Six desserts, all $4.00 except one — three cheesecakes, two cakes, and a shareable fried option. Here’s what’s actually in each one, and how to pick the right one to end your meal.
Pricing here is about as simple as our menu gets: five of the six desserts are a flat $4.00, and only Cinnamon Sticks breaks the pattern at $4.50. So unlike categories where price signals portion size or ingredients, this is really just a flavor decision.
The six split into three natural groups: cheesecakes (plain, cherry, and strawberry), cakes (carrot and chocolate), and one fried, shareable option that’s not cake or cheesecake at all.
The Full Dessert Lineup
| Dessert | Price | Type |
|---|---|---|
| Cheesecake | $4.00 | Classic plain cheesecake |
| Cherry Cheesecake | $4.00 | Cheesecake topped with cherry |
| Strawberry Cheesecake | $4.00 | Cheesecake topped with strawberry |
| Carrot Cake | $4.00 | Layered carrot cake |
| Chocolate Cake | $4.00 | Layered chocolate cake |
| Cinnamon Sticks | $4.50 | Fried dough sticks, shareable |
If You Want Cheesecake
Three of our six desserts are cheesecake-based: the plain Cheesecake, Cherry Cheesecake, and Strawberry Cheesecake. All three share the same dense, creamy base — the only real difference is whether it’s topped with fruit or left plain. Read Cheesecake vs. Cherry vs. Strawberry Cheesecake for a full head-to-head breakdown.
The plain version is the one to order if you want the cheesecake flavor itself front and center, with nothing else competing for attention. It’s also the most versatile of the three if you’re not sure what you’re in the mood for, since it doesn’t commit you to a specific fruit flavor. Cheesecake’s dense texture actually comes from its custard base rather than flour — the dessert traces back thousands of years to ancient Greece, long before the cream-cheese version most American menus serve today.
Cherry and Strawberry both add a fruit topping on top of the same base, so the choice between them really comes down to which fruit you’d rather have — cherry leans tart, strawberry leans sweeter and lighter. Neither changes the texture of the cheesecake itself, just what sits on top of it.
If You Want Cake
Two options move away from cheesecake entirely: Carrot Cake and Chocolate Cake. Both are traditional layered cakes rather than the denser, custard-like texture of a cheesecake.
Carrot Cake is the spiced, cream-cheese-frosted option — it shares a cream cheese element with the cheesecakes above, but built into a spiced cake rather than a custard base. If you like the tang of cream cheese frosting but want cake texture instead of cheesecake texture, this bridges the two. Cream cheese frosting’s tang comes from the same cultured-dairy base used in cheesecake — a balance of tangy and sweet that King Arthur Baking notes makes it a natural pairing for spiced cakes like carrot cake.
Chocolate Cake is the most straightforward, richest option on the whole list — no fruit, no spice, just layered chocolate cake. It’s the dessert to reach for if you want something unambiguously chocolate rather than fruit-forward or tangy.
If You Want Something Shareable and Warm
The Cinnamon Sticks are the outlier on this list — fried dough coated in cinnamon sugar, served warm rather than chilled like the cakes and cheesecakes. It’s also the only dessert priced above $4.00, at $4.50.
This is the pick for a group dessert rather than a personal slice — the format is built for sharing and dipping, closer in spirit to an appetizer than a plated cake or cheesecake. If you already ordered from our appetizers, Cinnamon Sticks follows the same fried-and-shareable logic, just sweet instead of savory.
What Dessert Should You Order After Pizza?
How heavy your meal was is actually a reasonable way to decide. A dense, rich dessert on top of an already heavy meal can feel like too much, while a lighter dessert barely registers after a filling dinner.
If you went heavy — a stuffed calzone or stromboli, a loaded pizza, or a full order of wings — Cinnamon Sticks is the easier follow-up. It’s warm, shareable, and lighter to split across a table than a full slice of cake per person.
If your meal was lighter — a salad, a thin-crust slice, or a simpler wrap — you have more room for a richer dessert like cheesecake or chocolate cake without the meal feeling overloaded.
Cheesecake vs. Cake: A Quick Comparison
| Cheesecake (Plain, Cherry, Strawberry) | Cake (Carrot, Chocolate) | |
|---|---|---|
| Texture | Dense, creamy, custard-like | Soft, layered, spongier |
| Base flavor | Tangy cream cheese | Varies by cake (spiced or chocolate) |
| Best paired with | Lighter meals | Either — less rich than cheesecake |
| Options available | Plain, Cherry, Strawberry | Carrot, Chocolate |
Neither is objectively better — it’s a texture preference more than anything. If you like a denser, tangier bite, cheesecake is the direction to go. If you’d rather have a softer, more traditional slice of cake, Carrot or Chocolate Cake are the better picks.
Ordering Dessert for a Group
If you’re ordering for more than one or two people, mixing desserts is usually the better move rather than ordering six of the same thing. Since every option here is priced within 50 cents of the others, cost isn’t really a reason to stick to one choice.
A practical approach: order one cheesecake (plain is the safest bet if you don’t know everyone’s fruit preference), one cake, and a single order of Cinnamon Sticks to share across the table. That covers the tangy, the rich, and the warm-and-shareable categories in one order without doubling up on any single texture.
If the group already ordered a heavier meal — say, a mix of cheesesteaks and hoagies — leaning toward Cinnamon Sticks over multiple cake slices keeps dessert from feeling like a second full meal. It’s built to be split several ways, unlike a cake slice, which is really a single-person portion.
The same sweet-and-savory mixing logic applies to our breakfast menu too — the Sunrise Stack pancakes give you a dessert-style option earlier in the day, for the same reason Cinnamon Sticks work well after dinner.
