In Britain try "may I have?" in most environments; "can I get" may be entirely acceptable in Starbucks or Domino's, neither of which I use.

The real question is why are you trying to get a coffee shop to make you a pizza, and a pizza place to give you coffee....

Around here (in Wisconsin), "could I have" is generally far more common than "may I have", which sounds quite formal and which is not used in most contexts by most except pedants who insist on the use of "may".
