I’ve been tipping pizza type deliveries 20% since Covid, but it seems high to me. What’s everyone tip their delivery guys? I don’t want to short them, but I don’t want to go broke either.

In Korea the Delivery fee is on top of what you order and it is set by the company so you know how much you need to pay before you order. I think this way it's much better for everyone, there is no ambiguity.

The fee is around 2000 KRW ($ 1.52) and 4000 KRW ($3.03) and if you order a lot they offer no delivery fee. This is in the city where there a lot of restaurants offering it so it's not very far they need to drive and they use a Scooter most of the time.

Unfortunately delivery fees are still very much so a thing in the US, just doesn't go to the driver. Company pockets it.
