Slices of pizza

0 Hello. This is kind of silly, but if you had to point to slices of pizza and refer to two of them using either 'this' or 'these', would it be 'two slices of this' or 'two slices of these'?02br
02br
00Point for 'this': two slices of this 05002br
00Point for 'these': two slices (out) of these (slices)02br
02br
00If both could be correct, which one would you normally say?02br
02br
00Thank you010id28
