We present measurements of the double longitudinal spin asymmetries for inclusive pi0 and pi+(-) production in polarized p+p collisions at sqrt(s) = 200 GeV at mid-rapidity with the STAR detector from the 2005 RHIC run. These measurements are used to access Delta G/G, the gluon polarization in the proton. The observed unpolarized inclusive cross sections show good agreement with NLO pQCD calculations. The double longitudinal spin asymmetries are compared to NLO pQCD calculations based on different assumptions for the gluon polarization in the nucleon to provide constraints on Delta G/G. At the present level of statistics the measured asymmetries disfavor a large positive gluon polarization, but cannot yet distinguish between other scenarios.
