Bonjour Alexandra,

Nous voulons is the normal way to say "we want" in French. On veut is informal. Note that on veut can also mean "you" and "people in general": On can mean either we/one/people (French Subject Pronouns)

but doesn't on also mean we ?

Yes and as Laura mentioned, it's "informal". So if you're with your friends, you can use "on" instead of "nous".
