Transcript

00:00On 21 June 2025, something odd happened.

00:03Ex-account Pentagon Pisa report,

00:05pizzerias near the Pentagon saw a surge in orders.

00:07At first glance, it looked like a regular busy evening.

00:10But just hours later,

00:12Israel launched a surprise military strike on Iran.

00:15But this isn't a mere coincidence.

00:17It's what's now known as the Pentagon Pisa Theory.

00:21The idea is simple.

00:22When the US military or intelligence agencies

00:25are planning something big,

00:26people work late.

00:27And when they work late,

00:29they order pizza.

00:30A similar spike in late-night pizza orders

00:32has been spotted before

00:33some of the most high-profile global events.

00:36Back in 1989,

00:37a sudden pizza rush preceded the US invasion of Panama.

00:40In 1991,

00:41the night before Operation Desert Storm,

00:43pizzerias near defense hubs were flooded.

00:45Before President Bill Clinton's impeachment proceedings in 1998,

00:49same thing.

00:50Even the Osama bin Laden raid in 2011

00:52saw a spike in food deliveries to key command centers.

00:55The theory got public attention

00:57when Domino's franchisee owner Frank Meeks,

00:59who delivered to CIA and Pentagon buildings in the 90s,

01:02noticed a trend.

01:03Big orders often meant big news was about to follow.

01:06Now, in 2025, the pattern repeats.

01:09On June 12,

01:10orders went up,

01:11and by June 13,

01:12missiles were flying.

01:13However, critics and officials dismiss it as pure coincidence.

01:17A Pentagon spokesperson even joked

01:19the staff also loves sushi and coffee just as much.

01:22But internet sleuths think otherwise.

01:24For them,

01:25this pattern is a low-key signal

01:26or forecast of global events.
