Pierotti was on the field for only seconds before the Argentine forward beat Empoli defender Sebastian Walukiewicz inside the area and rolled the ball across for Nicola Sansone to tap into an empty net for a last-minute winner.
Empoli had an early goal disallowed after VAR ruled goalkeeper Elia Caprile handled the ball outside the area just before he launched the attack from which Alberto Cerri put the ball in the net.
Lecce moved six points above the relegation zone while Empoli remain only two points above it after their fifth loss in six matches.
