Pentagon Pizza Tracker Predicted Israel’s Strikes On Iran

Okay, buckle down for this one.

An account on X named ‘Pentagon Pizza Tracker” predicted something was up at the Pentagon on Thursday night.

The account tracks how many orders of pizza are delivered to the Pentagon.

Well, one hour before Iran confirmed they were hit by Israeli missiles, pizza deliveries to the Pentagon went through the roof.

AFP shared these key details:

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.

Pentagon-adjacent pizza joints also got much busier than usual during Israel’s 2024 missile strike on Iran, it said, as there are “a multitude of fast food restaurants in the Pentagon complex, but no pizza places.”

Pizza deliveries to the Pentagon reportedly doubled right before the US invasion of Panama in December 1989, and surged again before Operation Desert Storm in 1991.

The Daily Dot explained the Pentagon Pizza Theory:

The Pentagon Pizza Theory suggests a strange but oddly specific idea: when war looms, D.C.’s pizza joints get slammed.

The concept dates back to the early 1990s, when Domino’s franchise owner Frank Meeks noticed spikes in Pentagon-area delivery orders during military events. He famously said pizza sales surged right before Iraq invaded Kuwait in 1990. It happened again, he claimed, during Clinton’s impeachment hearings in 1998.

The theory resurfaced in 2024, thanks in part to TikTok sleuths and a surge in political memes. In August, former New York legislator Ben Geller pointed to an unusually busy local pizza chain while tensions simmered in the Middle East.

That moment breathed new life into what many now call the Pentagon Pizza Report, and was fanned by the flames of the Pentagon Pizza Report account on X (@PenPizzaReport), which also launched in August 2024.

Supporters of the theory argue that high-level Pentagon staff stay late during international crises. This is because they are often too busy to cook or go out for a meal. Their assistants, the theory goes, frantically order pizza, creating a noticeable uptick in delivery demand. Google search results showing restaurants as “extremely busy” or “busier than usual” near the Pentagon are now taken as ominous signs.
