Tomorrow is National Cheesecake day, the one day a year where we all celebrate that (other) delectable dairy dessert we all love. Cheesecakes always seem to strike that perfect balance of sweet yet savory, rich yet light, cold yet creamy. While the traditional cheesecake is an after-dinner staple, restaurants around the country have innovated and improved upon the original, with new flavors, toppings and varieties.
In honor of National Cheesecake Day, here are six mouthwatering cheesecakes that offer delivery, so you can try those tastes in the comfort of your own home.
New York Cheesecake, Cugini Manzone - Berkeley, CA
Nestled in Berkeley California, this Italian restaurant offers woodfired pizza and authentic Italian specialities. Their New York Cheesecake, topped with fresh strawberries, is the perfect way to top off a meal.
Johnny’s Cheesecake, All Star Pizza Bar - Cambridge, MA
In the heart of Cambridge’s Inman Square, lies All Star Pizza Bar, a restaurant know for another type of pies – it’s pizza. But don’t be deceived, because Chef Johnny’s creativity extends to dessert as well. While their cheesecake rotates daily, you won’t go wrong no matter what’s on the menu.
Blueberry Cheesecake, Atticus Creamery & Pies - Los Angeles, CA
Sometimes you don’t need dinner to have dessert. And that’s where Atticus Creamery and Pies comes in. Their ice cream and pies are handcrafted and made fresh daily, using only the very best ingredients. Try the blueberry cheesecake, which has a surprise of blueberry jam at the bottom and a dollop of light cream on top. Made with light cream, real blueberries and blueberry sauce, the ingredients speak for themselves (though the tree stump is not included).
Strawberry Cheesecake, Saltgrass Steak House - Texas and beyond
Saltgrass Steak House has award winning food and irresistible desserts that are made from scratch daily. Their homemade desserts are the perfect compliment after a hearty meal of steak that’s chargrilled to perfection. Topped with white chocolate sauce and fresh strawberries, their cheesecake is the perfect size to share with a friend – or keep it all to yourself.
Homemade Cheesecake, Vitello’s Express - Sherman Oaks, CA
If you’re looking for a local favorite, you’ve come to the right place. Vitello’s is a Sherman Oaks institution, and while they’re mostly known for pizza, their homemade cheesecake is a must. Made with graham cracker, walnut, and topped with fresh fruit, you can buy a slice or take home an entire pie!
Strawberry Cheesecake, Pizza Zone “N” Grill - San Francisco, CA
If you want fast and easy, you’ve come to the right place. Pizza Zone has everything from wings, to mozzarella sticks, to pizza, to cheesecakes. Their Strawberry Cheesecake may seem small compared to their Chocolate Mousse Cake, but what it lacks in size it makes up for in flavor.
