An Ode To Riggtown

Best Pizza Shop in West Chester

An Ode To Riggtown
The Town Dish

Unless you live under a rock in West Chester, you’ve at least heard of the glorious pizza shop known as Riggtown Oven. They have the best pizza and breakfast sandwiches in all of West Chester and they’re open till about 3am on weekends. Anyone who knows me knows I love my pizza and Riggtown is hands down my favorite.

Pizza is easily my favorite thing about going out. Sometimes my motivation to hit the town is for the pizza afterward. Riggtown’s slices run for a mere $2 and I always make sure I have just that before I leave the house. If I’m being honest, I usually get more than one slice to satisfy my late night munchies. I’m not sure what it is about the pizza, but it’s so good! I rave about it and it’s always the answer to “where do you want pizza from?” And their pizza isn’t the only amazing thing they have. Their breakfast sandwiches are a lifesaver. You can get them on bagels, toast, or a twelve-inch roll. These heavenly sandwiches are complete with egg, cheese, your choice of breakfast meat, and a hash brown. That’s right, a hash brown right on the sandwich. It’s as amazing as it sounds. Nothing like waking up after a rough night and calling Riggtown for that breakfast sandwich that will bring you back to life.

My roommate and I are frequent Riggtown customers. One of the employees even knows us by name. I feel like I should be embarrassed by that, but I’m not. We walk in, she sees our faces, recognizes our order, and along our way we go. My roommate and I have regular discussions about the other Riggtown employees we are not as familiar with. “Who was working today?” “Oh, the cute guy, the one that was there the other night.” “Oh him! Yeah, he is cute.” We are proud Riggtown regulars and would be gold members if they had a rewards card.

The Riggtown employees put up with a lot. Being open until 3am and delivering breakfast sandwiches early in the morning, they deal with a lot of drunk and hungover kids. I want you to know, Riggtown employees, your hard work is very appreciated. I can’t thank you enough for giving me pizza when I stumble into your tiny shop and the mornings when I walk in with sunglasses on while begging for a greasy sandwich. You guys truly are the real MVPs of West Chester.

Whether it’s 1am or 10am, Riggtown is my go-to spot for food. I don’t know what I’d do after a night out without stopping to get a slice or two from my favorite pizza shop. I also don’t know what I’d do a couple hours later after the night caught up to me without Riggtown giving me an amazing breakfast sandwich. My friends always know during a night out if they can’t find me, I’m at Riggtown. Shout out to Riggtown for always being there and having amazing food, I’d be hungry and probably richer without you.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
