Pentagon Pizza Orders Spike: Online Speculation and Skepticism
The Pentagon Pizza Report, an X account, observed a significant surge in pizza orders near government agencies on Friday, with pizzerias reporting high traffic. This echoes a similar spike reported on August 27 and 28. The “Pentagon Pizza Index,” a viral theory from the Cold War era, posits that increased late-night pizza orders could indicate a national security crisis or military action, though no definitive proof supports this. This concept originated with Soviet spies, who monitored pizza deliveries for clues about impending U.S. government actions.
