In the Pierce Gambit white opts for a center control over piece development(bishop). Similar to the Hamppe-Muzio Gambit, white might also sacrifice a piece foran accelerated attack on the black king. Though might seem risky in the initial phases, can be played in blitz and bullet which involves high level preparedness to face such an attack.

A simple move which leads towards equality though white is a piece down.

White’s attack is thus neutralized and if Qxe7,then Rh6 and it is a lost game.
In the Pierce Gambit, white allows black's pawns to be aggressively advancing towards the white's kingside.In these structures white might even create a chance for a really aggressive attack which might be as a result of a piece loss as a result of the opening.These openings have also been played at the top levels of chess.
