1.00 If they forget the cheese and peppers


3.00 if they have it :thumbsup

I tip the pizza guy around 20% so our usual order is just below $30 and I give them $6.

On holidays I go higher, at least $10.

My pizza almost always gets here in about 20 minutes, is steaming hot and has extra pepperinis.

If there are any issues with the pizza I take it up with the manager over the phone, not the driver. That has only happened once or twice in the 11 years I've lved here.




.

5 to 10 bucks depending

Papa John's?

The pepperinis gave it away ?


.

LOL - hahahahaha - i´ve just watched the "Melcolm in the Middle" episode with the Luigi`s pizza fiasko and now i see this thread - LOL

I always tip now that I learned a lot use their own car.

another question is why does this topic come up every 4-6 months?

1-2 euro, its ok here on order upto 10 euro...

You don't send it back if they forget the cheese? A pizza is not a pizza without cheese.

this thread needs pics

sounds like your already black listed sowhy bother tipping

at least a fiver ...

I deliver pizza now, not that I need the job anymore but its fun when you're bored.. I get tipped more than everyone since I know everyone in the area since before delivering and I take 20 mins average so it all depends. Plus my good friends that tip big and pack up a bong are the best (I make about $150 in tips per night + $8/hr)

Ordered at 6:20 online, got here at 6:45 or so.

Papa Johns > *

Fuck, now I'm hungry.

you are joking the delivery driver here get $28 per hour.

owww i miss papa john's so much the pizza there is just amazing. and when you get the jalapeño in the box it ads to the perfection.

This thread inspired me to order pizza.
For delivery, I like Dominos. Their new Feta spinach cheese bread is good.

Bacon, ham and pineapple please!


The tip, usually $5. The guy that always delivers to me is pretty quick. Younger kid and just bought a brand new car.

Some people argue with me that Pizzahuts thin crust pizza with grease puddles all over it is better than Papa Johns, it's really hard being their friend.

I haven't had a good pizza in over 20 years. Pizza Hut, Dominoes, Papa John's and every other fast food pizza joint is utterly disgusting.

I always end up with a 1/2 inch of uncooked dough underneath my toppings even though I tell them I want it "extra well done". What happened to the regular crust that was crisp underneath, cooked thoroughly and didn't flop over.

And what's up with this cheese that doesn't even stretch. Remember when you could sit down in a pizza hut and when you took a slice the cheese was all gooey and hot and melted? Now it's like a layer of mold that just holds the toppings together.

Does real pizza not exist anymore?

With any national chain you're going to get mostly generic stuff meant to vaguely appeal to everyone and not offend anyone.
You have to find a good, local specialty pizza place.

i hope you don't have dinner with her. may have some extra sauce on that pizza :Oh crap :helpme :1orglaugh

QFT. Althought Papa Johns is still my favorite, there are a select few restaurants that have some great tasting pizza that you absolutely will not find at any "pizza place".

So Papa Johns now has the $2 delivery fee that isn't going to the driver.

How is the driver paid though... Decent hourly wage and mileage?

I always try to tip $5 for a delivery but if there is a fee I subtract from that. I give the papa johns driver $3.

I never know if it is enough. Any insight?

Yea $5 is what I give them... and Dominoes charges $2.25 for delivery. I only know because I got a couple free ones after sending feedback about the raw and cold pizza I got from them.

This was a while back but when I delivered pizzas in college about 5 years ago they paid X amount per delivery, about $1 and minimum wage plus tips. Yeah, you wind up making about $25 per hour but you're also tearing the shit out of your car and you're almost certain to get beat up and robbed at least once if you're lucky.

30,000+ deliveries 6 1/2 years nightshift with Dominos in the 90s.

$5 today would be a very good tip. $3 a decent tip.

Back then $2 was a decent tip. $1 was ave (at best).

Worst tippers: College kids (espec guys) and overtly religious people with their porches and windows decked out with pictures of The Lord.

Best tippers: Gays all the way around and guys staying at hotels/motels. Espec if the guy is alone is often even better. I guess they related.

Never got mugged. Did have a scrap or two. Falls were actually a way bigger concern. Had a few (2-3) bad falls and many light falls.

In the beginning I "hustled" which was disaster waiting to happen. In the end I was the slowest but never made mistakes which managers love.

I work for a big chain and I make $8/hr plus $1.15 per delivery from the delivery fee and tips are average around $3, $5-25 for bigger orders, which is great and I'm averaging around $20-30/hr all together with about 30-35 deliveries a night.

My friends at Papa Johns don't like us since we make a lot more than them, though...

Falls happen and the worst happened when I assumed in twilight that the cement in a dorm parking lot was level when in fact it dropped about 1 foot for a slight ramp.

If you are running and dont realize there is a 1 foot drop, you are gonna f' your knee up almost for sure.

It is the drops that get you not the stuff you trip over altho that can happen too but then you can roll. lol Sometimes a pie got jumbled and returned. :) Shouts to all the old or new drivers :thumbsup

10 hour shifts and 4th floors with no elevators (lots of them) kept me a constant 250-255 at 6'3 even tho I lived on "crew pies". And Dominos is one of the most fattening espec if you eat the crust at all.

I wasnt MMA condition :) but noone f'd with me for the most part. But of course I kissed ass and yet it still happens.

Tho 6-3 at 255 I was still a lil chubby and guys would cock off from time to time. Get the money and get out of there was the creedo. :)

That sucks. I've only had one fall when delivering one pie by slipping on some ice hard and I flung the bag pretty high and it landed perfectly flat. So I delivered it anyways and it was a group of gay guys and one of them opened the box (Somehow it survived) and he said "This smells delicious!" and tipped me $8.

i m in village and no pizza delivers pizza here., sucks.,

Do they still allow you to throw a couple slices of a crew pie on top of the hot bag and head out the door.

Best part of the job. Cook burns a pizza, usually send it anyhow hehe but sometimes crew pie!

I come back from the "longest run" :) (I pleade the 5th on the grounds that it may incrim.. :) drivers hear me tho) and crew pie!

Fun job all in all. Got to be a driver tho. Inside sucks.

Usually the pizzas stay together. Every driver will admit we have had to look at a few and maybe shufle one in place. I had it all happen tho and sometime they were just goulash :)

There ya go. Usually you cant really tell they are gay for sure but you have a sense maybe and yeah they tend to tip at least something.

I had a College in my area so that slowed tips down but then again kept us going on slow nights.

As I posted before i still dream of delivering from time to time. But I always f something up royally like being gone 2 hours or something lol :)

Pizza guy nightmares I guess. :) But I really just want to deliver a few pies again. Great job.

I was always the slowest guy in the place even when the manager at the beginning was making me "hustle" out to the car lol. I eventually put my foot down on that. No hustling. Just error free ball. :) F'n some of these guys are terrors tho both inside and out of the car. They run em all and speed like a mutha.

I avd $10 an hour in 1995. $4.90/hour plus 6% commission on $$$ delivered plus keep all tips. Id deliver $400 on a good 10 hour night. Others would go $600-700. But I never made mistakes. :)

To the manager it was a tradeoff. You also have to take orders correctly always. :) In the end they loved me even tho I was slow. I knew the area like the back of my hand.

Blasphemy!

If you did make it out this way there are at least a dozen cheap and awesome places to order pizza from in manhattan and brooklyn that are worthy of an afternoon.

That is sad. Whoever has had this argument should experience real pizza at least once. Be it NY or... ::shudder:: chicago style.

And lets not forget rushes. (no not the kind you got while on the longest run :stoned )

You arrive back after your first run at 5:20 pm. Manager has about 9 pizzas in 4 hot bags.

In the car now with a stack in the front seat, you (the rookie :) ) have to shuffle them and do the run. This is the hardest part.

Once you got that down.. of course we ARE Dominos and we mean 30 mins or less. :) So when you got that down, piece of cake. Dont have that down.. nightmare. :) Call, call. No cell phones then. Find a pay phone. :)

So the first year was kind of a pain.

Was any/all of this during one of your drag phases? I couldn't even imagine cement like you describe in heals.

They stopped doing the 30 min or less a very long time ago when a driver killed someone.
