What is the usual tip to leave for a Pizza Guy?

Say....... 2 Large?

If you have more combinations that vary per order by all means let us know.

I usually just give a buck or two and let them keep the change (as in coins change).

Are pizza guys paid like waitresses where they are expected to get tips? I hate that damned law. As a waitress you only make $2.50 an hour and nothing more if you don't get any tips.

Having been a pizza driver for a few years, I would say 2 or 3 dollars is standard. Depending on the size of the order. One thing I could not stand for, was when people would have an order that would come to $19.92 and they would give me a wad of money and say keep the change...only to find out that when counted, it comes to $20.00 even! Wow, that used to get me! Not only is it insulting to the driver who brought you your food, It's poor class. This person is serving you food, just like a waiter...drivers ALWAYS remember the crappy tippers. So if you give a crappy tip, next time your pizza miht be 20 minutes late! On the other hand, good tippers will usually get better service. You've got to give a little to get a little as they say. If your into making people happy, give out a five dollar bill here and there...that makes drivers happy.

I usually do two bucks. If I'm paying in cash it might be slightly more or slightly less. Eitherway, I live in a college town. I'm probably one of the better tippers.

I usually try to do $2 bucks. Sometimes I unfortunately don't have the money to tip, which makes me feel bad. So then next time I get that driver I give him $5

I didn't have any money to tip a guy that brought us 2 large pizzas a few weeks ago. I was watching my brothers kids and they left me 20 bucks, so he ended up making 8 or so cents. Felt like a jerk for like 5 minutes until it was pizza eating time.

Wow...you guys are all tightwads.

Personally, I give the pizza guy the same percentage as if I was in a real resturant. Who knows the hell they went through to drive your food to your doorstep? Typically, I just give them an even amount of cash. So if the bill came to $14, I'd just give the guy a $20.

One time, I ordered a pizza in Washington. Since I knew how terrible the traffic situation is there (I refuse to ever go back there again), I gave the guy a $10 tip. They deserve it.

I agree on giving a hot chick some extra

But for a regular delivery guy, $3-5 is usually good.

Coming from an ex pizza pilot I totally agree with GuttersnipeXL. Pizza pilots have the best stories from interupting couples haveing sex to a bunch of drunk dickheads trying to mug you. There was this one guy in my area who everyweek he would order pizza. If I was unfortunate enough to deliver it he would ask if he could give me a head job (I am not gay). When I woulds say no he would give me a $5 tip. I feel so ambivalent.

I used to deliever for little Caesars... I hated when people didn't tip. We have to use our own cars, we don't get paid for gass, and we don't get paid for ware and tair.

There was a $2 delievery fee which was ok but after you hit customers who are regulars they normaly tipped me like 3$ to 4 bucks. My favorit was this guy who works in the navy he tipped 10$ and there were a few people like that, kinda makes it worth it.

But I would say at least 2 bucks at the very least, its only curtousy since most delievery drivers use thier own cars.

15% just like anywhere else. I don't know that they make waiter wages, but the job must be awful. I personally hate commuting -- driving to be somewhere on time. I can't imagine having to rush around for 8 hours, to be stiffed by ingrates every 20 minutes who think they are special somehow and should've gotten their pie before everyone else.

I'd probably seek revenge for cheapskates, come to think of it.

tipping isn´t a big thing here.
its not a cultural thing like it seems to be over in the states.
so no, he doesn´t get a tip.

i´ll tip a good bar attendant, waiter or cabbie, but thats about it.

a buck and the coin change. people do give me a tip for doing my job, my empoyer pay me. so why should i pay them directly, there wages is built into the price of the pizza. if it pays that badly then they should get a different job.

A couple of bucks depending the order size and how long it took to get there. Also I would kick a little extra if its pouring outside or snowing.

I deliver food a couple of times a week. I expect at least 10% but will consider you semi cheap if thats all you give.
Like mentioned before...I use my own car and I don't get gas money from the deli.
The worst is those bastards that live just on the edge of town and order small orders and leave like a $1 tip if that. Where I work, whichever driver is there first gets the next order...so if I'm sent to bumfuck, I am fucked on a couple of deliveries.
Delivery is free, true. But if I know you are a bad tipper, or just a dick, I take my sweet time. I do give you the benefit of the doubt the first 2 or 3 times, but after that...I'll drive around for a bit talking on the phone, or since my parents live near the deli, I stop by and see whats up with them.
If you aren't gonna at least give me the $.36 per mile that the government give to people they send on travel, than I will make sure your food gets cold.

I usually pick it up myself, so I expect a bj when I get home, of course I get the cold shoulder more than not. If I had them delivered, at least 20%, or 3 bucks. Sometimes when I pick it up, I'll buy coke, and give it back to the counter guy and tell him share with the others, they're thirsty too!

Meh, if they get there earlier then the time they said on the phone I'll give them 2-5 bucks depending on what I have, but if not, no tip. Only other way I'll give a tip is if they say something funny, or are cheerfull/polite etc., then I might fork over extra.

I just don't feel I should be paying more then what I'm told on the phone, especially since I usually can only just afford that.

None. Never even thought about it. Everywhere I've ordered a pizza nobody has ever tipped the pizza guy. So, like I said before, none. Don't think I'll start now either.
