MATLAB: Choosing between to cases

casemultipleswitch

hello all,
so I found myself in a situation where I have a switch case with two inputs
"switch blah blah
         case ['car','pizza']
         blah blah blah
         plot (x,z)
         xlabel 'fixed'
         %for the case of 'car' I need to have a different ylabel  
          than the 'pizza' case
         %for 'car'
          ylabel 'gas'
         %for 'pizza'
          ylabel 'cheese'
end"
the thing is that every time I have 'car' or 'pizza' the same thing has to happen. the only difference between those two is that I need to name the ylabel of my plot repenting on the case. I could copy paste the whole thing but with a different name, but there are too many lines and it will slow down the process.
Any suggestions? Thank you in advance

switch string
  case {'car','pizza'}  % Curly braces
    plot (x,z)
    xlabel 'fixed'
    if strcmp(string, 'car')
        ylabel 'gas'
    else
        ylabel 'cheese'
    end
end
