    Don't be lazy and ask them to ring when outside.

    Avoids confusion.

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

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

    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.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,113 ✭✭✭shruikan2553


    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'.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,264 ✭✭✭✭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?:confused:

    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.
