I always tip as per the service whenever I visit restaurants or when I order a parcel. I live in Newark & to avoid bad experiences I refer guide on restaurants in newark.

As a teenager I worked as Pizza Hut, and a decent driver could, during the peak hours and with proper route planning, easily do 8 deliveries an hour averaging $2-3 per delivery, making them by far the highest paid non-management in the place. Since then, of course, gas has gone up, and you have to consider wear & tear, but it was an easy $50-100 in 2-3 hours.

Yes I always if they have a tip jar or line for tip on the CC receipt.
If you don't then you are being cheap.

eh, it probably costs the the pizza dude at least 2.00 in gas to deliver the pizza, if you dont feel like tipping the driver at least $3, go pick it up yourself.
how much of the delivery fee does the drive see?
$10 minimum order isnt his fault either..it isnt like a restaurant.

I'd have to disagree. While I do occasionally tip, as far as I know, Starbucks employees are actually paid fairly well for the work. Thus, I don't necessarily always feel the need to tip them.
Same goes for Subway employees and their restaurants where a "tip cup" has been put up.
Edit: As for the OP, a $2 tip on a $10 pizza is plenty. I generally give the same amount (~20% of my order), although I include the delivery charge when calculating said 20%. It usually works out to about ~$4 or 4.50 on a $20-ish order.

$2 delivery charge is excessive for a pizza place. I think if anything you were too generous.

I sometimes deduct the delivery charge from the tip, because the delivery dude himself told me that it goes to them. Usually I'll still jack it up a little bit, so without the charge being removed, it's still not horrible, but with that added, it's maybe 30-35%.

I believe Papa Johns around here charges 1.95 per delivery.

I love people who think delivery drivers lack memory, never communicate between them, and don't have ball sweat.

Do you know if 100% of the delivery charges for Papa Johns go to the delivery guy? I was always curious about that and they are the only pizza joint I order from.
