I've delivered for 3 places and I got the delivery fee at all of them. That being said, if you're far enough from the restaurant to have to order, chances are a large majority of the delivery fee is going to gas.
Usually places give you $15 for showing up, $2 per delivery + tips. Without tips, most $80-$90 nights would be $35-$40 nights.
I personally don't get too bent out of shape over not getting tipped because driving is a second source of income. But the system is designed assuming that drivers will be tipped, otherwise the delivery fee would go up. The delivery fee is just insurance from people who don't tip.
From my personal experience, the only people who haven't tipped me were:
-White Trash
-******ed (literally)
-Little Kids (probably sent to the door by there cheap +@! parents)
-Scottie Pippen (no-tippin'-Pippen stories are all factual)

Word. Not tipping=no class.
The only exception would be older folks (who usually tip anyway). Can't ever be mad at older folks.

Drivers now get min wage
the delivery charge is also given to the driver i think
even though i hate tipping i still do it. Its not a fair system to the costumers but when it comes to the people delivering the pizza a few dollars doesnt hurt. they used their personal car and have to pay for gas worry about accidents. If your pessimistic you can say "well its their fault for taking the job", but in this society you take what you can get.
Sidenote: I considered it lazy to not go and do things yourself unless you have a good excuse. So tippings not usually a big issue for me, but i still think the corporation should do it.
if i was working as a server or driver im pretty sure id have a different point of view.

Working sub minimum wage jobs that you voluntary agreed for = no education. If it weren't for labor laws in the US, you would easily be replaced by 10 year olds. In fact in a lot of "family" owned restaurants, you see that now already. So what makes you think you really deserve more? You refill sodas and carry food from point a to point b. Sub minimum wage or minimum wage at the most seems about right.

Oh, word? Sorry I couldn't get a better job at 16. Guess I had no education going into my job hunt that landed me a delivery gig. We should definitely start treating these kids like they are living in a third world country.. because you know what? They're replaceable damnit!!!

I've never known teens to really %$+$# about tipping though. It's always the adult servers/delivery drivers/cab-bus drivers/bellhops/people who put your food in a bag that they didn't cook/cash register people who want to act all indignant about how much money they make. Hell the list would have been shorter of people who don't think they need a tip.
And yes, given the little amount of intelligence involved in most menial minimum wage w/ tip jobs, you'd think that work force would be more grateful to be employed and %$+$# less.
How it should be below

Not tipping is just greed and selfishness. Point blank.
Everybody needs to eat. I want to live in a society not the jungle.
I tip even when I prob shouldn't. I rather err on the side of giving too much then too little.
The funny thing is you greedy folks don't realize that money comes and goes. If you won't lose it by giving someone a tip, you're gonna lose it/have it taken away another way. That money which I provide as a tip will eventually get back to me in form or another. I have no worries of letting go of a few dollars in order to benefit another person for a service they provide.
