As a pizza delivery driver, your pizza shop is your base and you only go out when there's an order that needs to be delivered. My friend used to work at Pizza Hut and he was getting reimbursed for gas (per mile but it was slightly more than his gas mileage so i suppose it covers for wear and tear?).
As far as i know, you're not getting reimbursed for delivering DoorDash and the pickup location could be on the other side of the town.
I don't think DoorDash has to be less efficient for traveling than pizza delivery.
With pizza delivery, you have to drive to the person's house then back. So you cover the same road twice for a single delivery.
But with DoorDash, theoretically, then could see there's an order from A to B, find a driver near A, have the driver deliver to B, then match that driver up with an order from near B to near A. So the driver could do 2 deliveries in a single out and back trip.
In an ideal world, maybe - but most delivery drivers employed by the restaurant (like pizza delivery drivers) take multiple orders at a time to deliver. You're going to have to get very lucky to beat this on average with DoorDash or similar services.
