They make money selling pizza (super high margin), not at delivery.

It's a distinction without a difference. It's not like they lose money by offering the delivery service, so they've found some model where delivering food is profitable, it's just that the model involves a tight coupling with the food producer.

It might be more accurate to say that food delivery as a separate business from producing it is hard to profit on.

Unless you’re Papa Johns and you tack on a delivery fee that doesn’t go to the driver.
