What about

piesimoR[n_, m_String] := First /@
StringPosition[StringDrop[ToString[N[Pi, n]], 2], m]
piesimoR[10^7, "9999999"]//Timing

{4.04938, {1722776, 3389380, 4313727, 5466169}}

The original gave

piesimo[10^7, 9, 7]

{9.56055, {1722776, 3389380, 4313727, 5466169}}

If you intend to search several sequences it's better to save the
stringfied pi

pistring = StringDrop[ToString[N[Pi, 10^7]], 2];
piesimoS[m_String] := First /@ StringPosition[pistring, m]

piesimoS["9999999"]//Timing

{0.203969, {1722776, 3389380, 4313727, 5466169}}

piesimoS["1234567"]//Timing

{0.203969, {9470344}}
