History

Cheesecakes by Alex was founded after owner, Chef Alex Amoroso perfected his cheesecake recipe. Using a trial and error method. In 2002, Alex’s mother-in-law requested that he make a cheesecake. He was unsatisfied with what he’d produced, so he challenged himself to redo the cheesecake until his recipe was perfected. To read Alex’s full account of the history, follow this link.
