Cheesecake Factory Original Cheesecake: Price, Calories & Nutrition (2026)
Cheesecake Factory Original Cheesecake costs $9.95 to $11.50 per slice and has 830 calories. It is the plain slice the rest of the menu is built around: a graham cracker crust, a classic creamy filling, and a sour cream topping, with nothing layered on top. A La Mode adds $2.50 and 400 calories, Hot Fudge adds $2.50 and 280 calories, and the location menus we checked price slices rather than whole cakes per flavor. Below is the slice price range, the full nutrition table, the topping math, and how Original compares with the slices built from it.
Slice prices move from one restaurant to the next, and the calorie and nutrition figures here come from the brand's published guide.
What is Original Cheesecake made of?
Original Cheesecake is a graham cracker crust, a classic creamy filling, and a sour cream topping. Three parts, no layers, no mix-ins. That plain build is the point: it is the base recipe, and several menu slices start from it and add on top, which is why the comparison below matters when you pick a slice.

Original Cheesecake calories and nutrition
Original Cheesecake has 830 calories per slice, according to the official Summer 2026 nutrition guide (Cheesecakes section). The full breakdown:
| Nutrient | Amount |
|---|---|
| Calories | 830 |
| Calories from fat | 530 |
| Total fat | 59g |
| Saturated fat | 37g |
| Trans fat | 2g |
| Cholesterol | 265mg |
| Sodium | 510mg |
| Carbohydrates | 63g |
| Fiber | 1g |
| Sugar | 51g |
| Protein | 12g |
Two numbers define the slice. Saturated fat sits at 37g, which is where most of the 830 calories come from, and sugar sits at 51g with only 1g of fiber. It is a plain slice, not a light one.
The two toppings, and what they do to the slice
Each topping costs $2.50 extra, and each changes the slice in a different way. A La Mode adds 400 calories, bringing a slice to 1,230 calories. Hot Fudge adds 280 calories, bringing a slice to 1,110 calories. If you order both, the slice reaches 1,510 calories before any drink. The base slice stays 830 calories either way; the toppings are the only variables.
Original vs the slices built from it
Original is the lightest full-flavor slice on the menu, and the comparison shows why it works as a baseline. Every slice below that adds layers, coatings, or mix-ins carries more calories than Original. The one exception is Low-Licious, which is built low-carb instead.
| Slice | Calories | What changes from Original |
|---|---|---|
| Original | 830 | Plain: crust, filling, sour cream topping |
| Fresh Strawberry | 1,000 | Original topped with glazed strawberries |
| Low-Licious | 570 | Low carb, no sugar added, gluten free |
| Salted Caramel | 1,240 | Caramel mousse on a blonde brownie, salted caramel topping |
| Oreo Dream Extreme | 1,510 | Layered with Oreo cookies, cookie mousse, chocolate icing |
| Ultimate Red Velvet Cake | 1,580 | Layers of red velvet cake and cheesecake, cream cheese frosting |
| Toasted Marshmallow S'mores Galore | 1,550 | Toasted marshmallow s'mores style |
The gap is large: the heaviest slice on this list carries almost twice the calories of Original. If you want the cheesecake flavor with the smallest number attached, Original is the pick, and Low-Licious is the only slice below it.
Can you buy a whole Original Cheesecake?
The location menus we checked list slice prices only, with no whole-cake price for any single flavor. The dessert section shows one range for every slice on the menu, and no whole-cake price by flavor appears in it. For an event, ask your local restaurant about whole-cake sizes and prices, because that number is set locally and the menu never publishes it.
Is Original Cheesecake gluten free?
No. Original Cheesecake has a graham cracker crust and is not listed in the guide's gluten-free desserts. The gluten-free listed alternative on the same menu is Low-Licious Cheesecake at 570 calories, which is low carb with no sugar added. For the full picture, see our gluten-free options.
