ración de pizza


Explanation:
“No olvides nuestras fantásticas bebidas y postres; son el complemento perfecto [ideal] para tu ración de pizza”.

Another option.

If "pizza/meal" then, "para tu pizza/comida" or "para tu pizza o tu pedido".

Como bien indica Georgio, “ración” puede no sonar bien en algunos países, sin embargo, en una época en que se controlan las calorías y los ingredientes de los alimentos que tomamos, y aunque el uso de “porción” está más extendido, “ración” puede ser un elemento deseable en un menú o en una campaña de marketing, en especial en el mundo de las “dietas” y alimentos “naturales”, etc. para adelgazar y esas cosas...

Me recuerda al anuncio de hamburguesas, o algo así en que el tipo pide patatas fritas, dos hamburguesas de queso dobles, etc. y luego se pide una “Coca-Cola” “light”... ;-) A veces, lo contradictorio y lo “menos común” o lo menos “aceptable” puede funcionar bien, según qué contextos.

Quizá, lo mejor sea “pizza” a secas, como indica Patricia, que es lo más sencillo y natural, pero bueno es tener otras opciones que pueden tenerse en cuenta para diversos contextos. En el contexto presente, lo dicho.

agree  José Alberto Ruiz Pérez:

  -> Gracias, Alberto.
disagree  Georgo: Considero esa traducción muy correcta, pero no apropiada para una propaganda de una empresa de catering (me parece que en muchos países no sonaría bien).
10 hrs
  -> Gracias, Georgo. En estos tiempos en que la gente controla el “sobre-peso” se mira sus calorías, sus proteínas, los componentes de lo que come, etc. “ración” me parece una elección no sólo buena, sino idónea. Pero para gustos, los colores, claro.
