How Much do you Tip the Pizza Delivery Guy?
Last night we all ordered in pizza at a friends house, and my friend says you're supposed to tip the delivery guy 20-25% because of gas prices, and he wanted to tip the guy about 14.00 on a 62.00 bill. I told him he was nuts and that a 6.00 - 7.00 dollar tip is plenty even for a bigger order, and the pizza place was less than 5 minutes away.
Am I a cheapskate.....how much are you supposed to tip the pizza delivery guy??

$2 a pie. Delivery place is 4 blocks away. And they already add a Delivery Charge because of gas prices.

Anytime we've been somewhere where you could have a pizza delivered its usually under $10. With that said....we don't have delivery pizza here

Having helped manage a pizza place through highschool and several years after, part time, I can say that the normal tip for the driver is less than 5 dollars, and is usually the change from the next dollar amount when rounded up.
Personally, I tip about 5 dollars.

Last time I ordered pizza, I was getting out of the shower as the pizza guy got here. The roommate let him since it's hot outside as of late, and I walked out not exactly clothed not expecting a stranger to be standing there.
So, I gave an extra nice tip so he wouldn't press charges for trauma and emotional distress |

Our drivers always claimed mileage. 17.5 cents a mile back then. It was not uncommon to have 120 miles on Friday/Sat nights.

My family usually gets a pie and an appy. Total cost is $15-18. I usually give 3 or 4 bucks.

I guess it depends on the company/franchise. None of the major chains in Texas do this. They do give the driver a certain dollar amount per delivery, but it is usually less that $1. I'd be surprised if any drivers ever make more than $50 on that fee.
Even if they do get part of the deliver charge, it should never factor into your tip. For that matter, neither should the pizza arriving late/cold/wrong toppings/etc factor in. Its not the driver's fault if the store is understaffed or poorly run. Call and request a discount for the pizza. Tip the driver the same.

No chains or franchises here Mark. Everything is locally owned. The only reason I posted the del charges is that it is something that took affect a while back when gas prices shot up. The original post stated the 25% tip was because of gas prices.

We ordered a pizza at my buddys dorm and only had $1 left for the poor guy. Then we invited him in to the party and he did vodca shots with us . I think he liked the change, lol

The pizza place where I worked in high school was a little private place and in the rich area of Indianapolis. Generally, the norm was about $5-$10, but a lot of them tipped $20+. It was rare if I ever left that night with less than $300 in tips in my pocket.

Since the Hut started adding a 15% delivery charge to every order I give em like $.40 or whatever rounds up to the next dollar. Before the charge was added I was usually very generous with maybe a $4-$5 tip on a $20 order. Not no more.
