You have to order first. Then they deliver it. You pay for it. Then you eat it.:)

Hande hoche!

Apparently they are not supposed to enter apartment blocks or it might just be my voice sounds rapey.

Send the money down in the lift hoping that a pizza will be in its place when it comes back up!

If you've got a balcony see if you can hit them with an egg as they leave

I voted atari jaguar because the nearest place to me that delivers pizza is 10miles away and the fcuckers only deliver within a 6mile radius.....

Pizza delivery etiquette does not feature in my life.

I smear myself in Vaseline and climb inside the Dumbwaiter.

I check for the strategically placed pubic hair, preferably before paying.

I have to go downstairs but thats more because they can never find the place and we have no way of telling if someone is at the door.

Although I dont think we have ever gotten pizza delivered here, only other takeaways. The pizza places are all a 5 min walk at most.

My apartment is up 3 flights of stairs, the pizza delivery guy knows this and is used to me by now.Normally Id go down but have very bad back/hips and use a crutch sometimes. They are all really nice about it and Im a generous tipper anyway. If Im paying by card and have no cash on me, Ill go down the stairs.

While on the topic....
What is the etiquette for tipping drivers who work for places that charge for delivery?
Ordered from Pizza Republic there a while ago...
Small pizza €11.95 + €1.50 delivery. outrageous.
I am in me bollocks paying €15 for a small pizza, so only rounded it up by a measly €0.55.
Was I wrong?

I can't be sure that they'll declare it on a self employed income form so I take no chances and just don't tip.


For some reason the pizza guy never gets a tip, probably because the order comes in at 20 quid so no change, a Chinese with a delivery charge will come to around 9 quid so I just give the 10.

I have done the odd delivery and some people would want 10 cent back while others would tip up to a 5er.

Pizzas don't have joints? They come in slices. You can't have a 'shoulder of pizza'.

jester77

ah now, ordering pizza these days is so easy.

• Unlock Phone
• Open Food Delivery App
• Pick the restaurant I fancy tonight
• Pick food and beer
• Select which address from my profile to deliver to (it also includes which floor I live on)
• Pick payment method
• Click Order to pay and deliver
• Sit down for 15 mins before I faint from hunger
• Answer door and wait for delivery guy to make it up the stairs
• Give tip
• Eat and drink like a man possessed

If you pay 1.50 for delivery, should you tip also to the driver?

The only tip you should give the driver is across the back of the head with a shovel as he is leaving and take back the price of the pizza and any other money or valuables he has on him.

Well then recommend some that are not overpriced so, preferably one where you do not as a rule have to root through your green bin to get the "normal price". Most of the junk mail places charge ludicrous prices relative to other takeaways factoring in the price of ingredients, that's even with their bogus offers.

Being fantastically good-looking, I always met them downstairs as to conceal my exact address and avoid future stalking episodes.

Once ordered a pizza and fell asleep.
Delivery guy woke me up
“How’d you get in my house”
“Door was open”
“???........Give me the pizza!”

I think its fair enough to ask the pizza man drop the pie up to the apartment door if you live anywhere below the 120th floor.

If you live anywhere above that though its taking the piss. At least go down and meet him half way.

Or if you're feeling generous, meet him on the 40th floor. (This will be a handy excuse not to tip him).

If the lift is broken you really need to make a decision about whether you want to eat the pizza while its still hot.

Tough one that.

I reckon high storey buildings would HARDLY be a worry here in Ireland... tallest, which are very far and few between, being only 17. :pac:

Jesus, did a pizza sleep with your sister or something?

Wabbit Ears

Id always go down and meet them at the main door and I always tip. Pizza delivery drivers( I was one for a good while) remember who tips and who doesnt. Tippers do get their food faster even if its on route for them to deliver to a non-tipper.

Get him to leave the merchandise on step and take 10 paces backwards.
With your fishhook pole push the bag containing the money out onto step; then pull the goods in while announcing to him only to step forward after 10 seconds.
This ensures total anonymity for both parties during the handover.

He doesn't appear to have a problem with pizza delivery men though. Just the actual pizza. Not just a problem, a vitriolic hatred. Unless of course by pizzaman, you mean a man made out of pizza.

That might explain it.

I live in a 2nd floor apartment and in the last few months, since I moved in, only one driver has delivered to my front door. The chipper lad. I gave him a tip.

Nobody else gets a tip because they don't deliver to my door. There are exceptions of course to this rule. If the delivery is free and the driver is nice, I'll tip them. But if the driver seems rude in any way, no tip at all. I'll wait for my 20c change.

raze_them_all_

20c isn a tip!
I'll meet them at a door and tip them, I once had to answer the door in a pair of spongebob boxers and a wooly hat because my ex bet me I wouldn't. Showed her!

I know it's not. It was just an example. That I'll wait for the small change if I don't like the driver.

Bloodninja is a pizza delivery guy (virtually speaking)

Bloodninja: Wanna cyber?
DirtyKate: K, but don't tell anybody ;-)
DirtyKate: Who are you?
Bloodninja: I've got blond hair, blue eyes, I work out a lot
Bloodninja: And I have a part time job delivering for Papa John's
DirtyKate: You sound sexy.. I bet you want me in the back of your car..
Bloodninja: Maybe some other time. You should call up Papa John's and make an order
DirtyKate: Haha! OK
DirtyKate: Hello! I'd like an extra-EXTRA large pizza just dripping with sauce.
Bloodninja: Well, first they would say, "Hello, this is Papa John's, how may I help you", then they tell you the specials, and then you would make your order. So that's an X-Large. What toppings do you want?
DirtyKate: I want everything, baby!
Bloodninja: Is this a delivery?
DirtyKate: Umm...Yes
DirtyKate: So you're bringing the pizza to my house now? Cause I'm home alone... and I think I'll take a shower...
Bloodninja: Good. It will take about fifteen minutes to cook, and then I'll drive to your house.
**pause**
DirtyKate:I'm almost finished with my shower... Hurry up!
Bloodninja: You can't hurry good pizza.
Bloodninja: I'm on my way now though
**pause**
DirtyKate: So you're at my front door now.
Bloodninja: How did you know?
Bloodninja: I knock but you can't hear me cause you're in the shower. So I let myself in, and walk inside. I put the pizza down on your coffee table.
Bloodninja: Are you ready to get nasty, baby? I'm as hot as a pizza oven
DirtyKate: ooohh yeah. I step out of the shower and I'm all wet and cold. Warm me up baby
Bloodninja: So you're still in the bathroom?
DirtyKate: Yeah, I'm wrapping a towel around myself.
Bloodninja: I can no longer resist the pizza. I open the box and unzip my pants with my other hand. As I penetrate the gooey cheese, I moan in ecstacy. The mushrooms and Italian sausage are rough, but the sauce is deliciously soothing. I blow my load in seconds. As you leave the bathroom, I exit through the front door....
DirtyKate: What the ****?
DirtyKate: You perverted piece of s**t
DirtyKate: F**k

For size of pizzza, I think Mizzonis wagon meal deal is good.
