The valence band edge in tiny angle twist bilayers of MoS$_2$ and phosphorene is shown to consist of highly localized energy levels created by a `moir\'e quantum well', i.e. trapped by the interlayer moir\'e potential. These approximately uniformly spaced energy levels exhibit a richly modulated charge density, becoming ultra-localized at the valence band maximum. The number and spacing of such levels is controllable by the twist angle and interlayer interaction strength, suggesting the possibility of `moir\'e engineering' ordered arrays of quantum dots in 2d twist semi-conductors.
