There's a lot to miss about Villanova over the summer. There's the campus, the basketball games, the people, and, more importantly, the food. No, not the meals from the Pit or the Spit, but the late night, delicious food from Campus Corner, otherwise known as CampCo. CampCo is a staple of the Villanova community and one that I have been literally craving these past few weeks. While it seems like everyone has their go-to order, there are a few options on the menu that need to be acknowledged. Here's a list of the top 7 CampCo orders, pay attention so you can order correctly next time you pick up the phone or show up at 1 am at their door.
7. Salad
No, this is a joke. This is not part of the list. If you are the type of person who orders a salad from CampCo, I hate you and you really need to evaluate some life choices.
Actual 7. Milkshakes
Milkshakes don't take a lot of time to make, taste delicious and still leave you with enough room to order more food. I personally like the birthday cake flavor, but you can't go wrong. No matter the time or season, a CampCo milkshake will always hit the spot.
6. Cheese Pizza
I'm from New York, so my pizza expectations are high. Coming to school in Pennsylvania, I was a little wary about trying the pizza, but CampCo's plain pizza is definitely a nice substitute. Whenever you're craving a slice from your town pizzeria, don't hesitate to trust CampCo because they won't disappoint.
5. Calzone
There is literally nothing wrong with calzones; they're bread and cheese and delicious. I recommend getting a small though, because a small can literally feed your roommate and you, while having enough left over for another meal.
4. Fat Cat
You're in college, so calories don't count. At least, that's what I tell myself when I order a Fat Cat. It's not even on CampCo's website, but it's a sandwich that combines mozz sticks, chicken fingers, bacon, french fries and more cheese. Usually, Villanovans choose to pair it with a side of honey mustard or ranch to make it the best it can be.
3. Mac & Cheese Bites
I highly recommend you live a little and get the 10 piece of mac & cheese bites. Even if you don't think you can finish 10, when your friends beg you for one you'll be glad you went big and have some left over.
2. Zilly Fries
Zilly fries can be described by one word: iconic. This combination of fries, bacon and mozzarella, along with ranch dressing if you're feeling ~risky~, can only be found at Villanova and is probably the most popular item on the menu.
1. Zilly Fry Pizza
On CampCo's secret menu is the zilly fry pizza. My roommate and I discovered this last year, and my life has been changed ever since. This amazing combination of food will leave you feeling happier than you ever have in your life, along with a little bloated. The bloating is worth it.
