Pentagon pizza pie pie cover, an X calculate that tracks online pizza orders nigh government agencies like the Pentagon and CIA, reported a massive spike on Friday.

The latest tweet was made at 7:36 PM. “Pizzerias near the Pentagon are currently mixed, ranging between below average to above average,” it read.
Social media users were quick to notice these reports. “Pizzato pizza, the only place near the Pentagon open past midnight, has received a 303% spike in orders from the Pentagon today,” one person tweeted along with a screenshot of a time analysis.
The Pentagon Pizza Index is a viral theory that suggests that a spike in late-night pizza orders near the US intelligence headquarters could signal a national security crisis or military action. However, there is no concrete evidence to back this theory.

The Pentagon Pizza Index theory started during the Cold War when Soviet spies in Washington reportedly monitored pizza deliveries and interpreted sudden spikes in orders as possible signs that the US government was preparing for major action. The Guardian reported that in August 1990, a Domino's franchisee in Washington reported a surge just hours before Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait.
As per news.com.au, it was called ‘Pizzint’, aka pizza intelligence. Wolf Blitzer of CNN once joked, "The bottom line for journalists: always keep an eye on the pizzas."
