Pizza delivery tip, how much to give?

[Amp Elevate]

I know it's recommended to tip around 10% for all food services...But I just ordered a pizza that charges a $4 dollar delivery fee. Am I still expected to give a tip? What exactly is a delivery charge for anyways?

 

[tgifreespeech]

I agree with giving him 10 to 20 percent of the total. I disagree with the idea that you only tip 10%. For buffets, carry-out or mediocre service, yes, I'd tip 10% or less, but tell them why you're tipping less.

For good services at a nightclub, bar or sit-down, full-menu restaurant, start at 15% and go to 20% if it's exceptional service.

i don't tip the driver there is already a delivery charge automatically added to your bill

That fee probably goes to the owner, not the delivery person. There are several questions that determine the answer to your question.
1. Was it on time?
2. Was it hot and as you ordered?
3. Was the drivers attitude good?
4. Would you order from the same place again?
If the answers are yes, give a good tip. $5.00 or so. If no to one or more, cut down till it's down to $0.00

i always tip like 5 bucks....for da driver...cus my house is hard as hell to find

I always give them $5 but if it is a large order give them $10. They deliver in all types of weather, use their own car and gas. Give up the money!

That money isnt going to the driver, give him a 5'er.
