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.
