it wasn't the best-- I would stick with the pizza.

4 weekends in a row with the family, twice in one week. Food is delicious.
There's a difference eating the pizza when it first comes out and picking up to eat at the house.
Eating when it comes out is amazing. Still taste great when picked up as well.
Had Rigatoni vodka sauce with prosciutto
My wife had baked stuffed shells
And kids had spaghetti and meatball
Everything was amazing. Thank you for wonderful service.
We will be back again

Yum! Make sure to get the jumbo hot wings and whatever drunken sauce menu item they create - whether it’s a hero, pizza, or roll! Adding a customized crust to any option is very recommended! Also, the salads are extremely fresh and complement the savory dishes they have to offer. And, not to mention, the great and exemplary customer service that comes with each and every dish. I hope they satisfy your cravings as much they do mine!!

One of my 2 favorite pizzas in New York .
I've been a customer for over 20 years .
My wife and I just went last night and my wife ordered lentil soup to start . Who would ha e thought that the soup would be so good ?
Then we went on to devour a large pie ( sesame seed crust of course ) and we also ordered a pie to go to bring home to the kids for a treat.
The place has always been top notch but they have also made some up grades to the establishment that make it look much brighter and give it more space .
We drove 15 miles just for dinner at Pietros , passing over a dozen other pizza places

How great this establishment is passed to its 3rd generation. Lauren is an amazing woman to step into her father & grandfather's place in making its famous sesame crust pizza with the same recipe her grandfather made. The food is great and Lauren welcoming to everyone is inviting. Make sure you check out her marvelous pizza place of East Meadow that's been here for generations and hopefully more to come

I've been coming here since 1986, when i first began working at nassau county medical center... for many years, this was our go to place for lunch parties and celebrations at work... the sesame seed crust pizza is unique and wonderful!!

today I tried out one of their new dishes, the FRIED CALAMARI!

For years we'd been asking about it, and now, Pietro's has delivered!!! a great dish, really fresh, very light, and crispy, and delicious!!

I really can't add anything more to a great location... thank you all at Pietro's.

This was our first visit to Pietros and it won't be our last. Lauren and Andy have done an amazing job with the restaurant. Their famous sesame seed crusted pizza did not disappoint. We also enjoyed the Caesar salad and bbq wings and of course the kids shared the Mississippi mud pie!!! You truly feel at home here. The service is excellent and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming!!!

Counter person felt like it was their first day, took 10 minutes to get my order paid for (which was called in) and silverware to go. Pizza was ok, a little overcooked, bbq wings were basically just marinara sauce and sugar, mozzarella squares smelled and tasted like chicken fingers, makes you wonder of their friers cleanliness ... salad was stale dirty greens. Would not recommend as there are other pizza establishments within the mile.

The best pizza and Italian spot on Long Island. While I was dining here, 4 people came from in out of the immediate area because they heard how absolutely fantastic the food is. I have to agree. It's amazing. It's a must go to place on your list. Family owners for three generations who truly care about their customers.

The services is amazing. The food is delicious and the portion size is something I have not seen in NY. Pietro's is a hidden gem of Long Island with a homemade taste that makes you want to come back for more.

This was a great family pizza spot to visit. For sure would be ordering here again!

Coming from Arizona, as a visitor this was awesome to have someone authentic NY pizza and the sesame crust was new to me and very very good.

We ordered 2 pies, half cheese half and half pepperoni, the other pie was Buffalo chicken. Also got the baked clams which were fantastic. The Buffalo sauce had a nice kick to it, I always like spicy and this wasn't crazy spicy but just right. Pepperoni's were big and lightly crispy, not flabby.

You can tell they use fresh ingredients and not the cheap stuff.

If you like sesame crusted pizza, this is the place for you. I also saw on their website that they do other types of crusts as well (ie. onion, garlic, etc) I have a high standard for pizza since I grew up in Brooklyn, so the pizza to me was just ok. The large pie was smaller than I expected, has a slightly thicker crust and I felt the sauce could have used more garlic. Not bad, just ok for me. The crust was the best part for me since it stands out from the usual slice but my kids, the opposite, they liked the pizza but not the sesame crust. Overall pizza wise, just ok, and may come back to try

This past weekend I have decided to order pizza for lunch for the family. Pietro's is literally a 5 minute drive from my sibling's place so we decided to give it a shot. We ordered 3 large pies - 2 with special toppings. The order was ready for pick up in 20 minutes. Service was amazing. The pizza itself wasn't that great though - it was very bland. The sauce wasn't sweet or tangy - it was just flavorless even with the pepper, mushroom and olive toppings. I was really excited to try this place especially after reading so much about the sesame/onion crusts. The crusts were pretty

Ordered off the regular menu today and it didn't disappoint!

Stuffed portobello mushrooms and rigatoni vodka both so flavorful and the pasta very saucy!

Great neighborhood restaurant with really great Italian food. Stuffed mushrooms are a must! The sesame crust pizza is also a must have. Tonight I had a sausage calzone which was freshly made. Here is a tip, order the small! It's large. The staff is great and Dianne is a great waitress! Friendly and accomading!

Can't go wrong. Come and enjoy!

This is one of the best dine in pizzerias on Long Island! It is family owned and has the best staff! The garlic knots are fabulous and are not greasy. The sesame crust pizza is legendary! All of their pizza is great. The prices are also very reasonable and they dont charge for little extras like so many do.
The a la vodka sauce is fresh and not from a jar. The bathroom is always clean here too! Great place to take the family or for a pie on a Friday night.
