The ELU Hide Admin Menu plugin works well with custom user roles and menu items added by other plugins and compatible with WordPress Multisite.

This is exactly what I was looking for to hide some menu items on one site but not another. Works perfectly with multisite. Easy to use with default roles, or use a separate custom role plugin to create custom roles. Thanks!
