How much should you tip someone for delivering a pizza? Two dollars? Three dollars plus the leftover change?
Do larger orders deserve a significantly larger tip? Should you tip more in bad weather?
Here's a big one: If there is a delivery charge, should you tip less, or tip anything at all?
My take on that one is to tip just the same, and just grumble silently when you discover that their well-advertised price did not include the delivery charge (yes, I'm talking to you, Pizza Hut).
As for any other questions you might have, look no further than tipthepizzaguy.com
I could not find a name attached to the site. There's a lot to read and there are a lot of fair points about how much one should tip, plus plenty of esoteric advice, such as how to display house numbers correctly. Some of the points come off as snarky, but pizza delivery is a dangerous job, unfortunately, so give the author some leeway.
UPDATE: Terri Sanginiti reports on just how bad conditions have become for pizza delivery workers. http://www.delawareonline.com/article/20090108/NEWS01/901080348

My New Year Resolution is Stop Eating Out, and cook 5 days a week. I keep 1 day for left over’s, and 1 day for Pizza. $2.00 delivery tip is within my budget.
I've got a tip for you bud. Write something worthwhile
