There is someone in the office I'd like to impress today. Only serious answers please. I don't want to end up asking him if he wants a piece of *** or something sick like that.
Thanks

No it's one of those huge pretzels from the mall. So I'd like to offer a piece. And by the way is VEUX pronounced VOU?

The previous two answerers did a good job, with one exception. It tunrs out that there is an equivalent to "pretzel" in French. It's "bretzel" (considered as a buscuit from Alsace). And "z" will probably sound as "z" not as "ts".

Voulez-vous un morceau de bretzel?

And if it's a really close friend: "veux-tu un morceau de bretzel?"

I don't think the french have pretzels, or a word for them... so I would say,
Voudrais-vous un morceau de pretzel?
or to be safe, say,
Voudrais-vous un pretzel?
because morceau means piece, but I think it's more like a portion than a piece, like with cake. I think morceau would work fine though.
And don't be intimidated by the 3 vowels together at the end of that word, it's pronounced something like an open o. And if you're feeling confident, gurggify that R! (I think I just made up a word :-)).
I don't know if you've ever studied french, so just in case, the rest is pronounced something like,
voodre-voo aen morso de pretzel?
voodre-voo aen pretzel?

I suppose you want to offer him a complete pretzel, not a piece of yours?

Est-ce que tu veux un pretzel? or

Veux-tu un pretzel?

Addition: so yes, if it is a piece of a big pretzel, say:
Est-ce que tu veux un morceau de pretzel? ou
Veux-tu un morceau de pretzel?

Veux is pronounced like the e in "the"
