Conflict of interest policy
A pizza publication that compares equipment and judges pizzerias has obvious ways to become conflicted. These are the rules Boccalone holds itself to, written before any commercial relationship exists.
Commercial disclosure · About Boccalone
In short
Boccalone currently sells nothing and has no affiliate, sponsorship, or supplier relationships. If that changes, the relationship is disclosed beside every claim it could affect, safety guidance stays noncommercial, and coverage of competitors changes as described below.
Where things stand
Boccalone sells no food, equipment, or ingredients, and operates no restaurant, shop, or pop-up. It carries no affiliate links, sponsorship, or advertising.
Rules that apply now
- Nothing is recommended because it pays.
- No free equipment or ingredients are accepted.
- A free meal, if one is ever accepted, is disclosed on the page, including whether it was arranged in advance. It does not buy coverage.
- Requests to be reviewed are not accepted, because accepting them would quietly shape what gets covered.
- Safety pages carry no commercial links.
If affiliate links are ever added
They will be disclosed above the fold on the page that carries them, and they will not change what is recommended.
If Boccalone ever sells pizza
The publication may one day become a pizza business. If that happens, Boccalone stops comparatively covering pizzerias in its trading area and discloses the relationship on every page that discusses a competitor.
Any formula developed for something that is sold is labelled as such wherever it appears.
No gambling
Boccalone will never carry gambling advertising, links, or content.
