I don’t order pizza that often, and nowadays, every pizza joint seems to have these online ordering deals to simplify the process. I use my debit card, and everything works great. I hate having cash on me, so this works out well.
Tonight, a guy delivered my pizza, even picked my paper up out of the driveway when he came in, and for the first time, I wondered if I should be tipping.
Now, when I go to a restaurant and sit down, I start my server out with with their 15% percent, if the service is great, average, or shitty, I adjust that 15% accordingly.
Tonight, the pizza guy had a somewhat blank like stare on his face when I grabbed my pizza and just said thanks. Should I be tipping pizza delivery dudes?
Why?
I noticed on my receipt that they charge a delivery fee, so I figured I was cool. When I got my physical receipt though, it said, “Driver gratuity not included.” It seems they expect people to tip drivers.
I don’t know, just curious to what everyone else thinks.

I always tip the delivery drivers. They have to put their own gas in their cars with their own money. They depend on tips to pay for gas plus make a little extra.
I always tip between $5-$15 depending on how far they had to drive, and how fast they got here, and how big my order is.
My average tip amount is $10.
Dude, you should always tip them, they totally depend on tips to survive.
Kats last blog post..Timber Falls (2007)
I was totally unaware that they had to pay for their own gas. Thanks for filling me in.
Not only do they pay for gas, they’re often paid significantly below minimum wage because you’re expected to tip. They also pay taxes based on what they’re expected to gross in tips. The “delivery charge” doesn’t go to the drivers, and most online ordering services give you the option to add on a tip to your card, if you don’t have any cash.
I had a friend who worked delivering pizzas for years, and my wife did it for a while, so I can say pretty definitely, yes, tipping the driver is strongly encouraged. Essentially, the pizza delivery guy is like a waitress who has to travel extra far to reach your table… but only once. And usually, they don’t get minimum wage when they’re delivering.
I’ve found that when I tip well, I tend to get better service, too. I’ll be told that it’ll be an hour and change, but I get fast service when the drivers recognize the address.
Mostly I tip them well since it’s been like that for years in my family

Of course you need to tip the driver. If you look at the delivery charge it’s usually not very much. Either that or drive yourself down to the store and pick up the pizza yourself.
You should totally be tipping pizza guys. I generally tip $2 or $3 because I’ve had friends who deliver and the money they make is generally just tips. Working as a delivery driver is a lot like being a waiter – you’re just bringing the food further.
@ Liz – Is it legal to pay them less than minimum wage? I thought that minimum wage was….well, the minimum.
@ Phillip – I suppose that is a good point.
@ KAC – I usually do go pick it up myself.
@ Morgantown Rob – I have no problem tipping them $2 or $3. However, a $10 tip like the first commenter suggested seems a bit much.
We usually give our guy $5. We ususally spend about $16 bucks on an order. He comes here so much (and we live in the boonies) that he and the hubs chat for 10 minutes. I usually have to go take the pizza away and let them gab.
Stephanies last blog post..I Stole From The Poppy.
And by the way, although this is my first comment…i wanted to say I USUALLY don’t have this much trouble spelling “usually”. Sorry.

10%-15% tip
http://money.cnn.com/pf/features/lists/tipping/
“Morgantown Rob – I have no problem tipping them $2 or $3. However, a $10 tip like the first commenter suggested seems a bit much.”
A $10 tip is ridiculous, and they don’t deserve that just for bringing you food. imagine if everybody tipped that much, they would make more than Doctors.
OMG…of course you’re supposed to tip! Tipping is an American custom and the delivery charge goes to the pizza shop. Unlike waiters, pizza guys have to buy gas, maintanance and exspensive insurance since they’re using their vehicle for work! I swear, the cheap arse, idiotic Americans who want everything for free. Also, tip a minimum of 15 percent on the pre-tax sub-total. Pizza drivers risk getting robbed, killed, traffic accidents and tickets…all to bring a hot dinner to your home, don’t be cheap and classless, tip a minimum of 15 percent! Don’t tip and see what happens! I would never piss off any food server in charge of my food! If you’re too cheap to tip and want to steal my gas, time and money, then go pick it up!!! If employers would compensate us fairly, we would not depend on tips so much. Like I stated, tipping is an American custom. Be classy, tip!
Somebody risks their life to bring you food so you can sit on your ass in the comfort of your home watching TV and drinking beer and you don’t think they deserve a tip. Wouldn’t it be nice if drivers could refuse to deliver to shitty customers the same way you rate service in the dining room?
I’m a delivery driver for Domino’s and previously delivered for Pizza Hut. Both jobs pay minimum wage and a small amount (less than a dollar) for each delivery as a small reimbursement for gas. The rest of the delivery charge stays with the company.
Pizza delivery is considered a job where part (about 50%) of your pay is from tips. That’s why some companies can pay below minimum wage (legal for tipping jobs).
Delivering pizzas takes energy and believe it or not, some brains also. We organize your order, make sure you get the extra ranch dressings you asked for, manage to not get killed by crazy drivers or robbed (or worse) and somehow find your house at midnight. Many times the driver may be the person who took your order on the phone and possibly made your pizza. He/she most likely will be the one cleaning all the pans and sweeping and mopping at the end of their shift.
You must pass criminal and driver’s licence background checks, drug tests, carry insurance, have legal auto registration and your car must pass regular safety inspections.
Without the tips, most drivers would move on to other jobs. You can imagine who might be delivering to you if that happened. Most pizza places try to hire and send clean, polite and safe people to your door.
So I make $12 – $16 per hour delivering pizza, as do most others I know. That seems a fare wage for the job required. Without tips, I’d be making $7.25, and I’d be off doing something else.
It’s common to tip approximately $3 on a regular order (1-3) items, and %15 on larger orders.
Thanks for ordering pizza (especially from Domino’s). Most of us enjoy our jobs, but we also count on your tips.
I was a manager for one of the big guys for over 20 yrs. Of course you are going to get various answers as to what they are paid. Here in Florida they get paid at least minimum
with raises every 6 months. You should however tip the driver they get no compensation for
insurance/gas/maintenance on their vehicle. The only way I would not tip is if I got poor or
rude service from the driver
I deliver pizza’s for a small regional chain in a town of 60,000.
I am paid (after taxes) $6.00/hr and also a reimbursement of 5% all my delivery totals. Say I deliver $200 worth of food that night and worked for 5hrs, I’ll be reimbursed about $9 after taxes. Now I’ve been bumped up to an hourly wage of $7.80. Above minimum wage yes, but then remember I must have my own car, carry insurance, have more occasional oil changes/checkups AND pay for my own gas. Put all that into consideration and I’m only making $5.00/hr if I’m lucky. So Pizza delivery guys really do rely on tips to get by.
You have no idea the adventure a pizza may have taken to get to you. We aren’t asking for a ton….$2-5 dollars, depending on distance. Many people forget they live all the way on the opposite side of town from where we are located and still on tip a dollar and change. This barely pays for my gas to get to you. I appreciate it, but am still making less than minimum wage without sufficient tips.
Getting a good tip can make a driver’s day. Getting a bad tip (or none at all) will put them on the gloomy side of things.
So the thing to remember is, compensate for their gas and then compensate for your gratitude in receiving a piping hot pizza delivered right to your front door.
i am a delivery driver, and although i get paid just below minimum wage, it doesn’t make up for the people who order $30-$40 worth of food and don’t tip. it’s those people that irritate me. but my transmission went out in my car within a year of me being there, and i had to pay for the whole thing. i never take road trips or anything, and i’ve maintained my car since i’ve had it, almost 3 years. but replacing my transmission put me out $2,500, and it makes me mad when no one tips. although the economy is shitty right now, i understand why people don’t want to spend too much money, but if you’re going to have it delivered, you should be prepared to tip. i pay for my own gas, insurance, everything, no help from the company. but i like the job, it’s just annoying that i go out of my way, granted it is my job, but i go to your door so you don’t have to leave, and spend my own gas money to bring it to you, so it’s expected to have at least a $2 tip, if not more. but if you have a $50 order, and you don’t tip, i keep your receipt and remember that when i get to your house, i won’t get a tip, so i take my sweet ass time, you bet i do! why have fast, speedy service to someone who doesn’t appreciate the fast and speedy service?! not worth it! :/
agreed!
I used to deliver food and after 6 months or so I had about 200-300 regulars that I remembered quite well. I will just say if I had multiple orders, the people that I know didn’t tip anyway were bumped to last. I didn’t expect a certain percentage unless the order was ridiculously huge… generally I considered $2 reasonable for most orders. However, if someone orders $60+ worth of food it is frustrating because it puts you behind = less tips from other places, so it is only proper to give a solid tip on large orders.
You jerk. It’s all dependent on the circumstances. If they have to make a 25 minute drive at minimum wage, and they’re paying $36 for pizza (two stuffed crust chicken alfredo from Pizza hut) then a ten is reasonable enough. And they won’t make as much as doctors, and even if they DID, they risk being murdered on a daily basis, walking up to strangers homes out in the boonies.
They make the risk, and if the circumstances are right, they deserve that cash.
I don’t think the driver should get tipped for delivery. Yes, it can be a dangerous job, but that’s a career choice. Do you tip the police officer when he pulls you over? The convenience-store clerk?
I tip wait-staff since they tend to me personally, like making sure my coffee is filled, my table is cleared, the order is taken correctly, etc.
If anything, we should tip the person who made the pizza (AFTER I’ve tasted it.) Not the guy who jumps out of his car (which he writes off or gets paid mileage), runs to my door for a minute and gone the next.
We’re already paying delivery fees (which is the way to companies get back what they pay) and yes, the drivers do sometimes get a small portion of that besides his wage.
So, at the risk of needing my pie inspected for DNA, I say we should STOP tipping drivers for doing nothing more than their job. Rather hard for them to offer services above that.
(Or, to be fair, tip every delivery that comes to your door. UPS and would love that!)
f
im usually one of those sit back and read kind of guys, however…
Ive been delivering pizza for nearly 5 years at a game themed name resturant.. not only do I not get paid minimum wage, but all the stores in a few counties have seriously cut back on how much they pay the drivers for delivery.. 5 years ago, we got 1.00 per delivery and there was no service/delivery charge.. now they have been charging for delivery (in my stores case its only 50 cents, but it still goes to the store regardless) and i only get 70 cents per delivery.. i never have gotten a raise and when even make inquiries, I, as well as every other driver there has gotten the same response.. no.. even though the insiders get raises over time. Food for thought.. as a delivery driver, i have to be able to do everything else in the store also… i answer phones, prep all the food that gets cooked, help make the food on the line, put and pull food out of the ovens, and deliver in my car, with my insurance, paying for my own repairs, or new/used car when it breaks down, i drive nearly 50k miles a year, sometimes more.. 2 years ago 65k miles in a year.. and only made about 17k before adding in the cost of gas (nearly 30 a day- due to gas being 4 a gallon) insurance (i pay premiums due to my insurance knows i deliver for a living), oil changes 2x a month and about 2 tires a month…
every door i go to i smile, make quick chat, even if im getting poured on, in thunderstorms or blazing hot days w/ no a/c in my car because i cant even afford to repair it. Unfortunately Im stuck at this job because i have major heart problems and cant work any thing that has heavy labor attached to it.
Looking now, where i used to get 2-4 stiffs in a day, about 10% of my deliveries were stiffs, nowadays about 40-50% are, and on top of that buisness is down.. and they rely on us drivers to pick up the slack in the store for the same pay in store, and even less in tips..
so if any of you ever get a driver with an attitude after you give em the “keep the change” clause, dont be upset with them for being angry, or if your soda is a little extra fizzy.. im going to shake it the next time i come to your door.
tipping is very important. I am a waitress at Red Lobster. I work for the tips. the check i get every week is so small that i don’t even count it as pay. they pay us only 2.13 an hour. I can say that some people don’t know how to tip which is very annoying. If you don’t have money to tip, be it a waitress or a delivery guy then you don’t have money to go out to eat or order pizza. PEOPLE, YOU MUST FACTOR IN THE TIP. HAVE COMMON SENSE
if you cant afford to tip, you cant afford to order. I drive, and all the rude no tipping jerks better hope karma doesn’t get them.
Seriously if you stiff the delivery guy. the next time you will not get a good pizza, and they will give you the shitty service, and they will grab the warmest soda in the store.. and they would tell me like :Ohh shit i got to deliver this fucker pizza, and he always stiffs, so make a shitty pizza”"” SO if u wanna good pizza and service u beter tip them!!!
To the moron above (Frank) – hopefully I will never have to deliver a pizza to you.
Do I tip the police officer whenever I got pulled over? Although I’ve only gotten 1 speeding ticket in my life, the answer is YES. A percentage of the money you pay for a ticket goes to the police officer. Also, everytime I get a paycheck, I “tip” the police officer. He gets a very small percentage of tax money that I WORK HARD FOR.
Please, if you are so arrogant and full of yourself that you think you don’t need to tip someone who DEPENDS on tips for their income – You should get off your lazy ass and get the pizza yourself.
Delivery guys make either minimum wage, or (in my case) LESS than minimum wage. Why? Because we are a tip-based service.
Please, take your head out of your ass.
Alright, you used some other jobs as examples as to why you shouldn’t tip a pizza delivery person.
Average Weekly income of a police officer: $1,222.94 (That’s $58,701 annually)
Average Weekly income of a convenience-store clerk: $625 (That’s 30,000 annually)
Average Weekly income of a pizza “maker”: $583.33 (That’s $28,000 annually)
Average Weekly income of a UPS driver: $708.33 (That’s $34,000 annually)
Average Weekly income of a Pizza Delivery Person: $197.92 (Without Tips)($9,500 annually)
Just think about that next time you want to be cheap Frank.
On top of that, for all you know, the person that “jumped out of his car” not only made your pizza, but had cleaned the place he had worked before, including the equipment that made your pizza. You don’t want to be messing with that guy, just give him a tip or he will remember you next time.
I’m a delivery driver for a sandwich place (It’s not Jimmy John’s though).
I have a bit of a unique perspective on all of this. At the place I work, we generally do VERY large orders (but only a couple a day) – and about 90% of these deliveries generally go to hospitals/doctors offices/medical buildings/places of that nature. I’d say a typical bill is usually in the range of $100.00.
I have found that people can be very generous, or very stingy and rude.
The generous people are the ones who tip about 10% on a large order. There’s one guy I deliver to in particular who’s a pharmaceutical rep. He tips 10% on EVERY order. One time I got an $18.00 tip on a $180.00 order! I make absolutely sure he gets top priority and service over my other customers!
The rude ones are generally the people that I never see. These scum of the Earth often order hundreds of dollars over the phone via credit card, and then always direct me to some kind of receptionist. Now in most cases, receptionists NEVER include a tip on a credit card signatures (I don’t think they’re allowed to, which is understandable to an extent) — but it’s really whomever ordered that turns out to be the asshole. They’re the ones hiding like cowards behind the fact that if someone else signs for it, they don’t have to throw in a tip…even on a $200.00 order!
I’m almost to the point where I’ve accepted the fact that I probably won’t get a tip on a very large order. When I do, I’m ecstatic!
Overall, I’d say it works like this:
If your order is $25.00 or less: $3.00 tip, more is appreciated though!
If your order is $25.00-$50.00: $5.00 tip
If your order exceeds $50.00: 10% of the bill, very simple
My reasoning behind the last one is this: If you can order HUNDREDS of dollars of food for all of your employees, you are in absolutely NO financial trouble at all. It’s that simple. On top of that, you wouldn’t go to a 5-star restaurant and stiff the waiter on a $200.00 order would you? $5.00 would be an insult.
Oh and this comment is for “Frank”:
We took on the jobs ourselves. Yes. However, I’m fairly certain that police officers don’t pay out of pocket for their gas expenditures. I’m about 99% sure they get reimbursed for it. Delivery drivers on the other hand pay OUT OF POCKET to deliver. It’s incredibly unfair to deny us at least a LITTLE compensation for the gas we used to deliver to you. You are stealing from us if you don’t tip. On top of that, we basically do just as much work as a waiter. Often times we make your food, prep the food, and then deliver. Both jobs are SERVICE ORIENTED. (Oh yeah, I also am expected to at least offer to set up all the food I deliver).
Frank,
Really? You don’t want to tip someone that is ALONE AND UNSUPERVISED with your food? Honestly, you think you can tell if someone crushed up bugs really really fine and sprinkled them under your cheese? Lemme level with you, most people cant. In fact there are a lot of things people commonly don’t detect that would absolutely turn your stomach.
Okay here’s a few things about tipping.
You tip according to the service received, therefore if you we’re satisfied and felt as if the driver went the extra mile and want to tip ten bucks, go right ahead. It is true, after receiving those ten dollars the driver is then encouraged to keep it up or better.
Ten dollars is just an example, you can always follow a tipping chart.
Finally why tipping is important, I happen to work at a pizza joint, and business has slowed down. There have been measures taken to avoid the risk of closing doors. Before the driver was making a decent amount of money per hour, tips, and extra miles. And now they lowered the pay rate, they have to compensate with their tip money. Keep in mind the IRS is part to blame. While now we must follow this new policy, and it is the law, let’s compare.
Waitress/bartenders make their tips plus the new pay rate. They use their body.
Delivery driver make some to no tips with new pay rate plus extra mile, with their own vehicle. (Btw extra miles are deliveries out of area and special request deliveries, which is obatined through the delivery charge, and that’s less than half of what they get, some companies pocket the rest) While delivering the pizza in their car an insured car with a specific isurance, that they filled with their gas money, and that the maintnence comes from their pocket. Oh and if they get a flat or their brakes go bad. That’s all them. And for those that might get harassed by a cop and get a ticket for anything made up or for speeding a mile more. That’s also all them, not that it should be the companies resposibility, but point is it’s a bit of a gamble to do deliveries. So tip? You decide, put yourself in their shoes. Wouldn’t you like to get a tip?
I’m a pizza delivery driver, have been doing it for 4 years. I have a book in my car of addresses. Everytime I get stiffed, I add the address to my book. It is organized well so that it only takes me about a minute to check if the food I’m using my car and my gas to deliver as a SERVICE is a no-tipping asshole. If your name is in that book, you should beware. Honestly. I’m left alone with your food, entirely unsupervised, for as long as 45 minutes. I don’t lose anything if your pizza is cold, and I certainly don’t lose anything if there’s bird shit in it. I know you’re not going to tip reguardless of the service so, frankly, what do I care if I mess with your pizza? You mess with my life, my wellfare, I can certainly mess with yours.
If you don’t feel you need to tip, then get off your lazy ass and go and get it yourself. Don’t fuck with people that handle your food.
Generally I would say no; if there is already a delivery charge, then you have paid your fair share for delivery. Whether the pizza place decides to give that to the driver or to “stiff” them is not your problem. Then again, many pizza drivers are fine, upstanding men like Keith, who will put bird shit in your pizza if you do not give them a little extra. So probably safest to tip anyway
I am a server at a local BBQ Smokehouse. I make $2.13hr. because I make tips, so they say. The expo (person who puts my plates of food together) makes 7.50hr + 2% from every servers sales (NOT TIPS, SALES!) at the end of his shift. When I ask why I don’t make 7.50hr. they say “because you make tips”. How contradicting is that? So I want to start a ServerStrike, But I can’t do it alone. I’ve asked around to other servers and found that they would take 3 days straight off of work as long as they weren’t Fri or Sat. So I’m trying to get some feedback from other servers to get a good idea of whether it would be worth my time to put this together. My idea is to have every server in Virginia and anywhere else but I live in Virginia to take a Tue, Wed, and Thu. off all in a row. It’s time we make the restaurants pay us MORE! Let me know if you agree! I’m willing to go as far as advertising for these specific days. They can’t fire us all, they NEED us. You could get fired if you are the only one at your restaurant who participates so it’s every servers job to make sure their fellow servers participate. Give me feedback at ServerStrike@live.com Hope to hear from you all.
Hey ServerStrike-
Do your wages PLUS tips come out to more than $7.50 an hour + 2% commision?
If yes, you have nothing to complain about.
If no, quit and become an expo.
Number one, I’m not the only one who feels like this. Number two my wages weekly = more than minimum wage but not close to the expo weekly salary, NOT daily though as days pay varies. Number three, I have to do side work at the end of the night (cleaning, folding silverware, refilling stuff, etc.) for $2.13 per hr. I’m not just speaking for me, I could care less, this is not my career goal perhaps it is my obstacle and a means for me to make quick money for right now. I am a graphic artist so I am just speaking out for the people. If you are not a server than you don’t know how it is. Why did you even bother to waste your time responding? Maybe you own or manage I restaurant, who knows. So if that’s the case, then I can see why you wouldn’t see from my point of view. Some restaurants make their servers tip out expo, hostess, cook, bartender, plus credit card charges to the restaurant. Do you make $23.00 per hour like my manager does, to just walk around a restaurant all night and do paperwork? then maybe you should quit and become a manager at a restaurant lol. Get real. Anyway, thank you for your input.
I am a pizza delivery driver and I know how you feel about getting stiffed, I have people give me exact change for an order and one time I had a chat with a marine i delivered to and let him know we only get $1.00 for the 1st order, 40 cents for the 2nd and 20 cents for the 3rd. We pay for our own gas the mileage reimbursement is a joke and every sat and sunday i put 125-145 miles on my cars A DAY on weekends( he gave me a $20 tip for gas)
. To only get between $9-50 in tips (by the end of the day). I get paid $7.25/h but i get paid bi-weekly and my paychecks are anywhere from $200-$330. That doesn’t cover all of my bills or my car insurance I am glad I am married. Working from Dec 29th until yesterday Feb 3rd I put 1,023 miles on my car from this job. T.T
Pizza delivery guys get stiffed all the time, and companies screw them over. They have to pay for their own gas, and wear and tear on their cars. Plus car insurance/car payments. Other companies have company cars/trucks for deliveries, why cant pizza places?
Pizza delivery is about the worse job you can get get for mininmum wage, you really get screwed!
And customers think you dont need a tip, without tips youd be making a few bucks an hr maybe after gas/car repairs.
Bucky, tip them please! My coworker also delivers on the side evenings to pay for extras/ toys/ kid’s college, and he just got robbed at gunpoint & could have easily died. This is not the hardest job by any means, but they can face a lot of danger for your convenience. If you tip a waiter/ waitress, you should tip the pizza guy/ gal. I go with 15%/ minimum $3 in the US.
I deliver to all kinds of people, some tip and some dont- and the ones that dont, get a delivery with attitude, smart remarks and sometimes a ” shaken” soda bottle- we have very little ammo to say anything to these people, who dont tip- I just wish some of them would do the job in snow storms, cold temps and pouring down rain, and see how they feel when I dont tip them.
1. Refusing to tip is not stealing. There is no legal obligation to tip. For payment to the driver to be mandatory such payment must be included in the price that’s quoted to the customer.
2. People who tamper with food as a form of revenge should be barred for life from ever working in the food service industry. The fact that you would do such a thing makes me feel no sympathy for you at all. If you’re the sort of person who ever tampers with people’s food, you don’t deserve even a penny in tips.
Refusing to tip is being a jerk, You try making a living off of this job “tipper” and see how it is for us.
And there is a constant danger of being robbed or personally hurt ( I’m a woman delivery driver) or your car trying to get stolen. It is listed as a hazardous job and most insurance companies wont cover delivery drivers OR charge them out the butt because they are a high risk.
A women I used to work with got robbed and the guy tried to hurt her she beat the crap out of him (self defense) My pizza company fired her, they said she was a liability. Also if your car is stolen or you are personally hurt the delivery company you work for is NOT LIABLE. So its all on you.
Yes, you should absolutely tip the delivery guy. I was confused about the “delivery charge” as well, but it is actually just a fee your pay for the box the pizza comes in, and maybe for the delivery guy’s gas. They usually do not see a cut out of the “delivery charge.”
That being said, I will never tip a delivery guy who is ridiculously late or rude.
I work at a pizza place, I dont deliver the pizzas but the friends I work with do. The delivery drivers get paid less than minimum wage when they are clocked out on a run and when they get back they get paid minimum wage or above. The drivers live on thier tips because they have to pay for thier own gas. At the pizza place I work in we charge a $1.75 delivery fee this is to help cover the driver under the companies insurance in case they get in a wreck. On average the drivers get 4 dollars for each delivery they take.
If you’ve read this far, you are probably a waitress, delivery driver, or you just want to know everything about the facts of tipping and delivering pizza.
I am a pizza delivery driver. Been one for many years. I run an entire website devoted to telling the truth about pizza delivery and backing it up with 100’s of newspaper articles.
Pizza delivery is a tipped job. Tips are EXPECTED, just as they are expected when you dine in at a restaurant. The whole pay scheme is built around that. If YOU don’t like it. go and pick it up yourself. No tip is EXPECTED for carryout. That’s how it works.
“If you tipped last time, your pizza is on its way!
If you didn’t, I’m going to the other guy’s house first!”
