1. Build the cart you actually intend to order
Add the pizza(s) you'd order, the correct channel (delivery vs carryout), and your real delivery address / store. Many codes silently refuse outside the right channel or store.
2. Paste the code at checkout
Go to the checkout / promo-code field and paste the code. Watch for two distinct things:
- An error message— “Invalid code”, “Not eligible for this order”, “Min subtotal $XX”. Read the exact wording — “not eligible” usually means a real rule is blocking it (region / channel / day), not that the code is fake.
- A price change on the subtotal line— this is the only signal that actually confirms the code worked. A “applied successfully” toast doesn't count without a visible discount.
3. Don't pay if you didn't want to
Up to the moment you confirm payment, you can abandon the cart. The brand's system has logged the attempt, but you're not charged. This is the whole point of verifying — you find out whether the discount applies before you spend anything.
4. Try the other channel if you have time
Carryout-only and delivery-only codes are common. If your first attempt was delivery and the code refused, switch the same cart to carryout (or vice versa) and try the code again. If the second channel works, that's a channel rule, not a broken code.
5. Report accurately
On /communitythe “Worked for me” / “Didn't work” buttons plus the optional disclosure (“If it didn't work, why?” reason, region, time tried, short note) let admins label deals as “Conditional: Thursday-only”, “Regional: Dallas”, “Likely expired”, etc. rather than treating a real-but-conditional code as fake. We don't penalise submitters for explainable failures.
6. What NOT to share
Don't submit codes that came in a private email or push notification to your account. Those are usually personalized and won't work for other users. We block them on submission and they can negatively affect your reputation if you keep filing them.
7. Stay safe
- Don't paste a code into a third-party site claiming “verify your code here”. That's a phishing pattern. Only paste the code into the brand's own checkout.
- Don't share screenshots that show your payment info, full name, or order confirmation number. Crop those out before posting anywhere.
- Don't pay for “exclusive” codes — legitimate brand codes are free.
