What the trust labels mean
- Verified— Pizza Code Finder has real checkout, location, or user evidence that the deal works, reviewed by an admin. This is the only label that means “we checked.”
- Source-listed— we found the deal on the brand's own official website or app and summarized it, but we have not personally run it through a checkout. Most official-brand records sit here.
- Community reported— a user told us about it and we couldn't confirm it on an official source. It is not fake and not verified — just unconfirmed. (The Paisano's ad codes are a good example.)
- Unverified — manually researched, but not confirmed on an official source and not user-reported.
- Likely expired — repeated recent evidence suggests the deal no longer works. We only use this with support, never off one report.
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.
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. Enough recent positive reports can move a deal toward verified — but only an admin makes that 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.
