A viral claim circulating on X suggests that pizza sales near the Pentagon and the White House serve as an informal indicator of when US officials are working late on urgent matters.
Dubbed the “Pentagon Pizza Report,” the theory argues that sudden increases in late-night pizza deliveries to government offices may coincide with impending military or political developments.

The trend gained momentum on Saturday as users pointed to past examples, with many noting that pizza orders reportedly surged before the last US strike on Iran.

Screenshots and posts connecting delivery data with historical events spread quickly, fueling speculation that a recent spike in orders could be a sign of something significant happening behind closed doors.
No official confirmation has been made regarding the theory, and there is no publicly available data verifying a direct correlation between food deliveries and military actions.
Still, the “pizza indicator” has taken on a life of its own online, with many treating it as a meme while others view it as a possible signal worth watching.
