Using "lately" implies the perfect tense (well, perfect-progressive with "craving") in your sentence.

I've been craving something cheesy lately.

So it's not necessary to put for? I have been craving for something cheesy lately.

You have a craving for something when you crave it. You do not crave for it, you simply crave it, the same way you might desire it or want it or need it.
