Pentagon Pizza Tracker Betrayed Israeli Strike Plans Against Iran
The Pentagon's prior knowledge of Israel's 'preemptive strike' on Iran appears to have been betrayed by a social media account that tracks pizza orders. The Pentagon Pizza Report on X monitors foot traffic at pizza shops near the Department of Defense in Arlington, Virginia. After logging normal foot traffic on Thursday, the account recorded 'extremely high levels of traffic' leading up to Israel's early morning June 13 attack on Iran. Secretary of State Marco Rubio rushed to assure that America had no involvement in the attack. However, the Pentagon Pizza Report suggested that the Pentagon at least knew the attack was in the works, judging by 'surging' orders. Hours before Israel launched 'Operation Rising Lion,' four pizza shops 'surged in traffic,' according to the account. Social media commentators suggested that the correlation could be a potential national security risk. 'They should really open a secret Dominos inside the building,' quipped one social media commentator as another commentator asked in Spanish, 'Do they eat pizza in Iran?' Another X commentator added, 'I feel like this really is telling us that there's a panic at these places.' According to Pentagon Pizza Report, the Domino's near the White House experienced 'another LARGE surge in activity' as Iran commenced its retaliation against Israel with its own barrage of missiles.

Pizza shop tracker showed spike in activity near Pentagon before Israel's strikes
An X account created to track the busyness of pizza shops could have predicted a major international event. The Pentagon Pizza Report tracks the real-time foot traffic at pizza spots near the Pentagon, hinting at officials working late at the government building, which may suggest potential conflict. Hours before Israel launched 'Operation Rising Lion,' the account posted the activity of four pizza shops, captioning the post, 'Most pizza establishments near the Pentagon are currently experiencing average traffic as of about 3:05pm ET.' The strikes took place late Thursday evening as the Pentagon Pizza Report monitored pizza shops in the Arlington, Virginia, area. The account continued posting updates about the closest and second-closest Domino's to the Pentagon leading up to and following the airstrikes. A post at 8:57 p.m. reported that the location had 'surged in traffic.' 'With about an hour left before close, the 2nd closest Dominos to the Pentagon (about 8 min drive) is experiencing EXTREMELY high levels of traffic compared to a normal Thursday at about 11:00pm ET,' the account said in another post. 5 The Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia, on March 21, 2025.

'It's going to be an all-nighter, eh,' said an X user.

Pentagon's late-night pizza orders serve up clues ahead of Israel's Iran strike
WASHINGTON, June 14 — The timing of Israel's plan to attack Iran was top secret. But Washington pizza delivery trackers guessed something was up before the first bombs fell. About an hour before Iranian state TV first reported loud explosions in Tehran, pizza orders around the Pentagon went through the roof, according to a viral X account claiming to offer 'hot intel' on 'late-night activity spikes' at the US military headquarters. 'As of 6.59pm ET nearly all pizza establishments nearby the Pentagon have experienced a HUGE surge in activity,' the account 'Pentagon Pizza Report' posted on Thursday. Not confining its analysis to pizza, the account noted three hours later that a gay bar near the Pentagon had 'abnormally low traffic for a Thursday night,' and said this probably pointed to 'a busy night at the Pentagon.' Both Dominos locations nearby the Pentagon continue to have abnormally high amounts of traffic for a Friday at around 7:08pm ET. The nearest gay bar to the Pentagon is also being reported as having VERY HIGH levels of activity. These are conflicting indicators! — Pentagon Pizza Report (@PenPizzaReport) June 13, 2025 While far from scientific, the Pentagon pizza theory 'is not something the internet just made up,' The Takeout, an online site covering restaurants and food trends, noted earlier this year. Pentagon-adjacent pizza joints also got much busier than usual during Israel's 2024 missile strike on Iran, it said, as there are 'a multitude of fast food restaurants in the Pentagon complex, but no pizza places.' Pizza deliveries to the Pentagon reportedly doubled right before the US invasion of Panama in December 1989, and surged again before Operation Desert Storm in 1991. President Donald Trump told The Wall Street Journal he was fully aware in advance of the bombing campaign, which Israel says is needed to end Iran's nuclear program. 'We know what's going on.' For the rest of Americans, pepperoni pie activity was not the only way to tell something was about to happen. Washington had already announced it was moving some diplomats and their families out of the Middle East on Wednesday. And close to an hour before Israel unleashed its firepower on Iran, the US ambassador in Jerusalem, Mike Huckabee, sent out a rather revealing X post: 'At our embassy in Jerusalem and closely monitoring the situation. We will remain here all night. 'Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!'' — AFP

How a surge in late-night pizza orders at the Pentagon predicted Israel's attack on Iran
Israel 's attack on Iran fueled online rumors that an influx of pizza deliveries to the Pentagon was an indicator that a foreign disaster was on the horizon. Pentagon Pizza Report, an account on X with over 69,000 followers, posted a photo on Thursday night of a traffic surge at the Domino's Pizza in Arlington, which is about a 10-minute drive from the Pentagon. The account monitors online orders for pizzerias near the Pentagon and the White House and posts screenshots of when they're busy. At around 7 pm on Thursday night, Pentagon Pizza Report posted, 'As of 6:59pm ET nearly all pizza establishments nearby the Pentagon have experienced a HUGE surge in activity.' A few hours later, the account shared wait times for a nearby bar, writing, 'Freddie's Beach Bar, the closest gay bar to the Pentagon, has abnormally low traffic for a Thursday night. Potentially indicating a busy night at the Pentagon.' Israel launched the first air strikes against Iran on Friday at 3 am local time/8 pm EST, just an hour after the Pentagon Pizza Report noted a drastic surge in activity. Pizza takeout only grew as the night continued, with the account noting that the Domino's on 2602 Columbia Pike had abnormally high traffic just before 9 pm EST. Traffic continued to skyrocket, and the second closest Domino's to the Pentagon also picked up some additional customers, experiencing 'extremely' high levels of activity around 11 pm EST. Social media users were quick to point out the connection online, with one comment reading, 'This was a great catch, within an hour bombs flying in Tehran.' 'I feel like this really is telling us that there's a panic at these places,' another added. 'The pentagon needs its own pizza place inside the building. this is embarrassing,' a third noted. A fourth agreed, 'This is a security risk.' Pentagon Pizza Report screenshots data from Google, which uses an algorithm to track what times of day certain businesses are popular. Google displays the graph when someone uses the search engine to look up a business. Live visit data is also displayed so customers can check Google to see how busy a business is at that time.
