Pizza orders may predict US military actions on Iran ?

The Pentagon Pizza Index has emerged as an unconventional intelligence indicator tracking pizza delivery surges near Pentagon before major military events. Recent reports suggest pizza orders spiked 1250 percent on January 5 2026 following Venezuela operations and preceded June 2025 Israeli strikes on Iran. The theory originated from 1990s observations when pizza deliveries doubled before Desert Storm and Panama invasion. Critics like Zenobia Homan cite confirmation bias and data limitations while supporters note decades of apparent correlations with geopolitical events.
