How would you say "so..." in japanese?

For example, in a colloquial conversation like those: "So... will you eat the pizza?" "So... what do we do now?"
Thanks

Out of the blue? I guess で (de) would be an equivalent. They're both kind of a teenage expression.

"Sorejaa" from "Soredewa" and commonly shortened to "jaa". But they can mean also "in that case" or "now".

Those aren't the same "so".

Isn`t that `So` in english just a filler word, with no essential meaning in that usage - just breaking the silence? Thus any commonly used word should do just fine. I might use `jaa...` or `dewa...` A female might use `ne...`.

Well, at least in Greater Tokyo you don't really say "jaa/dewa sono piza tabenaino?" out of the blue. But you can say "nee..." in that context. It's a bit more like "Hey", though.

Sometimes poorly used English slag words or poorly used English grammar skills do not have the ability to translate to other languages.
It would be a good time to break those terrible teenager habits and learn to communicate and speak properly.

"ja" also comes to my mind, but then I'm struggling to imagine the exact conversation leading up to "So, will you eat the pizza?" (sounds aggressive)
