About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem

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.

    I have been here many times, and, as usual, the food is superb. We love dining in the igloos. For a March afternoon, we were very warm. Our server was so helpful. She was truly a delight. We will continue coming back here.

    Excellent Pizza and service! Sesame seed crust tastes great, nice crunchy crust. Eggplant rigatoni was also very good. Our server Ava was exceptional, constantly checking on us. We did not get the igloo reservations but we didn't miss it.
    Pietro's of East MeadowResponded on March 4, 2025
    Thank you for the great review! We're so glad you enjoyed the sesame seed crust and the eggplant rigatoni. Ava will be happy to hear she made your experience exceptional! Hopefully, next time you’ll get to try the igloo dining, but we're thrilled you had a great time regardless. See you again soon!

    Took a friend of mine out and she said that when the time comes, there better be Pietros toffee cake and calamari waiting for her at the gates of heaven. The braised short ribs with the whipped mashed potatoes were so delicious and creamy and the short ribs were so tender, that a knife was not needed. My friend had the lobster ravioli and it was so cute how they were shaped in hearts. She is already asking when we can have dinner again.
    Pietro's of East MeadowResponded on March 4, 2025
    That’s amazing to hear! We love that the toffee cake and calamari left such an impression. The short ribs and lobster ravioli are definitely favorites, and we're so glad you both enjoyed them. Looking forward to having you back for another great meal soon!
