★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Keri Heeren · Dec 2025

It had been a few years since ordering take out from here and it will be a few more before trying again. “Cheeseless, extra sauce” pizza (explained as for a dairy-free kid) barely had sauce and included Parmesan cheese. When we called to verify the Parmesan we saw, she explained it was a kitchen communication error, but made no effort to replace or remake it. Alfredo noodles were hard, chicken tasted freezer burnt; side salad was skimpy…just not a good experience overall for $89.

We are in town for a basketball tournament. We wanted to find a place big enough to accommodate a group of us. The bruschetta was delicious and the pizza too. My daughter has a dairy allergy and they were accommodating so she could have pizza too.

What a great atmosphere when you walk into this Italian restaurant. It’s as if you entered into a small Italy town. Their pizza ranges from small to the largest pizza you'd have ever seen... 24+ inches. Came with my family here and ordered 4 medium (14 inches), unique pizzas. Each looked better than the other. When we started separating each slice the melted cheese kept getting longer the more you pulled the slice. We had Cimino's Deluxe, Spaghetti Pizza, Taco Pizza and Cheese Pizza. Everything tasted delicious. We couldn't even finish everything. Our waitress was such a great personality and great sense of humor. Highly recommend Cimino's Little Italy.

Celebrated my daughters’ birthdays there this evening. We love their specialty pizzas. And… IT WAS HALF PRICE DESSERT NIGHT!!! We have had large family events there over the years (baptism dinners, anniversary parties, etc). Never had a dish we didn’t like.

It was my first time visiting, but was pleasantly surprised and pleased with the entire experience! Went on a Tuesday and was excited to learn about the 2 for 1 special. I have celiac’s disease, and the menu offers several gluten free options! The caprese salad was phenomenal, and the gluten free pasta was delicious. Overall, the service was good! Will definitely be visiting regularly when around.
