Something about pewutsoti doesn't sit right with me- it comes to me as "what/which dinner would you like tonight?", not what type of food is desired (as is usually being asked when you ask someone what they want for dinner)

I think I'd do pesyuvet ngal new fìtxon, "which food do you want tonight?"

Additional variants:
pefnesyuvet ngal new fìtxon - "which type of food do you want tonight?"
wutsori pesyuvet ngal new (fìtxon) - "regarding dinner, which food do you want (tonight)?"
wutsori pefnesyuvet ngal new (fìtxon) - "regarding dinner, which type of food do you want (tonight)?"
