Seems like it'd be best to do this in a city with a higher minimum wage (like Seattle), a reliable fuel efficient car that easy to get in and out of (Kia Soul? first gen prius).

Maximize your tax breaks like the mileage break from the government where you get to deduct $.51/mile on your taxes. You could literally have 0 tax burden. I don't think Dominoes is paying the federal mileage reimbursement but if they are then you get the money up front and not back in taxes. If that's the case you use that reimbursement to pay for gas and maintenance. If your car is efficient and reliable enough it should pay for both with some left over, especially if you can do most of the work yourself.

Tips are primarily in cash so that's also income you (choose) to not claim on taxes if that's your prerogative but that's what pretty much all food servers do.

With the right car, right minimum wage city, enough work, good average tips and managing your tax burden correctly.. you'd probably make more than any UBER driver.
