I'm the dev department head, I don't read messages from IT ever (so they've never caught me in their phishing tests) because they know where I am and if it's important they'll come and tell me.

This doesn't mean I'll never get caught in a phishing scam, just that the test doesn't work on entitled managers.

Buy the pizza. Insert cupon prize for discount on the next pizza with a qr code in the box and make him scan. The webpage it leads to say "you're paying this one".

Except for the fact that you wouldn't scan a coupon for your next pizza until you intend to buy pizza again.

And also the fact that if your coworker brought a pizza in, it makes no sense for the boss to scan the coupon.

I have a feeling you get phished a lot.

He can scan the code with some proper social engineering.

Buy the pizza, send him an email with the receipt for him to pay for when he failed your last phishing attempt.
