How much should a tip be for pizza delivery?


As a general rule of thumb, you should tip at least 10% of your purchase cost if you can afford it. Granted a percentage based tipping policy isn't beneficial for relatively small orders (sub $20). So if your bank account can handle the hit, a standard $10 tip is surely to be appreciated by your delivery driver.


What are delivery fees and why don't they apply towards the tip?


You'll often see delivery fees applied to your bill whenever you order pizza from certain restaurants (looking at you Dominos). But what are these fees exactly and why don't they count as a tip for the delivery driver?


Delivery fees are extra charges that restaurants or third-party services add to your bill to cover their own expenses. These fees can go towards things like vehicle maintenance, insurance, or other operational costs, and they vary from place to place.


It's important to note that these fees don't go to the delivery driver. They are kept by the restaurant or service to offset their costs, which is why they don't count as a tip. If you want to tip your driver, you'll need to add that separately when paying.
