How much do most pizza delivery drivers make a day in tips?

I heard that pizza places only pay minimum wage to their delivery drivers so the driver has to rely on tips to cover gas, car maintenance, etc. After expenses can they earn a decent income? How much?

    depends on how many deliveries you make, AND how generous people are. but you can make a few hundred bucks in tips a day.

    Not nearly enough, I am sure, plus it is a risky business. So I guess the moral of the story here is, always tip your pizza driver! He or she probably works hard to make very little money.

    It all depends on your location. I deliver in a college town and the tips are pretty good. It’s normally $100 or more a night. It’s normally more on the weekends, biggest tips on Thursday, good on Friday, and steady on Saturday.

    No, that is why you never see the same delivery person whenever you order a pizza. No matter how many times you order it. Because they usually quit after they find out that they make so little money.

  5. Sadie C says:

    They can make anywhere from 20 dollars a day to 200 dollars a day. Depending how long they are working and how many pizzas they delivery. I know somebody who use to make a quarter tip when he delivered a pizza.

    Well, we tip according to tipping wages, 15%, for the normal. But then sometimes I get this Hateful Little Turd, And he is lucky to get a buck. So, I would say depends on your attiude.

    Whew, I don’t know where Emalope lives, but you should deliver pizza there!!!

    For the real world, an average pizza delivery driver makes between $50-$75 per day. Special days like New Years’ Eve and SuperBowl Sunday often net a lot more, but the $50-$75 range is average.
