Have you tried after their recent revamp? I thought the same way until I tried their new crust.
I haven’t. I guess we will have to try it now.

For the price it really isn't bad!I haven’t. I guess we will have to try it now.
Honestly I think 20% tip (anywhere) is a lot. Not sure I would tip the delivery person more than 10% but I rarely tip based on %. Because honestly the COST of my food should not be determining the tip I give you.
I don't understand why tipping a delivery person should be based on the total of your purchase. It takes the same amount of time, creates the same wear & tear on the vehicle, and uses the same amount of gas to deliver $2 worth of food or $100. I base a delivery tip on the distance from the restaurant I order from and the weather conditions outside. If the roads are dicey, I always tip extra.
I don't even understand how one justifies a 20% tip for a delivery guy. I tip 20% for outstanding service in a fine dining establishment, someone who goes above and beyond to make the dining experience very pleasant. Why would I give the same % to someone who drops off a pie?
I usually give $3-4 bucks to a delivery guy and I think that is more than adequate. If it's a large order with many pizzas and sides, I will give more. But I'm not going to do % of order size.
I guess because tips at a restaurant are based on the bill not the weight of the plates, number of courses, or the weather. Lol.
I think the 20% works for smaller delivery orders. But when my husband handed over $20 to the delivery guy for one shopping bag ($100) I nearly choked. It was sushi for 4 but still fit in one bag. Honestly if I answered the door he would have gotten $10.
See I can’t compare tableside restaurant service to delivery. In a restaurant I’m getting multiple interactions with someone over a 40-60 minute time period. If my bill is higher the server is having to make multiple trips for appetizers/desserts, enter my orders, refill multiple drinks for more people and clear more plates. So I totally understand why tips are tied to food cost.
For a delivery I’m paying for a 5 minute drive and a 30 second handoff. They may also be assembling my order but that’s literally just making sure they are picking up x number of boxes.
Maybe it’s my bias from former restaurant jobs but it always seems like a server works way harder and longer for the 20% on a $35 meal than a pizza delivery driver does on a $35 order. $7 for 40 minutes of restaurant service versus 10 minute delivery service seems off. It’s another place where I kinda feel we’ve had a lot of “tip creep”.
(That said if all people really tipped based on how the dis consensus seemed I would never have left service for a corporate job! The “average” tipper isn’t likely to fess up while the minority that do tip well don’t hesitate to post so it skews what normal tipping really is in reality).

Funny how I see the dis completely opposite. Many here are married and admit to being (in my mind) terrible tippers. I wonder how these people ever got 2nd, more or less 3rd dates.
Less money spent tipping is more money for the wife. Happy wife = Happy life.
