'Pentagon Pizza Index' that allows you to observe whether the theory that 'an increase in the number of pizza deliveries to the Pentagon is a sign that military operations will be carried out' is true
It is strictly forbidden for a nation's military operations to be leaked to the outside in advance, but in the United States, there is a theory that 'immediately before carrying out any military operation, the staff of the US Department of Defense (Pentagon) will be in a canned state, so orders to nearby pizza shops will increase.' A website that actually visualizes the congestion situation of pizza shops around the Pentagon and may be able to observe signs of military operations is 'PENTAGON PIZZA INDEX'is.

The top page of 'PENTAGON PIZZA INDEX' looks like this.
The 'DEFCON' at the top is the Pentagon's official five-level index of war readiness, but here it's a unique index based on the pizza shop's behavior, showing how close military operations are to being implemented. A '5' indicates peacetime, while a '1' indicates increasingly tense defense readiness.

The idea of tracking agency activity based on orders to nearby pizza places originated in the 1970s and 1980s, when Soviet intelligence agents monitored late-night food delivery patterns in Washington, D.C., to monitor the situation. In emergencies, military and intelligence agency personnel working late into the night would order large amounts of food (especially pizza), so an increase in pizza orders was a sign that something was about to happen.
Between 1983 and 1989, local pizza delivery drivers also noticed this trend and began to realize they could predict 'big news' up to 72 hours before major military operations. In fact, pizza places near the Pentagon reportedly saw spikes in orders before the 1983 invasion of Grenada and the 1989 invasion of Panama .

The Pentagon has consistently maintained that there is no correlation between the surge in pizza orders and military operations, and that there are ample food options available within the Pentagon. In a June 12 statement, the Pentagon said it could not provide any information about the relationship between pizza orders and military operations.
However, just before Israel bombed Tehran, the capital of Iran, in June 2025, a pizza restaurant near the Pentagon was reportedly crowded.
