From a Simple Vision to a Community Staple
For over five decades, Pietro’s of East Meadow has grown from a small pizzeria into a well-known local destination. It all began with Pete Ippolito, whose dedication to perfecting a pizza recipe set the foundation. His son-in-law, John Arigo, continued that legacy for over 30 years, preserving the same commitment to quality. Today, Lauren Maslov carries the tradition forward, honoring the past while guiding the restaurant into the future.
Built on Recipes That Stand the Test of Time
At the heart of Pietro’s is a menu shaped by generations of experience and care. From the signature sesame seed crust pizza to Italian American classics, every dish reflects consistency and attention to detail. The focus has always been on simple, well-executed recipes that customers can rely on. This approach has allowed the kitchen to maintain its identity while continuing to serve meals people come back for again and again.
A Place Where the Community Comes Together
What started as a humble pizzeria has grown into a welcoming space where people gather and connect. With the addition of a charming outdoor patio, Pietro’s offers more ways for guests to enjoy time with family and friends. The atmosphere remains relaxed and inviting, making it a go-to spot for everyday meals and special moments alike. Generations of customers continue to return, making it a true part of the East Meadow community.
