If you want a real answer: the cost of a pizza is the cost of ingredients plus the cost of labor to build the pizza (and cost of facility etc). The delivery fee is to cover the cost of hiring additional laborers who only deliver pizzas; the delivery fee covers their wages. When I worked at Domino's, drivers got their standard hourly wage, a percentage of the dollar value they'd delivered during their shift (I was told this was to cover gas/vehicle maintenance), and whatever tips they collected during the shift.
Yep, if this is in the US I think they also have some crazy rule about tipped workers getting a much lower minimum wage, $2 per hour or some shit like that. I'd tip them if I could afford it.
Depends on the state; when I was delivering during covid, I made the state mw ($14/hr) plus tips, which was about $5/hr, so the money wasn't bad for a second job. Working closing shift meant I didn't actually get a lot of deliveries but washed a lot of dishes
