While I was working out at the gym today I was watching one of the many TV's. On one was Roy Williams. If you know who he is your one step better than me. All I know is that he is a professional athlete. Anyway for some reason he volunteered to work at Pizza Hut since he didn't realize you tip pizza delivery people. He though only waitresses and I forgot the other. Anyway it was great to hear him tell stories of delivering pizzas and getting stiffed. He was speechless he said when he gave some one their pizza and they closed the door on him. LMAO. It was funny to hear how angry he got since it happened several times. Welcome to the party pal. The good thing is that he'll always tip now.
I get asked this a lot. The average tip is $3-5. Anything less is considered cheap. Forget if you do under a dollar since that's just insulting. Over $5 and you will never be forgotten on any future orders.

I would have figured a percentage of the cost of the order (and I don't mean 10% which I find to be a lousy tip, but more like 15-20%).
Then again, I never order pizza or other food delivery. An entire pizza is way too large for just the two of us.
You know, Mike.... I never understood how people naturally assume they should give 20% to the person who carries their order from the kitchen to their table, but stiff somebody who drives their food all the way to their house. My son had great stories of driving twenty minutes into a burning L.A. canyon to deliver a hundred dollars worth of pizza to a party at a multi-million dollar home, and getting nothing more than a 'thank you' ... if that. Where are people's heads ? Wait ... don't answer that. xx Tina
Roy Williams is a Detroit Lion. When I can afford to order and get delivery, I always tip. In restaurants-probably too much. Hve a great weekend.

It actually depends on how much I order. If it's big order I tip higher. If it's a 10.00 order, I tip 2 dollars. I always order from Pizza Hut, and it doesn't matter whether I order large and tip big.. or vice versa.. they are always late with my pizza. But, I still love PH. I love their chicken wings with ranch dressing! YUMMO! lol
