Pentagon pizza monitor predicted ‘busy night’ ahead of Israel’s attack on Iran
The Guardian ^ | Fri 13 Jun 2025

The timing of Israel’s plan to attack Iran was top-secret. But Washington pizza delivery trackers guessed something was up before the first bombs fell.

About an hour before Iranian state TV first reported loud explosions in Tehran, pizza orders around the Pentagon went through the roof, according to a viral X account claiming to offer “hot intel” on “late-night activity spikes” at the US military headquarters.

“As of 6:59 pm ET nearly all pizza establishments nearby the Pentagon have experienced a HUGE surge in activity,” the account Pentagon Pizza Report posted on Thursday.

Not confining its analysis to pizza, the account noted three hours later that a gay bar near the Pentagon had “abnormally low traffic for a Thursday night”, and said this probably pointed to “a busy night at the Pentagon”.

While far from scientific, the Pentagon pizza theory “is not something the internet just made up”, the Takeout, an online site covering restaurants and food trends, noted earlier this year.

If outside pizza orders are a tell you’d think setting up an in house pizza place wouldn’t be too much of a cost.

I would hope this was only fiction, but sometimes, our top agencies tend to become a little careless when it comes to dealing with group purchases.

It;s ‘Just Pizza’ but some time ago, there was the report of a cyberattack on AT&T, which resulted in the theft of call records belonging to various customers, including several FBI Agents.

McDonald’s is on site. But apparently a pizza joint isn’t.

Unfortunately, not everyone learns what not to do:

In 1991, one might have deduced the January 16 Desert Storm campaign by monitoring the influx of pizza deliveries to the Pentagon, according to current U.S. Army Operational Security (OPSEC) training materials.

Especially when it's on a Friday. They'll know something's up.

The key is a diversion — a lot of delivery orders from vegan restaurants.
