Allen, JM, John, Liz and Nichole ate a spinach and mushroom, a pepperoni and mushroom, and a ham and cheese po'boy.
The bill was about $40.
We all gave Cimino's a B.

We trucked to Cimino's on a Saturday night to find they'd apparently recently lost their dine-in license (no public bathroom), so it didn't look promising. The staff were gracious, though, and lopped a bit off our bill. The meal made it back to an appropriate dining locale none the worse for wear, so we unpacked, divvied up, and dived in.

The ham and cheese po'boy (#45) seemed like Canadian bacon and a cheddar/provolone/mozzarella blend on a large hoagie roll. All melted under a broiler, it made for a very simple but hearty item, breaking our occasional rule of: “Don't order items not in the name of the restaurant.”

The pizzas were graced with fresh sliced mushrooms rather than canned, which we've found is rare. The crust was crackery and the sauce sweet and garlicky. Each pie was loaded with a generous amount of cheese, but we did wish the toppings and cheese had been more evenly spread rather than clumped up in the middle.

Cimino's seemed to be a jumping joint even in the middle of a rainy/slushy night.  People came in to grab take-out pizza most of the time we were loitering at their tables. Having not had comparative fare, we're happy to know that there's at least decent pizza in Waunakee.
