What people say, in short
Dani's House of Pizza in Kew Gardens has a loyal following for its pesto slice and distinctive sweet sauce. A visitor considers it worth a stop on a Queens food tour, and a regular describes grabbing slices after a nearby class. The sauce is also the main divide: several diners find it too sweet, and others criticize the regular slice or modest portions. It is a strong choice for fans of that style, not a consensus pick for every pizza preference.
