A spike in pizza orders near the headquarters of the US Department of Defense has once again drawn widespread attention online, after social media users claimed activity surged by as much as 1,250 per cent in early January. The reports quickly reignited interest in the so-called 'Pentagon Pizza Meter,' an informal internet theory that tracks takeaway orders near major government buildings.
The alleged surge, highlighted by online accounts that monitor foot traffic and delivery data around the Pentagon, prompted speculation that unusual working patterns or heightened activity may be under way within the US defence establishment. No official confirmation has been provided, and the theory itself is widely regarded as anecdotal.
