X-Pizza man says:
You should always tip the driver. If I ever took a long time to deliver a pizza it was because someone else screwed up. Either the kitchen took too long or the person who took the call screwed up with the directions/address. $2-$4 is normal. $5 is too much and less than 2 is dissapointing. |

A couple of bucks depending upon the total cost of the order. I pretty much live on delivery food so I need to stay on good terms with the few places that deliver out here in the sticks [;)]
My favorite pizza place has got this really cute girl delivering food a couple of nights a week now. The last time she found here way to my place she wanted to stand there and chat for a bit; a quite pleasant diversion. Shame she's about 15 years too young for me to pursue, though I got the impression it would be a pretty easy catch. Where were these girls when I was her age? |

Well, I live in a rural area so I can't have pizza delivered.. And that sucks.
However, when I WAS able to order pizza I always tipped the driver. At least two bucks. More if a big order. People who don't tip (delivery drivers, waiters, bartenders, etc.) are complete assclowns, and need to be sat down and taught good social skills. Hope somebody doesn't take that as a personal attack. |

I always round it up to the nearest $5, unless it's real close to it anyway, then I just add a couple bucks.
Here's a twist: My buddy just got back from Ireland, and said that tips are considered an offence there. In their culture, by tipping, you're showing that you've got more money than them. |

$2 and never more. Considering the price of a decent pie in NYC is $13, I find spending more than $2 to be a waste. These guys deliver many many pies in a day and can make good money on $2. Not to mention, I never get my pie in a reasonable amount of time.
I'll tip nothing if I don't get the pie in 1/2 hour, especially since I'm 4 blocks away. |

What about if the place charges a delivery fee, when do you guys still tip? and if so the same amount or do you think that since they are charging you for it that the delivery guy gets a kick back from the place?

As an ex-pizza delivery guy... 2 bucks was an average tip for us. I know some people drop bigger tips if I could get it to them in under 15min. I think the most I've ever been tiped for one pizza was 7 bucks. And trust me I remember those people and always get them their pizza first. I also remembered the people that didn't tip and let them get their pizza after I delivered the others. But I always tried to deliver them as fast as I could.
About 3 weeks of working there I acctually start to know the "regulars" by name, order and address, along with what condoments they liked. |

In their culture, by tipping, you're showing that you've got more money than them. kinda true, kinda not. the tip is already figured into the price of the meal. ...but tips are appreciated in most places. if your staying at a B&B tips are usually expected since most of the clientele are foreign. BTW Ireland is one of the best places to visit if your an American. Eire is my favorite place to visit. if ya have not been ya gotta go. Slan |

The pizza guy? He's nothing special. When I order pizza, I want two orders of free breadsticks, and extra cheese. If they really put forth an effort, I'll give 'em something extra, but this tipping automatically, it's for the birds. Do you tip the kid behind the counter at McDonalds? What, society say "tip these guys over here, but not these guys over here"?
Sure, I know kids put themselves through college on it-Fuck all that...they make minimum wage. If they don't like the pay, they can quit. Don't get me wrong, I think it's a shame the goverment taxes their tips, but it seems to me that pizza delivery guys are one of the many groups the government fucks in the ass on a regular basis. You put it to a peice of paper says they shouldn't do it, I'll sign it, put it to a vote, I'll vote for it, but one thing I won't do, I won't play ball. I don't tip. I don't beleive in it. |

Many pizza guys make well over minimum wage. So I can see not tipping them. (the only reason I do it is to keep them from jacking off in my pie while there out all alone in the car) I tip people who make less than minimum with tips assumed. (provided they do a good job) |

I believe these people that are serving your food(and not from behind a counter)are making minimun wage because its expected that they will derive an income from tips, ya cheap bastard.[:D] Hope you don't find any short hairs in your next pizza. |

Being an ex-pizza guy(NOT pizza boy) myself, I will always give a tip, usually around 2 bucks, more if 20 minutes or less. What about the pizza chicks? The womenz I used to work with ALWAYS brought in lots better tips. I did get a few dates as 'tips', not bragging though. One of the best tips I got for one pizza was 7 or 8 bucks. I was delivering to two 'womenz of the night' in a van in a deserted parking lot. Gotta love fellow service industry people. One last thing, some Domino's will give you buy one get one free if you pick-up, you have to ask usually. I can get my happy ass off the couch for the 3 and a half minute drive for that!! hmmm, stomach just started growling...[:|]

Fuckin-a, I did it for about 8 months. In my part of town, people tip great. Usually an average of $4/pizza, plus a $1 delivery fee that goes right in my pocket. Add that all on top of minimum wage and it's very good money for being 19, living at home, and going to school. Usually around $40-$50 a night, with a 5 hour shift. Easy, easy money. Biggest tip I ever got was like $35 from a really drunk, REALLY hot mom.

Having been a paperboy i can somewhat relate to the fellow delivery men out there. I always tip at least 3dollars depending on the service and if the piza is ruined or not. If its ruined then no tip and i find a new place to order from. As for all of you who dont tip we remember. Newspaper is on your awning in front or your house, or thrown into your hedges instead of on your lawn, you now know why. Also, tip your paper boy, its rough getting up that early for the little amount of money we were paid. We depended on Tips, and those who tipped got their paper in a nice spot on their walkway or steps
