I don't oftenly opt for delivery,but frozen just isn't the same !

I got a hankering for a couple of slices of real pizza, so I ordered one delivered .

Bill is $15.05, just above the $15 minimum.

I plan to to pay the driver $17, basically a $2 tip, in the form of a $2 bill, another dollar if a reasonably attractive woman brings me my pie !

I love small bills and especially in the $2 bills, they make great tips ! the only

You are only tipping the driver $1.95 unless you give the driver a nickel

I would give $20-$22 for a $15.05 bill


How would you like to be delivering pizza?

I use to deliver fast food when I was younger. The amount of cheap skates is alot. Bill would be $19.95 and I get a twenty and he would say keep the change.

Memories of delivering:

1. seeing a pizza guy get stab for his pizza
2. a guy opening the door and was naked and totally wasted
3. girl opening the door wearing only panties (very nice looking girl too)


My son does UberEats in his spare time and I am damn proud of him.

I start at 10 bucks and then deduct by time after 45 min. You give a good tip usually you’ll get better service because they know what’s coming. 10 dollars can’t buy you shit today.

Gave him the nickel, btw !, Would have gone to $3 if a good looking chick brought me my food, had the extra buck ready, just in case !

I'm guessing average tip on a $15 delivery order is probably $2, ranging from stiff to maybe five bucks ?

What's the average addressed to those that have done it ?

Maybe the magic of a $2 bill wears a little too thin ?

Ok, $3 next time !

Depends on how long it takes. Over a hour I give him a slice of the pizza. 30 minutes or less the whole pizza.

Typically the standard for any orders under $20 is $3. That's 15% for the $20 order. If the order is over $20 the bare minimum is $5.

Most of the drivers are younger in nature or you get a small % of older drivers. They are using their own cars, which means they are paying for maintenance and upkeep of their vehicle. At the same time they aren't making a lot of money from the company, they depend on the tips to supplement their hourly wage.

I would venture the average hourly salary with tips added in would be around $11-$13. Weekends obviously are better especially during football season and Monday nights are great too. The rest of the week varies and sports on TV plays a big part.

The better the pizza, the better the price, fast friendly service usually equates into good tips. A bad experience, no specials and no matter who the driver is, they usually get no tip or change.

It's a tough job because everyone always remembers pizza delivered in 20 minutes or it's free and still expect that today. Things happen and no one wants a late delivery from the customer to the shop/driver. Things do happen so don't take it on the person delivering your pizza, call the shop and ask for the manager and they typically will compensate in some fashion if they value your business.

If you live in a tent on I-5 do you give them the mile marker for address?
