"A choice" or "2 choices"? Which is it?

Question

Should I say: you have a choice, pizza or burgers

or

you have two choices, pizza or burgers?

When you choose in this case, you're only making one choice between 2 options, right? So I would guess "a choice" to be correct.

You?

Answer 1

"A choice" or "two options". "Two choices" is colloquial, but I think it's unsatisfactory for the reason you give.

Answer 2

you could do either, but if you do the first one then dont for the word "between" inbetween choice and pizza.

Answer 3

I would say "You have a choice between pizza and burgers"  

Answer 4

Yes, "you have a choice" is correct.

The second would be: You have two options: pizza or burgers.

Answer 5

"You have 2 choices to choose from... you need to pick one"... the "2 choices" would be the correct one to say. Because if you say "you have A choice" then you are implying that there is only one option. Its an oxymoron sort of.
