Typically, delivery charges don't go to the driver, they are an artificial surcharge made by the pizza companies to deal with the rising cost of ingredients.

You don't have to tip if you don't mind spit on your next delivery.

Lol, thanks for the replies. I was wondering since it just said delivery charge but was not specific as to where it goes.

When I worked at Pizza Hut, the $1.50 delivery charge was split. Drivers received $1.00 and the $.50 went towards the company (franchise). Tipping is completely up to you, but generally most tip 10 to 20%. I always go to pick it up when money is tight. I always view the tip as a 'lazy charge.'
I delivered pizzas a long time ago. The delivery charge (50cent at the time) went to the driver, plus any tips and an hourly wage.
I think a $2 delivery charge is adequate for a $13 order and would not tip additionally - but thats just me.

Delivery charge is a scam, just like how restaurants try to sneak in a %15 charge for tip if you do not look at your bill, then they expect another 15% on top of that.
