    Amazing food and amazing service. Every single employee we came into contact with was so welcoming. The igloo we ate in was so cozy and peaceful. My 4 year old loved it too.

    Everything was good. I would say it is a little overhyped. Thought the popseco would have a flare to it but it just tasted like Prosecco. The food was okay nothing special the wings were really good. My husband didn’t really like the buffalo chicken pizza because the blue cheese was just blobbed on randomly like a big pile and it wasn’t all around
    Pietro's of East MeadowResponded today
    We're glad to hear you enjoyed the ambiance, service and the wings, but we're sorry to hear that some aspects of your visit didn’t meet your expectations. Our Pop-secco is a simple twist—Prosecco served with a popsicle—and, due to New York liquor license laws, it’s the only way we’re able to offer it. As we are located within 200 feet of several religious organizations, including churches and a mosque. We appreciate your comments about the Buffalo Chicken Pizza and will review its presentation to see how we can improve the experience. We do make our bleu cheese in-house, which might make it a bit tricky to serve differently, but we’ll certainly look into it! Your input helps us grow, and we truly value it. Thank you for visiting!

    We had the igloo experience. The ambiance was perfect winter/ Christmas decor. Food was delish as always. Our server Erica was very sweet. Food came quick and was very hot, which was great since we were in the igloo.

    Always a wonderful experience at Pietro’s . The igloo was nice and toasty despite the cold temperatures outside and the decorations very seasonal and pretty Elva our waitress was very sweet and attentive as were any of the other employees . Grandma’s MVP pizza was delicious as always and our salads were all plentiful and great including the tricolor, goat and beet and Caesar salads with chicken. Rigatoni ala vodka was also enjoyed. No room for dessert this time but looking forward to our next visit . Another great meal and time in the Igloo Experience!

    Great spot to eat! Food was delicious and reasonably priced. Everyone who worked there was super nice and gave us good food and drink recommendations. The igloos were so cute and comfy. It was nice to still be able to hear the background music while in the igloo. 10/10 experience overall
