JJ Twig's Pizza & Pub

JJ Twig's Pizza & Pub is a Chicago-style pizzeria and pub known for its Double Decker Pizza, two layers of thin crust with meat and cheese under the toppings and a braided outer edge. The menu also covers Chicago tavern-style thin crust pizza, pasta, sandwiches including Italian beef, salads, fried appetizers like tater tots and cheese curds, and homemade Italian sausage and meatballs. Pizza dough, sauce and sausage are made fresh in the kitchen, and the sausage is made in Chicago for the restaurant.

The restaurant is not fast food, so most items are made to order and the kitchen asks for patience at busy times. Pizza takes extra time, especially the Double Decker, which is big and needs longer to cook. Carry-out is available by phone at a separate line, and frozen pizzas are sold to take home. The original location is on Dougherty Ferry Road in Valley Park, with other locations in O'Fallon and South Hampton.
