Campus Corner

Yeah let me update this bad boy.
5.5 years later. We now live in the Philly area again. We go to basketball games and football games at Villanova. My kids are in college, but neither chose Villanova (despite getting in).
Still, whenever my kids are with us at Villanova, they insist on hitting Campus Corner. They love it, they get it, they need it.
You need it, too. Dooooo eeeeeet.

As always, like hungry ants invading a picnic park, the wildcat students of Villanova converge and congregate religiously day and night upon Campus Corner. Here, they’ll commune and partake of the taste of Philadelphia brought to the Main Line to nourish young minds. Deli sandwichs of all sorts, wraps, cheese steaks, burgers, hot dogs, calzones, strombolis, pizzas and french fries. Many times they’re wash down with the best ice cream milkshakes you’ll find on the Philadelphia Main Line. Great delivery service, yes even after midnight has made this on-​campus mecca, refer to endearingly as Campco, the go-​to-​choice of all late night feasters… affordable yes, but no health care act, grab a salad if you insist and sit in the back. This is a place where you indulge your every adolescent appetite… LONG LIVE CAMPCO

I order from this store all the time and the owner has horrible people skills. My order was wrong he told me I was a liar and that I can’t have my money back even tho I didn’t eat the food, and hung up on me 4 times and when I called back I sat on hold for almost a hour. I will never order from there again because of the owner John.

Campus corner is amazing. Getting cheese fries is an amateur move, you have to get the fries with cheese on the side. Trust me on this one. The pizza is great, cheesesteaks are better than Pat’s and Geno’s, and the milkshakes are incredible. Campco you are the best.

My dad and I stopped in quickly for a slice of pizza after our Nova tour. The owner was so welcoming and nice to us and the pizza was deliciously cheesy with great sauce and fresh dough. I highly recommend it!

The food is good. The service is horrible. I ordered a Stromboli & fries; it took over an hour & a ½ to deliver. I understand that it takes a while to make, but the wait was ridiculous. The food wasn’t warm, fries were soggy.
I’ll reconsider ordering delivery next time.

This is another favorite pizza place of mine. I’ve been coming to this place since I met my bf back in 2008. My bf on the other hand has been coming here with his late grandpa ever since he was a kid.
Their cheese pizza is still the best out there ! I think it’s even better than NYC famous pizzas !!
Not to mention, they have all kinds of milkshakes :) my go to is cookies and cream — delicious even on your last sip
Lastly, the people/​service here is hands down friendly and welcoming.
PS: this place is open really late so when you have a craving for something, this is what you need.

This is literally the most college place ever. I used to get a large Pepperoni Stromboli on every Thursday back in my student days there before going out, and many times with a Mint Chocolate Chip Milkshake. I would highly recommend both to anyone that enjoys that type of food.
The pizza is pretty good as well, and they have weekly specials like buy one get one free on meatball subs on Mondays (mmmmm).
Personally I think there are a couple other options for Cheesesteaks, but any other sort of college food you could want is here. I love the spot.

I have returned to Campus Corner on almost every trip home since moving away five years ago. The cheesesteak has always been amazing. Until my last visit.
In May 2015, the cheesesteak was still delicious — warm, tasty bread, lots of melty American cheese, and perfectly sliced and seasoned steak. By my next visit in October 2015, the bread seemed different — thicker and drier. There was very little cheese — so that more than half the meat had no cheese at all. The meat was dry too and barely seasoned.
I hope this was a fluke and that things are back on track when I’m next in town.

This place is exactly what you picture when you hear ‘campus corner’. They’ve pretty much monopolized the area for college students around Villanova. I generally expected the food to be mediocre, but it was surprisingly above average.
I’ve gone a couple times now, and I have yet to have a bad experience. Service is great, and the food comes out quick. I’ve had the pizza and the cheesesteak there and they were absolutely savaged me.
Literally nothing screams more ‘college’ than campus corner. Would recommend 100% if you’re sober, and 110% if you’re drunk (they deliver).

They never take my «light on the cheese» part of the order seriously when I get a large pie. 3 Times I ask for a light amount of cheese and 3 times I get a heavy amount of cheese and very light sauce. This is disappointing because I’m not a fan of a heavy amount of cheese on my pizza. Having said that, the pizza here undoubtedly very delicious and I recommend it every time.
Update:
This place still screws me over time and time again. I order over the phone and tell them «light on the cheese»… I swear out of spite (or maybe the person making pizza is illiterate) the pizza comes with cheese dumped all over it. LOL… how hard is it to put a small amount of cheese on, I’m actually saving them money by doing this but instead the pizza maker would rather disappoint customers… nice

I love Campus Corner, Labor Day to Memorial Day. Good food, consistent quality and orders are delivered in a timely fashion. It’s a Five-​star kind of place! By the first or second week of June everything falls apart. You can be sure that something in every order will be wrong. Oh well, i’ll be trying other places until Labor Day.

The white primavera pizza was amazing! The crust was perfectly crunchy and the topings were nothing short of delicious. Let’s just say that pizza dosappeared FAST!!!
And might I say, the staff is always cool to chat with as you are waiting for your to-​go items.

The food at this place is really great and there is takeout which I recommend because at night time the place is usually full of college kids. They have really good ice cream and creative ideas like a Caesar salad wrap. Finally there are days of the week when there are specials like chicken/​eggplant parmesan night where you buy one get one free.

I order Campco all the time. Literally my favorite place. I recommend the birthday cake ice cream, the meatball sandwich, and the pizza

Such great upside down pizza! In love,… Yummmmmmmm!!! & for all the people complaining about the cost here… Uhhh do you realize where you are?!
Overall it is a great pizza for the price

We came here after tailgating for the homecoming game. The guy who took our order was super friendly. I got the buffalo chicken cheesesteak and my boyfriend got a regular cheesesteak. He already loved this place but this was my first time.
The entire place was really clean and has plenty of seating. The woman who brought our food out was very cheery and polite.
And let me just say this place understands that good bread can either make or break the sandwich. The bread was awesome-​so flaky and fresh. My buffalo chicken cheesesteak was wonderful but I do think they could have gotten way more meat on that delicious bun.
See you next time!

So as I lay starving in my dorm, I was hit by such hard hunger cravings that I looked on Unilocal fo lr a solution. Unfortunately, there are not many places that deliver after 10, or even 10:30… I called a multitude of places, many of which stop delivery at 10…
However, Campus Corner was my saving light. I got a Fat Cat ($ 8.99) and the single Brushcetta which came with Herr’s potato chips ($ 6.99)… needless to say, but I’m still going to say, I have enoygh food leftover for a good breakfast. .
P. s. the delivery guy was really nice… I wanted to give a lot of tip because it was so late at night… but I only had quarters, no small bills. So as I explain this while awkwardly handing over $ 22.00 (~$ 4 in actual tip and half of it in quarters), he says, «I ‘ll be putting these into a jar for my grandson, for when he goes to college.» At this, I thanked him again, and am now pigging out on the Fat Cat, which is pretty good even though it’s only slightly warm. the Brushcetta smells absolutely amazing (also only slightly warm) and. see ya!

My pals in the office were practically foaming at the mouth at the thought of going back to this place, so I tagged along to see what all the fuss was about.
Maybe it was just high expectations from all the hype, but I was pretty unimpressed. I ordered a small cheesesteak and onion rings, pulling a ten-​dollar bill out of my wallet. My jaw nearly hit the floor when my total turned out to be over $ 12 – are you kidding me?
To be fair, it was a very yummy cheesesteak (and the bread is awesome) but I would never pay that for a 6″ sandwich and a side.
The restaurant itself looks like any other college-​infested diner around Villanova. Nothing special.
Word on the street is that the ice cream is the real winner. I might come back, but only to try that, and only because a Unilocal check-​in gets you a free one-​scoop dish. I’ll definitely stick to my local spots in Ardmore for my cheesesteak cravings in the future!

Solid example of an on-​campus eatery for college kids– great prices, pizza, wings, soda, lots of sandwiches, and chicken options, etc. An additional bonus is the large ice cream bar. Like I said, there are great prices– you pay $ 3 for what amounts to probably a half-​pint or a pint of ice cream. There’s ample space to sit and eat your bounty, but most of the times that I’ve come here, I’ve just grabbed the food to go. Plus, like every good college eating space– CampCo is open late.
Don’t forget to check in– if you buy something, you get a free one scoop ice cream (which is more than enough if you say you don’t want a lid).
