Pentagon Pizza Orders Spike Before Iran Airstrikes

News summary

A surge in pizza deliveries to restaurants near the Pentagon, known as the 'Pentagon Pizza Index,' has gained renewed attention after a spike in orders around 6:59 pm ET appeared to precede Israel's airstrikes on Iran in June 2025. The X account 'Pentagon Pizza Report' documented the phenomenon, echoing patterns from previous major military operations like the US invasions of Panama and Iraq. This pattern, sometimes called 'Pizzint' dating back to the Cold War, is now tracked using open-source tools such as Google Maps, and often correlates with decreased nightlife near the Pentagon as staff work late. Open-source intelligence analysts consider the index, despite its lack of scientific rigor, alongside traditional indicators like flight and satellite data. While the Pentagon itself has no pizza shops on site, consistent spikes in nearby orders continue to intrigue both analysts and the public. The trend underscores how seemingly mundane consumer data can provide unexpected insight into secretive government activity.
