On February 28, unusual activity was reported at pizza shops near the Pentagon, according to BlockBeats. On the afternoon of February 27, local time, there was a significant surge in pizza orders around the Pentagon, leading to an increase in the alert level to 4, suggesting heightened military activity.
This pattern is noteworthy as similar changes were observed in January when the U.S. engaged in military action against Venezuela. The Pentagon Pizza Index, considered a barometer for U.S. military operations, is based on the assumption that when the Pentagon's high-level command center or operations room is dealing with major, sudden international crises or military deployments, staff members need to work overtime. During late-night shifts, they often order large quantities of pizza for dinner.
