I live in one of Germany’s largest cities, and while this is high, it’s not outrageously high.
I guess to me what sticks out the most is the expected 20% surcharge for “tips” (that get collected by the bosses indirectly anyways as they just underpay their slaves enough to make up for the tips they’re getting). That’s not normal here. You tip for good service, if you pay in cash you also tip to round usually, and you tip if there’s some other outstandingly positive thing about it. I really hate how in the US it’s become so expected to tip, while also having fuck all protection for the delivery drivers, who ought to get a wage where tips are a bonus, not an expectation.
Although I will also say that since I live basically next door to a Dominos, I always pick up, which is ~25%-30% cheaper than delivery. Plus no delivery charge, but that’s based on distance I imagine.

Yeah but this guy lives in Indiana.
I live in SF and this would be a pretty good price here but that literally doesn’t matter at all. To someone in rural India this would be like a week’s wage. Also doesn’t matter.
You have to look at it in the context of its area’s cost of living.

German here as well. From the pizza place of my choice, I usually order a large pizza (36cm) and some extra pizza rolls. 22 Euros in total, delivery included. I usually tip around 10%, so rounded up 25 Euros. And that’s considered expensive where I come from. I remember it being way lower.

Yeah sounds expensive to me. Also a German. 1 Pizza delivered is around 10€ that’s it. But that wouldnt get me over the minimum delivery order though. Not a problem for me yet since I’ve never ordered a pizza only for myself

10€??? Like… same size? Is there anything wrong with it that it’s so low?
Vrtrx@lemmy.world 3 months ago
No, they are smaller. The largest size is 30cm which is enough for me though. The most expensive one with that size costs 11,50€. Another delivery place has 32cm ones. Most expensive there is 9,40€. There is nothing inherently wrong with them. They aren’t from an Italian restaurant though and aren’t the same quality you would get in a real restaurant. They still taste good and satisfy your pizza cravings though. Delivery is free too if you’re over the minimum order balance. From what I’d guess they are on the are more like those fast food pizza places like Pizza Hut or Domino’s but I’ve ordered like maybe once from them so I’m not sure.
