Pizza Delivery Tipping Guide
When tipping pizza delivery drivers, consider these factors:
- Standard Tipping: 15-20% of the total bill is customary
- Minimum Tips: Even for small orders, a minimum of $3-5 is recommended
- Distance: Tip more if the driver traveled far to reach you
- Weather: Add extra for deliveries during rain, snow, or extreme temperatures
- Difficulty: Consider adding more for complex delivery locations (apartments with stairs, office buildings, etc.)
- Order Size: Large orders may warrant a higher percentage tip
Why Tip Pizza Delivery Drivers?
Pizza delivery drivers often:
- Use their own vehicles and pay for gas out of pocket
- Receive minimal hourly wages as tips are expected to make up their income
- Face traffic, weather hazards, and navigation challenges
- Work during evenings, weekends, and holidays when you might not want to go out
- Ensure your food arrives hot and fresh
A fair tip acknowledges their service and helps ensure continued good service for future orders.
Regional Tipping Differences

- Urban Areas: Often 15-20% due to traffic, parking issues, and higher costs of living
- Suburban Areas: Typically 15%, with consideration for distance
- Rural Areas: Consider extra for longer driving distances
- College Campuses: Add extra for complex navigation and parking challenges
