Cheesecake Factory Chocolate Tuxedo Cream Cheesecake: Price & Calories (2026)
The Cheesecake Factory Chocolate Tuxedo Cream Cheesecake is the slice with the lowest sodium of any cheesecake we have posted so far, 400mg, at $11.50 to $12.95 a slice at pickup and 1,250 calories. The sodium is the hook, because the rest of the slice is firmly mid-pack: it ties Adam's Peanut Butter Cup Fudge Ripple on calories and sits above every other posted slice on price at the top end. The price comes from a 12-store pickup check on the official site on November 10, 2026, and the calories from the brand's published Summer 2026 nutrition guide.
Fudge cake, chocolate cheesecake, mascarpone: what the slice is made of
Four layers, and the menu says so in one line: "Layers of Our Fudge Cake, Chocolate Cheesecake, Vanilla Mascarpone Mousse and Chocolate." That is the whole build, and it is also where the name comes from, dark fudge cake and chocolate cheesecake against pale vanilla mascarpone mousse, black and white like a tuxedo. There is no fruit, no nuts and no sauce named in the description, so the flavour is chocolate on chocolate with the mascarpone doing the softening. The slice is a cheesecake-section item only, it never shows up in the lunch specials or the Happy Hour sections in any of the six location menus checked.
400mg of sodium, the lowest of any posted slice
The number that sets this slice apart is the sodium: 400mg, the lowest of all 11 cheesecake slices posted on this site so far. The next lowest is Key Lime at 430mg, so Tuxedo leads by 30mg, and the gap to the saltiest slice is wide, Reese's Peanut Butter Chocolate Cake at 940mg, more than double. That is unusual for a chocolate slice, because the chocolate slices usually sit at the salty end of the list. It does not make the slice light, the calories and the fat are still mid-pack, but on sodium alone this is the easiest slice on the list.
| Posted slice | Sodium | Calories |
|---|---|---|
| Chocolate Tuxedo Cream Cheesecake | 400mg | 1,250 |
| Key Lime Cheesecake | 430mg | 1,160 |
| Tiramisu Cheesecake | 450mg | 980 |
| Original Cheesecake | 510mg | 830 |
| Fresh Strawberry Cheesecake | 550mg | 1,000 |
| White Chocolate Raspberry Truffle Cheesecake | 550mg | 1,220 |
| Dulce de Leche Caramel Cheesecake | 600mg | 1,390 |
| Ultimate Red Velvet Cake Cheesecake | 630mg | 1,580 |
| Adam's Peanut Butter Cup Fudge Ripple Cheesecake | 750mg | 1,250 |

| Reese's Peanut Butter Chocolate Cake Cheesecake | 940mg | 1,510 |
What a slice costs at pickup
A slice costs $11.50 to $12.95, with a median of $12.95 across 12 official pickup locations checked on November 10, 2026. Seven of the 12 stores charge the $12.95 top end, Elmhurst in New York, San Francisco, Chicago, Los Angeles, Bellevue, Boston and Denver, two charge $12.50, Miami and Phoenix, and three charge the $11.50 low end, Atlanta, Dallas and Kansas City, so most of the country pays the top price. That top end makes Tuxedo the priciest posted slice: White Chocolate Raspberry Truffle Cheesecake and Dulce de Leche Caramel Cheesecake both top out at $12.50, half a dollar lower. These are pickup prices from the official online ordering flow, not dine-in menu prices, and they can move by location, so check for any check for a promo code first before you order.

Tuxedo or Godiva: pick your chocolate cheesecake
There are two chocolate cheesecakes on the menu and they are not the same dish, so the choice is a real one. Godiva Chocolate Cheesecake is flourless Godiva chocolate cake topped with Godiva chocolate cheesecake and chocolate mousse, at 1,400 calories and 96g of sugar, 150 calories and 9g of sugar heavier than Tuxedo, but 140mg lighter on sodium at 260mg. The bigger difference is the marker: Godiva is the gluten-free chocolate cheesecake, and Tuxedo is not, it carries no gluten-free marker on any menu checked and it is not in the guide's Gluten Free Desserts section. So if gluten matters, Godiva is the pick, and if the lighter calorie count matters, Tuxedo is. A third chocolate option sits above both, Godiva Brownie Crunch Choc-A-Lot at 1,500 calories, but that is another dish again. For the full list of marked options, see the gluten-free dishes on the menu.
What A La Mode and Hot Fudge do to the slice
Both toppings cost $2.50 extra, and both change the slice a lot. A La Mode adds 400 calories and 34g of sugar, which takes the slice to 1,650 calories and 121g of sugar, heavier than Ultimate Red Velvet Cake at 1,580, the heaviest posted slice, by 70 calories. Hot Fudge adds 280 calories and 19g of sugar, which takes it to 1,530 calories and 106g of sugar, 20 calories over Oreo Dream Extreme and Reese's at 1,510. Plain, this slice is mid-pack. Dressed up, it is the heaviest slice we have posted.
| Version | Extra cost | Calories | Sugar |
|---|---|---|---|
| Plain slice | None | 1,250 | 87g |
| With A La Mode | $2.50 | 1,650 | 121g |
| With Hot Fudge | $2.50 | 1,530 | 106g |
Whole cake, gluten-free and Happy Hour, answered
Yes, you can buy the whole thing: a 10-inch Chocolate Tuxedo Cream Cheesecake is on the official menu, and it showed $65.95 to $72.95 in the same official pickup flow as the slice, so treat that as pickup pricing, not a dine-in price. No, it is not gluten-free, and there is no upon-request version either: no marker on any of the six location menus checked, and it is not in the Summer 2026 guide's Gluten Free Desserts section, which lists only Godiva Chocolate Cheesecake among the chocolate options. And no, it is not a Happy Hour item, no cheesecake slice is, so there is no Happy Hour price for it. On allergens, the official allergen guide says the slice contains milk, egg, gluten, wheat and soy, and is free of sesame, peanuts, fish, shellfish and tree nuts. Check the details on the allergen menu and the times on Happy Hour deals and times before you go.

If sodium is the number you watch, this is the slice: 400mg, the lowest of any slice posted here, with fudge cake, chocolate cheesecake and mascarpone at $11.50 to $12.95 and 1,250 calories. If gluten is the question, order Godiva instead, because this one is not gluten-free.
