What would you pay?
Right now, at the pizza shop I work at, the delivery charge is $2.50. It has been at $2.50 since just after Hurricane Katrina--September 2005. At the time, gas rose to $3.19. Since then, gas has dropped down as low as $1.95, and is currently $3.87.
We might have the highest delivery charge of any place I know...most places charge from $1 to $2. What's a fair cost for delivering food to you? |

Pizza delivery is free here.
I don't doubt the cost is built into the prices. A pizza for two costs over $22 with no sides...

Our pizza prices have gone up twice in the past year...normally, they're only raised once--in July.
Our 16" cheese pizza is $12.99; each additional topping is $2.50. The 14" and 16" pizzas are buy one get one free. If you order just one, it's pro-rated. A two-topping 16" pizza is $10.99. |

Our largest pizza is 13.5"
Basic cheese is £9.99 inc delivery (just under $20) Each topping £1.25 ($3) That's the most expensive pizza company (Dominos) They do deals sometimes, but usually collection only. There are some local generic ones which are cheaper, but lower quality. Sigh.

Do delivery places charge for delivery? I never noticed.
I get my pizza take-out from a little place around the corner called Charlie's. There's a picture of a guy on the sign, and when you walk in, that's the guy making your pizza, and his name is Charlie. And you're like "Hey, Charlie" and he's like "Hey, [your name]" because he knows who you are.

Last order I made was two medium pies, one mushroom and one white with garlic, and mozzarella sticks. $36. Actually paid $45, through my policy of *vastly* overtipping pizza delivery people. ("Let's see, that's about $40... 20% would be $8... but I don't have any ones, so keep it")
There is no addl delivery charge around here |

Yeah, I tip what I would regularly tip someone who brings me food, and then I about double it to account for car maintenance costs.

When Quizno's and the local Chinese place will both deliver much cheaper food, faster, for free? Fuck pizza.

No additional delivery charge around here either. But most local joints don't deliver. Just the national chains.

Glatt, Mario's delivers...OMG! I totally fucking forgot about Mario's! I totally need to eat there when we're out there in 2 weeks.
The places Rhoda and I used to order from in the Far NE and Germantown generally charged $1 or $1.50 for delivery. When I lived in DC, it was like $1. I dunno. I make $2.25 a delivery plus tips...it works out to like $9 an hour before tips; $19 after tips. It's not a bad gig by any means. And tips actually haven't been bad lately...but I'm starting to wonder if lowering the delivery charge would actually boost business and tips. |
