We order pizza on movie night Monday lol
I order online and pay online. When they deliver they bring the slip, DH or I tip and sign the slip usually not paying attention to what the other one leaves as a tip
So tonight I ordered 1 large pepperoni Pizza 1 medium supreme and the chicken bread stuff (Dominos) yum
Anyway I tipped 20% I always tip 20% and although it's never happened if 20% was less than $5 I would tip $5. DH was standing there and said after the guy left I usually just tip a couple of dollars. I said that barely enough to cover the gas he spent to get here. Thank goodness I usually sign. If it matters we live in the country. Dominoes is the only place that will deliver and it is a 15 to 20 min drive.
So what say you?
20%/$5 or a couple of dollars.
What does everyone else do?

20% min
$5 if it was fast and I intended to be a repeat customer.
Cash tip if I can. I dislike giving CC tips.

DH did say he would tip 20% from now on. However one more question... We often(once a month) get postcards for 1/2 off 1 large pizza. I never thought about it until now but do you too 20% on discounted total or what it would have been. I usually just do it on discounted total but when I think about the gas etc. tonight's tip was 8 bucks because we had no coupon and got drinks too I forgot about the 2 liters.

I always tip $5. My total is usually $20.
One town that I lived in there was only one pizza place that would deliver. We didn't order very often because the drivers always had a hard time finding our house; we lived on the out skirts of town. The weather was really crappy and I was tired from working two night shifts in a row. So, when the delivery person got there with the pizza I gave him $10. I was so thankful that even in the bad weather they were willing to bring it out to us.

I usually pay a $3 tip. The place is only like a mile from my house, and they are not serving me an entire meal, they are dropping off a pizza. I am already paying a delivery surcharge as well. I feel like $3 to hand me one or two pizzas is sufficient. That usually comes to about 20% of my order total anyway.

Do they already charge a delivery fee? Mine does, so I adjust tip accordingly. Which sucks, because I know there's a good chance that the driver isn't getting the fee. But I'm not paying a total of $10 for delivery that's less than 2 miles away.

DH tips a couple bucks at least on carry-out orders.  Like, orders he picks up and carries to the car himself. I'll never understand that one! He generally over-tips, I think. He's generally pretty frugal, but he likes to tip well and finds people usually remember and offer really great service the next time around. |

We have 5 pizza places in town and they all deliver. None of them take more than 5 minutes to get to my house so they usually get a $2 tip. Our order is usually around $35 if I gave him 20% that would be $7, no way am tipping a kid $7 to drive 4 blocks to my house. However if I lived out in the country like you I would tip the 20% because of the distance they had to travel. I don't order from there much but our Dominos charges a delivery fee that I believe they use to cover the cost of gas does yours do that?

My pizza place is about a mile away. My total is usually about $15. Every now and again it'll push $20. I always tip $5. I'm of the mindset that a few extra dollars when dining out or ordering pizza isn't going to break me, but it will make things a little easier on my server/driver.

We do 10%. It's not that far of a drive for the delivery driver and all they did is deliver the pizza. It was probably in a delivery route with other pizzas going near us as well.
FWIW, my husband delivered pizza in college, so yes, we understand the job and what it entails.

I've asked our delivery guy how much he gets from the "delivery fee". I think he got half of the $3. It's not his fault, and our house is not close to the pizza place.
One night in the pouring rain, our order was wrong. The delivery guy brought the right order back, and I tipped him an extra $2.
He always has such a great attitude and is very careful to get our order right. The time our order was wrong, it was written down wrong.
We hate going to Dominoes or Pizza Hut. Their employees are so frazzled and rude. Last time dh went to Pizza Hut, the delivery guy's car was parked right outside the front and was blaring very explicit rap music. Dh said something to the manager and was treated very rudely. We've never gone back. Dh did inform the regional manager, who was appalled. Our favourite pizza place, Jets, is so much better.

$2 is cheap, $5 is the way to go. You don't want to upset the pizza guy, next time he might spit in your pizza  |

Our delivery places are all about 2 miles from our house and we are very easy to find. Our usual order is around $20.00 or so. With those factors in mind, I usually tip $4.00. They have to pay for gas as well as contend with the traffic in our VERY busy area. They know us now and always bring extra sauces or sometimes a free dessert. It's awesome. |

I do get charged a delivery fee but it's not much and like you guys I figure they don't get much of it. It's just so far out here and I really like not cooking on Mondays lol. It's worth it to me. We don't eat out much and I work Fri Sat and Sundays only. The delivery guy is very nice and always polite. I would probably do $5 every time except for the distance. DH said I've always topped 2 bucks ever since collage but I told him pizza cost more now you need to tip more. He agreed. He had just never thought about it. He tips very well in restaurants and even tips the mail man and garbage man at Christmas. He is not frugal at all. I wish he was sometimes |

I couldn't tell you the last time a pizza cost us more than $10. There is no way I'm tipping 50% on a pizza delivery.
I'm also not tipping for carry out any more than I'd tip someone at McDonald's -- they're doing the same job.
