Pi-hole is an amazing tool with tons of functionality beyond it's main purpose of filtering out ads from your devices. Now, imagine you went to all that trouble to get rid of those ads and tracking, but you still send all your requests right through your ISPs DNS servers, or Google's DNS servers, or anyone else's DNS servers.
Instead, how about setup your own DNS server, and then tell Pi-hole to use that? It's really not difficult, so you should definitely get it setup.
