Few delicacies unite Americans of all backgrounds and culinary tastes quite like a good slab of cheesecake, with residents of the Grand Canyon State having their go-to flavor when it comes to the dessert specialty that originated in Ancient Greece.
Between traditional flavors like chocolate and strawberry and more exotic tastes like pumpkin, Oreo, lemon and ricotta, there’s no shortage of favorite flavors.

Then, we ranked the top flavors for each state. According to our research between March 5-12, Arizona is the 10th most interested state in cheesecake.
