So when costs go up, you just stiff the person actually rendering the service? The fact that it's an "identical service" isn't the crux of the matter here: It means that that service has become costly to fund at the same level and they have to make up the difference somehow. You're basically punishing the driver for something beyond their control.
Nope, I'm not the one stiffing the driver. The store is the one stiffing the driver. They offer a product for a certain price. They offer delivery as a way to increase their business. Many more people buy something they don't have to go out to get. To have begun not charging for that service and then start charging for it is to my mind, more that the store is stealing the tip from the driver.

I'd stop going to the restaurant instead. I need to pay you in exchange for guaranteeing to you that you get to take my money? Absurd.

But you are stiffing the driver: You're holding them all accountable for things completely out of their control (e.g. gas prices, insurance costs, etc). When costs increase, how do you propose they make up the difference? Pizza prices across the board? Charge more for your pizza and people will turn their nose because "like hell am I paying more for pizza when I don't even use delivery!" (In many cases though overall costs ARE increased simply because ingredients start costing more).
When delivery costs more to perform, you increase the price of the delivery overall to maintain (at least) the same level of profitability. The store isn't "stealing tips" from the driver (although I can concede that the system definitely hurts their earning potentials). Would you rather they raise pizza prices for delivery instead?
By not tipping the driver because you're unwilling to pay for the cost of the delivery, you're shifting the cost burden to the driver. Your argument is basically "I don't care if their costs are rising, I don't want to pay any more to compensate it, so the driver is going to eat it."

Usually the "keep the change" things works, but if that's not enough, I'll give a few extra 1's. However, with those coupons, you should just go with the original price of the meal. Make the deliver's day.
Tips should be based on the service rendered, not the price of the food.
If I tip 40% for great service and 20% for competent service, why should a great waiter get 40% of a 10 dollar burger and fries, while a only competent waiter gets 20% of 40 dollar filet mignon?
I treat restaurants as my share always being 20 dollars, and your tip is a percentage of that based on quality of service, whether I spent 5 dollar or 50 dollars. So competent service is going to get a 4 dollar tip, up to 10-15 for exceptional service. And I've tipped more than my actual bill many times.
