How much do you tip a pizza delivery guy?

Go roughly in ranges. a) Should never be less than $3, b) Anything between a $20 and $50 is usually about $5, c) $50 and up, usually go about 10%. Some people barely tip and others think pizza guys should be tipped just like waiters (15-20%).

If they trudge through rain, sleet, snow or other less than ideal conditions (late hours or at the very edge of their delivery area) tip much more then if they didn't. Don't forget that most pizza operations that charge a delivery fee, do not give this to the drivers.

I've been a pizza delivery driver on and off for about 10 years now. As far as tips go, I'd say it has to do with a couple factors.

1: How far away is the delivery?
2: How much am I delivering?

The price of gas is outrageous compared to 10 years ago, when $2 was a completely acceptable tip. I normally tip $5-7, and live within .6 miles of the places I order from. This could be due to an understanding of the job, though.

That said, if I'm delivering 10-20 pizzas to one destination, I normally look for 10-15% of the bill as a "Good" tip.

Keep in mind, you're tipping the person for wear and tear on their vehicle (tires, brakes, oil changes, fuel, filters, hoses, vehicle depreciation) as well as the convenience.

That said, if your delivery driver is a jerk, it's perfectly acceptable to withhold on a tip!
