Tony Hackworth's men returned to winning ways thanks to a late strike.
After a quiet first half, Pikes came close through Joe Wood, after the break.
However, visitors Handsworth then hit the crossbar.
Finally, Pickering made the breakthrough, with just four minutes left on the clock.
It was Souleymane Coulibaly who rose highest to head home the winner in a 1-0 victory.
Pikes have now cut the gap between themselves and the play-off spots to seven points.
They host Barton Town on Saturday as part of a run-in containing all but one match at home.
