What the trust labels mean
Each deal card shows a status badge in its corner, plus scope and channel chips. Those badges match the legend below, and every label here has its own link — so a card can point you straight to what its badge means.
Pizza Code Finder checked this deal with real checkout, location, or user evidence, reviewed by an admin. It is the only label that means “we checked.” A deal is Verified only with Pizza Code Finder verification evidence (or future admin-approved evidence) — so nothing on the site is Verified today.
We found the deal on the brand's own official website or app and summarized it. Source-listed is not checkout-verified — we have not personally run it through a checkout. Treat it as a strong starting point, then confirm the discount actually appears in your cart before you pay.
A visitor told us about the deal and we could not confirm it on an official source. Community reported does not mean verified, and it does not mean fake — it is simply unconfirmed. Check your local restaurant or app before relying on it.
“User submitted” and “Community report” are the source lines you'll see inside a community-reported card's details. They carry the same trust level as Community reported: it came from a visitor, so it is unconfirmed — not verified, and not fake.
Manually researched (the card's source line reads “Manual research”) but not confirmed on an official source and not user-reported. A starting point, not a guarantee.
Repeated recent evidence suggests the deal no longer works. We only use this with support — never off a single report.
The deal comes from a regional chain (for example a Mid-Atlantic pizza chain) or a participating-locations offer, so it is not nationwide. YMMV means “your mileage may vary” — check whether the chain operates in your area before counting on it.
When you enter a ZIP, a regional deal whose chain covers your state is tagged Regional match — likely relevant for your area. It is a coarse state-level match, not a promise that a specific store is nearby, so always check the chain's own locations page.
Shown on a regional or participating-locations deal when your ZIP can't tell us whether it applies. It is not hidden and not confirmed — check the chain's locations before ordering.
The deal only works inside the brand's app or for rewards members — not as a public code you type at an ordinary checkout. A miss here is a channel rule, not a fake code.
Two rules apply to every label. A failed attempt does not automatically mean a deal is fake or expired. And pizza deals vary by location, day, app or rewards account, and checkout — so the same code can work for one person and not another for ordinary reasons.
Why pizza codes fail (usually not fraud)
A code that doesn't apply is almost always a real code that didn't match your cart, not a scam. Common reasons: it expired, it's tied to a day of week or time window, it only works at participating or regional locations, it's app- or rewards-only, or the minimum order wasn't met. That's why a single “didn't work today” is a weak signal — one miss doesn't mean the deal is dead, fake, or expired.
Why region, app, day, and time matter
Pizza deals are unusually condition-heavy. A Mid-Atlantic regional chain like Ledo, Paisano's, or Vocelli only runs where it has stores. A mid-week special won't apply on a Friday. A late-evening code (say, after 7:30 PM) is dead at lunchtime. An app-only reward won't apply to a walk-up order. We label each deal's scope, day, and channel so a conditional deal is never presented as if it worked everywhere, always.
How your reports help
The “Did this work?” control on each deal card lets you report a nuanced outcome — worked, didn't work today, wrong day/time, location didn't honor it, app/rewards only, regional/participating only, looks expired, or looks fake — plus optional context (order channel, ZIP, day/time, a short note). We weigh those honestly: a worked report is a positive signal, a soft miss barely moves anything, and a “looks fake” report goes to a human for review rather than auto-changing the deal. Reports help us decide whether a deal should stay source-listed, become verified, or move toward likely expired — but only an admin makes the verified call.
Where our deal sources come from
Our public sources are official brand and restaurant websites only. When we can confirm a deal on a brand's own page, we link it and label it source-listed. When we can't, we keep the source link empty and label it community reported or unverified. We never cite or link a third-party deal, coupon, or community site as a source for a deal.
