I know this sounds loopy as all get-out but stranger things ... Would like to see if it could have been legit. DOD might want to start keeping food prep “In House” more often than not.
Well, considering it was a Saturday Night, too hot to cook, probably a lot of takeout, not just from the Pentagon.
That seems to be a tip-off to an enemy nation that could be used to minimalize casualties.
Pizza delivery drivers may be suspect, as well. Remember the Fort Dix attack? Recon by pizza delivery drivers. I hope it’s better now, but pizza deliveries become so routine on military bases that I think their vehicles escape a lot of scrutiny.
Foreign intelligence was on to this “tell” back in the 90’s and before. “Social Media” is trying to claim creds on an old school link analysis...
Papa John’s is the pick of the litter for pizza in DC? How sad.
Pat Gray on TheBlaze was talking about this earlier last week.
“Papa John’s! The official pizza of US bombing runs!”...future ad...
[Couldn’t they have picked a better pizza, at least?]
From 5 days ago. Who needs Papa John’s

This reads like a Babylon Bee piece.
That said, the White House needs to build its own kitchen with pizza oven.
I just went on a tour of the Pentagon last week. Here are the food options within the confines of the building:
McDonald’s, Five Guys, Popeye’s, Subway, Panera, Starbucks, Dunkin’, Baskin‑Robbins, Lebanese Taverna, SmokeDatt BBQ, Panda Express, KFC–Pizza Hut–Taco Bell, Sbarro, Moe’s, Jamba, Potbelly, Tropical Smoothie, Fresh Kitchen, Market Basket Café, and Halal Guys.
These were not open when I was on the tour, but there were other 24 hour cafeterias that were serving food.
The Pentagon is incredibly huge and simple to navigate, plus, they get all the cable channels.
Having worked inside the Pentagon (2010 to 2013)...I’ll just say pizza options are ‘crap’ for normal hours. So if you were talking 6 PM to 2 AM...you’d have no choice but to call a pizza shop within a 8-min drive of the building...having some soldier/airman take possession near the entry point.
“Yeah, I need 20 extra-large Shaqaroni’s delivered to the Pentagon, please.”
Status: Plausible
The operational consideration was likely the “phase of the moon.” Last night it was waning crescent — almost no moon. If that was the overriding consideration then the ‘go’ decision was probably made a week ago.
OR, follow the loose lips, here at FR.
MREs if nothing else, in the Army we were taught how to carry our own excrement to hinder enemy intelligence and in some units you don’t leave scat at all on a mission, the Pentagon needs to follow security measures.
Yeah it’s ‘strange’ but not impossible. I would call on the SecDef to take note that the pentagon’s being watched and it needs to be completely opaque. For all we know there was a ChiCom in there monitoring, and this was his signal. Take measures to mitigate/minimize this type of opsec risk.
Its an open secret. I've known about it since the early 90s when the first gulf war occurred. And I was nowhere near DC at the time. I was in Korea. Word travels.
