Hey guys, i went to the local pizzerua with my boys the other day and noticed they needed drivers. just for kicks i asked what they made and was astonished that it was like $100-120 a night on a friday saturday or sunday. That's INSANE money for driving around doing nohting. Basically what i wanted to know is if any od you have ANY experience with this at all. I figured its a good way to make money on the car, but is it a good idea to modify the car that i will be delivering in? I mean, that's like 150 miles a day i figure and my car already has 90k on it. Whaddya guys think?
Awesome, i actually did a search for pizza delivery but it came up with notching. I just wanted to know if it was a good idea to deliver with the same car i want to trick out because of all the mileage that would be on it.
krylonkoopa and himiliefrontier both deliver pizza on these forums that i know of.......
personally i would not deliver pizza with my car because that is just way too much strain on the engine IMO. I mean, driving the car all day? and what if something comes up with the car? like if something happens to it.....what then? no work?
I deliver pizza too and mt car has 137,000 miles on it. I have no problem with it. The hardest thing is letting the car idle while your giving the person their pizza. By the end a night my car doesn't idle quite as smoothly, not bad though, just not perfect. If you turn your heater on when delivering it keeps your car a lot happier, just open your sunroof. The tips are awesome.

i delivered pizza in my 200sx but i had to quit cause of the miles it put on it and how rough it was on the car cause i live in the middle of nowhere and everyone had long unpaved driveways, anyways i made like 250-300 a week only working roughly 15-18 hours a week

What do you mean a car payment eveery month? In the meantime i Do have a job, I work at shoprite, but one week i worked a total of 40 hours, even though i am a part timer and got like 240 out of it making 7 an hour, it sucks, and the taxes are a bitch but in delivery no taxes i hear.
It all the depends how much you need the money ...is true if is busy in the weekend friday to sunday you can make 150-300 but you need to know the area very well. In the long run it will be bad for you car and is worse if there a lot of traffic lights..stop and go...that's really bad for your engine. If I were you get a real job and if you want just go partime for like 4 hours in the night.
To be more cost efficient,why dont you try gettin a cheap ass motorbike or scooter and use it for pizza delivery?Its practical,fuel efficient,easy to repair and you wont get stuck in traffic with it.
1) my parents will KILL me if i get a motorcycle
2) More insurance
3) need motorcycle license
Whatever car i have now will probably be my delivery machine. just to figure, I work in a supermarket now and i worked 39 hours last week and made 233.31 (!) I know that REALLY sucks, but without taxes that was 292 that i should have made.!
Ever hear of the Honda Helix? It's a huge ass scooter. 250cc too. Yeah, that means you'll have to get a license and insurance, but it shouldn't cost much at all. They kind of remind me of that dude's red motorcycle in Akira. Look it up man, scooters are a blast.
I delivered pizza in my sentra for a while. Had it nine months put about 25k miles on not all delivery though but a good chunk of em. don't have z-rated or tires with low tread wear on them cuz you'll go through them quick. I also used my max which has 209k on it for awhile no problems with it. Now I'm going back for one night a week for some extra cash. Oh once on sat and sun I made 250 bucks, those were the only two days I worked that week.
