Ordering at a cafe
Hello well I hope you can answer my question, when you go into a cafe what do normal english speakers say when they want a coffee or something? example of an order at such a place. I am trying to stop sounding so broken when i talk in these situations.

I usually teach 5 ways for requesting information.
1) Would you mind if ........ (polite + quite formal)
2) Do you mind if ....... (neutral language)
3) Could I ....... (again, neutral language)
4) May I ........ (extremely formal)
5) Can I ......... (informal)
All can be used depending on the situation.

Is it OK to say
'Give me a peperoni pizza" as a command? I often hear stuff like that in movies.
