I was thinking of giving him $25 total. Too generous?

EDIT: It's Round Table Pizza, and it's about 1.5 miles from my house.

at least 26.

what food is it though, it makes a difference, and how far is your place from the place you ordered.

Well, the custom for tipping pizza guys at school and work is to pay in increments of $20 (because that's all the ATM machine gives out). Total is $17? He gets a $3 tip. Total is $21? Scrape together $1 worth of coins and he gets no tip :p

I always tip $3 for delivery. Except last new year's eve when the driver delivered the pizzas at 12:02am, then I tipped $5 cuz I felt bad that he missed the celebrations.

That was nice of you =).

I usually tip at least 2 dollars, at least. I think you should tip accordingly though. Was the food delivered in a timely manner? If yes, give him an extra buck =).

ok if the service is great and the package is not damaged or the goods inside broken. I would probably give the guy $5
