    The food, the holiday atmosphere and the service are excellent at Pietro's. We were disappointed that the Christmas carolers didn't come to our igloo. We waited as long as we could but they were singing to a large birthday party and never made it to us. There was a bit of a rush to clean up and take our plates, which has never happened before. But overall, we love Pietro's are will definitely go back.

    Thank you so much for your kind words about our food, holiday atmosphere, and service—it means the world to us that you love Pietro’s. We sincerely apologize for the disappointment regarding the Christmas carolers not making it to your igloo. They aim to visit all our guests, and we’ll work on ensuring a more balanced experience for everyone in the future. We strive to make each visit feel relaxed and enjoyable, even within our two-hour time slots. It sounds like we could have done a better job managing the timing for your table, and I apologize if you felt rushed. With our igloos being fully booked back-to-back during this busy season, we aim to balance great service with ensuring all guests enjoy their time. We can’t wait to welcome you back soon for another magical evening!

    This was one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in a long time. From the ambience, to the food, to the staff…10/10. The igloos add such a different, festive, cozy vibe. The food was fresh and so delicious. I went with a friend and I cannot wait to go back with my family. Our waitress Rebecca was the friendliest and loveliest server. The owner Lauren came in to check on us and chatted with us a bit. She truly cares about the customers experience and is so passionate about running her restaurant right. Cannot wait to go back!!
    Pietro's of East MeadowResponded 1 day ago
    Rosanne, It was such a pleasure meeting you and Liz last night! Chatting with you both was a real breath of fresh air. I’m so thrilled to hear how much you enjoyed the entire experience. I truly look forward to welcoming you back soon, hopefully with the whole family next time! Best Regards, Lauren

    It’s absolutely perfect !! Food was great !! My only suggestion waitstaff should be more visible!! Our waitress was great !!
    Pietro's of East MeadowResponded 1 day ago
    Thank you so much for the great feedback! I’m thrilled you enjoyed the food. I understand what you mean about the waitstaff not being as visible—the igloos can make it a bit trickier than indoor tables, and we were very short-handed today. I’m so glad Isabella did her best under the circumstances! We’ll keep working on ways to ensure you feel well taken care of, no matter where you’re seated. Thanks again, and we can’t wait to have you back!

    The Christmas theme and igloos were so cool! The owners and staff were all very friendly. The food was absolutely amazing. The mozzarella wedges were an absolute staple to the menu! Will definitely be coming back!!
    Pietro's of East MeadowResponded 2 days ago
    Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled you enjoyed our igloos—they really make the season magical. Our team works hard to ensure every visit is special, and we're so glad to hear you found the food, especially the mozzarella squares, to be amazing. They're a favorite of ours too and my grandfather used to make them when we first opened in 1976! Can't wait to welcome you back again soon!

    We get takeout from here almost every week🍴, and dining in feels like such a special experience! Always a beautifully decorated place. The staff is super friendly and always ready to make our visit enjoyable . The menu has fantastic choices besides just pizza, including some nice upscale dishes🍴. Lauren, the owner, is always around with a smile 😊 to see how we're doing and ensures everything runs smoothly! It's a cozy, family-friendly place that's ideal for date nights or celebrating special moments! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    Dinner at Pietro’s was great! We went to celebrate my daughter’s birthday and the outdoor igloos all decorated for Christmas was a special touch. The staff was attentive and so gracious. The food was delicious and the portions were generous. Our waiter, Oscar brought out a scoop of ice cream and sang Happy Birthday to my daughter. That was a nice touch. This was a great way to celebrate and definitely a must do again. Thank you Pietro’s for making my daughter’s birthday special.
