It's not common to tip pizza deliveries in this country, as most of the places that deliver are delivery only i.e. no restaurant, so people figure the cost of the delivery is built into the cost of the pizza.
My ex-housemate was an actor however, which meant delivering pizzas a lot of the time, and she introduced me to the concept of tipping. Always keen to give money away and ingratiate myself with anyone who provides food I have tipped ever since.
Has it helped?
Nope.
I get a different driver every time, I have to wait at the window from 10 minutes after ordering because my name isn't on the doorbell and my sole pleasure is the look of delight on the driver's face when I say "Keep the change."
But hey - that's good enough
