- hosts: localhost
  gather_facts: false
  vars:
      neo4j:
        name: neo4j
      api_service:
        name: api_service
        pid: /var/api/pid
  tasks:
    - debug:
        msg: "{{item.pid|default('/var/run/{{item.name}}/{{item.name}}.pid')}}"

You cant't nest {{ }}

      with_items:
          - "{{ vars[service] }}"

ansible-playbook play.yml --extra-vars service=api-service

how will I debug both dictionaries?
  I know that I can't give
     --extra-vars service=api-service,neo4j or as a llist

or is there any way to dynamically iterate using user given dictionaries.

You could do something like this

   - debug:
       msg: "{{ vars[item].pid | default('/var/run/' ~ vars[item].name ~ '/' ~ vars[item].name ~ '.pid')}}"
     with_items:
         - "{{ service.split(',') }}"

And then you can use a comma separated values in --extra-vars

Thank you, dude.
It worked perfectly.
