Q: Can I bring a lawsuit against pizza companies that outsource their delivery driving to doordash?

For instance, when I order a pizza through papa johns, there's a delivery charge included. But when it comes time to deliver the pizza, it's doordash doing the delivering, not papa johns. Should the delivery charge be included if it's a different company bringing the food?
