I don't order pizza for delivery much anymore, and when I do order pizza, I usually specify that I'll pick it up for carryout, mainly to avoid having to tip. I remember always being confused as to how much or what percentage to tip. I think it usually always varied between 10 and 15%. I had known that 15 was the norm for waiters, and the argument was that delivery guys didn't do as much as waiters, so back off the percentage a little.
Lately I've been tipping waiters closer to 20, more out of good karma, I suppose. Based on what I've been reading here, I'll probably try to tip delivery guys a bit more, but I haven't had any food delivered to my house in months, probably years...
