Awesome double decker pizza...good service. Fresh and hot...try the sausage, mushrooms, green peppers, onions....my favorite .. read more

Not our favorite. Sauce was just ok, thin crust was just ok. It was a pizza tasting - we chose large cheese pizza (two of us are vegetarians pescatarians ) and this way we got an evening idea of which one we like the best for us staying in Palatine, IL. JJ's was rated 2nd for us as a family GATHERING OF 11 for an event in for WORLDS IRISH DANCE COMPETITION IN SHAMBURG. We also tried Wayne's (it took fourth place for the double-decker and third place for the regular thin crust) Tievilo which took first place for us for flavor sauce, and crust! read more

Love their pizza but their prices are among the highest in the suburbs. We recently ordered a 10 inch veggie and 12 inch sausage. Bill was $52! read more

This family run restaurant is about as local and authentic to the neighborhood as they come! It's small but they can pack in a real crowd and they do! It gets very packed afterwards 5:30 and earlier on the weekends. Their specialty is pizza but they allegedly have great burgers and sandwiches. The service is incredible and you'll have no problem reaching a waiter or server anytime you need anything. read more

This is my first time trying JJ Twigs Italian beef. I ordered the Supreme Italian that includes mozzarella cheese on garlic bread. I added sweet peppers to the sandwich. It was delicious and generous in size. The roll ends were crusty and even after adding the au jus the bread held up well. I added some peppericcini that I had at home. With the addition of a Cesar salad it made for a perfect carry out dinner. JJ Twigs never disappoints. Parking can be tight on busy weekends but that adds to the cozy experience of this locally iconic restaurant. The staff is always friendly too. read more

This pizza joint with horrible parking was recommended to me. I'm not a billionaire. Over $30 for a small pizza with olive seeds included and hurt my teeth. Flavor was good, but I will never be back. Even after I win PowerBall. At least the beer was cold, but that's easy. read more

I enjoyed JJ Twigs! My husband and I went for lunch recently. Upon entering, I felt like I was in a cozy lodge with all of the wood furniture. We were able to choose any table we wanted. Service was quick, friendly & informative. We got a salad and a small pizza, which was the perfect size for 2. Everything was tasty and fresh. I loved the thin cracker crust of the pizza! They have alcohol options as well, which was very reasonably priced. I can't wait to try more of their speciality pizzas! read more

Drove past and realized it's been about 10 years since I've eaten here, mainly due to my wife's food allergies. My boys and I stopped in for lunch. We started with the loaded fries which I remembered being amazing. They were not, it's just fires smothered in a yellow cheese sauce (which was just ok) and bacon crumbles. The fries alone were good, bring loaded actually detracted from the taste. We then got some boneless wings and an italian beef. Everything here is cooked in the oven which is unfortunate. I ordered the "hot honey" sauce and it was literally like I had dipped my chicken in honey like a 3 year old. Not sure where the "hot" part was but it never arrived. I won't write this place off, I would definitely come back here and try the pizza next time but I'm staying away from anything else. read more

We've been going here for years and the service has always been excellent. We enjoy the food and the atmosphere, it keeps up coming back. However, was there last week, we ordered an appetizer and two 14" pizzas along with a few drinks. The total with tip was $200...for pizza?!?! We will still go here, but for $200 a pop...for pizza, we'll def be spacing out our visits. read more

I stopped in with some friends on a Saturday afternoon & this place was busy! Mary was our server & she was the sweetest & took amazing care of us! We ordered a small pizza, grilled chicken salad & mac & cheese bites & the food was spectacular! I think we only waited like 15-20 minutes for all of our food! I have nothing negative to say about this restaurant! It is the perfect cozy pizza place! If I could rate over 5 stars I would!! read more

While this establishment feels old school and has been around a while the staff is really super nice and very attentive when needed. The burgers and fries are outstanding. Gonna go back to try their pizza at some point. Great prices too read more

Friendly and fast service, we came here on a weekday and it was pretty empty inside so we had the restaurant to ourselves. Restaurant looks like a log cabin from the outside and the ambience carries through where everything is wood and brown inside. Medium restaurant with mostly booths up front. We had a margherita and a sausage thin crust pizza, a bbq chicken salad, and an appetizer plate. Everything was really good! Pics below, would definitely check them out. read more

Great local pizza! We haven't dined in, but will certainly do so. To go orders have been great.

This has been a go-to for pizza when I'm visiting my Palatine friends. We love that they have the 9" size then everyone can have exactly what they want with potential leftovers! Crust is deliciously crispy and always arrives hot. Also don't miss their JJ Twig's salad! read more

Great everytime I come in. Food, is great and the Service is excellent, even when they are busy. Highly recommended.

This is a clean pleasant looking newly opened restaurant/ bar in Antioch. We were greeted by very friendly staff and owner on arrival. Pizza and appetizer we ordered were tasty. Margarita's were also very good. Would be rated so much better if service could be faster. Appetizer took 50 minutes to cook. Unfortunately, cooking time was very slow on our last visit also. Otherwise this could be a nice new restaurant. Will give one more try then will go elsewhere read more

Mediocre bar food. All came out together including appetizers, even when we asked for apps first. Small wings, good spicy barbecue sauce. Small side of fries was small. Husband had baked pasta which was hot pasta with cheese on top but it hadn't been baked. Everything was a bit off. read more

Proper thin-crust pizza, attentive service, cozy atmosphere. Twig's has you set for high-quality thin-crust pizza, good wings, cold beer on tap, and a lodge-like Northwoods atmosphere. Lots of TVs to watch sports, or gaze out the window and watch trains go by. Very friendly staff that are quick and attentive. read more

Great thin crust pizza but don't forget some other great items on the menu. Pasta, burger, salads etc. good beer selection too. The only complaint is this could possibly be the loudest small restaurant I've ever been to. When you leave, your stomach will be happy but your head will be pounding. read more

The pizza and fries were really really delicious. I mean one of the best thin crust pizzas I've had. We had the Southwest pizza. Sausage, bacon, onion and bbq sauce. Perfection! The service was excellent! On the spot, friendly, and always checking on us. Going back as soon as I can. read more

Their double decker pepperoni lovers pizza is to die for. I've always enjoyed their double decker pizzas but their pepperoni lovers is by far the best I've had anywhere. Also love their fried cheese curds and fried Mac&Cheese. Always a win with those. read more

I have been going to this place for over 10 years... Tonight I went with my best friend and her daughter and friends ages 9 to 11. Sat at a table order over 300 worth of food - kids were having fun and restaurant was 'busy' -then a random awkward man sitting alone, that I have never seen before asks our table to be quiet- after for the first 15 mins we were there - we listened to a screaming 6 year old lose his mind while his parents obviously didn't hear it. Who cares!! It's a family place, right?!? I then said to this gentleman- these girls are just having fun..and he said this is not a playground, and I said huh? These are young girls who were sitting at the table, giggling and having fun? He was rude, angry and so mean! Long story short it was the OWNER, never saw this guy in the decade I have been going there!! I would not write this obviously if I wasn't astonished!! Long story short - won't ever go back.. over priced pizza that I have been paying for because of convenience but this experience was awful!! 3 other patrons came to our table and said wow that was awful the way he spoke to you all! JJ twigs in wauconda, while a little bitter further has BETTER FOOD, BETTER PRICES AND BETTER SERVICE!! Never going back ! read more

I have been going to jj twigs for over 20 years. i would have to say the service has gotten so bad. Two months ago I ordered and they messed my wings order up. Just today we placed an order and had a coupon and they did not honor it. We do our kids birthdays there every year. I have a 17 year old and a 9 year old. we have been doing the bdays there since my daughter was 6. We will no longer going to JJ Twigs due to customer service. read more

Food 10/10. Ambiance 10/0. Service 10/10 best waitress ever!!!!! I think her name is Victoria? Anyways ignore the other reviews about this place. mines the only credible one. read more

Has a variety of appetizers, sandwiches, and pizzas. Goes beyond the standard pizza fare with an italian beef pizza, buffalo chicken pizza, western pizza (with BBQ sauce), and other creative ideas. The food was quite good. The set up is like a large train car - similar to sitting in an oversized railcar going across the country. Well above-average pizza for a decent price. read more

Outstanding Pizza, great atmosphere, and excellent draft beer selection. For a rather small building, its quite amazing the selection of food and drinks that they have. Service is also top-notch and the staff is exceedingly friendly every time we are here. Highly recommend stopping in when you see this place on the side of the road! read more

We chose JJ Twig's based on location, it was a nice halfway point to meet family. I will be honest, the outside has very hole in the wall bar vibes, so I was not sure if it would be kid friendly. I was pleasantly surprised. Our waiter helped get us highchairs and he cleaned them off for us. It was a small act, but that does not happen very often at other places. We ordered pizza, kids meals, and a few sandwiches. I really enjoyed the pizza and it had a unique flavor. We really enjoyed our leftovers too! Our waiter, Peter C., really made our experience. We were in the back of the restaurant and he made an effort to check on us often and was so kind. He really cared about making sure we had a good experience. Thank you Peter for your great hospitality! If you are looking for a cozy family friendly pizza restaurant, I highly recommend you check JJ Twig's out. Ask for Peter, he will take great care of your table! read more

The atmosphere was great. I loved how the place looked on the inside. The pizza was bad it was ok nothing special. But the side of fries we order I really enjoyed. Not sure what was sprinkled on top of them. But they were awesome! read more

Far superior to another location in Lake Zurich. This 5 star review is for the pizza only as that's all I ever order. I actually live closer to the LZ location, but LZ is take-out or delivery only. Expect to wait an hour and half for delivery from LZ location. Palatine is my new go to and quality is much better at this location. If in the area try it, I think you'll agree. read more

JJ Twigs is great they do thin pizza right have visited their locations in both Illinois and Missouri. Consistently good! Wish they were closer as I used to live close to the Illinois locations. If you're in doubt. Sausage , extra cheese and Mushroom! read more

We first started going to JJ Twigs shortly after we moved to the Chicago suburbs in the 80s, and my kid was just a sprout. They had peanuts on the table, and she got a huge kick out being able to throw the shells on the floor.... being messy on purpose! I liked the thin crust pizza (OK, and the peanuts, too), the restaurant uses fresh made Italian sausage, and whole milk mozzarella, which gives the cheese a nice stretchiness quality. They had a smattering of herbs which I find pleasing, as well. The original location was overlooking serene Lake Zurich, IL, but that location burned down in 2004. They moved up the road inside the arcade building at a mini golf, and I stopped in there once or twice over the years, but only for take out. Finally they moved to their present location, on Highway 14 in Palatine, into s cozy building that was previously another pizzeria, which I can't JJ Twigs Pizza Reviewremember the name of. It's smaller than the original location, but a warmer decor, and they offer their entire lengthy menu of pizza, sandwiches, and entrees, along with a full bar. JJ Twigs is known for their unique "double decker" pizza, which is two fully topped thin crust pizzas, one atop the other, sealed together with a thick hand-turned outer crust. I've never tried it. I had my "usual," a thin crust sausage with green olive, and double cheese. And it was fabulous. Chased it down with an Italian beef but took most of both home, of course. The pie is every bit as good as I remembered, and I'd stop by more often, but it's quite a hike for me. They have quite a few TVs as well as a separate room, JJ Twigs would be a fun place to have a small party or catch the game. There are four additional locations, one in Wauconda, IL, and three in St. Louis, MO. Same menus, recipes. JJ Twigs menu is competitively priced for the area. read more

Solid pizza. Generous toppings. Thin crust was ordered and it was firm and crisp everywhere, unlike places that sometimes leave it soggy in the middle. We ordered carry-out, but after noticing the beer selection and seating area inside, might dine in next time! read more

Was all about ordering a thin crust pizza for myself tonight. Thought maybe a 12" was to small but a 14" was perfect. Two ingredients literally $39 before tip..... ummm yah keep that pizza. That frozen at jewel sounding so much better. My old boss use to say "pigs get fat hogs get slaughtered." Ummmm let's see how long you can ride this greed train out read more
