Just curious. I just ordered a pizza and am waiting for it. They want .50 for delivery (pizza hut) so is it necessary to tip the delivery guy? I usually give him a dollar. (my order is only a medium $8 pizza usually) What do other people do?

Hmm.. surcharge for delivery? Never heard that one before.. but I always tip the delivery guy, a dollar seems fair for $8 pizza.

All the time. Hell I overtip. But my pizza's always get here fast and they're still really hot. Drivers that you tip well will be more than happy to get your order to you ASAP.

It's always cheaper to pick it up than have it delivered...

Call and tell them you'll pick it up and see how much it is, then ask if it's more to be delivered.

Domino's was charging like $3 for delivery here :disgust:

Pizzahut around here has always charged an extra 0.50 for delivery ... But I always tip at least $1.00 usually $2.00 for a $10-15 pizza

All the places around here only charge for delivery if you're below a certain amount, usually like $10 or something. You should tip the guy too, the better you tip the sooner you get your pizza in the future while the non tipping guys pizza sits and cools in the backseat.

I generally tip 10% or so, but I order pizza so infrequently that I doubt it's garnering any favor with whatever delivery guy happens to come by.

personally i think it depends on how much u order delivery pizza. If ths is like once a year thing or every few months dont give that much tip or none. if u order one like every week, then i would tip just a bit extra just to give the impression that u really appricate how fast and hot the pizza was and that will make them go faster wahoo!

Yes, I tip. I don't order very frequently, but I usually tip to the next dollar and then probably another dollar. What I get at school is $13.90, I think, so I give him $15.

if i dont have enough to order pizza delivery i either pick it up or dont order.
i would be embarrased to not leave a tip.
