well if youre drunk and you pay on a credit card online, you can usually tip him whatevr he tells you cause you ask

or you hand your gf $30 for a 5.99 pizza and she doesnt know theres a 20 wrapped in there. opps

i nromally give him the change unless it is over a couple bucks....i do have a funny sotry though...

so..a friend an i were ordering some dominos one night...ordered a couple pizzas...and some garlic sauce ($2) so..after about an hour and half..the asshole finally shows up...we get our pizzas...give him a dallor or two..and send him on his way

well..about 5 minslater...we notice...no friggin garlic asuce...we call the place back up and demand our sauce...so..pizza boy drives all the way back, gets the little cup of sauce..and brings it back. i open the door and he is like ">( here is your sauce" and kind of throws it at me. i'm like "i asked for marinara sauce! not garlic dammit!" ...he looks at me with a face redder than a tomato....i just laugh and slam the door in his face :p i'm an asshole, i know...i just HATE prick deliver ppl...i tiped this one dood 10 bucks..so maybe it makes for my evil deed :p

Do pizza guys get paid only on tips or also something from the pizza place.

I seen some of the delivery guys at the local pizza place and they drive their own cars and when they pick up a pizza from the pizza place they pay the pizza place the amount of the pizza up front and then go deliver it.

Usually 2 bucks and any other left over change from the next dollar. For example, if it was $17.45, i would give him $20.

15%, then round up to the nearest whole dollar

IF there is a delivery charge... maybe a buck. If there isn't a delivery charge then 1 buck for sure, and maybe 2.

EDIT Just depends on many factors as I have over tipped by alot before, and if they piss me off, they lucky if I pay for the pizza at all.
