I posted this question on a local (Jax) message board and only got one reply. They said for 1 or 2 pizzas you should tip $5 to $6 dollars.
I was flabbergasted. Is that for real?

20$ pizza gets 3-4$ tip from me
But I almost never get delivery, as I find the best pizza places don't even have delivery - so I pick it up.

25-30% tip for me.
I've worked in the food service industry. I have family that work in it. That extra $1-4 means more in a delivery driver's pocket than mine.
Having been a delivery guy in the past, I always appreciated getting at least 20%

Just do $5 across the board for food delivery - you really going to miss $5?
I mean as a minimum, if you order $100 of food or something, tip more obviously.

I worked as a delivery driver for Jimmy John’s when I was younger. Not sure how pizza delivery works, but at JJ’s I was paid $3.50 an hour and had to pay for my own gas. Basically, without tips you make nothing as a delivery driver.
With that said, I’m giving 25-30% for pizza delivery on the rare occasions I get it delivery, my wife doesn’t like deliveries to our house because we have small kids and she’s paranoid. When I am out of town on business and order a pizza to the hotel I go 25-30%, though.
What would you say.....ya do here?
We’ve discussed this in another thread.
The key is if if there is a delivery fee. If there is, that usually means the driver is getting more than minimum wage. If not, then they likely are only getting that.
If there isn’t, I always start with a $5 tip and go up from there, depending on the details. If there is, I start at $2 and go up from there.

Anyone who has ever worked for tips tends to tip more.
Delivery guys in Miami are often riding bicycles, frequently in the rain in the summertime.
25 - 30% unless they are egregiously late or there's something wrong with the order.

I usually tip at least $5 for a delivery pizza. I drove for Dominos back in the day when it was 30 minutes or get it free. I know how much they bust their ass. I can spare the bucks. I usually tip like a drunken sailor as long as the service isn’t awful.

That isnt universally true at all. I delivered while I was in college and again a few years ago when we bought a new house and needed a 2nd job to make some extra scratch to help with a few home improvement projects I wanted to do. The delivery fee there did not go to the driver. Some places it does, to ensure the driver gets a very basic minimum to cover a bit of the gas they burn delivering what is otherwise essentially a free delivery if they arent otherwise tipped.
$3-4 is a rock solid tip for a couple of pizzas folks. $5 and you're awesome. If youre ordering a big order ie a pizza party for kids, school function or what not....a general 20% tip is then appropriate. But for the family ordering 2 pizzas and breadsticks or whatever....$3-4 is rock solid and $5 is much appreciated.

This past Saturday I gave the delivery $5 for a medium pizza. I can spare the $5 and thought it was worth it not have to out into northern Virginia traffic and pick it up.

If you can afford it, you should tip those guys/gals generously if they successfully deliver your order more or less on time (the $5 minimum suggestion makes sense to me). We live in a society here people!
I use Uber Eats and GrubHub a lot and I’m never sure how to handle it with the delivery fees, so this thread has been helpful.
