How a Papa Johns pizza surge near the Pentagon tipped off social media before Trump's decisive Iran strike
NY Post ^ | 6/21/25 | Alexandra Koch

The Pentagon Pizza Report, a social media account that claimed to have accurately predicted Israel’s initial June 12 military strikes on Iran, posted that local pizza traffic near the Pentagon was "HIGH" within an hour of the U.S. launching attacks against Iranian nuclear sites Saturday night.

President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social the U.S. military completed an attack on three Nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan.

"A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site, Fordow," the president wrote in the post. "Thank you for your attention to this matter."

Less than an hour before the announcement, the account said "HIGH activity is being reported at the closest Papa Johns to the Pentagon."

Account administrators added Freddie's Beach Bar, a restaurant and bar near the Pentagon that has also been previously used as an indicator of impending military action, was reporting abnormally low activity levels for a Saturday night.

"Classic indicator for potential overtime at the Pentagon," the account wrote.

Following the president's announcement on Truth Social, the account posted a simple, "Thank you for your attention to this matter," echoing the wording in Trump's post.

About half an hour before Trump's address to the nation, the pizza account noted there was a "HUGE traffic surge" at the Domino's closest to MacDill Air Force Base, home of CENTCOM, as of about 9:36 p.m. eastern time.

in the Army we were taught how to carry our own excrement to hinder enemy intelligence

The US Army Special Forces S.O.G. teams in Vietnam, who carried out cross border missions into Laos, and Cambodia, would routinely spend the 72 hours before a mission locked up. Partly for security, and partly so that the Americans, ate the same food as their Montagnard team mates, so that North Vietnamese Army troops hunting them across the border, could not tell from the scat that there were Americans in the area.

Hmmm. The Pentagon boys are the ones telling us grunts to police cigarette butts in order to avoid statistical counting.

According to reports, they weren’t told, because they weren’t trusted to keep their mouths shut.

Entities monitoring could just as easily watch the parking lots and entry gates for increased activity on typically low traffic times.

Sure. Apparently it’s not worth much attention, or isn’t a reliable enough indicator. Someone might have known something was up, but what? Trump’s behavior was brilliant...I’m sure there was phonied up military activity ...the B-2s activities may have been couched as something else. Not telling the Democrats was probably the capper for good opsec.

Just watch what Trump does. Now, every time he goes to a golf course, tyrants need to wonder if hell will soon rain down upon them.

Better check how many of the Pizzas are Kosher or if any are Halal.

Yup.

That may never happen again.

Pretty stupid on someone’s part IMHO.

So, maybe order Chinese the next time?

Don’t they get tired of pizza every time?

Or do they want people to know?

Too bad sneaky Pete left here long ago
He was there

A lot of those spike teams named for states and snakes and tools did back to back next day outings if called upon

Truly incredible stuf
