The bartender takes your order over the phone and when you arrive for pick up, they walk back to the kitchen, assembles your order including condiments etc and brings it to you. In my mind that is not much different than the service a waiter performs during table service. They are taking your order, responsible for correctness and ultimately bringing the food to you. So I leave a few dollars for the effort, assuming the order is correct! Maybe it goes back to my years in the service industry, managing a restaurant for almost 10 years....
What gets to me in terms of tipping are the tip jars that have popped up everywhere. Stop at you local 7-11/Circle K and there is a tip jar there! What is the tip for, punching a couple of keys on the cash register???

It's a pizza. It's in a box and he hands it to you over the counter. No condiments required!
