Tips for pizza delivery?

I have a Domino's literally one mile from my apartment. It is literally on the same street as me.

I placed a delivery order for two large pizzas. What do you think the tip should be?

And to anyone who has done pizza delivery, why do companies charge such a high delivery fee? $5 in Domino's case, and it doesn't even go to the driver? So insane.

Oh and to anyone who wants to say "why didn't you just pick it up?", stfu. I don't want to leave my apt today. Life is like that sometimes.

10% is fair but Tip what you want... i think the whole thing is a gimmick. I never tip and I never do delivery.

@Jokersswild I was going to tip $3 since it's so close and only 2 items. By your math I would tip 2.5. My order was $25 (after all the fees). You never tip ever? Not even restaurants? While tipping IS an insane U.S culture thing, the workers really don't get paid much. And yeah I know that's not the consumers fault but it's reality. I worked at steak and shake for a day, once. My wage was $2.50 an hour, since they expected people to tip. I don't know what the hourly wage is for delivery drivers but I imagine it's the same.
