Hello,
how would you correct these sentences?
1) I prepare for dinner only bread with butter and ham.
2) I serve for dinner only bread with butter and ham.
3) Mum, I´m hungry. Can I go for a pizza to the restaurant? - or is it necessary to say: May I get a pizza in the restaurant?
Thank you Mowgli

Hello Mowgli,
#1 & #2-- I prepared/served only ham with bread and butter for dinner.
#3-- both can I? and may I? are OK. May is more polite, but with our mothers we usually use can.

Hello,
I don´t know if it´s a sandwich, but it´s possible. I mean a typical Czech kinde of bread which we buy at the baker´s and we cut it into slices (at home) and put butter and then ham on it. I think you can often buy such a kind of bread in German.

Sounds like a ham sandwich to me, Mowgli. I prefer mayonnaise to butter, though.
