Owen Evans parried a shot from Jake Reeves midway through the first half and Alistair Smith curled an effort just wide in the 36th minute.
Cheltenham did show an improvement early in the second half, but Pigott's first league strike of the campaign put the Dons on course for their second win of the season.
The closest Cheltenham came to levelling was a curling shot from Cardiff loanee Joel Colwill that was pushed away by Goodman diving to his left in the 74th minute, while Tom Pett's injury-time effort was tame.
