Clint McKay became just the fifth Australian to claim a one-day international hat-trick as the tourists sought to round out a largely underwhelming tour of the UK on a high note.
McKay removed Pietersen lbw for five from the first delivery of his second over with a full, angling delivery.
He followed with the scalps of Jonathan Trott and Joe Root, caught Aaron Finch and Shane Watson at second and first slip respectively.
McKay's devastating over left England reeling at 3-8 in pursuit of Australia's 227 in the fourth one-day international at Cardiff.
Bruce Reid, Anthony Stuart, Brett Lee and Dan Christian are the only other Australians to have claimed an ODI hat-trick.

After a shaky start George Bailey's 87 steered Australia to a competitive first-innings total against England in the fourth one-day international at Cardiff.
The Aussies were bowled out for 227 in the 49th over which was a reasonable result given they lost in-form opener Aaron Finch on the first legitimate ball of the match and Shane Watson a few overs later for just six.
But it could have been a lot better for the tourists who'd fought back to be 5-209 with almost 10 overs to play.
A late collapse, however, saw the Australians lose their last five wickets for just 18 runs in the space of 37 balls.
Off-spinner James Tredwell was carted during his first spell of 0-48 but hit back in his second spell taking 3-5.
Bailey's sterling innings of 87 off 91 balls means Australia could wrap up the series with a solid effort in the field.
The tourists lead the five-match series 1-0 with one game to come in Southampton on Monday.
Bailey smashed five fours and three sixes when recording his highest ODI score against England.
The 31-year-old brought up his 1000th ODI run during his 27th innings.
Australia made one change from Wednesday's washed out match in Birmingham with Nathan Coulter-Nile making his debut at the expense of fast bowler Josh Hazlewood.
Coulter-Nile, 25, is a right-arm quick from Perth who can also bat.
England kept the same team.
