This is Pizza Heaven...

What's better than 1 delicious pie?  Slap another on on top of it and call it "The Double-Decker."  Typically, three slices of the double decker and it's lights out...food coma.  

I would highly suggest the lunch personal double decker with a side salad.  While much pricier than most pizza places, there is always food to take home and make another meal.

Are you joking?  This place has what seemed to be frozen pie. Flavorless and sloppy. Very dissapointed. Will not return.

BEST THIN CRUST I've had in St. Louis.  The fresh spinich and mushroom pie is AWESOME!  I've never had the double decker and unitl I get sick of thin with the spinich/mushroom I'll stick with it.  HIGHLY ENCOURAGE any thin crust fans to try this!

LOVE IT! I have loved everything I have ever had here. Anytime my work has a lunch party- we always go here. Be prepared to leave extremely full... that would probably be my only gripe. The buffalo chicken dip is AMAZING! It's served with fritos (the taste outweighs the calories) and you have to be careful because they may fill you up before dinner. I love the garlic chicken pizza... the double decker is a-maz-ing.

The restaurant is clean and the staff is very friendly and they are always out to please, which is great. One time we were brought the wrong pizza- and not only did they not charge us for it- they let us take it home in a to-go box. :) The presentation is casual and fun, which can be very refreshing.

LOVE IT.

Went there last night and LOVED it! The service was great (except when it came time to pay- that was a little slow) and the draft beer selection os pretty good. We had a pitcher of Blue Moon and a double decker black olive pizza and two dinner salads. The dinner salads were pretty good sized and delicious, the house dressing being a ranch/Italian mix. Also, they are the first place I have been to where they put the salad in an oversized bowl- that was awesome! I hate when places put their salads on plates that are the exact size of the salad so it spills onto the table. That's annoying. Also, they have very tasty fresh made croutons.
The pizza was really good, had a nice chewy mozzarella and a good crust.
In the incredibly annoying words of Rachael Ray, "Yummo!" and "Deelish!"
We will definitely be back.

As you can see, almost everyone enjoys JJ Twig's. But what not everyone might know, is that pizza isn't the only good thing on the menu. Thier chicken strips are so fresh-tasting. I eat mine with cheese sauce. People think it's gross, but I think it's delicious. Everything there is great. I would certainly recommend it.

This is some of the best pizza in St. Louis!

You have to try The Double Decker, though I must warn you it IS a diet breaker! I've no clue of the calorie content, but each piece of a large double decker has to be at least 400 - 500 calories if i were to guess. If one were to eat this pizza daily, lets just say that your waist line will um....expand.

Their original pizza is awesome too, but all in all I really like The Double Decker. It's unlike any pizza I've had in St. Louis and in fact, it's all I order when I am there since it's so good. As an aficionado of left over pizza, I have to say that this pizza is also excellent cold the next day.

Supposedly their other menu items are good too but I wouldn't know since as I've already stated I only get The Double Decker.

This pizza really is a blessing in such a pizza wasteland as St. Louis...

This double decker pizza competes for some of the best in STL! JJ Twig's has a great bar/restaurant atmosphere. It's a pretty small place and I think they will have to expand or move soon. Nice little bar area and slightly larger dining room. Okay back to the pizza. The crust is very light and obviously hand-made.  I would love to see them do a Chicago-style pizza. The double-decker is more NY style but with 2 layers.
I highly, highly recommend this place.

quite possibly the best pizza I've had in St. Louis. With so many pizza places using provel..it's hard to find good pizza. J.J. Twigs accomplishes that.  Dont miss the double decker and especially the JJ Twigs specialty.

There salads arent half bad either and the caesar goes perfect with the pizza.

Pizza is a big deal is STL, as you may have noticed from the sheer volume of pizza entries on yelp. While I'm a big fan of pizza (a huge one, in fact) I'm not a big fan of JJ Twig's Pizza- especially not their specialty pizza- the double decker. I like thin crust pizza but I'm not a big fan of two thin crust pizzas piled one on top of the other; it's messy and just too difficult to eat. The single layer thin crust here is fine, good in fact, but I've had better and so have you.

The crust on the pizza here is wonderful, unlike any other pizza I have had.  The decor is dark wood and booths, with sports on numerous flat screens around the place.  Very comfortable feel to the place. There are other jj twig's, all up in the Chicago suburbs, but the pizza is not a Chicago style deep dish.  jj twig's offer single crust and their specialty: double crust.
