On the pizza guy (or girl) -- Yes, tip them... the fact is, they are bringing food to YOU. At YOUR HOUSE. If that's not worth a few extra bucks, go get it yourself.
On tipping in general... servers get taxed 10% of sales. That means if you leave your waiter a 10% tip, they didn't make any money on your table. Less than that means they just paid for the privilege of waiting on you.
Not tipping someone doesn't do anything to "fight the system." It just screws the person you didn't tip.
And let's be honest...serving and delivering SUCK. If those jobs paid minimum wage, with no tips... no one would do it.
