The Shiro Corporation - A theory suddenly went viral on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), linking a surge in pizza orders around the US military headquarters, the Pentagon, to signs of an impending geopolitical crisis, in this case an attack by Israel on Iran.
This theory emerged after an X (formerly Twitter) account named Pentagon Pizza Report posted about suspicious activity at several pizza restaurants not long before Israel launched a military attack on Iran as part of Operation Lion.
In the post on Thursday (13/6/2025), the account wrote that almost all pizza places around the Pentagon experienced a sudden surge in orders around 18:59 local time.
This activity is rumored to be an indication of preparations or sudden activities at the US defense headquarters.
"With about an hour of operating time left, the Domino's nearest to the Pentagon (about 8 minutes away) experienced a very high increase in activity compared to a usual Thursday night at 11:00 PM," the account wrote.
This theory, now called the Pentagon Pizza Index, suggests that an increase in fast food orders, such as pizza, in areas of important institutions like the Pentagon, the White House, or the CIA, can indicate extraordinary activity, such as major military decisions, intelligence operations, or global political crises.
Menurut The Guardian , quoted KompasTekno On Thursday (19/6/2025), nearly an hour before the first reports of an explosion in Tehran appeared on Iranian television, pizza order activity around the Pentagon surged dramatically.
The Pentagon Pizza Report account even included a Google Maps screenshot of four pizza restaurants around the Pentagon: We, The Pizza; District Pizza Palace, Domino’s, and Extreme Pizza.
This concept is not new. During the Cold War era, reports mentioned that Soviet agents once suspected late-night pizza delivery orders in Washington as signals that America was about to make a military move.
In another report, it was mentioned that on August 1, 1990, Domino's received a surge in pizza orders to the CIA building, one day before Iraq under Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait.
The US government denied
Responding to this viral news, a spokesperson for the Pentagon denied that the pizza order indicates any special military activity. They mentioned that various food options, including pizza and sushi, are already available within the Pentagon complex. sandwich , to donuts.
"It is incorrect for us to rely solely on external restaurants for sudden dinner arrangements," stated the spokesperson, as quoted from The Times of India .
Meanwhile, the Pentagon Pizza Report account also reported that a nightclub near the Pentagon experienced a drastic decrease in visitors on that Thursday night, coinciding with the time of Israel's attack on Iran.
Although this theory is widely discussed, the United States government officially denies its involvement in the attack on Iran by Israel. President Donald Trump stated, "The US has nothing to do with the attack on Iran," in a post on the Truth Social platform.
This statement is in Indonesian. Here is the accurate English translation:
"We were not involved in the attack on Iran and our top priority is to protect US forces in the region," he said.
Rubio also said that Israel informed Washington that this action was part of self-defense.
