I got linked to this and liked the sentiment expressed. I hope you will too.

I don't ever buy delivery pizza but I honor the "Be Cool To The Pizza Dude" code.

I also try to remember that where I live, the Pizza Dude probably has a ccw.

All I ask is that the pizza guy behaves in a professional manner. I don't go to a lot of resturants or order a lot of pizzas but when I do I tip VERY well if they deserve it.

[toddlintown]

...and don't forget to tip him.

If I have one operating philosophy about life it is this: "Be cool to the pizza delivery dude; it's good luck."

Isn't that what the rabbit's foot is for?

[Jaysun]

I guess I can fit this in somewhere. My codes have always been:

1. I don't trust anyone whose head is too small for their body.

2. I don't do autographs (just in case I'm ever asked).

3. If someone says, "Go look in the sink" - don't.

4. I CAN judge a book by its cover.

I used to see some truly weird sh*t during my pizza-delivering nights in the environs of Washington, PA.

Several comments I would like to make.

"It's not delivery, it's DiGiornio!"

I thought the point of being nice to the pizza dude and tipping him well was so that he won't spit on my pizza. It's a general rule that applies to waiters, waitress, busboys, or anyone in the food service industry. I'd hate to find a lopped off finger in my food.

OK, agreed...be cool to the pizza dude...but what about the Chinese dude that brings the Moo Goo Gai Pan, egg rolls and Shrimp Fly Lice?

[freebilly]

I was a pizza dude in a Datsun B210. All the maniacal driving blew the head gasket and warped the head on one of the coolest uncool cars I ever had.

I delivered pizza to the funkiest motels on Santa Rosa Ave where there was always some cranked out tattooed guy stripped to the waist who answered the door while his "girlfriend" sat up in the bed behind him with the sheets pulled up around her breasts.

The cranksters and the Chinese families, and the Mexicans, and the poor as dirt families with 2 kids in diapers and the broken down cars parked on the lawns were always the best tippers. The worst tippers were the people who lived up Fountaingrove or in Bennett Valley. Single guys partying with a bunch of other single guys tipped lousy too. I could almost guarantee that the bigger the square footage of a house or the more single drunk guys watching basketball or boxing in the livingroom the worse the tip....
