Pizza Delivery Tip Guide
Here’s all of our pizza tipping knowledge, from recommendations and factors to consider to why you should always give your driver a decent tip.
Below is the recommended tip for the pizza delivery driver:
- 15% is the recommended tip percentage.
- 10% or below for mediocre service.
- 20%+ for amazing service.
- $100+ orders: at least 10%.
- Under $20 small orders: $3 minimum.
Common tipping etiquette for small and large orders is 15% for normal service with $3 minimum; 15%-20%+ for great service (or if you’re feeling generous); below 10% for poor service.
If a delivery charge is included, be sure to ask if it goes directly to the driver. If it doesn’t, you should tip.
Note: Unless your pizza does not show up, you should not stiff the driver. They work very hard to bring the pizza right to your door, as quickly (and as hot) as they can, and should at least receive 10%.
