No, not really. I normally go to pick up my pizza anyway.

Definitely a sin; lol
however, if that's the worse sin you ever commit, you are a saint.
Delivery guys do not keep the delivery charge. That goes to the company for gas. It would be the right thing to do to tip if possible.

Yes. Those guys don't get paid that well. They need tips. Not only that, but if you don't tip they will remember. The next time they show up, your pizza might have had something gross done to it by the delivery guy. Which serves you right, if you didn't tip.

This is a good question. I can only answer from aJewish perspective of sin. In that case, yes it is. Why?
In Jewish law the fairness of many business transactions are determined by something called Minhag Hamachom, the customary way of dealing in that particular place. In the US, a Pizza man offered his service of coming over to your house knowing that the "minhag hamachom" is to tip. Denying him the payment he expects, and which everyone in the area knows he expects, is denying him what he deserves. He brought the pizza like you expected, but was not paid like he could logically expect. That's stealing.
Now, if his service was bad, or he was very late. It's my understanding that the "minhag hamachom," is to lessen the tip. That's also fair.

Defiantly not, but I wouldn't recommend it.
Drivers have memories like elephants, and they are constantly talking to each other about who stiffs.
Their revenge may include: making sure your food gets delivered last, under topping your pizza, picking the best toppings off your pizza and eating them, overcharging you on all your next orders, or making sure you don't get coupons on boxes or in the mail, saying they are closed on late orders, stopping at Subway on the way to your house, spitting on your pizza, spraying misc. cleaning products on your pizza, using toppings from prior days garbage, letting your dog out of your fenced yard on the way out, signing you up for many gay mailing lists, signing you up for many call lists, slashing your car tires, tell the cops that you're smoking weed (if you were), key up your car over a year later!, steal your mail or UPS packages, steal your shoes or cigarettes, or many other things that I've seen in the last 10 years and can't readily recall.
If you stiff, don't order from there again... drivers are probably stressed out, make less than minimum wage, don't really care about their jobs, and HATE stiffs...
If you order again and the driver seems happy to deliver to you, be a little leary.

As someone who delivers pizza, I would say yes, it's a sin. And boy, are there a lot of sinners out there!

No. This situation doesn't disobey a commandment. However, it isn't exactly a nice thing to do since he delivered the pizza to you!

Um. The flying spaghetti monster might have something to say about it. But God usually understands you're on a tight budget.

no such thing as sin, its just down right rude. He uses his car, his gas, and brings your lazy *** food. At least be respectful and buy him a gallon of gas.
