Personal Opinions on Tipping

Many customers have shared their views on tipping for large pizza orders:

Someone commented: "60-100 that's 10% I’d be happy. But 600 in pizza is like 20-30 pizzas. That's like 3 walking trips from car to customer site. Site being house, park, etc."

Another responder pointed out: "Nothing. You just paid $600 for pizza and they’re just doing their job. They’re paid by their employer to do."

A third shared their experience: "If you are spending $24 per pizza, you’re ordering from an upscale place. I would tip at least $10. Depending on the difficulty of the delivery, inclement weather, long walk from parking spot to delivery have go up flights of stairs, etc, it should go up to $20."

Personal Delivery Experience

A personal experience was shared by someone who had a similar delivery:

"It was 32 pizzas totaling $350. I got them all in the car in one trip. The destination was less than a mile from the store, and I drove right up to the door. I had help unloading the car. The tip was $45.00. I was very happy with that tip, especially since it was an otherwise slow day and I only made an additional $30 in tips that day."

Professional Delivery Experience

From a professional perspective, a former pizza delivery driver shared their insights:

"I worked for 3 years delivering for Dominos and in those three years, I’m sure I took at least 5 orders with 25 pizzas. The order never added up to that much though ever. You should be getting a far better price for 25 pizzas. I would tell you it would be a dick move to tip any less than $50 because it will fill their car and take them multiple trips to the car from the store and their car to your door, and keep them from doing other possible deliveries. That being said, if I had money to blow like you obviously do, spending $20 per pizza, I would tip the driver $100."

These personal and professional insights provide a comprehensive view of the tipping culture for large pizza delivery orders in the United States, emphasizing that the tip should reflect both the total amount spent and the effort involved in delivering the order.
