Believe it or not, I've never had pizza delivered before so this is my first time!
I just ordered two large pizzas, the total came to $18 plus a $2 delivery fee, and we're 3-4 miles (7-min. drive max) from the restaurant. How much should I tip the person delivering the pizza? We live in a medium COL area. Thanks!

Out of curiosity, how do I know if he's super speedy? The email confirmation said that the delivery time is 30-40 minutes, so should I tip $4 if he's here in less than 30 minutes?
And thanks for your response. I had gotten $3 ready but didn't know if that's considered OK or not enough.

If they show up before estimated time or jog quickly up my drive way then I give the extra.

I'm not a pizza lover, for one thing, but I'm also extremely frugal and would rather pick it up myself than have to worry about tipping.
I only ordered it tonight because I suffered a badly sprained ankle and other injuries in a recent fall down our outside stairs and can't go anywhere now. DH was gone tonight and my boys and I were hungry, so it seemed like the easiest option would be pizza delivery. And it was in fact very easy and fast--I think this won't be the last time that I do it! :)
