For a large order such as $500 worth of pizza, you should generally tip between 10% and 15%, which amounts to $50 to $75. While the standard percentage for a single pizza is often 15–20%, tipping for large "catering-style" orders follows a slightly different logic. Because a $500 order involves significant logistical effort—packing dozens of boxes, ensuring they stay warm, and potentially multiple trips from the car to the door—a 10% tip is considered the absolute minimum for professional courtesy. If the driver helps you set up the pizzas in a specific area or has to navigate stairs and heavy traffic, moving toward the 15% mark ($75) is the more "standard" and appreciated gesture in 2026. It is important to remember that most delivery fees charged by the restaurant are not given to the driver, so the tip is their primary compensation for the extra labor involved in a bulk delivery. If the service was exceptional and the order arrived exactly on time for an event, a $100 tip (20%) would be considered extremely generous and a hallmark of a high-tier host.
