Álvaro Morata put the home side ahead on Friday with a glancing header from Theo Hernandez’s free kick after 38 minutes.
Hernandez then ran on to a pass from Rafael Leão and lashed the ball into the roof of the net from a tight angle two minutes later, before Pulisic made it 3-0 just before half-time.
It was the American’s fifth goal in seven games this season and takes his combined total of goals and assists since joining the Rossoneri in June last year to 32, higher than anyone else in the Serie A.
Davide Bartesaghi was shown a straight red card for Milan with 10 minutes remaining, but it was too late to give Lecce any hope of a comeback.
The victory takes Milan to 11 points and third on the table.
Lecce remain fourth from bottom with just one win and five points from their first six games.
