Ordering Boston Pizza for delivery is convenient, but the final total can differ noticeably depending on which app you use. Each delivery platform sets its own fees, service charges, and minimums, and those amounts can also vary by location, time of day, and order size. This guide explains, in general terms, how Uber Eats, DoorDash, and SkipTheDishes charges usually work, and how to compare them fairly before you checkout.
No specific fee amount is quoted here, because fees change and depend on your address and the current terms in each app. Always compare the final total in the app you are about to use, rather than relying on a fee you saw earlier or in another city.
What makes up a delivery total?
A delivery total is usually more than the menu price. It can include the food total, a delivery fee, a service fee, a small-order fee if your order is below a threshold, and tax. Some apps also offer optional tips and subscription benefits that change the total. That is why two apps can show the same pizza price but very different checkout totals.
Uber Eats, DoorDash, and SkipTheDishes in general terms
Uber Eats
Uber Eats often combines a delivery fee with a service fee, and may show surge or busy-period pricing at peak times. Membership or promotional offers, when available, can reduce some fees, but they do not always apply to every restaurant or order.
DoorDash
DoorDash also commonly separates delivery and service fees, and may add a small-order fee for lower totals. Its subscription option, when available, can change the fee structure, so compare the total with and without any membership benefit before assuming it saves money.
SkipTheDishes
SkipTheDishes, widely used in Canada, similarly charges delivery and service-related fees that vary by restaurant and distance. Promotions and restaurant-specific offers can appear in the app, but they are often limited to certain items, times, or locations.
In short, there is no single cheapest app for every order. The best choice depends on your address, order size, time of day, and any current promotion in each app.
How to compare fees fairly
- Build the same order in each app, with the same items and quantities.
- Compare the final total, including all fees and tax, not just the delivery fee headline.
- Check for a small-order fee, and consider adding a side from the Boston Pizza apps and wings prices page if it brings the total over a threshold without waste.
- Check delivery time as well as price — a cheaper app is less useful if it arrives much later.
- Look for pickup as an alternative: takeout from the Boston Pizza takeout menu prices page often avoids delivery and service fees entirely.
Ordering tips that often save more than switching apps
Ordering for a group, choosing a larger shared pizza instead of several small mains, and checking the Boston Pizza daily specials menu can sometimes save more than a small fee difference. Also compare the restaurant’s own delivery option, where available, with app delivery, since fees and menu prices can differ between channels.

Frequently asked questions
Why is the same order cheaper on one app than another?
Apps set their own fees, promotions, and minimums, and menu prices can also differ by channel. The final total, not the menu price alone, is the fair comparison.
Do delivery fees stay the same all day?
Not necessarily. Fees and delivery times can rise during busy periods, bad weather, or high demand, so a comparison done earlier in the day may not match the evening total.
Is pickup always cheaper than delivery?
Usually, because pickup avoids delivery and many service fees, but it costs time and travel. Compare the pickup total with the delivery total for your specific order before deciding.
