Walk up to the house with a smile. Make a comment about how great their garden looks, or how cute their dog is. Making eye contact, and quick short friendly conversation before telling them the total and handing over the pizza box.

• Be Presentable. It may seem unfair, but clean cut people with great personal hygiene regimes earn more tips. Yes, a shower can make you more money! For men: if you have facial hair, shave it or trim it. If you have long hair, pull it back into a pony tail. For Women: Pull long hair back, wear make-up that creates a natural look. Wear clean jeans or black pants and a nice jacket that goes with your pizza uniform. Same goes for your car. Keep it clean.

If they can hear you coming 4 houses away, the may very well assume you are a rude pizza delivery driver and stiff your tip before you even step onto the porch.

• Avoid Mistakes. Before you leave the store, always check once more to make sure your orders are correct. Catch mistakes before the pizzas leave the store. This will give you more time to make more money instead of returning back to a house because something wasn't correct.
