i'd say 12 too, more if you order pizza alot and want "preferred" status

i deliver pizza and $11 is enough. or just round up to whatever's easiest.

edit: and don't sit there at the door with your calculator and decide what 14% of whatever is or any of that crap. that's nonsense and i laugh at it. ha. ha ha.

$11 is perfect! Go with that.

Usually I do $2 plus whatever change rounds it up to the nearest dollar.

just a little FYI here guys. i know for fact that dominoes delivery people get more than minimum wage + they are compnesated for mileage. so if i tip < $1 I don't feel bad. however waitresses and waiters in a restaurant somehow slip through the minimum wage legislation of the United States and get paid some piddly patetic amount and rely on tips. i have no shame in tipping 20-30% (more for the college students)

trust me as a former pizza delivery dood i used to remember the addresses of the places that tipped me well. I would make their pizza better and add more toppings, etc....we also remembered who the mean people were and we would drop thier pizza on the floor or in some drastic cases spit or urinate on their food. SO TIP WELL we all REMEMBER YOU!!!!

I never tip a individual if the pizza is like a half hour late. Furthermore, if you order from Pizza Hut and they state 30 minutes and its 50minutes. Call and ask for another.

remind me to tip you!

I hardly ever tip a pizza guy, I can't even remember the last time I got a pizza delivered. I always tip in a restaurant though........

I usually tip the rest of a $5 bill, so if the pizza was 12.50 I would just give him/her $15 total, unless it is your case where I would only give $10 then I just dish out 2 extra bucks. So in your case $12 is a good number, being a former Delivery guy.

i'm not a very good tipper. My haircuts usually cost 15$, which is way overpriced imo because all u need to do is do a 0 on the sides and back and a six on top... takes a max of like 6 minutes each time... for 15$... not complaining, but I don't tip em at all, or just a dollar :) I've lost so much money lately because of buying things like a mach 3 and more hair gel that I didn't tip them again when I got my haircut today... and that's after using a coupon which brang my haircut to 5.99$... yes i'm a cheapbutt but i'm a student who gets 20$ a week for food/utilities/everything and don't really have money to actually tip people
